Bangkok Transportation

Transportation in Bangkok


Public transport
Public transport is not usually equipped to facilitate disabled access. Public buses are inaccessible to wheelchair users. Disabled people are usually forced to travel through the cities by taxi. However, few taxi drivers are experienced or trained in helping a wheelchair-bound customer in and out of their cars. Most of taxi are used gas. So in behind taxi have a gas tank. it can't keep wheelchairs in behind.

 



Sky Train (BTS) stations in Bangkok are on two levels, with ticketing on the lower level and the trains on the upper, making access difficult for wheelchair users. Few of the stations provide disabled access although plans are in hand for elevators to be built at other stations.

At present, the wheelchair-accessible sky train stations are: 
- Chong Nonsi
- Krung Thon Buri
- Wongwan Yai
- Asoke
- On Nut
- Mo Chit
- Siam

Asok and Mo Chit stations have interchange with the underground MRT Mo Chit is near the Chatuchak weekend market

Siam station is near the shopping malls


The national rail network has no special facilities for disabled passengers but assistance will be given to those who ask.

The Bangkok underground (MRT) has better disabled access and all of the stations have elevators. Assistance will be given to disabled passengers if requested. On the trains there are locks for wheelchairs.
