For a summary of the Bangkok skytrain and subway facilities for the disabled:

The Bangkok subway has lifts for the disabled at all stations. These lifts give access from the road level to the ticketing level and train platforms below. But not all stations have these facilities on both sides of the road.

The Bangkok skytrain only provides lifts for the disabled at five stations, N8 Mor Chit, Siam, E 4 Asoke, E 9 On Nut and S 3 Chong Nonsi This is partly due to space limitations. These lifts give access from the road level up to the ticketing levels and the train platforms.
