Bang Khen Station (Thai: สถานีรถไฟบางเขน) is a railway station in Bangkok. It serves as a northern and northeastern line railway station, located 13 km (8 mi) from Bangkok railway station (Hua Lamphong). It also serves the SRT Dark Red Line since August 2021. Once long-distance train trial runs on the elevated tracks are complete, the ground-level station will likely close.
History
Bang Khen opened as a railway station on the Northern and Northeastern Line in the early 1900s. Although the station is named Bang Khen, it is not located in the present-day Bang Khen district. It is located in Chatuchak district since Chatuchak separated from Bang Khen district in 1989.[1] The original station structure was demolished in 1990 during the construction of the failed Hopewell BERTS project. The elevated station opened on 2 August 2021.[2][3]
