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]
