Location

Taling Chan Station is a railway station located in Taling Chan District, Bangkok. It is operated by the State Railway of Thailand and serves two routes: the Southern Main Line and the Bang Sue–Taling Chan SRT Light Red Line. In the future, it will become an interchange station and western terminus for the MRT Orange Line following the opening of the western extension in 2030. It is located 22.136 kilometres from Bangkok railway station. Taling Chan Junction serves as a junction for the mainline from Bangkok and the short branchline to Thon Buri railway station, near Siriraj Hospital.

Taling Chan Station is also the terminus for the current Light Red Line from Bang Sue. In the past, the station building was a wooden structure with about five platforms. Since 2009, the station was rebuilt to concrete and other tracks were removed for the SRT Light Red Line new tracks.

Bus feeder

Although Taling Chan District is full of many songthaew (local bus) lines, there is no line that provides service directly to this station including both BMTA buses and private joint service buses. Until July 25, 2024, BMTA changed the service route of ordinary bus line 189 (4-59) to provide service until it terminates here and make this bus provide service between Taling Chan Station and Wat Bang Yang temple, Krathum Baen District, Samut Sakhon Province.
