Trial operation began in March 2017, and the station was officially opened by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on 3 April 2017,[1] with passengers able to ride the extension for free for a month beginning on 4 April 2017.[2] It was the eastern terminus of the line, until the opening of the other stations of the Sukhumvit Line Extension (East) on 6 December 2018. In the future it will connect to the MRT Yellow Line.[3] It is one of only four BTS stations to have island platforms, with the other being Siam, Ha Yaek Lat Phrao and Wat Phra Sri Mahathat station. Some trains terminate here during peak hours.
