History

Originally, Nong Khai Railway Station opened at the location of the present day Na Tha Railway Station as part of the Northeastern Line Udon Thani-Na Tha section in September 1955. In July 1958, the line extended to near the Mekong River and the terminus station there was then the Nong Khai Station, and the old was renamed Na Tha. The station by the river acted as "Nong Khai" station for about 42 years, until the newer and present-day Nong Khai station opened in May 2000. At this time, the station by the river was renamed "Talat Nong Khai", with local services still terminating there. In March 2009, the Northeastern Line extended to Thanaleng Railway Station in Laos across the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, and international services between the present-day Nong Khai station and Thanaleng began. In 2011, railway operations to Talat Nong Khai were discontinued, and all trains terminated at the current Nong Khai Railway Station.
