Bang Khun Non station (Thai: สถานีบางขุนนนท์), is an elevated railway station on MRT Blue Line, serving the Bangkok Metropolitan Region in Thailand. The station opened on 23 December 2019. The station is one of the nine stations of phase 3 of MRT Blue Line.
In the future, it will become an interchange station for the MRT Orange Line following the opening of the western extension in 2030.
The station is located southward of Bang Khun Nont Junction in the three areas of Bangkok Noi District: Bang Khun Non, Bang Khun Si and Ban Chang Lo above Charan Sanitwong Road, where Charan Sanitwong cuts across Sutthawat Roads and Southern Railway Line from nearby Thon Buri railway station, and it has a connection to the State Railway of Thailand Southern Railway Line at Charansanitwong Halt, although it is not classified as an interchange on MRT maps.
In addition, Bang Khun Non station has a unique feature: a viaduct crossing above the platforms and tracks. It was built to facilitate the procession of the Buddha's relics during the annual Chak Phra Festival in November, a long-standing local tradition in the Thonburi area. As the relics are sacred, they must not pass under any bridge or road. Remarkably, only Bang Khun Non and Bang Phai stations have this feature, making them architecturally and culturally distinct from all others.
