Khlong Toei MRT station (Thai: สถานีคลองเตย, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː kʰlɔ̄ːŋ tɤ̄ːj]; code BL24) is a Bangkok MRT station on the Blue Line. Located under Rama IV Road, near Metropolitan Electricity Authority Headquarters and Chaloem Maha Nakhon Expressway in Khlong Toei District, Bangkok, Thailand.
Construction of the MRT began at this station nine months after the foundation stone was laid by King Maha Vajiralongkorn (while he was the crown prince) on November 19, 1996 at Hua Lamphong station.
Before opened, station was named Bon Kai (Thai: บ่อนไก่) as it is located near Bon Kai neighborhood, but the name got changed to Khlong Toei on October 9, 2002. Although its name is Khlong Toei, Khlong Toei Market is nearer to Queen Sirikit National Convention Center station.
