Aranyaprathet Railway Station opened in 8 November 1926 (1926-11-08) as part of the Eastern Line Kabin Buri–Aranyaprathet section.

First opened in 1955, this service has seen closures between 1961–1970 and 1974–2019 due to neglect and poor diplomatic relations, but is back in operation as of April 2019.

[1] Services between Aranyaprathet and Ban Khlong Luk Border were temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The currently disused 7km rail link crosses the border bridge immediately east of the Thai station.

The railway then crosses the national highway to the south side via a roundabout before entering the Cambodian station.
