The station is on the eastern bank of the Tapi River in Tha Kham town, Phun Phin District.

[citation needed] It is also the station to alight for passengers traveling to Ko Samui.

In World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army used the station as a base for military activity.

The station and the Chulachomklao Bridge (then named Tha Kham) across the Tapi were both bombed in May 1945 by American aircraft.

The red bus connects the railway station with downtown Surat Thani City, leaving every 15 minutes.
