History

The Phnom Penh-Poipet railway linking to Thailand and the station was built in 1942. However five years later, it was removed after the World War II ends and it was rebuilt in 1953, upon Cambodia's request and opened it on 22 April 1955, though it was closed again in 1961 due to strained Cambodia–Thailand relations. The cross-border link between Aranyaprathet and Poipet was reopened in April 2019, and temporarily suspended between 2020-21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
