History

The station was initially named KM.25 Station as it was located on the 25th kilometre of Phahonyothin Road and there were no major landmarks to name the station. It was renamed to Yaek Kor Por Aor Station after an intersection with the same name of a new road built by the MRTA linking Phahonyothin Road and Lam Lukka Road. "Kor Por Aor" in Thai stands for the Directorate of Air Operations Control of the Royal Thai Air Force which is located nearby.
