Lopburi 2 (Tha Wung) railway station is an elevated railway station located in Pho Talat Kaeo Subdistrict, Tha Wung district, Lopburi. It is located 141.757 km from Bangkok railway station and is a class 1 railway station. It is located on the Lopburi Bypass branch line of Northern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. The station opened on 5 December 2025 as part of the double-tracking project between Lopburi and Pak Nam Pho. The bypass route was constructed due to the inability for double-track construction as the mainline tracks run adjacent to Phra Prang Sam Yot to prevent damage to the historical site.[1][2]
It currently replaces Lopburi railway station as the main station for Lopburi city for rapid and express services between Bangkok and Chiang Mai.[3] A free bus service operated by SRT connects Lopburi station and Lopburi 2 station. It is the only elevated railway station in the province.[4]
