The station opened in July 1989 as part of the Eastern LineChachoengsao Junction–Sattahip Port section. In the past, freight trains continued further down the line to Sattahip's Chuk Samet Port, but operations ceased in the early 2000s. Between then and 10 November 2023, Ban Phlu Ta Luang was the terminus of the passenger service from Bangkok, when Chuk Samet railway station reopened.[1][2]
