It is on the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) Southern Line, located 635.106 km from Thon Buri Railway Station. The station is on the east bank of Tapi River in Tha Kham town, Phun Phin District.

History
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 RSR (former name of the SRT) built a new station, called Surat Thani 2 Railway Station, on the north bank of the Tapi River opposite the old station.
Surat Thani 2 Railway Station was demolished after the Chulachomklao Bridge was opened for traffic in a ceremony on 16 February 1953, and the new Surat Thani Station building was finished in 1954.
