Suan Son Pradiphat railway station is a railway station located in Nong Kae Subdistrict, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan. It is located 221.03 km (137.3 mi) from Thon Buri Railway Station and serves Suan Son Pradiphat Beach with the nearby Rajabhakti Park. It initially opened as a railway halt. Suan Son Pradiphat became a staffed station on December, 11 2023, which began operation when the double tracking of the line section was completed.

Nearby is Thailand's first automatic level crossing, which opened for use on August 7, 2010, by then prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. An excursion train terminating here, runs from Bangkok every weekend.
