Name

A rather official source has Tao Pun: mrta. −Woodstone (talk) 16:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

It's quite common that romanisations used by Thai organisations vary wildly without adhering to a single system, even in official documents. In this case, since the actual station sign is spelled Tao Poon,[3] I think it's reasonable to believe that this will be what the most common usage will be. (Personally, I hate the fact that they can't properly stick to RTGS, but it's not ours to enforce the system.) --Paul_012 (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

It's really a pity, because so far they did a good job with almost all BTS/MRT/ARL stations following RTGS. The only exceptions so far were Sayam, Sukhumwit, Suwannaphum, Baering (and the translated ones, like National Stadium). −Woodstone (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Although the station spells Tao Poon, the intersection under it is spelled Tao Pun by the city, see Tao Pun road sign. −Woodstone (talk) 09:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
