Kheha (Thai: สถานีเคหะฯ, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː kʰēː.hàʔ]) is a BTS Skytrain station, on the Sukhumvit Line in Samut Prakan, Thailand.

Kheha is the eastern terminus of the Sukhumvit Line. It opened on 6 December 2018 as part of the 13-km eastern extension. Rides on the extension were free until 16 April 2019. A further extension to Bang Pu is planned.

History

In official proposals, the station was initially named Kheha Samut Prakan station due to its location next to Samut Prakan National Housing Project (Kan Kheha Samut Prakan). It was also suggested to name the station Kan Kheha Haeng Chat, meaning National Housing Project. This was deemed confusing as there were a number of other national housing projects scattered around the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. In the end, the Royal Society of Thailand requested to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand that the name be shortened to Kheha for ease of use.
