Pu Chao station (Thai: สถานีปู่เจ้า) is a BTS Skytrain station, on the Sukhumvit Line in Samut Prakan Province, Thailand.

It opened on 6 December 2018[1] as part of the 13 km eastern extension.[2] Rides on the extension were free until April 16, 2019.[3][4]

History

In official proposals, the station was initially named Pu Chao Saming Phrai station due to its location near Pu Chao Saming Phrai Road. The Royal Society of Thailand requested to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand that the name be shortened to Pu Chao for ease of use.[5]
