It is a station under construction on the Silom Line between Chong Nonsi and Surasak, and is planned to open on 8 February 2021.

In 2018, it was decided to finally build the missing Suksa Witthaya (S4) station, the EIA was finalised in March 2019.[2] Construction of the station began in August 2019 and by the end of 2019 had reached 25% progress.[3] By August 2020, construction had reached 50% but was 30% behind schedule due to COVID related delays.[4] In January 2021, many have rumoured that the station would be renamed from Suksa Witthaya to Saint Louis due to its more popularity.
