Chey Chettha was the second son of Satha I. He was appointed the heir apparent when he was eleven. He was crowned by his father in 1584.[1]

In 1594, Cambodia was attacked by Siam. After the Siamese army reached Lovek, Chey Chettha assumed his uncle Soryopor the direct command of the defenses.[2]

Chey Chetta fled the capital together with his father Satha, first to Srey Santhor, then to Stung Treng. He died there in 1595 without heir.
