EXAT Waives Toll Fees on Eight Expressways Due to Flooding
The Expressway Authority of Thailand has suspended toll collections on eight routes to assist those affected by ongoing flooding, effective until late September 27, 2026.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), under the Ministry of Transport, has announced a temporary waiver of toll fees across eight expressway routes. This measure, initiated following directives from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, aims to alleviate the burden on citizens impacted by current flooding conditions.
The toll-free period commenced at 1:00 PM on September 26, 2026, and will remain in effect until midnight on September 27, 2026. For residents and travelers, this suspension is intended to facilitate easier movement and emergency logistics during the flood crisis.
While this policy provides immediate relief for commuters, those planning to travel through these areas should remain aware that traffic conditions may still be affected by water levels on connecting roads. It is advisable to monitor official updates from EXAT or local traffic authorities, as the situation remains fluid. At this time, there has been no official confirmation regarding potential extensions to this waiver beyond the specified deadline, nor have specific details been provided regarding which exact routes are included beyond the general announcement of eight lines. Travelers are encouraged to check real-time traffic reports before departing.
