Thailand Extends Toll-Free Motorway Access Through September 29
The Department of Highways has extended the toll-free period for the M7, M9, and Don Mueang Tollway until midnight on September 29, 2026, to assist commuters affected by flooding.
The Thailand Government Public Relations Department announced that the Department of Highways is extending the toll-free service for several major routes to help motorists navigate around flood-affected areas. The toll-free access for the M7 (Bangkok–Chon Buri–Pattaya) motorway, the M9 (Kanchanaphisek) outer ring road, and the Don Mueang Tollway will now continue until midnight on September 29, 2026.
This measure is intended to provide commuters with more flexible travel options as they avoid roads impacted by current flooding conditions. By removing toll fees, authorities aim to reduce traffic congestion on alternative routes and facilitate smoother travel for those navigating the affected regions.
For residents and travellers, this extension offers a temporary financial relief and a practical way to bypass flooded zones. However, motorists are advised to remain cautious, as road conditions can change rapidly due to weather developments. While this extension is confirmed until the end of the day on September 29, travellers should monitor official updates from the Department of Highways for any further changes or potential extensions beyond this date. It is recommended to check real-time traffic reports before embarking on long-distance journeys in the affected areas.
