Thailand Extends Toll-Free Highway Access Through September 29
The Thai government has extended toll-free travel on eight expressways and major motorways until midnight on September 29 to assist commuters during ongoing flood conditions.
According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, the government has officially extended the toll-free period for several major transport routes. This measure, announced by Siriphong Angkasakulkiat, aims to facilitate travel and reduce the financial burden on the public during the current flood crisis.
The toll-free access applies to eight expressways, as well as the M7 and M9 motorways and the Don Mueang Tollway. These routes will remain free of charge until midnight on September 29, 2026.
For residents and travelers, this extension is intended to ease congestion and provide relief for those navigating areas affected by flooding. By removing toll fees, the government hopes to streamline traffic flow and assist those who may be facing travel disruptions due to the weather.
While this initiative provides immediate relief, travelers should remain aware that road conditions can change rapidly due to the ongoing flood situation. It is recommended to monitor official government announcements for any further updates or potential extensions beyond the September 29 deadline. Travelers are advised to check local traffic reports before embarking on long journeys, as some sections of the road network may still be impacted by water levels or emergency maintenance.
