Free Expressway Travel in Bangkok for Chulalongkorn Day
The Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) has announced toll-free travel on three major expressways for the upcoming Chulalongkorn Day holiday.
On October 23, 2026, the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), under the Ministry of Transport, will waive toll fees for three specific expressway routes in observance of Chulalongkorn Day (King Chulalongkorn Memorial Day).
According to Prachachat Business, the toll exemption applies to the following routes:
- Chalerm Mahanakhon Expressway (Din Daeng-Bang Na-Dao Khanong), covering 21 toll plazas.
- Si Rat Expressway (Chaeng Watthana-Bang Khlo).
- Udon Ratthaya Expressway (Bang Pa-in-Pak Kret).
This initiative is intended to facilitate travel for the public during the public holiday. For residents and travelers in Bangkok, this measure offers a cost-saving opportunity for those planning to commute or travel within the city on this date.
While the toll waiver is confirmed for these three specific routes, motorists should remain aware that other expressways not mentioned in the announcement will continue to operate under standard toll collection procedures. Travelers are advised to plan their routes accordingly and check for any potential traffic congestion that may arise due to the holiday travel. As of now, no further extensions to this toll-free period have been announced beyond the single day of October 23, 2026.
