Toll-Free Expressway Travel Announced for Chulalongkorn Day Holiday
The Thai government has waived toll fees on three expressways for the Chulalongkorn Day holiday, while warning of upcoming traffic diversions.
According to a report by Thai Post, the Thai government has announced a toll-free period for three specific expressways to support travel and reduce financial burdens for the public during the Chulalongkorn Day holiday. This initiative covers a total of 63 toll booths across the designated routes.
For residents and travelers, this measure is intended to facilitate smoother movement during the public holiday period. However, motorists should remain vigilant regarding infrastructure maintenance. The report highlights that traffic diversions will be in effect on the Chalong Rat Expressway near the Chatuchot inbound toll plaza. These diversions are scheduled to take place between October 24 and October 25, 2026.
While the toll waiver provides a benefit for those planning trips, travelers are advised to plan their routes in advance to account for the potential congestion caused by the construction work at the Chatuchot area. As of now, specific details regarding the exact hours of the toll-free period and the full list of affected routes should be verified through official announcements from the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) to ensure accuracy before departure. Motorists are encouraged to follow local traffic signage and official updates to avoid delays during their holiday travel.
