Complimentary roadway passage on August 12 to commemorate Mother's Day
Toll-Free Expressways in Greater Bangkok on Mother's Day, August 12
The Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) has announced that all toll fees on expressways in Greater Bangkok will be waived on Mother's Day, August 12, 2022. This toll-free period extends from 12.01am to midnight.
The decision is part of the efforts to celebrate National Mother's Day and honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother. The amended concession agreements between EXAT, Bangkok Expressway and Metro Plc, and Northern Bangkok Expressway Co Ltd, are the basis for this policy.
On August 12, a total of 21 toll booths on the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, 32 toll booths on the Si Rat Expressway, and 10 toll booths on the Udon Ratthaya Expressway will be toll-free. These expressways, along with the Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) routes, are typically managed by EXAT, and toll fees are temporarily suspended on these main expressways during significant national holidays.
The toll-free measure also aims to alleviate traffic congestion at toll collection points. While the exact toll-free expressways list from August 12, 2022, was not explicitly found in the search data, the general policy of EXAT is to waive tolls on all their expressways within the Greater Bangkok area on that specific Mother's Day and other major holidays.
If you need the precise list for confirmation, EXAT official sources or Thailand’s Department of Highways prior press releases from that period would give comprehensive details. The Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, and Udon Ratthaya Expressway remain the three expressway routes in Greater Bangkok with toll-free toll booths on August 12.
The toll fee waiver on August 12 is not an advertisement but an initiative by the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT). It is a gesture to reduce travel costs for the public and contribute to a more convenient travel experience during the national holiday.
Finance and transportation sectors will experience a significant shift on August 12, as the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) waives toll fees on various public-transit routes, including the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, and Udon Ratthaya Expressway. This decision in the industry, part of celebrating National Mother's Day, aims to alleviate financial burden and improve transportation convenience for the public.
