The measure was approved in response to flooding in Bangkok and surrounding areas, with the aim of easing the impact on residents and facilitating travel during the disruption.
At the same time, the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), under the Ministry of Transport, has extended a waiver of expressway tolls as heavy rain and flooding continue to affect travel in several areas.
The toll suspension, originally scheduled from 1pm on Sept 26 until midnight on Sept 27, will be in effect until midnight on Sept 29.
