BANGKOK, Aug 22 (TNA) – Motorists can use some tollways free of charge during the long holiday from Sept 4 to 7.
Suksomruay Wantaneekul, secretary to Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob, said the free service was set from Sept 4 to 7 that would be holidays in lieu of the previously cancelled Songkran holiday.
The free service will be on Highway 7 (Bangkok-Pattaya inter-city motorway) and Highway 9 also known as Kanchananaphisek Road on its sections from Phra Pradaeng to Bang Khunthian and from Bang Pa-in to Bangphli.
