The Expressway Authority of Thailand announced on Wednesday that tollway fees for Chaloem Maha Nakhon Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, and Udon Ratthaya Expressway will be waived Friday for Maha Bucha, a Buddhist holiday that would make Friday through Sunday a long weekend.

The fee exemption is intended to ease the flow of traffic for those going out of town for a vacation.

Needless to say, a booze ban will be applied during the holiday per law.
