Express Authority of Thailand on Tuesday suspended services at the Bang Pain and Chiang Rak tollgates in Pathum Thani after major flooding hit the province.
Ayyanat Tinapai, EXAT’s deputy governor, said the services would be suspended for the inbound and outbound routes of Bang Pain and outbound of Chiang Rak, effective immediately and continuing until the situation returns to normal.
The decision came after about a stretch of seven kilometres of the expressway in the province, which are under construction, was submerged under water about 80 centimetres deep.
Pathum Thani is one of many provinces hard hit by the inundation.
