Rimmer Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Chonburi-Pattaya toll booths now open, free until April 19 Pattaya:--Five new Pattaya-area toll booths have opened on Highway 7, but will remain free until April 19. Apichart Chansrap, deputy director of the Highways Department, said the opening of the booths marks the completion of the Chonburi end of the Bangkok-Chonburi Expressway. The five new toll booths are located in Ban Bung, Bangpra, Nongkham, Pong, and Pattaya. Rates will be one baht per kilometer driven, with the cost from Pattaya to Chonburi remaining 60 baht until April 18, when the toll will jump to 105 baht for cars, 170 baht for six-wheeled vehicles and 245 baht for 10-wheel trucks. Chonburi residents accustomed to using Highway 7 locally for free pleaded for an exemption or some sort of accommodation. However, the Highways Department said such motorists should use access roads that run parallel to the motorway instead.

mikebell Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 So what will the cost be in total from BKK to Pattaya? Will this deter weekenders? How about a surcharge of one baht per Chinese as these non-spenders are driving away Europeans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 new toll booths will remain FREE until April 19, but the cost from Pattaya to Chonburi ( which has always been free ), remains 60 Baht until April 18.

The old toll gates near Chonburi are not shown so I guess they will demolish them. The toll from Pattaya to the Chonburi H7 gates looks like it will be free until gates are removed.

Article is wrong, from Bangkok to Pattaya is 60 baht, pay at Pattaya's gate same 60 as before where you pay at the Chonburi Gate until April The old booths at Chonburi (Pan Thong) are being dismantled now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
