The Thai government will open the M6 motorway between Bang Pa-in and Nakhon Ratchasima for free travel during the 2026 New Year holiday, offering motorists a 196 kilometer toll-free route aimed at easing congestion and improving safety for holiday travelers.
The Bang Pa-in to Pak Chong section will operate as a one-way route for the first seven days, from December 26 at 12:01 a.m. until January 1 at midnight, serving outbound traffic from Bangkok. Inbound traffic toward Bangkok will be allowed from January 2 at 6 a.m. until January 5 at midnight. The route will close briefly on January 2 between 12:01 a.m. and 6 a.m. to switch traffic direction.
The Pak Chong to Nakhon Ratchasima section will remain open for two-way traffic throughout the period.

I had posted this in the motor forum.

It affects traffic to/from northeast (Isan).

Good news in the end.

Just wait and avoid to travel over the New Year period. Usually one big traffic jam.
