Most of the toll roads in Thailand are either within Greater Bangkok or originated from Bangkok. They are called expressways, tollways, and motorways. Two government agencies under the Ministry of Transport, namely the Expressway and Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (ETA) and the Department of Highways (DoH), own networks of toll roads. Some are operated by the agencies themselves; others are operated by private concessionaires. ETA is in charge of Chaloem Mahanakhon Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, Chalong Rat Expressway, Udon Ratthaya Expressway, and Burapha Withi Expressway. DoH is in charge of Uttraphimuk Tollway (formerly Don Mueang Tollway), Motorway (Bangkok-Chonburi), and Motorway (Eastern Outer Ring Road). Both agencies have plans to build more toll roads in the future, expanding their networks to the provinces. Electronic Toll Collection using active RFID tags is used in Chaloem Mahanakhon and Chalong Rat expressways, while Burapha Withi Expressway employs passive IC-card-based Touch-and-Go system.
