Pretty obvious he's talking about the big Tescos on Sukhumvit near Thepprasit.

You will probably need a driver license. Which you should have anyway. If driving motorcycle a helmet would also be a good idea. Same as always! ????

The checkpoints are on the Southbound lanes so you shouldn't have a problem as you will be driving/riding in the Northbound lanes to get to Klang.

As well, you don't need paperwork to leave the area, just to get into it. Once you are "inside" the lockdown area you should be fine.

Wear your red armband comrade!

Did the OP drive down there today ?

Asking for a friend, because I've been told that the checkpoints weren't being operated today for some reason (and there's a rumour they may be coming down in fact). Although the government has announced that the State of Emergency will be extended for another month, while hinting that some restrictions "may" be eased.
