I came past today and there where two Military police on the road outside and seemed to have a que of folk lining up for their paperwork.

Normally its first Monday in November but seems to have kicked off early this year.

Yes, open early for applications this year.  Opened Monday (17th).

I submitted the form Oct 18, pick-up date Jan 16.

Placed my paperwork in this morning.

B20 for my two passes, one car one M/cycle.

Once again paper in Thai only, remember when one side in Thai the other in English. Nice young Thai girl helped me fill in.

Then off to the policeman who checked details and entered the Thai letters for my registration numbers.

Copies of personal license for M/cycle and Car also Page 4 from registration book required. No copy of ID or Passport needed.

Then to front desk pay B100 per pass and can collect from 16 Jan 2023.

Applied for mine today. Took all of 10 minutes, that long only because I had to fill out two application forms. Very speedy these days!

[Thailand]

5 minutes in and out yesterday but did notice collection is between 16th and 20th January. Very short window compared to what it was in the past?

[jonwilly]

Can I cycle along Wing 41 road without a pass or would I get turned back?

I tried once - they wouldn't let me through. Discrimination..... didn't know I could get a pass though but my bicylce has NO registration number

Bicycles are not allowed never have been.

Maybe if you marry a RTAF officer and live on base?

Why discrimination? As much as I respect and even applaude your slightly suicidal wish to move around Chiang Mai on a bycicle, that is not a public road, and I can think of one or two good reasons why bycicles are not allowed.

It would be a great short-cut to the airport from the Doi Suthep road to the Airport and then the 108.

 

Which is why people use it.

Most countries are very sensitive about people being near or on their Military facilities. Very simple to monitor car traffic on that road . Pedestrians and bicyclist who could easily hide or stash their bikes not so much  I'd say we are lucky the road is open to permitted vehicles at all.
