Did they ever successfully implement a fee for this trail? If so, how tight is the security? The trail has a lot of access points such as the fire station and cafe, or the waterfall by the road. 
 

Has anyone here hiked it since October 1st?

Haven’t been out that way for a couple of months, though highly doubtful that they’ll change walking up the trail across the road from phangreb/wangbua waterfall. Walked in there many times and rarely see anyone walking in there. You can can access the area back behind jedyot, just turn right off of huaykaew just before the cop box up past srisoda.

Out of curiosity, how much was the proposed fee?

100bht foreigners.

how do u get in from the waterfall?

Well guys I'm here and it looks like there's just a small police checkpoint where they stop cars and bikes about 100m from the official trail entrance. Easy to avoid but still kind of lame.

Walk up the main road to the temple (the one bicyclists take).

what's the best way to avoid them if you are driving a motorbike up and want to hike the trail?
