How can a cyclist use Wing 41 road?

[ByblosYuNaiSoi]

A cycling friend just told me he was turned away by police, and not allowed access to Wing 41 road near the airport. I recently moved to west of Canal near Suthep road, and really need to use that road to go to Central Airport, old Immigration, Hang Dong area, etc.

What's the latest on access, and how can one go about getting it for use as a cyclist? Thanks.

It is a restricted Military area. No cyclists or Alien pedestrians allowed (Yes I have tried).

For cycling , maybe if you lived on base. If you purchase a motorcar you can apply for an access sticker during the allotment period.

What do you mean by "on base?" I really would like an alternate route to Airport Plaza which avoids the moat road madness. Any suggestions?

Like perhaps the rare situation where a Farang was married in a Colonel in the Royal Thai Air Force and lived in the military housing in the area.

Otherwise there is no chance of cycling there.

Keep trying ByBlos, each day of the week and maybe you will learn more. Suggest always use the helmet. I was on my bicycle and had to go back. The chap with the gun...i obeyed.

It would be nice, but Red will still take you from the highest 7-11 on Suthep to AP for 30 THB, and even 20 if they are going there anyway.
