Acts affecting the ecosystem, soil or vegetation — which includes cutting trail: up to 5 years' imprisonment, a fine up to ฿500,000, or both (s.100). Failing to obey an official's order once inside: a fine up to ฿100,000 (s.97). Your bike can be confiscated under s.109 whether or not you own it and whether or not anyone is convicted.

About this route
An absolutely spectacular ride from a small border outpost through a muddy and hilly track to the border community of Lee Tong Ku, home to a community of Karens who still hold pre-Christian and pre-Buddhist beliefs.
Trail conditions change — always confirm locally before riding, and never ride alone.
