    Riding here needs written permission from DNP in advance. Without it, entry alone is an offence. Entering a wildlife sanctuary at all is a criminal offence without written permission from the authorities. There is no public right of access and no ticket you can buy at a gate. Entering without permission: up to 3 months' imprisonment, a fine up to ฿30,000, or both (s.96). 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.

    Remain on the road, dirt or otherwise. Section 27 applies the same rules here as in a national park. A forest park is usually unstaffed and ungated, which misleads riders into thinking it is open land. Legally it is not: s.27 applies the whole national-park prohibition list to forest parks, botanic gardens and arboreta, with identical penalties. Acts affecting the ecosystem — the clause that covers cutting or rutting trail: up to 5 years' imprisonment, a fine up to ฿500,000, or both (s.42). Blocking or obstructing a way, or entering to carry on an activity for profit: up to 2 years' imprisonment, a fine up to ฿200,000, or both (s.44). Failing to comply with an official's order: a fine up to ฿100,000 (s.47). Your bike can be confiscated under s.56 whether or not you own it and whether or not anyone is convicted.
