    Tips

    February 26, 2024

    I've read and been told that it is forbidden to cycle this, but I cycled it without any problems. After exiting Thai immigration I wheeled my bike past the people selling bus tickets, they called out "Hey mister!" etc. perhaps they were going to tell me I had to buy a bus ticket, but I just ignored them. Nobody stops you from cycling across or anything. There's a Thai border fellow in a booth about 100m past the bus round, he smiled at me and beckoned me through. So perhaps we can say that unofficially the officials treat it as permitted and non-officials claim it is officially forbidden.

      officially it's illegal to cross by bicycle, a bit persistence helps to avoid the bus ride across

        When I got my passport stamped, I asked the Thai police officer if I could cross the bridge by bicycle. He said yes. He even came out of his office to show me where to go. Don't be fooled by the bus company. Ask the police, and once they give you permission, you can safely ignore the bus.
