IMHO, this flying place is not suitable anymore due to the following reasons:
1. The road leading in is not blocked.. so u will not be able to drive in... park outside and walk about 200 meters in.
2. Flooded at area around the "runway". So if u land in water.. provided u got skis.. otherwise ESC will fry!
3. Surrounded by Jungle.. unless ur name is Tarzan, recovering a lost plane in the jungle is no easy task.
4. Proximity to other flying area. Just outside the bicycle park, there could be another group of flyers.. so Interference is possible probably safer for 2.4GHz.

Has anyone flew there recently and find that it is otherwise?

TBP is a nice place to fly ... i like it , secluded all the way inside . Very peaceful but its a hassle if you carry quite a number of things
