Route 4012 (4012) is a short route between Ban Tha Pae and Nakhon Si Thammarat town. Its length is about 8 km.
Route 4012 starts at Ban Tha Pae, at exactly the point where Route 401 ends. It runs south to Nakhon Si Thammarat town. It is four-lane asphalt, two in each direction separated by a median.
Originally, the route passed through Fort Vachirawut. This caused inconvenience because at night only vehicles with permission cards could use the route. Vehicles without permission used routes 4016 and 4013 to avoid Fort Vachirawut.
A new 4012 roadway was constructed about 1 km east of Fort Vachirawut. The newer route allows 24-hour access by all vehicles. The new route is usually known to locals as Thanon Om Kai (Fort-devious Road).
