UKJASE Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 We fly to uk on monday, and need somewhere to park the car for a few weeks whilst we are gone how much is parking at the airport, and are there any cheap alternatives, or even places to park for free where the car will be safe nearby, and we can hail a taxi to the airport?

soi41 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You of all persons should know better, than to start threads about, where to park your car Now we are just waiting for the insults from BC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi41 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 On a more serious note. Longterm parking at Svampy is 250 baht/day in a noncovered area, so your car will be subjected to all weather extremes. If you are gone for a couple of weeks, (3500 parking+petrol) it makes more sense to get a taxi from HH @1800 baht and get the same driver pick you up when returning. Moneywise it makes sense and a lot less hustle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob7 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 How about to find high ground first and look at the price as second? I got told, a bit ago, they want 140 Baht/day. And that looks like the information on this website. http://www.airwise.com/airports/asia/bangkok/parking_info.html To make sure, why not call the Airport?

UKJASE Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 i am thinking of going back to our old condo and paying the security guard 500B if he will let us park there for a few weeks..... but i am not sure how he will react to our request, though we did give him a good tip when we left the building last year my mate lives in a half empty building with loads of space, but he is away at the moment parking a car can be a tricky game sometimes (unless you dont mind paying top dollar for it.... i know around the UK airports its about 300B a day or more now probably) PS dont mention this thread to BC soi41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJASE Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Anyone else parked near to Swampy without having to pay big bucks for the privelege?? our car is a trusty old girl, but the cost of leaving her at swampy for 6 weeks in the official parking area would probably exceed the value of the car...

I have only parked at the old airport before... if you just drive to the new BKK, then are the LONG term at 140 baht p/d parking signs obvious from the road?

naboo Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Are there any nearby hotels that allow you to park for free if you were to stay a night before you leave and a night on your return? I did this in the UK when visiting Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack01 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I checked out the Longterm parking and its uncovered with a few cars only and very open. Easy to steal a car and drive over the curbs. So mines in the normal Short Stay Carpark 1-4. Anyone know how long you can leave a car there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mines in the normal Short Stay Carpark 1-4. Anyone know how long you can leave a car there? As long as you want... as long as you have the cash to pay when you leave. I planned on leaving mine their for a 12-day UK trip that suddenly turned into a 6 week tour of Patagonia! I sent my spare keys and the parking card to my buddy in Thailand so he could get it out for me before it broke the bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karandy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Does anybody know if there is a standard lost ticket fee for long term parking?if so would it be worth losing your ticket on a long stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Does anybody know if there is a standard lost ticket fee for long term parking?if so would it be worth losing your ticket on a long stay? Doubt it as they record the registration number on entry so they will know how long its been there. And then you have the hassle to prove that the car is in fact yours.

mrtoad Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Has anybody here used the long term parking, I am intending on leaving my car at the airport for 5 days, but want to know if the parking is ok. 250 baht a day isn't a bad price. I think I paid around 60 quid for three days at Exeter airport a couple of weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's where I parked it for 250 a day, seemed a fair price, and close to the terminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picking up on parking at hotels near Swampy - does anyone have any recent experience. I am off to the UK for 30 days. I have previously stayed, and parked for 100 Baht per day, at the Thong Ta but since they built a new blockof rooms they do not allow long-term parking. Anyone have knowledge of other hotels offering this service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryBScot Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 There is parking at Makhasan, the train terminal in Bangkok; I don't know what fees/restrictions apply there, maybe worth checking out. But anything over a few days I reckon you are best getting a taxi, there and back; I mean 30 days @ 250 a day, will cost you 7,500 THB - ouch! OK I guess it is a bargain when you can pay £50-£60 to park for 24 hours in Heathrow T1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay overnight at the start and finish of my trip and only 3,000 Baht for the month. The important thing for me is that, with the missus and 3 suitcases, we can relax the night before/after and get to/from Bangkok in our own vehicle - rather than getting public transport/taxis to/from Buriram.

I never mentioned security - not sure where you dreamt that? Long term parking at a hotel is simply more convenient for me - and more cost effective.

NewlyMintedThai Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yeah, at the airport. Either at the terminal or in the long-term lot. No issues of which I'm aware. Sorry for not quoting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
