Found this on the Swampy website--I may have to use it next time I get an emergency call to fly out to some offshore shlthole

are there any updates on long term parking? I plan to leave from BKK in October for about 10 days.

which parking lot is best in the diagram?

I saw several posts about parking at hotels. is that better (more secure?) or is parking at BKK fine?

thanks

Is security your issue or cost your issue ?

Security is neutral in my view, arguably slightly better at the airport.

You will struggle to find a NEARBY hotel offering 10 day parking. For 10 days I would pay 2,500 Baht and use the multi-storey car park. I just paid 7,750 Baht for a 30 day trip to the UK.

The short term parking is already dirt cheap, like 6 euros for 24 hours, don't bother with the long term car park which is a very remote dump .

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...

When i saw the price of long term, i decided that 12 days would be too much charge for the privilage of that long term parking far away from everything, and not that convincing security anyway...it was a rental car, on 2 months rent...

we drove past, turned back to the city...

find a normal parking place on a major road, almost next to a 7/11, well lit and busy enough area.

parked there, took the taxi back to airport for about 90thb...

all was in order, no problems at all.

of course it is good to pay attention if there is any sign prohibiting parking, else i dont see what the problem would be...

what couldnt happen in the long term too.

result: saved couple 1000s.

I think most people would feel that just leaving your car parked by the side of the road for an extended period would not be safe. Eventually the police would treat it as abandoned and tow it away.
