Phuket airport scooter parking?

[Flying Clog]

Hello all,

Need to leave the scooter at the airport for 48 hours. Does anyone know what the bike parking situation is? Where is it? Likelihood of getting nicked? Damaged?

Thanks in advance...

When you enter the car park on the right hand side. They had to change it since they're building on the former park, it really looks very small now and I would prefer not to park my motorbike overnight there.

How about leaving it at a motorbike mechanic in the area for a small repair and pick it up 48 hours later?

Last time I fly out, some half on year ago, the parking place was separate from the car park area. This could have been changed already.

When coming form south, turn left about 300 meters before the entrance to the airport. Drive 200 meters to west and turn right towards the airport. The parking area is next to the airport.

I have left my scooter many times to there. For day trips as well as overnight. Only once I had a feeling that there was more gasoline on the tank when I parked it, compared to when I left the place.

My scooter have added security. It's old, dirty and looks like it's not cared well. Therefore it is not going to be the first choice for thieves when there are other scooters available.

Sorry, should be lefthand side.

Yes, it used to be good, but these days it is more or less part of the car park, really small, and I would not recommend it, the previous locations were much, much better.

Yes, that has changed, the motorbikepark is not at that location anymore.

Chances of leaving at airport for 3 weeks? Any local shops offer a long stay parking service ?

I left my scooter for 2.5 weeks in October no problems, just very dusty and looked like it had been moved several times

Likely your bike will be stuck behind several others when you return, and yes, a lot of helmet theft, even when locked, they cut the straps.
