Long term parking at Suvanabhumi

[Blake7]

Does anyone know how much long term parking is at Suvarnibhum? Their website quotes 50 baht per hour but no info about daily or weekly charges.
Whilst I would normally take a taxi there is an 11am flight to beijing which I am taking and fancy a game of golf before hand. I could get an early start, shower at the club and get to the airport by 10am. I could then leave my clubs in the car.

Don't bother with long term parking, it's remote and the buses are shit. Park at the parking garage at the airport, and the prices are not bad. Go to TV to see the prices, I forgot already, but did it several times. A few days is only like 800 Baht.

Why can't the driver take the car home?

^ dont have a driver im afraid. Butterfly now has one - unfortunately the driver cannot speak English nor drive.
In fact if Butterfly wasnt such a lazy Frenchman he could join me for golf and then drop me at the airport afterwards. Unfortunately he never gets up before 11.

I coud lend you my driver for the airport, depending on my schedule

BTS Parking Lot is 50 THB per day,

The old airport parking fee was 250 THB per day, which is ok for 2 or 3 days, but anything more and the deluxe limo from TOT is a better alternative,

It is 150THB a day and it is miles away on the bus, which is a staff bus for the airport. There is no bus specifically for passengers between LTP and the terminal. Aside from being difficult to negotiate the bus if you have luggage, it is jam-packed with staff moving around the airport grounds.
My other gripes are that LTP is not covered, the staff that man the booths never have change and have to scoot off to get some and when the bus drops you off at the transport terminus next to LTP you have to negotiate a sometimes busy 8 lane highway, a series of drainage ditches and grassy verges just to get back to your car. There are no overpasses or pedestrian crossings.
If you get the bus from the terminal building don't be surprised if you are thinking "Am I on the right bus?" as it takes such a convoluted route around the airport complex.

Short term parking is covered, directly opposite the terminal building and 250THB a day.

dead easy.

^You can make it even easier by planning which entrance to park near as well, depending on your airline location. I normally fly Thai, so I park near the Thai entrance.

[EmperorTud]

^yup, once you have familiarised yourself with where everything is it becomes even easier.

I'm usually never out of the country for longer than a few days at a time anyway, if I am planning to go home or to Aus for a few weeks I'll leave the car at home and use a taxi which costs me 100THB + tolls.

[bruceveld]

I use the LTP all the time, but for an extra $100 per day it IS worth it to just park in STP. I have no problem with the busses--and now they ahve new luggage friendly busses as well. I never have much anyway.

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Now it all makes sense.
