wincen Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I just bought a new Wave I for 47,000 baht. Is it safe to park at the CM airport for about 4 days? Ive done it before with rentals. Its free and convenient for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Just make sure you lock it well and preferably chain it to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wincen Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Just make sure you lock it well and preferably chain it to something. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought a extra thick chain and hose combo. I think I will lock it to those moveable steel barriers they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the lines of a nice big lamp post or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile69 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Wasn't there a case at Chiang Rai airport last year, or the year before where someone did the same, & it was treated as a terrorist threat. Not sure why, cos if it were a bomb, it could have been left 5 minutes & boom.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wincen Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) All the bikes are at the end of the parking lot sectioned off for bikes. Same as in the shopping centers. There is a security booth within feet, oops meters. I think those sections are my only option. The security guard would see anything that went on but for all know thats who tells the thiefs were the good bikes are. Don't get me wrong. I've spent a total of about 1.5 years here and have never experienced theft first hand, but I've never owned a bike before and I hear they will just lift it into a truck a go. It's been my experience that the Thai people are very trust worthy. Edited December 15, 2005 by wincen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgettable_thai Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A friend of mine just flew out of ChiangMai a few days a go and called the Airport taxi service and they sent a car to his place to pick him up and take him to the airport for 150Bt. Maybe that is a better way to go then leaving your bike at the airport. What is 300 in taxi cost (there and back) when you know your bike is not left in a public place. Not sure, of the number for the taxi service but it might be in one of the travel magazines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 And, buses now pass the airport. Still, out of all places you could leave your bike, the airport is probably safest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up-country_sinclair Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A few months ago I was flying down to bangkok overnight, and considered leaving my wave in the CNX parking lot. I asked the security guard (in the booth) if it was safe, and she quickly said "no".....and who would know better than her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
