MidoriApple Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 My husband is coming to Bangkok for 4 days and will want to ride his motorcycle from home to the Krabi airport. We are wondering if it is possible to park the vehicle there at the airport for many days. It is usually free parking, I don't ask for the fee cost, but how safe it is? Too risky to lose? Anyone has ever? Thank you for the comment in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyanika Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Parked there many times for days without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samaaw Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Longest I have parked in the undercover paid parking is 37 days - pay per day at THB 250/day I never had a problem... I believe there is free parking but not covered, I think (but open to correction) the shuttle bus from the free parking area has been stopped... so not sure if you might have to walk to the terminal.

Agree with Samaaw 100%, the process is simple and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newermonkey Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I was able to park my car very close the the access bridge into the airport, left it there for 15 days came back from UK... only problem was the battery was flat and it was filthy.

johntren Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Earlier this year, we parked the car for ten days in the open-air car park at Udon Thani airport, which is free; no problems on return except for a residue of dirt from all the jet engine activity and would do it again without hesitation.

MidoriApple Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I would agree for free-parking safely if it is a car, seems Krabi is one of the most safest province in Thailand (at least for me, to BKK in comparison) How about parking the scooter/ motorcycle? Some of you above ever? As discussion with hubby this morning, he decides to take taxi from Klong Muang to AP, but I am sure he is still searching for the right answer can or cannot do. Will see... Thank you once again for all comments/ cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time try unhooking the earth cabe, I generally unhjool both cables when I am leaving the car for three months or so. Workd really well in my car. All ready to go when I come back.

Only problem with disconnecting battery terminal,is that it also disconnects any alarm. I've also left my car for three weeks and no problems whatsoever.

Beetlejuice Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Today for obvious reasons, airport security worldwide is very high. What could happen is that if security or the police see a vehicle, such as a motorbike, parked at the airport for several days, even just overnight, they may, for security reasons, have the vehicle taken away. I have no idea where they would take it or how much it would cost to retrieve the motorbike back again? could be anything. So if your husband decides to leave his motorbike parked at the said airport for more than 24 hours, then he does so at his own risk and discretion. Personally, I would not take the chance, but that`s up to him. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told I don't need to unhook the earth. Cars differ in this and some can be left longer than others, check with your mechanic or manufacturer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 At Phuket airport I have parked 4-5 times for two weeks in the motorcycle parking area. No trouble or issue. I park with a full tank of gas and it is a newer bike so no trouble with the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Paul Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have parked my bike (big motorbike not scooter) and my car at Krabi airport for up to 2 weeks at a time, without any problem. Access to terminal 2 parking is more difficult after the road collapse and you now have to pass a policeman guiding? the traffic there - so may be safer at 2. As you may know, there is no covered parking and no fee at Krabi airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
