  • Use the free 15-minute kiss-and-drop zone for quick pick-ups.
  • The hourly scale runs ฿20, ฿40, ฿70, ฿100, ฿130 then ฿180 for one to six hours.

Do you actually need to park?

Most travellers reach Don Mueang by train, bus or taxi rather than driving, so parking mainly matters for residents and those dropping off friends. If you are collecting an arriving passenger, the free 15-minute zone usually covers it; for a longer wait, the hourly scale is inexpensive.

If you are flying in and want a car for your stay, skip parking questions altogether: a taxi or transfer handles the arrival, or pick up a rental car in Terminal 2 and hand it back on departure.
