Official airport car parks

Suvarnabhumi Airport is operated by Airports of Thailand (AoT), which runs the multi-storey car parks beside the terminal and the long-term lots at the Public Transport Center, linked by a free shuttle. The short-term garages are closest but pricier; the long-term lots are the value choice for longer trips. Tariffs are indicative and may change.

  • Use the free 15-minute kiss-and-drop lanes for quick pick-ups.
  • Take the free shuttle to the ฿140/day long-term lot for multi-day stays.

Do you actually need to park?

Most travellers reach Suvarnabhumi Airport by rail or taxi rather than driving, so parking mainly matters for residents and those dropping off passengers. For a quick pick-up the free 15-minute zone usually covers it; for a longer wait, the short-term garage is inexpensive by the hour.

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