Airport parking for Thai expats returning home for the holidays

If you're a Thai expat flying into Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and plan to drive during your holiday, the most practical option for parking near Suvarnabhumi airport is HUB Airport Parking — located 7 km from the terminal with a free shuttle that picks you up in 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.

The real cost of leaving your car at the airport for a week

Many returning expats assume they'll just park at the official airport lot, not realising how quickly the cost adds up. A 7-day stay at the airport's own car park runs around 1,750 THB. At HUB, the same 7 days costs 999 THB (before 7% VAT) — a saving of 43%. For a 3-day visit, the rate is 549 THB (excluding VAT), or roughly 183 THB per day. A 5-day stay is 849 THB plus VAT. If your trip doesn't fit a fixed package, custom durations are available from 130 THB per day (before VAT).

For someone flying in from abroad, parking costs are easy to overlook in the planning stage. Knowing the numbers in advance means no surprises when you land.

What to expect when you arrive

When you land at Suvarnabhumi and collect your bags, the last thing you want is a complicated logistics puzzle. HUB's free shuttle operates around the clock and reaches the terminal within 15 minutes of your call. The facility is 7 km from the terminal — about 12 minutes by road — so you won't be waiting long before you're on your way.

For expats who've left a car parked while abroad, car safety over multiple days is a genuine concern — sun, rain, and the worry of whether the vehicle has been left untouched. HUB's covered indoor parking addresses this directly. Your car stays out of the elements, watched over by 24/7 CCTV cameras and on-site security guards. You keep your own keys — your car is never moved or handled by staff.

How to book before you fly back

Booking ahead means one less thing to sort out when you're already managing flights, accommodation and family schedules. HUB accepts online bookings at hubairportparking.com, with payment by credit card, PromptPay, bank transfer or cash.

If you prefer to confirm details by phone or LINE before committing — particularly for longer stays or if you have specific questions about arrival logistics — the team is reachable at +66-62-442-4291, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Practical tips for expats planning a holiday return

• Book your parking slot at the same time you book your flight. Holiday periods fill up quickly, and securing a confirmed space removes one variable from a busy travel period.
• Note the pickup point at Suvarnabhumi. When you land, call or contact HUB and the shuttle will be dispatched to meet you at the designated area.
• Check whether your trip length falls within a fixed package. The 3-day (549 THB excl. VAT), 5-day (849 THB excl. VAT) and 7-day (999 THB excl. VAT) packages offer the best per-day rates. For anything else, the custom daily rate from 130 THB (before VAT) applies.
• Factor in VAT. All prices listed are before 7% VAT, so plan accordingly when budgeting.
