Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom: Comparing Drive Times to Suvarnabhumi

How Far Is Suvarnabhumi from the Western and Northern Provinces?

Drivers from Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, and Nakhon Pathom face some of the longest runs to Suvarnabhumi of any Bangkok-area province — and with Bangkok traffic between you and the airport, the actual time behind the wheel matters far more than the straight-line distance. Here is a realistic breakdown to help you plan your departure day.

| Province | Estimated Distance | Typical Drive Time (off-peak) | Peak-Hour Addition |

|---|---|---|---|

| Nonthaburi (city centre) | ~45 km | 50–70 min | +30–60 min |

| Pathum Thani (city centre) | ~55 km | 60–80 min | +40–60 min |

| Nakhon Pathom (city centre) | ~80 km | 75–100 min | +30–50 min |

These figures assume a clear expressway run. If you are leaving on a Friday — the busiest departure day of the week — add extra buffer, especially on the Chaeng Watthana–Vibhavadi corridor from Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani, and on the outer ring road from Nakhon Pathom.

The Real Cost of Leaving Your Car at the Airport

For a 5-night trip, Suvarnabhumi's own car park costs roughly 1,250 THB. For 7 nights it climbs to around 1,750 THB. Those numbers are fine if you park occasionally — but for the traveller who flies several times a year, they accumulate fast.

This is the pain point most drivers from Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, and Nakhon Pathom do not fully account for until they are standing at the pay machine on the way home: multi-day airport parking gets expensive, and the car sat under open sky the whole time.

HUB Airport Parking is a covered, indoor facility located 7 km from Suvarnabhumi terminal, roughly 12 minutes by shuttle. Pricing (before 7% VAT):

• 3 days: 549 THB (183 THB/day)
• 5 days: 849 THB (170 THB/day)
• 7 days: 999 THB (143 THB/day)
• Custom durations from 130 THB/day (plus VAT)

Compared with the airport's own 7-day rate, HUB saves you approximately 43%. The car stays indoors — out of sun and rain — and you keep your own keys. No one else moves the vehicle while you are away.

Planning Your Drive: Practical Tips by Province

From Nonthaburi

The fastest route is typically expressway via Don Mueang Tollway connecting to the outer ring road (Road 9) east toward Bang Na–Trat, then south to Suvarnabhumi. Allow at least 90 minutes on a Friday morning. Consider departing before 06:00 or after 09:30 to avoid the Ngam Wong Wan and Chaeng Watthana pinch points.

From Pathum Thani

Similar routing — Vibhavadi Rangsit to the expressway network, then east. Friday afternoons on the Rangsit elevated road can add 45–60 minutes unpredictably. For a flight departing before 08:00, a 04:30–05:00 departure is reasonable.

From Nakhon Pathom

Most drivers take Highway 338 to Bang Phli, or use the outer ring road (Road 9) eastbound from Nakhon Pathom through Samut Sakhon toward Bang Na. The route is generally freer of heavy congestion than the northern corridors but can still slow significantly on Friday evenings in the Bang Na direction. Allow at least 100 minutes for peak-hour trips.

How the HUB Shuttle Fits Your Journey

Once you park at HUB — which is on Kingkaew Road, Racha Thewa, Bang Phli — the free shuttle picks you up within 15 minutes and delivers you to Suvarnabhumi terminal in about 12 minutes. The shuttle runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so it does not matter whether your flight departs at 06:00 or 23:55.

For drivers coming from Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, or Nakhon Pathom, parking near Suvarnabhumi airport at HUB effectively cuts the final leg of your journey to a predictable 12 minutes — and removes the stress of hunting for a space inside the terminal car park after a long drive.

Booking takes a few minutes online. Half of HUB's customers book within three days of their flight; one in five books on the day itself. If you prefer to confirm by phone or LINE before booking, call +66-62-442-4291.

Book Your Space Before You Leave

For drivers from the western and northern provinces, the drive to Suvarnabhumi is already the hard part. Parking near Suvarnabhumi airport at a fixed, predictable price — indoors, with a free 24-hour shuttle and CCTV-monitored security — removes the one variable you can control before your trip.
