The 23 October long weekend: parking near Suvarnabhumi for a three day trip

Parking near Suvarnabhumi for the Chulalongkorn Day long weekend

If you are driving to Suvarnabhumi for the 23 October public holiday, HUB Airport Parking is 7 km from the terminal and charges 549 THB for 3 days (before 7% VAT) — with a free 24/7 shuttle that picks you up in 15 minutes and reaches the terminal in 12.

The 23 October Chulalongkorn Day holiday falls on a Thursday, giving many travelers a three-day window if they take Friday off. That means departure days are crowded, airport parking lots fill quickly, and the official Suvarnabhumi car park can cost around 1,750 THB for a week — HUB's 7-day rate is 999 THB (excluding VAT), a 43% saving. Even for a short three-day trip, that difference adds up when you factor in fuel, airport taxes and everything else before a flight.

Why the airport car park hurts most on short trips

The official on-airport lots charge by the day at a flat rate, so a three-day trip costs nearly as much per day as a seven-day one. Many drivers in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces — Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani — have done the calculation after returning from a trip and been quietly annoyed. HUB's 3-day rate of 549 THB (plus 7% VAT) works out to 183 THB per day, which is straightforward to budget before you travel.

What to expect when you park at HUB

HUB Airport Parking is located on Kingkaew Road in Racha Thewa, Bang Phli — about 7 km from the Suvarnabhumi terminal. The facility is fully covered indoor parking, so your car is shielded from sun and rain while you are away. CCTV cameras run 24 hours a day, on-site security guards are present around the clock, and — importantly — you keep your own keys throughout your trip. Nobody else moves your vehicle.

When you arrive, check in and the shuttle will pick you up within 15 minutes. The ride to the terminal takes 12 minutes. The same service runs in reverse when you land: call or message when you collect your bags and the shuttle will meet you.

The shuttle runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so an early-morning departure on 23 October is not a problem.

Pricing for the October long weekend

HUB offers fixed-duration packages as well as custom durations. For a typical three-day holiday trip:

• 3 days: 549 THB (183 THB/day, before 7% VAT)
• 5 days: 849 THB (170 THB/day, before 7% VAT)
• 7 days: 999 THB (143 THB/day, before 7% VAT)
• Custom duration available from 130 THB/day (before 7% VAT)

Payment options include credit card, PromptPay, bank transfer, and cash.

Booking before the long weekend rush

Half of HUB's customers book within three days of travel, and one in five books on the same day. That said, spaces during a public holiday weekend do get reserved, so booking a day or two ahead is sensible. Online booking is available at hubairportparking.com.

If you prefer to confirm by phone or LINE before committing — which many drivers do — call +66-62-442-4291. Staff can confirm availability, explain the shuttle pickup process, and answer questions about your specific travel dates.

Parking near Suvarnabhumi airport for a public holiday trip does not have to mean paying airport-lot rates or hunting for a safe street spot. A covered, guarded facility 7 km from the terminal with a free shuttle is the straightforward answer for a three-day trip this October.
