Here’s the detail for Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, plus when to skip the airport counter entirely. ## Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK): where, hours & price ![Baggage area at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/all3x90e/production/f34a1c903e0d37ad4a917ea5bd83b5a06316d285-867x650.jpg?w=1280&auto=format) *Suvarnabhumi has staffed left-luggage on the arrivals and departures levels, plus 24/7 counters on the rail-link floor.* Suvarnabhumi has staffed left-luggage counters at several points: - **2nd floor (Arrivals)** — handy the moment you land. - **4th floor (Departures)** — near check-in, for the way out. - **B floor (Airport Rail Link level)** — counters here run 24/7. Price is per bag, per day, tiered by size — roughly **฿100 (small) to ฿150 (large) per bag per 24 hours**. Bring your passport, get a tag or receipt, and collect before your flight. (Counters and hours change — confirm with the operator before you travel.) ## Don Mueang Airport (DMK): where, hours & price Don Mueang — Bangkok’s budget-airline hub on the north side — also has left-luggage: - **Terminals 1 & 2** — staffed counters near the connector between the international (T1) and domestic (T2) terminals. - **Official 3rd-floor departures counter** — a 24-hour service at about ฿75 per item per day. Expect roughly ฿75–120 per bag per day depending on the counter and bag size. As at Suvarnabhumi, prices and hours shift — check before you rely on it. ## How to use an airport counter ![Inside the terminal at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/all3x90e/production/948d2b8c5293394c74a8aec619bdea565f8dcb74-940x627.jpg?w=1280&auto=format) *Counters are per-bag, per-day — and you still carry everything through the terminal.* - **Bring ID** — your passport, and sometimes a boarding pass or onward ticket. - **Keep the receipt** — you get a tag or ticket; you’ll need it to collect. - **Pay per bag, per day** — two bags for two days is four charges, so it adds up fast. - **Valuables stay with you** — passport, medication, electronics — never in stored luggage, anywhere. ## Long layover? Here’s the smarter move ![A traveler with a suitcase silhouetted against a city skyline at dusk](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/all3x90e/production/315b97dd768fea760a1a1a197c7f2a717fd657a2-940x627.jpg?w=1280&auto=format) *On a long layover, store one rail stop into the city and actually see Bangkok.* - **Short layover (under ~4 hours)** — use the airport counter and stay close to your gate. - **Long layover (6 hours+)** — store your bag and go into the city. From Suvarnabhumi the Airport Rail Link runs straight to the BTS/MRT network; from Don Mueang, buses and the SRT Red Line reach the centre. Drop your bag near your first stop and you’ve turned a dead layover into a half-day in Bangkok. ## When to store in the city instead If your day is in Bangkok — not at the airport — store in the city, not at the terminal. Airport counters charge per bag per day and you still drag everything through the airport to use them. A [booked spot near your first destination](/search.md) runs from about ฿110/day all-in, takes any bag size, and is guaranteed because you reserve it. For the full city picture, see [where to store luggage in Bangkok](/blog/where-to-store-luggage-in-bangkok.md), or the [every-option comparison](/blog/bangkok-luggage-storage-compared.md). ## Transferring between Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang? The two airports sit on opposite sides of Bangkok — an hour or more apart in traffic. If you’re connecting between them, store your bag at your arrival airport’s counter (or a booked spot in between), then travel light to the other. There’s a free shuttle for connecting passengers with a same-day onward ticket; otherwise buses, taxis, and the rail links connect them. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is there luggage storage at Suvarnabhumi Airport? Yes — staffed left-luggage counters on the 2nd floor (Arrivals) and 4th floor (Departures), plus 24/7 counters on the Airport Rail Link (B) floor. Roughly ฿100–150 per bag per day by size. ### Is there luggage storage at Don Mueang Airport? Yes — counters in Terminals 1 and 2, plus an official 24-hour departures counter on the 3rd floor at about ฿75 per item per day. ### Is airport luggage storage open 24 hours? At Suvarnabhumi, the rail-link (B) floor counters run 24/7; at Don Mueang, the official 3rd-floor counter is 24-hour. Other counters follow terminal hours — confirm before you travel. ### Is it cheaper to store luggage in the city? Usually, if you’re spending the day in Bangkok. A booked city spot is from ~฿110/day all-in, takes any size, and saves you dragging bags through the airport. Use the airport counter only when you’re genuinely airport-bound. ## Store smart, fly light Whether you need the airport counter or a spot in the city, [compare options and book in minutes](/search.md) — every booking covered up to ฿350,000.
