^Were there still lots of cars parked up due to flooding or was it more like business as usual?
Approach road didn't look too bad, I could't see over into long term outside parking, I went straight to level 5 pulled in and it looked busy but that's probably normal,
I never had to go to the roof level or down another level, so I would guess all is ok with covered parking @ 250 Baht per 7 to 24 Hours, for my 3 day trip is much more convenient and much cheaper than getting a Taxi to and from Pattaya.
750 Baht for 3 days covered parking right next to the terminal has to be a bargain. at London Heathrow it would have cost over 7,000 Baht !!!!!!

^I agree Banzai, that's what I always do, and it's much safer driving yourself and you can use your child seats.
I'll be flying out on 17th for a couple of weeks so am hoping the car parking will be back to normal, even if I have to park on any floor in the short term building.

Came back today, 3 people in front of me in Immigration.
Went to get my car and pay the 750 Baht, the guy took the ticket but no money, " Free " he said.
3 days covered parking in an international airport terminal car park for free, Incredible, they must be still giving free parking due to floods, straight out of the airport onto a great road and back in Pattaya in no time at all.
In the morning I paid 1,200 Baht to get to Tokyo Narita airport from downtown Tokyo, by bus !!

Based on yesterday's day trip to Singapore, short term parking is back to normal... apart from being free that is.

Drove my car to short time parking yesterday morning and the place was filled to the rim with cars and pick ups. Had to drive to top floor (6th) to park. When I came back in late afternoon to collect my car I had to push a pick up out the way in order to get my car out. Still no fee.
What about that open parking space next to the covered parking? I noticed it was 1/2 full, but everybody wants to parked covered off course, but if I knew what was coming I would had chosen that, but are not sure its assailable from short time parking road?
Hope the fee's are soon back, I rather pay so I can park easy & fast, suspect that app. 1/2 of the vehicles owners are non fliers and its for fliers after all.

Exactly what I observed last week when I had to pick up an arriving friend. Many of the cars were so covered in dust that they looked like they had been there since the impending floods in mid-October. I had to resort to Thai-style double parking on the sixth floor, and all the rest of the floors were completely packed, with even the entire aisles all double-parked already. I've resorted to taking a taxi, as there is no assurance you will find any covered parking at all now, and I don't want to leave my car out in the uncovered lot.

After you bear right to the short term parking, there is another fork in the road, left to 1st floor parking, right to 5th floor parking. If you take the left there you end up in the open air parking. Lot's quicker if just picking someone up.

OK thanks for that. I will go flying on the 3rd Jan for a 1 day trip so I will properly use that unless the fees are back and us fliers can park easily again.

Any idea when the parking fees will be reinstated ?

The day before you need to use the carpark:-)

Anyone have a recent carpark update? I have a trip on Wednesday and was wondering whether there will be any parking in short term. I don't care if they charge - I just want a place to park my car instead of taking a taxi!

It will probably depend on the time you arrive at the car park.
I arrived early morning an found a good spot but departing at around lunch time last Saturday the car park was mobbed.
They are charging again.

Thanks for the replies, guys...looks like I'll be taking a taxi again rather than risk not having a place to park.
I don't get it...they are charging again and the floods are gone, but the carpark is still at capacity.

Take your car. There's loads of spaces.

I parked there on the 30th and came out on the 2nd. Car park was busy but could park on 6th floor quite easily. They gave me a ticket going in with date and time on it.
Coming out was a nightmare. Took me 45 minutes to get to the exit. Only two out of three booths were manned. When I eventually got there and gave my ticket in with 1000 baht ready in my hand, he waved me through and said, "free". Not sure why.
