Sorry newtovillagelife, my error for confusing things.
I meant the new carpark being prepared.

Landed 14jan around 17h to pick up my car far away on the grassland.
Walked through the new paying part, a paying booth at exit "manned" by a lady.
We sometimes get away for 3 to 7 days, 7x200 = 1400 for one week parking, think that is too much for 7 days, might do for 3 nights.
We live 50 kms from airport, don't know any other solution than leave my car at the airport.

There is a fairly new business on the newest bit of the ring road - not far away from the Tana Home's turn off. Undercover car park & mini bus to the airport.
I have no idea of the pricing, nor have I used it. Just seen it passing by..

If you are thinking of the place opposite the PEA building, that closed a while back. They charged 100 Baht/day but was not well used. Maybe it was bit ahead of its time.

Yes rreddin that was the place. Thanks for the 'closed' information.
As you say, maybe just a bit ahead of its' time.

I would guess that it means that the driver only has the ability to speak a very limited amount of English.

Buses to Udon Thani on main road every 5 minutes, not an option though

Thanks for the tel #, will consider, also think I have a pal not far from Big C where I can leave my horse for the week.

Relevant to parking, or just dropping off/picking up quickly. - Nok Air still using old terminal? Lion Air - new terminal? Air Asia and Thai Smile?????? Thanks.

In retrospect, a silly question on my part. But my memory went right back to the very old, completely demolished? terminal,where Immigration 'lived' for a while, which was separated by 100? metres from that used now and you had to walk outside. Although I didn't get out of the car and my eyes were mainly on the road today, it seemed the newer additions might be termed an extension and you can walk through the complete length i.e. dropping off at any entrance doesn't cause an inconvenience.

Brian,
Check in for Nok Air and Thai Smile is the same as ever but for Lion Air and Air Asia its at the new style "old terminal."
You can drop off at the normal place and then go inside,bear right and walk about 100 metres or so for the new Lion Air/Air Asia check ins.
Pick up area from flights is the same as it always was.

Thanks, Zidane.
That's really what I meant, but you explained it better! Initially, I had it in my head that for, as you say. Lion Air and Air Asia, you'd have to go further to a still separate building.

past the new terminal it appears a huge new parking lot is being constructed.. The entire areas been dug down half a meter or more to prepare it..

On the new terminal. when you enter it, walking from the old terminal watch out for the single step down about 20-30 meters inside the new terminal...
