Hi all,
I'll be reaching Bangkok from Hanoi on Monday morning, and heading South for a week - and then returning to Bangkok for a flight out. I want to leave my big backpack at Suvarnabhumi on my way in, and pick it up a week later for my next flight - has anyone left luggage there for a few days? is it safe and reliable?
Thanks,
Vineet

I haven't actually left luggage at the airport but I've never had any problems with left luggage anywhere else in Thailand.
I'm pretty sure there will be no problems whatsoever but you can always lock and/or wrap your backpack in polythene for extra security.

I haven't heard anything recently, I just wouldn't leave anything valuable with them. Also, have a bag that you can lock up. The storage at the airport is not that cheap!

Many years ago I left bags at hotels for free and come back months later (Sukhumvit Crown Hotel, between soi 6 and soi 8) and nothing was disturbed. I did this for years with this hotel until they raised the hotel prices higher than what I wanted to pay for one night coming back to Thailand and one night before leaving for home. That was several years ago now I don't have to anymore.

I left two locked suitcases for four days 07/09. Everything was fine. I think they refuse to accept certain valuable items, you have to sign a disclaimer. My stuff was mainly clothes, but also some nice presents from Japan.

They don't accept any electronics or valuables - see http://www.bangkokairportonline.com/node/134
NO jewelry, watches, antiques, gold, cash, credit cards, perishable goods, fragile articles, electric appliances, mobile phone, shaver, CD player, MP3 player, portable computer, camera (film or digital) or VDO camera accepted.
Once you take away the prohibited items what's left other than used clothing, books and some souveniers no one would want to steal. Should be ok, just allow time for retrieving your bag before the outbound flight, as there can sometimes be a long queue at the counter.

Yep they should be pretty safe, just have a small lock on your backpack and don't keep valuable items inside, but even if you do, im sure it will still be there!
