Need place to store bike in Bangkok for 3 weeks

I'm looking for a place around Bangkok where I can safely store my bike for three weeks from mid December to early January. Paid. Free. Beer trade. Whatever.

Any suggestions?

Thumbs up

Try Bluefin Guesthouse, say hello to Pipat from Sascha and Kerstin... Will be parked outside but in the garden, but IN MY OPINION its a safe place... to stay and to park your bike.

Home - Bluefin Guesthouse - cheap rooms & free WiFi in Bangkok, Thailand.

We are currently staying in Penpark Place (close to Khao San rd) but nowhere near the madness and busy streets.

There are currently 2 bikes stored here in the garage (bikes are from Belgium). It looks very safe ad I would be happy to leave my bike here if I had too. Very quiet place and out the way.

Penpark Place

I'm sure they will be able to help you out if you stay here.

Parkin at Penpark place

As said before. Our bikes are at Penpark place. We have them standing for almost 7 weeks now. They stand in the Owners garage while we visit other places. Very safe place, good place to stay, close enough for good food and a and away from the noise of kaosan road.
Also lots of space to do some maintenance
kind regards
jan

Quick question ... I was in Thailand in 2006 with my bike (Canadian plate) and the max time I could stay in-country was 30 days. What you guys are talking about (parking for 7 weeks etc.) is way longer. Have the rules changed?
Thanks,
Kevin

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
