AIRPORTELs have served thousands of satisfied travellers

We’ve been helping thousands of travellers enjoy their journey and vacation in Bangkok, Thailand. It has been a year since AIRPORTELs served Baggage Delivery to travellers from Airbnb in Bangkok, Thailand. Thank you for your great support. We are glad that all of our kind guests have benefited from this easy, convenient, and reliable service.

AIRPORTELs Story – A travellers wish come true

Many of you might not know how we come up with it and why? Here’s the AIRPORTELs story! It starts from a discussion with a friend doing Airbnb in 2014. While he’s hosting guests and tenants, most of them will have problems with their baggage for early check-in or late check-out.

After looking for proper solutions, we noticed that there’s no coin lockers nor deposit services available at public transfers.

airportels,luggage,delivery,Luggage Delivery Service
AIRPORTELs – Suvarnabhumi Airport

Months later, our team placed the 1st electronic locker “Lockbox” at the airport rail link station, Makkasan Station, successfully. However, this is not enough! Locker service is not the ultimate solution for travellers to enjoy a vacation in Bangkok as they still need to carry their bags from the hotel to the locker and they need to get back to pick the baggage up from the locker again.

I thought to myself, I wish my baggage could have legs and walk by itself, and that was the “Aha” moment.

lockbox,left luggage

(Note: 3 transit systems, BTS, MRT and ARL, are available in Bangkok. Though some of the stations of each system are adjacent to each other, travellers have to pass through long walkways and stairs to get into the other one.)

Imagine that you carry your 20 kg, roughly 40 lbs., or even heavier, baggage to climb up several stairways and, probably, many times that will make you wanna cry. You might think about taking a taxi. Yes, it could be the solution, but make sure you really realize the notorious traffic jams in the city.
