Asia - Luggage Storage at BKK?

I need to store some 4 or 5 good-size suitcases in Bangkok for a few days soon, while my daughter and I visit Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City. Is there a place to do this at the airport, or downtown?
Note: We are normally carry-on luggage folks, but this time she is temporarily moving to BKK and so will need to take a lot of stuff.
Thank you!

Unless things have changed in the last year or so, there are luggage storage areas in both terminals, but it's cheaper in the domestic terminal.
Here's a layout of the airport:

Yes, I went late last year and used their Left Luggage facilities at the domestic terminal. If I remembered correctly, it was about 70 baht or 80 baht per luggage, per day.
How long will you be in Vietnam? If it is for more than a week or so, you may want to consider storing your suitcases at the hotel you have stayed at in BKK. Their Left Luggage services may come free (rarely for storage of more than a week) or for a cheaper fee than charged at the airport.

We probably will be there about 3 days, so storing luggage at our BKK hotel sounds very good.

We left luggage for a few days in BKK at the end of last year. I think it's 70 baht/day in domestic and 90 baht/day in international. They make you sign a piece of paper that says you don't have anything valuable in there ($, laptop, jewelry, etc.). Our bags were completely intact when we picked them up.
