I asked my wife once why Thais wore gold jewelry every place they went, was it to show off? Her reply was simple. Protection. She then explained that If the gold is left in the house, it can't really be protected. The majority of homes do not have a safe plus to many people often come in and out. People who wear their gold might have a chance to fight off the offender. Basically, by keeping their gold with them, many Thais believe that is the safest way to protect their gold. Might be, I don't know. Rather sad either way. Years ago, we bought a safe from a big company in Bangkok, mainly for important documents. Anyway, the safe was to large to fit in the car, so they delivered it the next day. In their company van with a giant logo of a safe on both sides of the vehicle. As Trink would have said, TIT... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumply Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Wow! How many documents do you have? Can't quite see the relevance of the logos on the delivery van(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) RIP to this lady, killed for a bit of gold. I also still see a lot of Thais with several thouand baht kept in their houses, apartments etc, as they run businesses and it is too much work to go to banks each day to get money. When I see a house on fire, I know why the owners run in and out of the house, before they stay outside waiting for the fire department to arrive.Geezer Edited August 24, 2018 by Stargrazer9889 error in message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
