I'm spending 2 weeks in Thailand on my way from UK to Oz next week, & want to travel light during my stay. I want to leave 2 suitcases & a laptop at the airport, but have heard numerous reports that this is not actually as safe as it should be, especially for electronics. Has anyone got any advice or ideas, as I although the cases will jsut have clothes in, I don't really fancy having my laptop nicked.

Cheers, Sambo76

You really don't want to leave a laptop or anything similar of value. Even the left luggage company will tell you that.

Cheers Ovenman,

My choices are: airport, leave it with hotel in Bangkok, or take it with me and leave in my beachhut - Any ideas as to what I should do? Thanks all.

Don't leave anything of value in your suitcase if u are leaving it there. Take your laptop with you and I'd stick it in a safe deposit box at your hotel.

Left luggage at the airport does not accept laptops and it's also expensive - 100 baht a day per piece. Guest house and hotel left luggage is categorically not safe for anything of real value. You don't know who has access to the left luggage room (if there is a room and not just a cubbyhole behind the desk).

Bangkok Self Storage offers "backpacker storage" for 100 baht per piece per week. They're very secure, clean, friendly and professional. They're also not hard to get to: just tell the taxi driver it's on Rama IV, just past the Carrefour, Channel Three and the small lane next to Boss Tower (from Sukhumvit take soi 26 down to Rama IV).

(I'm not connected with this company, just a satisfied customer.)

I can also recommend the Rainbow guesthouse and Indian restraun at the end of the KSR. I left 2 bags there for just over a year with some very expensive diving kit in it no probs. At only 10baht a day also good value. The guys there are all nice people and speak good English. Good luck anyway.If you reqire directions drop me a PM Cheers Dunc

      Thai-Chinese Collaboration: MOU Signed for Environmentally Friendly Waste-to-Energy Plant

      A groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between Thailand’s Vision Inspector and Engineering Co., Ltd. and China’s Aurorean Recovery Co., Ltd., marking a major step in the development of environmentally friendly community waste-to-energy power plants. The signing ceremony, held at Aurorean Recovery’s headquarters, was attended by key figures from both organisations. Representing Vision Inspector and Engineering were Chairman Visarat Potprasart, Civil Engineering Manager Wisarut Rithilert, Public Sector Liaison Manager Chatchai Sapseesuwan, Technical Specialist Manager Manoon Permpintong, Electrical Engineering Manager Natchawarakan Pornrattanun, and Facility Manager Manoch Wangnak. The Chinese side was led by Mr. Thomas Jing, Chairman of Aurorean Energy. Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on the Waste-to-Energy (Thai-China) project, leveraging advanced gasification technology to generate electricity from municipal waste. Operating at high temperatures of 1,000-1,200 degrees Celsius, the gasification system promises a clean energy solution free of dioxins, pollutants, waste by-products, and odours. The waste incinerator, featuring a 360-degree rotational axis, ensures optimal combustion quality. Residues from the process can be repurposed into high-strength construction materials or landfill materials, while excess energy from the steam turbine system can be managed efficiently, maintaining sub-zero temperatures where needed. This innovative approach addresses waste management challenges while supporting environmental sustainability, combining waste elimination with clean energy production. The project’s initial implementation will take place in Kanchanaburi province as part of Thailand’s broader strategy to establish permanent waste management solutions and generate renewable energy. With an investment of THB 1.35 billion, the pilot plant will feature a 6-megawatt capacity and handle at least 500 tons of waste per day. The project aligns with the Energy Regulatory Commission’s 2022 directive on purchasing electricity from community waste-to-energy plants. Construction is expected to be completed within three years, setting a benchmark for similar projects across Thailand’s municipalities, provincial administration organisations, and subdistrict administrative organisations. The partnership highlights the shared commitment of Thai and Chinese enterprises to leveraging advanced technology for sustainable development, with a vision to support special economic zones, tourism, and border trade.
