Most of my Samsonite last 10- 12 years, and one of my suitcases I used for 20 years travelling all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 8 hours ago, Yellowtail said: A bundle of thousand-baht bills is about the size of a large phone and from about 12 to 18 mm thick depending on how dirty they are. Then why carry around a bag full of money? Apparently very tight trousers if you can't get a bundle of bills in them without a big bulge. Try not folding them over. They'll overnight me a new one. I only carry that much money once a month. You clearly don't understand the point I was making. Someone clones your credit card by walking past you, your 4 million will be gone before you realize what has happened. It's theft in cyberspace, not physical theft of the card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... what is an 'F-Bag' in Yellowtails world ? An "F-bag may" be a homophobic slur. I do not usually carry my man bag, man purse, or "murse", but it is prepared always in a larger bag when I fly. If I ever have to evacuate off the airplane or escape a hotel fire my passport(s), keys, IDs/cards and wallet are coming with me! My mobile is always in my pocket or nearby. Everything else can burn up for what I care I used to get them at the a pack shop at the now defunct Kajd Suan Kaew mall in Chiang Mai. Metal cables in straps and locking zippers for the close in slash/pull attacks. pacsafe is the brand I used to give them to friends as gifts.

Dcheech Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Shoulder sling pack. Travel & when on cycle doing shopping around town. The leather & canvas 'bags' seem a bit much. The Indy Jones one is ok, but when I ran onto Simon Reeve traveling with one, I nearly had a fit of projectile vomiting.

I am not concerned with card skimming in Australia, because getting card fraud rectified by financial institutions is only a phone call or email away. In Thailand, a combination of the language barrier and institutional sclerosis is a different story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Yep. Just large enough to carry my phone, my glasses (or sunglasses), and knickknacks like pens. I used to carry a day pack but the suckers are too large for what I want to carry (glasses/phone). Fill the extra pocket with lead and it makes a pretty good sap as well. But, then there goes the phone and glasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would let them know. 3 hours ago, Lacessit said: How can you be sure you will get the money back, particularly when dealing with a Thai bank? How is one sure of anything? My US card is the big one, the Thai Citibank card is only about 1M. You do not carry a credit card? Citibank has been great to me so far, but their consumer business is/has been taken over by UOB so not sure how that will pan out. 3 hours ago, Lacessit said: BTW, I don't wear tight trousers. I don't wear trousers that look like Bedouin tents either. You're the one that claimed you could not get a bundle of bills in your pocket without an obvious bulge, not me.
