I actually think a Rolex on your wrist is safer than in a Bangkok hotel safe. Plenty of times I have read stories of theft from the safe in a Thailand hotel room.

When I'm carrying a significant amount of money or valuables, I lock them in my luggage. It's very inconspicuous, if someone inspects the luggage they'll see a lock on it and they tend to leave it alone. I've been doing this for well over 20 years in various cities around the world and I've never had anyone tamper with my luggage. 

 

I feel much safer doing this then leaving it in the hotel safe which is likely much more vulnerable.

Try asking your insurance company , thats presuming you have the Rolex insured.

They may want an extra premium for wearing the watch out in Bangkok.

I think London would be a more risky place my self.

can never work out why anyone these days needs a watch.... I do have 2 nice ones in there boxes

 

My cheap Smartphone has the correct time, not worn my watch for at least 16 years
