thaibeachlovers Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Can someone recommend a safety box place to me please? I'll be staying in my GF's cheap room, thanks to the cr-p pound exchange rate ( thanks Gordon, not ), so will be needing somewhere to keep valuables, passport etc. Would prefer somewhere that I can access 7 days a week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The one I've used for the last 5 or 6 years is on the ground floor of Jomtien Complex Condo, but that's probably not much use to you if your GF's cheap room is in North Pattaya. If you told us where in town you will be located, maybe you would get some more useful replies? P.S. commiserations on the crap pound, you're not alone in feeling Gordon Clown's nasty pinch.

FarangBuddha Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Post office on soi 13 has boxes for rent...don't know if any are available right now or what the minimum time period for rental is. Access is at least 6 days a week. Some of the private mail service counters have boxes for rent as well. I think the MBE at Central Festival north Pattaya has them. PS: I think it's the people's propensity to borrow and spend money they haven't earned yet is what caused your currency to crash...I don't think one man had much to do with this mentality...especially as the Scots have historically been known as the thrifty ones in your United Kingdom.

Probably true but they wouldn't have spent had the government and regulators been so lax. I suspect toxic debt from the USA, Greek financial impropriety, and so called PIGS along with the UK carry a lot of the blame....... What are PIGS? Portugual, Ireland, Greece, Spain. Don't blame me, this apparently emanated from EU headquarters in Brussels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZEMADE Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Not sure, but I think there are safety boxes just inside the door of Carrfour, I think it is also a post office as well. If so, you would have access 14 hrs a day 7 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies. Don't yet know where I'll be staying ( Roll on April! ). The GF says she has found a place at 5000bht a month, but don't know where it is. Anyone had experience of using a safety box in a bank? I'll have to stop checking the Baht rates- way too depressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Osborne Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You can buy a small safe for a couple of thousand baht and get someone to bolt it into the floor or wall.. I got one in Carrefour but you can get them in all big shopping centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somtampet Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Your gf cheap room. These rooms for thais are about 1,500-2,000 baht a month.When you get one for 5,000 baht a month the quality should be ok,as a mate of mine stayed in one on soi 17,off 3rd road,as his gf booked it,and was brilliant for 4,500 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebina Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 A few years back Diana hotel used to rent out some safety boxes at their hotel to non guests. Don't know if they still do it, or the cost but you could check it out. Some of the other bigger hotels may do it, for a fee also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, her present room is way cheaper than 5000, but she isn't keen on me staying there as she says too many pretty ladies around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Big C: North Pattaya. Located on the second floor just outside of the mobile phone shop enclave. It also provides photocopying, postal, laminating and other such ancillary services. Couldn't find the place. There are 2 places that rent for 500 bht/ month, in Soi Yamato and in Soi Buakao near Sawasdee Hotel. Large supermarkets are doing a roaring trade in home safes.
