daveb1 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Big c sell them as do homemart from about 1500 baht big range of sizes available. You need to bolt it to the wall somewhere out of sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine146 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I see some safes are very small and would be very easy carry away if not bolted to wall. I've seen digital safes about the size of 17' monitor for 4,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilko Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Maybe a floor safe is an idea, stick some furniture over it, whatever you do , keep it hidden as much as you possibly can A couple of speculative thieves may be in your house to nick the TV and leave quick, if they see a Safe they may wait for you to come home, or come back when you are there and force you to open it! Either scenario could be life threatening. That is why Big safes in houses are not such a good idea. Just an opinion.

syd barrett Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I agree with the above post, this is Thailand, if you are discovered with a safe in your house or apartment, thwarted burglars will return and make you open the safe someday and might kill you. If you have a Thai wife or partner, then he/she would be in danger, from torture or violence. Valuables, IMHO should be either at proper safety deposit boxes in Bangkok or else title deeds at the local bank for safe keeping. (There is an annual fee for this).

pnustedt Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Check out what fire protection the safe gives - the cheaper ones give little protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley 7 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Whatever your choice in safes installed or free standing, come to Bangkok to buy it and give them a bogey address and take it back to Pattaya and do any installation yourself. Dont advertise that you have goods of value that need to be stored in a safe or even that you have one to any outside party. Too much temptation particularly with this idea that farangs have millions of baht in their pockets. A scam of this nature was revealed a few months ago in the newspapers whereupon the actual shop owners were passing on the information to theives who knew the safe codes and the location of the safe through the delivery invoice.

bambob Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 such an installation needs to be kept hushhush otherwise chinese whispers will start around the neighbourhood , and you will be branded very wealthy with mega ammounts of valuables on the premises. then the thugs will arive with heavy artillery !

Thaiquila Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 It sounds like it is safer NOT to have a safe. Maybe this is a good farang biz opportunity ... confidential safe sales and installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
