Well you know sometimes you forget your key in your room and I don't like burying it anymore next to my favourite tree! Does anyone know a safe place where you can rent a tiny little safe or make a deposit for your key against an affordable rate?

Insert the key into a loop of black shoe lace and hang it around your neck. The key will always go where your head goes. Even during bath and toilet periods...

This was a trick we learnt during army training...

next to shennanigans jomtiem have a place that rents safe deposit boxes there per year

You got no mates that you can trust to hold a set of keys for you?

There's an office/shop with a name that begins "99..." that has small security boxes which you can rent by the month (or even week perhaps).

If you stand on the other side of Second Road and look across at the VC Hotel, this office/shop is to the right. It's the first shop up the road or alley immediately to the right of the hotel. It may even be set into the side of the hotel.

It was there the last time I looked. Which was maybe a year ago.

I used it for a couple of months about 4 years ago. Seemed legit and trustworthy.

Hope this helps.

Better get a security box with a combination lock so you don't need to find another box to keep the key of the first one in.

In thailand there are times you do not want your key to go where your head goes. If you get robbed you are giving them the lot.

Only if the robbers know where the lock is, that the key fits. Otherwise it's useless to the robbers.

As I recall the '99'...place near VC hotel has the double key system.

You have one key, they have the other.

And you have to prove who you are before they provide the second key to open the safety deposit box.

Another thing to consider:

What if you realized on your trip out, that you forgot your key to your room and the security box shop/office was closed?

My apartments have started charging 50THB to 'borrow' a spare key, which I object to, so I spent 60THB on spare keys which I have never had cause to use since

I keep the spares attached to my passport wallet on a lanyard around my neck, but I still very occasionally forget these.

In the UK car accessory shops sell small magnetic boxes that you can use to store your car keys, attaching then to the chassis or up in the engine compartment.

Some mailbox companies permit 24/7 access. The mail boxes are openly accessible from the rear by shop staff, but if you just left a small envelope in there, I doubt if they's put 2 and 2 together, but then again they might.

Just some thoughts...

I have something like this in the US, don't know if you could find one similar in Thailand, good luck!

Really convenient, one less key to carry around and worry about.
