mike111 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) There have news about hotel safes, both those at the front desk and the in-room ones, being broken into. As the title says, can a tourist rent a safe box/deposit box at a thai bank/post office, say, for 20-30 days?. TIA.

necronx99 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You will not get one at a bank. There are commercial security companies that offer boxes. A google search will turn up more. http://www.safedepositboxbangkok.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike111 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Thanks. Just found that HSBC thailand seems to offer a deposit box: http://www.hsbc.co.t...afe-deposit-box Anyone knows of a bank/other business offering this service in Pattaya?.

impulse Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Banks offer safety deposit boxes, but many (most? all?) of them have long waiting lists to get one. Call ahead if you're going to count on the service to protect your valuables. Edited March 8, 2012 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokburning Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Don't even try for a bank. Even when I was living in Pattaya I could never get an SCB to give me one. There are private saftey boxes I recall some years back. One place on Soi Bukhao and another on Pattaya Tai. I would not trust anything but a bank - but even banks have employees thieve from them. Recall a story only a few months back on the TV here in BKK> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falang07 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I could get one in a bank on Koh Samui on tourist visa, no problem at all. 500 baht per year, I used it for one month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just don't believe or overdo things you read. 99.99% of the tourists using hotel safes have no problems with them. Simply use one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falang07 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 99.99%? And this estimate is based on what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
