mjakob007 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 When on board, I do not leave it in the pouch of the seat in front of me anymore. some 12 years back I did that and when I took it out at my destination, it smelled butter and all the stamps/ink had spread all over which landed me in some trouble. the kid who sat next to me had saved butter in my pouch which melted!

Chivas Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Passport other than arrival and departure stays in Hotel safe and doesn't get removed or copied or anything. Period !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 BINGO......you are the first to get the right answer. Always, carry my passboard (Sandmanese), in my man bag. Along with all my other accessories, comb, brush, lipstick, mirror etc. The problem is, I can never find it when I want, as my bag is soooooooo big. Man bag????? lipstick, mirror???????? I'm a well organised man. GREEK... that says it all You can collect your cuddly toy anytime, at your convenience. What shade of lipstick would you prefer me to wear? No need to come yourself... just send me the telephon numbers of the cuddly toys... (I mean those Uni girls that Mrs Costas does not allow you to look at anymore ) If you noticed, I'm not the sharing type. Of course there are exeptions to the rules (provide selfie for appreciation) Go and get the numbers yourself you lazy so and so............ You mean MRS Costas is not the sharing type... that is why you have not much to share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhnomKhnom Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Best is to carry in a waist money belt that is worn around the waist and UNDER all clothing; next is pouch around neck and under the shirt. Another option is in front pocket of pants, near your privates. If in deep trouble, stick it and valuables inside your underwear in front. Roll a 1000THB note around your leg and pull your sox up over it; hide in shoe is first place thief looks. I do not trust in-room nor in-hotel lock up or safe. I can not imagine anyone forgetting where their passport is ...... unless drunk or dope up. Zip seal plastic baggie is good to protect from water.

Costas It is excellent that you are keeping up with Greek tradition. In Ancient Greece the use of lipstick by men and women was very popular. The choice of colour indicated your social standing ( though the use of red lipstick by women did advertise their profession) I wonder if you could divulge the colour that is kept securely along with your passport in your man bag? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Roll a 1000THB note around your leg and pull your sox up over it; hide in shoe is first place thief looks. Don't know about you, but I'm sure I'd notice a thief rummaging about in a shoe I was wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amse Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Carry my passport in a small zip-lock plastic bag and in a money belt around my waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) At an airport or border, I keep it in my left shirt pocket (deep). Easily seen by me at all times. Somebody could not possible grab it like they could from trouser pocket, side bag, etc. Their hand would be in my face. Anyways, it is handy there. Everybody has a passport as they cross the border....if somebody wanted to take it, and pointed a gun at me...I would hand it over anyways, and then report it the same day. Foolish in a trouser pocket....I would be afraid of losing it in a toilet on a train or airplane. I keep money elsewhere (except for the border fees, which are in the passport). Atm card is in yet another place. In some countries, such as the Philippines, I put some junk money (Laos small denomination) in an old wallet by itself. That is put in my back pocket as a decoy. (They get to keep the stuff, as I can't use it) Edited August 28, 2014 by slipperylobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Boots Pharmacy, at least the one at Central in Pattaya, sells some travel things and I got a nice folder style passport holder. It easily accommodates the passport and other things and is bulky enough that it's a bit of a struggle to get out of my pocket ... so the chances of someone pick-pocketing it without me being aware are slight. Keeps the passport in good condition too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcrab Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 On the way to or in the airport, usually in my pocket. In the other pocket is my wallet. Often shove my hand in there if it is a bit crowded pre passport control. I don't get too paranoid on planes about being robbed. Where is the thief going to go. In country - have to ask the missus , wouldn't have a clue where she stashes it. Do love the comments about the zip lock bag, vacuum sealed charged with nitrogen, slipped into a carbon fibre reinforced aluminium tin foil container wrapped inside a money belt tightly inserted into the anal cavity. Must be a helluva job flashing that when booking in to a hotel. Could also explain the delays at immigration as well. sawadee ...oops...krup, grunt groan, ziiiiiip, whoosh, crinkle crinkle, stink. Hmmmm ...thirty days ? Chai. Denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wrapped in Aluminum Alfoil....Your chip then cannot be read with your details on......By someone with the gear to do it. They already make a Passport holder that does exactly that.....thats where i got the idea from.....Cost of these are $16 AUS. Yes, I have an RFID-blocking wallet with places for credit cards, etc. as well as my passport. Forget where I got mine - online somewhere. But I've noticed that the REI stores have them, too. Wherever you get it, it's an increasingly worthwhile investment IMO. So you're not exactly the first to market with this idea, but, as they say, if you can make a better mousetrap...

moojar Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I use one of those round-the-neck pouches for passport and money when travelling. Always keep a pen in there too - most convenient when it comes time to fill in the arrival card. A Danish mate of mine had his passport stolen from his hand luggage in Spain, so I keep mine close. My wife has a pair of extremely ugly undies with a pouch in the waist, uses it for large amounts of currency. (Would guard against rape too I reckon, God they're ugly!) I guess you could use those special cricket undies for carrying stuff securely too, they have a pouch for the 'protector'. Baseball might have similar garments?

Not a better mousetrap, just ideas on what you think is important ... the value added will be a hand painted Thai name etc...... Keep the ideas coming......mostly if I should include places for credit cards and cash..... or something else....... and still keep it thin when in your pocket.....
