An interesting letter-to-the-editor appears in this week's PATTAYA MAIL. I'll let you read the article for yourself. If you are someone who uses hotel safes, I'd make sure to read this one if I were you . . .

I am very suspicious of any hotel which does not provide a private room for safety deposit access. Also, noting and memorising the number seems to me fundamental if you use this service.

No hotel safe system can ever be 100% secure. The visitor will never know how many members of staff have cut themselves an extra key to your safe or room. Even electronic safes with code number of your own making can easily be circumvented. In the end we can only take the usual sensible precautions.......then cross your fingers.
