flakes Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hello, Who know a bank here in pattaya where clients can rent safety deposit boxes ? Flakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifcake Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi Flakes, I inquired about that about six months ago and it seems all the safe deposit boxes in the major banks in Pattaya are rented out. There are a few private safe deposit boxes available. I saw an ad on Soi Bukkhao, but I'm not sure how safe those safe deposit boxes are. Bangkok seems to be the best bet. There are safe deposit boxes available in most major banks. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeMak9 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) I would suggest you to have a look at http://www.siamsecure.co.th . They are on Pattaya Klang, have 24 / 7 security and are open 7 days a week to 10 pm. I had a locker in Jomtien but I moved my stuff to here because this one seems much much safer. Getting a safe deposit box at the bank is a nightmare. Ive tried before and wasted 3 full days for it. Not worth the trouble and to be honest, I wouldnt have it any other way than I have now.

Yes, but this is a private company and you have no idea who is behind it and it's unlikely to be subject to anywhere near the same legal standards and regulations as a bank? Personally, I would never entrust my valuables to a private company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 In the past, people have recommended a law firm that offers this service. Might be worth checking that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 There was a private company opened a "secure" storage facility like safety deposit boxes in Jomtien at the bottom of Soi what boon next to the new second road, six months later they had disappeared ! Not sure if anyone lost anything. A friend tried for months round all the banks in Pattaya to rent a safety deposit box but each time the sorry was the same, all rented out!

I, and several others, have found it also to be a pointless exercise so far at least. Just would not use a private safety deposit box anywhere here - maybe I'm overly cautious but..............

juliusk Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Anyone inhere checked out this place besides DeeMak, would love to hear some reviews as I might be interested myself if they really offer what they say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 T.T. Currency Exchange has some branches around town w/ safety boxes. It's in Bangkok as well. B500 a month for a small one, 1 year contract. I have looked inside a TT Exchange vault for security boxes and it looks pretty safe to me. --http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/734450-news-from-one-of-bangkoks-safety-box-services/#entry7987365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliusk Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 TT Exchange looks a bit dodgy though with those exchange units, if that new company really have 24/7 security I would consider that one. Feels a bit more safe for me but nobody have any reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a bit more safe for me but nobody have any reviews? As for TT, changing money has been a good business in PTY, and it's a chain, so less likely to go out of business I'd assume. Also having THEIR money around too should imply a consideration for security. I don't really know anything about either place, however, and I don't have a box anywhere. It would be interesting to have more info on the new company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed his mind after being held at knifepoint and forced to open his home safe to hand over B2 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I've had the same frustration as others trying to procure a safety deposit box from a bank. Half the banks didn't even know what I wanted after describing a safe deposit box. Anyway I gave up. Couple of years ago several people recommended this place in Jomtien. They've been around several years and I'm comfortable with them. http://www.safe-storebox.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, will check out both myself soon and will leave a review inhere as well... At least I read they offer the services below as well TAXI-LIMOSINE SAFE DRIVER We have properties for sale and rent also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 i don't know the one that DeeMark was referring to. It doesn't look bad though from the website. The one I'm referring to is the one I use. I haven't had any doubts about their honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason i choose to use the one on pattaya klang is because of the safety. Theres only a glass window between the boxes and outside in Jomtien. At siam secure its a 30 cm reinforced wall , and the price is the same I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukDod Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 In the past, people have recommended a law firm that offers this service. Might be worth checking that option. Maybe you are referring to Magna Carta law firm, located across from CAT, on S.Pattaya Rd. They have keyed boxes...1,000-Bt/year., but access only during business hours. But, I was told by the staff they are okay for documnets, but not for storing any funds! The latter made me concerned about safety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) This is in the "Land of the Free". The US State of Georgia just passed a law for bank accounts with no activity for more than one year. They seize them. I'd say try Singapore or Austria.

Well, if the (theoretically) most 1st world country on the planet can seize your assets at their whim, what's to stop a Banana Republic from doing so? Under Martial Law every 5-10 years at that!!!! The video explains the "Safety Deposit Box" issue. I just mentioned the new Georgia law as an afterthought. Seems relevant to me. =========== Oh yeah @JSixpack, no offense Brother.....NOT picking at you, but it's amazing how some folks stick their heads in the sand. Not saying you do.....I should have explained myself better. Cyprus & Greece just confiscated retirement funds over the past few years. Argentina has defaulted on its debt 2 times in 13 years. Thailand did the same in 1997. When a government goes broke, they raid assets. Singapore has a fairly decent debt to GDP ratio as compared to other countries = unlikely to raid private funds for "The Good of The State". LOS has just emerged from a major debacle (err....might be emerging). I'd much rather pay the 180 baht ATM fee to grab some cash in LOS than keep anything of serious value in a Thai "Safety" deposit box.....OR a USA "Safety" deposit box. Just sayin'.......

JSixpack Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Well, if the (theoretically) most 1st world country on the planet can seize your assets at their whim, what's to stop a Banana Republic from doing so? I don't see the "whim." Overly strict rules, yes. The vid referred to bank accts w/ no activity for 3 years. Thai banks will close your account after a year or so of a very low balance. Cyprus & Greece just confiscated retirement funds over the past few years. Argentina has defaulted on its debt 2 times in 13 years. Thailand did the same in 1997. Foreigner retirement funds are at risk? Did Argentina seize private (legit) assets? Thailand didn't default. Singapore has a fairly decent debt to GDP ratio as compared to other countries = unlikely to raid private funds for "The Good of The State". That's a good point for the well-heeled. The average member here ain't gonna find it worthwhile to run down to Singapore every time he wants to open his safety box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
