    if you are going to any country Thailand any Citibank is in every single country sign up in your country and when you go to Thailand go in and get some money no need for an exchange it is safe for you what I do is have two wallets one I have a few notes in there in my pocket there other I have a flat bumbag it's thin and I put under my jumper jacket or T-shirt no one can see it or knows its there have your ID and money in that

      What they do in Brazil is to put 2 x elastic bands around your wallet , so when someone attempts to pickpocket you , the friction caused by the band will alert you that someone is trying to rob you .
      If I have visa/banking stuff and need my passport . I do it first thing in the morning , then return to my house and put the passport away .
      I never take my iPhone / tablet/ laptop outside. I have a dumb phone 900 baht and only take as much money as I need , usually no more than 1500 baht .
      If I have to withdraw a decent amount from an ATM, I take my wife with me and use the ATM @to the bank .
      The restaurant and bars I use are walking distance and am always back by 8.30 latest .
      If take as many precautions as possible ( without becoming paranoid) we will be safe .
      Complacency is becoming more frequent- I’ve done it myself and lost a phone . But a good regimen of ‘ being as safe as possible’ is a habit we don’t want to slip out of .
