Safety Deposit Boxes

Respond
Opening question
ANy idea what banks offer safety deposit boxes? Kreung Thai told me a story that I need to have a 3 month deposit account to get one which sounds bloody typically Thai to me. Any idea of the cost as well?

[image: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/images/smilies/arrowup.gif] I think most places want you to open a bank account and have minimum balance (which is small).

You are either going to have an account or pay by the month for it. Its that Simple Squirrell.

To OP: does the safe deposit box have to be located in a bank ? I only ask 'cuz when I arrived in Bangkok in 1999/2000, I rented a box from a company who traded out of Charn Issara Tower on Rama IV Road, just around the corner from Robinsons on Silom. Opening times were agreeable and the fees cheap. Security access was just like that scene in the movie The Bourne Identity ! So cool. No idea if they're still located there but business was always brisk. Just a thought. Maybe other posters can give more updated info ? [image: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/images/smilies/adrian.gif]
