It is always a risk leaving cash in the room.
But I always did it....when travelling overseas.
I definitely cant carry all the cash with me when Im out of the room...
What if I get robbed?
So I always leave some cash in my backpack n hid it inside the closet.
Just pray the room cleaners will have clean hands.

Ever wonder how the hotel staffs were able to open your in-room safe deposit box when you happen to lose your password for the safe? Yes,that also means hotel staffs (or someone else) were able to open your in-room safe box when you are not in-room. I dont think the hotel management will dump the safe deposit box away if a guest happens to lose the safe's password tho.
Be a little street-smart during travelling,never put all eggs in one basket and it is a traveler's personal responsibility to keep their valuable safe. My self-created personal safe deposit box for your reference during travel :
Passport and some cash,i always leave it at the reception. I trust the reception in Formosa Hotel more than my girl/s,hehehe...  |
Yes, I remember staying in a china hotel n found the safety deposit box not there even though the recep say there is one.
After some phone calls....got a guy come to my room carrying a safety box!!
Its heavy but he is big size.
Seeing the way he can carry the box with ease....I also abit worried putting my valuables there.
I guess it is always good to do like what you say....distribute the cash in many places in the room.
Bro Nono....I seen the pic of your self made deposit box.....
just wonder how much time you need to knock off the tile?
