Check your credit card statements very carefully for several months when you get home. I got back to find over £5,000 worth of purchases in the Philipines had been made on mine - the crook was caught - an employee of a "reputable" jewellers shop in Phuket.

Spider has made a very good point. I would check my credit card(cc) statements. I usually call my cc company before leaving and also check with them while I am away. Upon my return I go through all the charges including unposted charges. This protects everyone and avoids problems later.

If I am away on a long trip I check the transactions on line
It has only happened to me once (copied card) but checking every few days can minimise the impact

In two embarassing incidents when I locked myself out of getting into safes in two different hotels (don't ask me how), I saw them come in and simply insert a pin like key underneath or behind the safe to "unlock" it and erase the code I put in.....
I never put money, credit cards or traveler's checks in the safes before (always carried them in a hidden money belt), but the above incidents convinced me even more that there is really no "safe" inside a rented room ANYWHERE....

Sup':
This is why one should always carry traveler checks, and copies of ones passport. Unless you bring your own safe, then it would be safe to assume that the ones in ANY hotel are not that secure. But, then again, I would not really worry about things gettin stolen especially in Thailand. Thai people tend to be very honest and if one of the hotel staff does steal something, they know that they will get into trouble and possibly lose their job. And with the economy the way it is, their job is more important then stealing some money or items from the hotel guest. Of course, if you leave $50,000 lying around on the table, then you are stupid!! ha ha ha !!!
I have never had a problem with theft and I leave my laptop on the table, as well as at times, up to 5,000 baht in different demonations on the table. And, neither the staff or any female I've brought back to the room has even taken anything or even touched anything. Infact, I left 1,000 baht bill on the bed for a tip for the maid since I had not tipped her the day before and the room as a complete mess since we had a party the night before. She did not take the money and placed it on the night stand next to the bed. The next day I made it a point to thank her and handed her the money!! Talk about being honest!!

i always want to reward the maid for cleaning my room.
most times i get a thai girl to write a note from me saying i am grateful and want them to have this money for doing the good things.
more then once the money would be untouched.
i had to go looking for the maids and give it to them personally.
luckily for me and them,they lived on-site and after explanations(which sometimes are hard)they took the money.
where i stay,all the staff live there and i get to know them all,deep down they are all good people.
i may not ask the staff out,but i try to take them to reception and buy them a drink or a meal everynow and then.
treat them good and your room will be taken care of.
