PhuketRichard. I totally see where you are coming from: if I knew who had stolen the money, I'd have had no hesitation in posting the the place: name and shame. However, since I was so lax, I'm not sure who it was, so it'd be unfair to give two of the three businesses a bad reputation if they had nothing to do with it.
My stuff was kept in a money belt, though no lock. Lordhelmchem99: It just so happened that in the last week, my bank halved my credit limit to 2000 pounds on my Mastercard. I found out the same day that I realised the money had gone. Called the bank (who were useless.....Clydesdale is a load of pish). Turns out they'd barred my card since my Dad had forgotten to pay a bill on my behalf for suits in Vietnam in May. I hardly use the thing: not really a believer of credit....it's only for emergencies, and the odd suit!!! So, it's clear because my Dad was a bit of a thicko.....bit of luck, eh? Not even I could use it!
Cheers for the tips folks, and be on your guard. Don't want to be a numpty like me...

Guess it's kind of like closing the barn door after the horse is allready out. If you're really not sure where it happened you'll have to just chalk this one up as one of your future travel tips to keep in mind for next time.
Other then the unhappy ending I hope you at least enjoyed the rest of your holiday in Thailand.
