Depends on where you go, when you go there, who you go with, and what you do.

I would feel completely comfortable wearing either watch under that scenario.

A steel sports watch will be OK a solid gold day date is another story

[aboutime]

Given how prolific counterfeits are in that region, most will probably think you acquired it at the local street market. Tourist police are fairly prevalent in the more densely populated areas. You’ll be fine.

Ok thanks everyone
I was planning to bring both to attach memories too that’s why I asked but yes I agree.. should be fine

I would only take one anyway, the hotel safes are shit and wouldn't fancy leaving anything of high value in them, high end hotel or not

Be careful of the lady boys, they will want more than your watch

To be fair though, they offer a bit more.

Now that sir is gold

Of course you are going to pattaya for the beaches! Seriously, you should be fine, everyone there has a rolex-mostly fake-but I've got friends there that wear real with no issues. If you do invite new friends back to your room, don't leave nothing lying around

I'd give Pattaya a swerve altogether, and go somewhere nice, like Krabi.

I agree Pattaya is not a nice place. The grooming of young boys and girls visible in public is quite disgusting.

i've never in all my 27 years of travelling and for a while living there witnessed that... still I suppose it all depends on where you hang out

Have a great trip

I would wear a Seiko or G-Shock and not have any issues or worry. When in doubt, there is no doubt. Skip an expensive watch.

[csaltphoto]

I've been thinking about a trip to the Philippines. I have a friend there and was asking if it was safe to wear a Rolex. She had a great response and I'll paraphrase but it went something like this, "Anywhere we go you would be completely safe. But leave your expensive watch at home so you don't worry about it. You don't even need a watch. You're on vacation."

Went last July...completely fine...went to Siargao...wearing the Pepsi everywehere and it was fine...
As anywhere, just be aware thats all....

Bangkok is very safe. I’ve enjoyed pm watches without stress

[IS2000]

You will be fine with any of those watches in Bangkok. Watches are usually not targeted since there are so many counterfeit ones around. I’d however be prepared if getting questioned at the custom for bringing in multiple watches into the country.

VERY interesting...didnt think about it

Maybe just the 116500 Black one should be suff

[SLWoodster]

Upgrade to a black dial 4 digit Daytona. Nobody would bother you.

I lived in Pattaya for a year and worked there and can say I had my Sub on the entire time never an issue
