I would advise nearly the exact opposite. Carrying up to 10k baht isn't really that big of a deal as long as you keep it in a few different pockets, don't wave it around like drunken fool, and keep to the main areas in Patong. Withdraw as much as you need every day or two -- the extra cost for any extra withdrawal fees etc. can be considered as an insurance payment. No way in the world would I leave a large amount of cash in ANY in-room safe in ANY hotel. A few valuables etc. okay, but I wouldn't put your family jewels in there!
