Does anyone know if they have lockers available where you can leave your case.

I usually go via Singapore, but I'm travelling through KLM via Manila in July and I have a couple of hours to kill from Phuket to Bangkok then Bangkok Amsterdam, UK. So I might try a couple of hours at Eden if i can stash my case.

Advice welcome.

Between Terminals 1 and 2 there is a left luggage facility but it's quite expensive at 70B per piece per day (it is more expensive if used for over 3 months). Left luggage lockers aren't available, but bags are checked in at a counter. It's regarded as being pretty safe but it's worth bringing locks for your bags as they aren't provided. It's a bit risky to leave anything too valuable there.

There is also a left luggage facility in the domestic terminal as well

70 baht a day is expensive??

Anyway, I have used the left luggage service many times over the years and found it to be very safe and convenient, both at the Domestic and International terminals.

would something like a laptop be very risky to leave in one of these lockers?

Honestly saying this is a thing I would NEVER

do in any airport anywhere in the world.
Just carry it with You, then You know where is Your valuable information. Or alternatively leave it at home (what I never do, because in Phuket now already WiFi hotspots are quite common and it is good to have guaranteed personal communication ability).

I even succeed to find a hotel in Karon Beach, what advertises WiFi inroom service : http://www.hotel-mermaid.com/rooms.htm , goes without saying which hotel I have booked for my next duty visit
