I have seen people walking arround the beaches in Phuket with white barrels. It will be alright, just bring along your heavy monopod just in case somebody holpdup you, then it will serve a different purpose.

I think you best not go. Canon users are severely disadvantaged because of their precious L lenses are just too eye-catching. Thieves have long been trained to spot the white barrels from a distance of 2 kilometres (after all, how can you miss them?). Also beware, but Canon's white lenses also have a tendancy to explode on contact with heat, hence their special colouring.
Stay home.

they will never pay ya e full amt... i got robbed abt SGD 1000 in BAngkok... and my insurance only paid mi 400SGD.. somehow i believe they got a MAX to giveOriginally posted by Newman
I think insurance does cover theft and would probably cover the cost of the equipment depending on how old they are. I understand from NTUC's that the insurance basically covers 5 yrs and with each year you can only collect 20% less of the preceding year's value of the equipment. So if you lose it at the 1st yr, you can claim 100% but at the 5th year it's only 20%. But your equipment can qualify for insurance only if it's less than 6 months old.

Perhaps 1 body, and 1 zoom lens will allow you to enjoy yourself more? After all, what is the point of a trip but to see, learn and enjoy, rather than worry about valuables and heavy equipment? Unless you are shooting on assignment then that is another story.
If you think security and personal safety is an issue, then best is to go light.
