is the best thing to do so you can't lose it all at once. I have been to Bali maybe 16 times now and never robbed. I did have a guy pull a fast one counting Rupiah when exchanging dollars but after catching him he said he wouldnt change the money. His rate was too good to be true. I've used reception and room safes no problem.
But I think the best is to make your own diversion safes. Also, make your own body carriers for cash and cards, just think something up and have a tailor make it for you, around your upper arm, waits, leg. If you're robbed at gun or knife point one of the first things they do is take your belt.
