Several furniture shops in Hua Hin have a range of sizes, they are not hard to find.
For what it is worth I would advise to stay away from the type that includes an electronic keypad and lock. I had one and it swallowed my bank books, credit cards, passport etc., and, after much effort, I took to it with a hammer and opened it in about 2 minutes. I have a bigger one in Bangkok that just has a combination lock and key, and it has never been a problem.

Are all of them fireproof or is there some symbol to look for when shopping for them?

I think that the one I have (Leeco), has an English spec sheet with it, not sure as I am not in HH at the moment. I seem to remember some reference to the fire rating. A couple of the furniture shops going north on Petchkasem Rd have them, as does Index Mall.

Big Kiang electrical supplies nearly opposite market village had a decent range last time I looked - cheaper than Home Pro I'm sure

Don't go too small, you'll be surprised how quick they can fill up.

From experience, don't go too small or with the bolt to a closet/drawer type. Kamoys will simply carry the whole thing away, or tear it off of whatever it's bolted to, except perhaps a concrete floor/wall.

The other problem is that if you go too big and heavy, you then have 6-8 delivery boys who know you have a safe and where it is located.

I guess you're not even safe when you think you have a safe in a safe place?
