Loosing 4 credit cards in less than a month

I am travelling with 2 credit cards. To avoid being without credit card if I loose one. However, the last month I have in praxis been without credit card at all.
First, I got both my credit cards robbed in Bangkok. This was because one of my credit cards was over the monthly limit that day, so I exceptionally brought both credit cards when I was robbed.
I immediately asked for two new credit cards of course. One was sent to me and arrived after 2 weeks. However, somebody had snapped the credit card number while being sent with DHL, so after 1 week, it was blocked. So now I am without credit card again. The other credit card never showed up at my address in Denmark, so it must have been stolen with the Postal services in Denmark. So this replacement card is now being blocked also. A new one may arrive in 1-2 weeks. How unlucky can you be? Loosing 4 credit cards in one months due to robbery, theft by postal system and someone in DHL snapping your credit card details? It is certainly not easy to travel around without credit card. You cannot withdraw money, you cannot order hotels, plane tickets, train etc. You cannot move anywhere and you cannot stay since you cannot pay your bills. I am having sent the many credit cards down here with courier again, hoping that they will show up in a week or two. And hoping that I not loose even more credit cards this month.

In the meantime I started hating postal services, DHL, banks etc, who are so strict in their rules and postal services seem to be hacker / theft companies rather than delivery companies...
