Will I have to lift my bulbs?

I live in the tropics and I thought I'd give growing lilies a go. I planted a few asiatic lily bulbs in a large container (for good drainage). What I want to know is, because I live in the tropics, will I have to lift the bulbs after all the leaves die down? If I leave them in they will have to endure lots of heat, very high humidity and almost constant rain for three months and I think they would just rot. Is it possible to lift them and store them somewhere cool inside in a bit of moist (not wet) peat moss just like how they came in the packet when I bought them?

I realise the chance of failure is very high but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained and I really love lilies.
