They don’t have an office in Bangkok. If they did, they would have to be regulated here, so they will avoid that like the plague. They use an independent third party here, Assist International Services (AIS) who act as an agent with some services. If I remember correctly, AIS is owned by a guy who was struck-off and forbidden to be a company director for a few years because he was a naughty boy.

I have bought several pairs of the attached photo for 1,200 baht each from GMEI Optical Store on AliExpress. All titanium memory frames, hi-index photochromic lenses, gold frame going brown, silver frame going black, lenses going pink, going purple and going blue in the sun. Progressive lenses add up to another 1,500 baht. You don’t need to pay Thai prices.

We've been away for 11 days, mostly in Pattaya, a nostalgia trip. There's been a lot of rain in that time, about 6" judging from a lake here. We don't have to worry about flooding here, we're on a lake with a 12" overflow pipe to a canal. In the last 13 years, we've only reached the overflow pipe once and that was last year. We're 6" away already so I reckon it's 50/50 Chiang Rai will flood again this year.

You can come and do mine next

I just paid 1,200 baht for titanium memory frameless glasses with prescription hi-index photochromic lenses on AliExpress. In other words, top of the line.

Unfortunately not, the figures are quoted for the country as a whole. So you’d expect the most populous country (China) to have the most production, and it does.

Unless you take population into account, it’s a meaningless statistic.

Unemployable with face tattoos. You can’t ever let a client or prospect see them or it reflects on you as the business owner.

AI Has this to say about Nevis, with conclusion “individuals should exercise caution when dealing with insurance companies registered there”. Here’s the full text… Registering insurance in Nevis can be perceived as risky due to the island's reputation as an offshore haven and the potential for anonymity it offers, which can be exploited by fraudulent actors. While Nevis has regulations for financial services, including insurance, the secrecy surrounding company ownership and the potential for weak enforcement can make it attractive for scams. Here's why it's viewed with suspicion: Secrecy and Anonymity: Nevis is known for its strong privacy laws, making it difficult to trace beneficial owners of companies. This lack of transparency can be exploited by scammers who want to hide their identities and avoid accountability. Potential for Weak Enforcement: While Nevis has regulatory bodies like the Financial Services Regulatory Commission, the effectiveness of enforcement can be questioned, particularly in cases where fraud occurs. Risk of Fraudulent Schemes: The island's offshore status can attract fraudulent schemes, such as pyramid schemes, unauthorized Forex trading, and other investment scams. Difficulty in Verification: Due to the secrecy, verifying the legitimacy of an insurance company registered in Nevis can be challenging. This makes it harder for individuals to assess the risk associated with such companies. Past Incidents: The Guardian reported that information on numerous Nevisian companies was leaked in the past, highlighting the lack of transparency. While the leaks didn't expose ownership details, they raised concerns about the island's reputation as a haven for secrecy. In conclusion, while Nevis has regulations for insurance, the island's reputation for secrecy and the potential for weak enforcement can make it a target for fraudulent activities, and individuals should exercise caution when dealing with insurance companies registered there.

Not regulated in Thailand = Not safe

I take issue with that. Every grower set up to satisfy the recreational market and Anutin was very clear at the time weed was legalized that recreational use was a big no no. If you were stupid enough to ignore that then I have zero sympathy. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/09/asia/thailand-cannabis-legal-minister-interview-intl-hnk

Proof they are registered in the UK and regulated on the island of Nevis and not in Thailand be enough for you?

What proof would you find acceptable ?

Don't. Instead choose a company regulated by the Thai regulator not a company flying under the radar where you have zero recourse if they don’t pay your claim.
