I know you were just kidding but I had wanted to post all this and was waiting for a suitable topic.

And this was my US Government Certification as referenced in the above post

That and the temples of course Well not so much temples but before and after moving to Thailand I was skilled volunteer (with US Government certification) at under NGO under the patronage of (the then) HM the King assisting disadvantaged populations. But with your 'temple' line above are you suggesting BS that Thai femaledom did not enter the equation? Of course it did. But I had been in SE Asia working for about 15 years before moving to Thailand so I was well familiar with the place. So I'm going to post this now that it was almost 20 years ago. This was my "Dear Jerry" letter as I had made the mistake of asking them to supply me with a formal visa which they had absolutely no intention to do. So letter was Thanks for your help; now go away. But I continued to informally help some of their top students with obtaining academic scholarships both domestic and international. But not like living in USA would I ever have an experience like this.

Post redux Been in Thailand 18 years now and, while certainly there are the financial advantages, I came here for the anonymity. People became very intrusive in US as to who you are, what do you do, and the 'can this person help me more than I can help them' equation. Here in a Thailand, nobody much cares who you are unless you want people to know who you are.

Well presuming this is a case in a Thai court, this is the standard on a Thai insurer application: WARNING: Office of Insurance Commission (OIC.) The applicant should disclose all the facts you know. Any nondisclosure shall make the policy issued hereunder voidable. The Company has the right to void the contract according the Civil Commercial Code Section 865. So just from the above, the insurance company could say you knew about such pre-exiting conditions. You just chose not to disclose ALL of them. But since this is a WrLife topic, their application form states: MEDICAL PREEXISTING CONDITIONS (IF ANY): past or present sickness, past surgery, medicine taken: NB: with no time reference i.e. last 5 or 10 years Personally, I had no problem with the above from WrLife as I had just completed a life insurance application at age 70 (accepted) where I provided a medical history going back to arthroscopic knee surgery in 1998.

So just from the above info, the case may involve a claim denied by the insurer, while the broker assured the policy holder the claim, for that type occurrence, would be covered.

Why -- the real stunners in Isaan don't leave Isaan. They don't have to. While Isaan is low per capita income, there are pockets of extreme wealth in Isaan and the stunners know it.
