October 18, 201114 yr Hello, Just wondering if AA Insure is still in business? Purchased a policy on 20 September 2011. Still have not received my Hard Copy of the policy. So I stoped by last week to pick it up but the office was closed with no message on the door. Figured they were out to lunch. So I e-mailed... last week and No Reply. So I e-mailed again this week and still NO Reply. Then I called and NO Answer. Just wondering if anyone has information if something is up or they just went on Vacation and forgot to leave a Message on the office door. Thanks.
October 18, 201114 yr I too am waiting on a policy card for my health insurance. I'm travelling from tomorrow, and have had no response, and it was shut yesterday when I tried to visit the office...
October 18, 201114 yr Was yesterday when I spoke to them - for email address try : info "at" aainsure.net - as I know Gary has problems in his office at times
October 18, 201114 yr I also went by there twice last week to look into some travel insurance. Both times a note on the door said something about a staff meeting. They must have very long staff meetings. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in potential customers. David
October 18, 201114 yr I've always found the best way to communicate with them is through their Chonburi office. They will reply immediately. Also if you need a policy or card or something sent to you, they will send it to you by post.
October 18, 201114 yr Yes thanks for the info. Hope Gary is well soon. Enough to cause a panic a little. But am reassured now.
October 19, 201114 yr I recently got insurance through AA at the Chonburi office at this email address: [email protected]
October 19, 201114 yr I recently got insurance through AA at the Chonburi office at this email address: [email protected] Peter is the guy who will get things done. He has been there since the very beginning.

He has been there since the very beginning. Check out things with Gary and you may be in for a surprise. Apparently the company has changed hands and Peter is out of the loop as a partner.

October 20, 201114 yr Peter is the owner of AA insurance and a smart man.

November 2, 201114 yr An email from staff at AA insure today confirmed Gary is no longer working with AA Insure at Mee Chok Plaza.
November 2, 201114 yr I would recommend anyone doing business with them to deal directly with the Chonburi office. Mistakes are often made at the C.M. office and it usually takes many, many weeks to receive policies from them.
November 15, 201114 yr Anyone know what happened to Gary ? What is the sate of confidence with AA Insurance now that he's gone ? Anybody speak with the new CM representative yet ? I use BUPA Blue Cross but am thinking of some comparison shopping as my policy comes up for renewal next month.
November 16, 201114 yr Anyone know what happened to Gary ? What is the sate of confidence with AA Insurance now that he's gone ? Anybody speak with the new CM representative yet ? I use BUPA Blue Cross but am thinking of some comparison shopping as my policy comes up for renewal next month. AA is still open for business and the new office manager speaks good English. I don't know the details but there has been some kind of shake up in the ownership or management resulting in the changes reported here. I went along to the office last week and picked up the paperwork on an existing policy and they had it waiting for me with no problems. Gary has moved to a new company called Chiang Mai Insurance - take the spaces out of the name and put a dot com after for their website. As an aside, why is it that so many people who run businesses largely dependent on confidence and stability don't think to manage change in any kind of sensitive way? A simple email to existing customers and an announcement on this forum would have prevented any discussion of closure - who wants to deal with a company where the office closes without explanation?
November 16, 201114 yr As I have a policy coming up for renewal, I e-mailed Peter this morning on the form provided on their web site. He responded immediately, saying that a new person is being recruited (no mention of office manager - perhaps he thought that obvious). Anyway, he says the it's business as usual, although one employee has gone elsewhere. Since I hold two policies for motorized two-wheelers, plus the car, it's good to know that there will be an agent in town to call if an accident happens.
November 16, 201114 yr ^^ RE:'As an aside, why is it that so many people who run businesses largely dependent on confidence and stability don't think to manage change in any kind of sensitive way? A simple email to existing customers and an announcement on this forum would have prevented any discussion of closure - who wants to deal with a company where the office closes without explanation?' Why didn't Gary, who pocketed the commission, email or call his clients? Totally unprofessional. And he probably expects those clients to come running to him in his new chair.

Who is in charge/owner of this insurance company (Chiang Mai Insurance)?
December 20, 201114 yr Check the Thai language version of the latest Chiang Mai Post, page 23, the inside of the last page, for an interesting notice by AA Insurance Brokers.
December 20, 201114 yr Check the Thai language version of the latest Chiang Mai Post, page 23, the inside of the last page, for an interesting notice by AA Insurance Brokers. For those of us not able to get this paper could you give us a hint?...
December 20, 201114 yr Meanwhile, I just received a phone call from Aa Insurance regarding one of my vehicle policies here in CM. Discussed it and another - all normal business.
December 20, 201114 yr AA should post their notice here as well as page 23 of the CM Post Edited December 20, 201114 yr by Loaded
December 23, 201114 yr There is a legal notice in The Chiang Mai Post (Dec. 16- 31 issue) that Gary Newitt is no longer representing them and that they are taking legal action against him for theft of clients insurance premiums. They have filed charges with the police.
