(Comment: Nico Gurian): Henry, I really like this idea. You say you may not be well-informed enough to be confident in your assessment of the problem. Surely this is true (for all of us, as we confront any situation or problem), but I think you are absolutely right in identifying a group of people who really will be in need of lawyering that you can provide. In terms of getting clients for the practice, what do you see as the best networking plan to meet people in that community? Do you think there will be any trust issues on their part?

I also thought the way you used the idea of the "stage" from Leff to explain how elite Thais might feel differently about their counterparts when in the US as opposed to back home in Thailand. This seems to be another example of "splitting" that we all keep coming back to. Do you think it would be possible for the "self" that changes perspectives in US to bring back that same self in Thailand, or is it a permanent disassociation?
