| From practicing the law to
appraising gemstones and scuba diving in some of the most remote spots on
the planet, David Glickman has led a rich and varied existence in his seven
decades on planet Earth. Mr. Glickman is a founding member of the TCCC and he was an executive board member from 1994-96. Indeed, the law firm he is affiliated with, Natee International, initially registered the TCCC. David attended Hastings Law School in San Francisco which is part of the University of California. After graduation, he opened his own general practice in San Francisco, and worked there from 1955-65. “I would contact established law firms and take their cats and dogs,” he says. “There was one family firm of very devout Catholics who wouldn’t handle divorces, so they would refer them to me. I had worked for a federal judge for a year and I knew the federal system, which most lawyers do not learn unless they have some reason to, so I received referrals from lawyers who didn’t want to bother learning the ins and outs of federal law.” So why did he originally come to Thailand? “A client of mine hired me to come here. He was in the minerals field and he was being offered some tin mining deals. He wanted to make sure that people had the legal rights to mineral properties. |
“So I got a paid visit to Thailand, and was very charmed. Even Bangkok was
a charming city back in 1965 as it didn’t have the heavy traffic or air pollution
it does now. When I went back to San Francisco, I hadn’t thought of coming
to live in Thailand but my client had decided to go ahead with one of the
deals and since I was so attracted to Thailand, he asked if I would help him
for a while. “I really feel that Thai people are nicer than other people. That was one of the first things that struck me when I first came to Thailand, and I still feel that way more than thirty years later. They are very hospitable. If you are near any of them while they are eating, they will always offer you their food. I have visited a few other countries in the region, and I have found a resentment towards Westerners, but the Thais never seem to feel that. I think it really does make a difference that Thailand was never colonized.
