RIP Ubon Joe - ASEAN NOW visa expert
Jingthing replied to Rimmer's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Maybe premature to mention this, but his passing has made me think of the people in the future that would have had his help, who will make mistakes (sometimes very consequential) that he would have steered them away from. Sure others will step up with advice but it won't be at Ubon Joe level -

Say it ain't so, Ubon Joe. Truly the gold standard of Thai visa immigration advice. Nobody else ever came close or ever will. He helped so many people clarify very confusing issues including me. He was brilliant in the art of brevity. Where others may ramble on and on he often summed things up in a short sentence that totally did the job He wisely never engaged in messy bickering fests but if people needed the final definitive resolution of a controversy he would eventually state it and you could be highly confident he was right . His passing leaves a black hole in the core mission of this forum. AI won't be able to fill it. Truly the end of an era.- 379 replies

Enough with the gaslighting. It's incredibly tedious. -

Perhaps he just hasn't been informed of those facts up till now. That can happen to people that are in a news bubble. -

But it's really not that black and white because the apps carry different restaurants. Lots of overlap of course, but also many that are just on one. If you're really into food (as I am) you don't limit yourself to one app. I am also on Lineman basically because it's the only (non-Chinese) app that has one of my favorite restaurants. -
I was half joking but why not treat adults as adults? Restrict access to youth as much as reasonably possible but one fact can't be denied -- weed is much less dangerous than legal alcohol. But I do think there is some value in honest education programs that really give the facts, because some people incorrectly think there are no dangers to weed and the other side is unhinged reefer madness. Not just say no, more like just think about it, and if you do it, try for some middle path moderation.

Indeed. Another thing. The friends report a sudden death. An asthma death would typically be preceeded by a long spell of heavy wheezing (time to get to a hospital). -

Winter Boy (English title) Very good but short of a must see. A film with important gay characters but not a gay movie. Universal themes. Serious French cinema. https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/film/winter-boy-london-film-festival-review-juliette-binoche-b1030918.html -

Nah. It's not too late. It's a welcome upgrade anytime. The convenience of delivery food is very popular globally. It's not going away. Also when you consider the costs here to get delivery vs. some other countries particularly the USA, it's a massive bargain here. -

Tragic of course. Before assuming it was a fatal asthma attack, keep in mind that the fact that he had asthma medications means he had been successfully treating himself with them most likely for many years. It should be considered but not even close to conclusive. -

I've been using Grab for years without this feature (without Thai).
