Really need to send gratitude once again for the services of @ubonjoe—who I do not know, have never met, and have only sought small amounts of advice from—as s/he makes the often-vital querying process regarding immigration-related matters a smooth and reliable process on the forum. Thank you kindly for facilitating this!

Yes, with all the bickering and games here, people often overlook the real service that is provided here in helping so many people with real information and good advice.

Not only in the visa forum and not only from Ubonjoe, but yes, he's a top star for sure.

The site is obviously a commercial for profit enterprise but in that context it still provides help of real value to many for no cost but to have to look at adverts.

That is my understanding too!

Good advice for sure, but not for free surely.

Interesting. Are you charged a fee for your membership? Yes, I get what you're saying abstractly, but nobody is forcing anyone to participate here.

Oh well, I am not experiencing a cost, so if something has been mined or exploited without my knowledge, I can live with that.

Id like to say thanks to UbonJoe as well

Me too!!!

I agree Ubonjoe is great and has a tremendous knowledge about this swamp called immigration in Thailand.

 

regarding the other posting about not being free, of course real bullshit and nothing more, for us it is 100% free of course...

I Agree too, if ever I use thai visa for what it was intended for. Visa info I will always search for ubon joes posts first, no BS straight to the point information without wading through tons of dross. Keep it up Joe/.

Other people provide good information as well, especially about specific current things happening in specific provincial offices. But when there is doubt or controversy, Ubonjoe is usually there to settle it. Priceless (free).

Maybe you missed my point. I  meant some people get paid to post here while others do it out of the goodness of their heart. Arkady is one of those that I can think of.

I's like to add my thanks as well

Me 2 Thanks UJ

I am friends with the former owner and know who gets paid. personally I hate the having to wait ten seconds to be able to load a page. UJ, great knowledge, agreed.

Owners, please don't make us watch some radio show. These kind of things are what is making members go elsewhere.
