Popular Post itsari Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Ubon Joe as I new him on Thai Visa and now Asia Now was a man I had respect for . His knowledge on the Thai Immigration rules was deep and varied . He was of great help to myself on a number of times and once quite recently . He also came over as a gentleman in my view . A comment i have made to people over many years is I only have faith in comments made from Ubon Joe . Now he is gone and there are a few that can well take over from him yet i think it will take some time for that to happen . Sorry to know of your death Joe 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eeworldwide Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Joe was a great example to us all. He was calm, collected and measured and TOOK TIME to respond to questions, allaying the fears of many. He seemed to be a genuinely upright and good fellow. He helped me enormously and always responded in a timely polite manner, giving me the information I needed without any clever snarky remarks, so often associated with ASEAN NOW/THAI VISA members (not all - but many) May he RIP and God bless his surviving family. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John Drake Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Thanks for putting up the expanded OP, including the picture and more details about Ubon Joe.

ravip Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) I was shocked to hear about this very sad news just now, while reading another thread.

khunken Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Very sad news indeed. There are tears in my eyes. He helped me numerous times to navigate the visa rigmarole with direct answers to questions and often from posts already made to help others.

off road pat Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Rest In Peace Ubon Joe, you where a great wealth of information and one of the very rare people one could surely bank on any information you gave. "Asian Now" will never be the same anymore. My sincere condolences to family and friends ! You really will be missed. Best regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyB Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Really sad news. I had already missed his sage advice and information. I'm one of those he helped swiftly, effectively and in a friendly way, who never rose to any bait and seemed to have eternal patience. I always wondered who the man was behind the handle 'Ubon Joe' and what motivated him. I was actually on the verge of asking in the forum what was up, because I'd noticed his absence recently with Dr. Jack fielding all of the visa balls bouncing all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bim Smith Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Devastated to here this news. In addition to helping me through the years with advice Joe helped me in my deepest darkest hour during the pandemic. I was at an absolute low and that one message of reassurance with a visa issue lifted me no end. Rest in Peace Joe. I will never forget you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arithai12 Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 Everything has been said already by so many, but I want to add my voice. I admired UJ not only for his immense knowledge of all things IMM and his kind willingness to help so may others, but also for his style, never confrontational. A rare gem on this forum. May he rest in peace, and all the best to his relatives in US and Thailand. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
