In Appreciation of the Notorious UBJ...

[Ramen087]

I'm talking about Ubon Joe of course.  Just wanted to point out his seemingly endless patience with a nervous newbie {me, and others, I'm sure} and that his deep knowledge is invaluable. 

He freely shares what he knows {which is very detailed and accurate} again and again, putting fears to rest and preparing members to easily tackle tasks related to the world of Thai Immigration.

This has made ex-pat's lives and soon-to-be ex-pats transition much easier, allowing us to assimilate into Thai society and its ways with aplomb. It's like having you own personal advisor. 

 

So, if you agree, just hit the like button. Or, if you want to drop a "thank you", that's cool too.

 

As for me I'll just say: "UBJ, thanks for the advice you have given, are giving now, and will give in the future".

I was at Pathumthani Immigration yesterday and there was a man and his wife asking some questions to the immigration officers to which they weren't really giving him any helpful information. When I seen him and his Thai wife outside, I told them if they have any questions about immigration in Thailand they should go to Thai Visa forum and follow the advise of Ubon Joe.

...and I know why you did exactly that.

I vote for Ubon Joe to be Minister of Immigration as everything would be soooo smooth!

 

Many thanks Joe!

UBJ is an invaluable resource.  no doubt about it.

If this website excels anywhere it's in it's 'specialist' areas as highlighted in this thread. Well done TV and Thank you Ubon Joe 

 

(I don't give praise easily; You might like to have this framed!)

[VBF]

I'll add my thanks to UbonJoe who has answered several of my daft questions over time. 

[baneko]

Helped me with many questions for myself and others. My first Non O Multi from Savan 3 yrs ago was simple due to his advice. He must have the patience of a saint.

[jeab1980]

[PJPom]

Ubon Joe is The Best :)

[MJCM]

UBJ is great and knows his stuff, but also don't forget his predecessor @lopburi3

[YetAnother]

Where does he find the time and the patience?

[colinchaffers]

He is a great credit to us farang

[YetAnother]

I am a contributing member in some more local forums and their 'experts' are WAY behind joe

[Andrew Dwyer]

He's helped me immensely.
Also corrected my mistakes, with the upmost patience, when I've tried to help others by giving some shaky advice .

Thanks UBJ !!

[Ubonquest]

Ubonjoe sticks with me, giving me answers and suggestions without being asked. I will always be grateful. Thank you.

[Upnotover]

Notorious?

[fullofmax]

Helped me several times as well.

Thank you so much !

[holy cow cm]

The only great moderator on Immigration Thai visa now. I always thank him for his knowledge and help.  

[Cuchulainn]

Has helped me a lot too over the years. I'd like to give an honorable mention to Lopburi 3 as well, if I may.

 

Thanks boys.

+1. @lopburi3 was THE guy to ask before he "retired" from the Visa forum and UJ took over.

 

And talking about "other sub forum" moderators. @Crossy gets my vote also. Very knowledgeable and very friendly !

It's a play on words.... The Notorious B.I.G. or even The Notorious R.B.G. 

[james.d]

Agreed, Thank you Joe for your patience and very knowledgeable input.

 

Cheers.

[CharlotteQ]

I too, am very grateful for UBJ's help as well as everyone else's on this board. As a hopeless newbie I can't tell you how much it means to me to have your advice to guide me through this difficult time in my life!

[gilo]

As someone who was dealing with an extremely long overstay in 2014 (11 years), UJ gave simple, straightforward and accurate advice and did so in a wholly nonjudgemental manner. A gentleman and a scholar...thank you.
