  1. Yes, that's the one with the Golf. There is a companion written piece, as well; my preferred format.
  2. That is helpful, do you have places where that kind of research is published, the other requirement will be that the exact tyre models are available in Thailand. Yes, improvements do exist, certainly. As for tire testing data, https://www.tyrereviews.com/ is my usual go to. In fact, I remember now they did a test on exactly what you're planning to do a few years ago, a direct comparison between different rim diameters.
  3. Both the profile ratio (obviously) as well as the tire (tread pattern, construction, compound) are at least partly responsible for the NVH and comfort characteristics of a vehicle. Given that you will keep the stock suspension and, given that neither of these vehicles will have a stiff suspension, I'd suggest that any improvements would be marginal, at best. In my opinion, I'd look at tires first, do the research and get tires that are known for their low NVH and high comfort characteristics. BF Goodrich Advantages tend to rate close to the top for both NVH and comfort.
  4. 30% withholding tax on dividends but if you file a W8 BEN, it is reduced to 15%.
  5. Truly despicable. Unfortunately, such actions are so widespread these days and no longer confined to perpetrators from the immigrant community.
  6. No idea which car, but given that size, I'm assuming it has some performance and you're not buying just for looks. I decide which exact tire I want and then look up who officially stocks them from the company's website. Not worth the risk getting them from some random shop. IMHO, of course.
  7. Which makes it neither unique nor particularly special. More special than your run of the mill Datejust, yes. And, yes, you can wear it around with no issues.
  8. That's because only 4% of those employed in the service sector in Thailand have any intelligence. The other AI, Artificial Idiocy, would replace the other 96%.
  9. Neither lithium nor quartz are rare.
  10. It can carry up to 4 missiles. No idea whether the Thai version is armed. Hermes H450.
  11. OKX accept a Thai credit or debit card for P2P transactions.
  12. Having driven the Ranger Raptor and owning a C43, I can tell you the C43 is quicker everywhere and better handling. That said, it isn't a pickup truck and the Raptor is truly impressive for something that heavy and with the aerodynamic properties of a boat. I am sorely tempted as well.
  13. Absolutely. I agree with your opinion 100%.
  14. As a percentage of GDP, US debt is lower than the G7 average (an admittedly skewed metric due to Japan's debt). But yes it does need to slow down its ever increasing accumulation of debt being that as recently as 2001, its debt to GDP ratio was around 40% as opposed to 120+% now.
  15. You're three years too late for your comment to be of any use to the OP... And no it isn't tricky if you follow the process and have the documentation.
  16. Wrong province, Sheryl. He is asking about Nakhon Phanom not Pathom. OP, as @Ombra said, some of the doctors at the main hospital in Nakhon Phanom have a smattering of English as do some at the Mukdahan International Hospital.
  17. Inconsistent bounce and movement. Little to do with the outfield. The pitches are underprepared and freshly laid.
  18. I'm switching to Pacific Prime simply because a close friend uses them and he has had nothing but praise for them. I, too, have found them easy to deal with thus far. Passport Card have been surprisingly good, both with pre-scheduled surgeries as well as with claims for a couple of emergency room visits. That said, they've raised the premium quite randomly and substantially these last three years claiming inflation.
  19. I'm in the process of doing the same, switching to another broker though not AOC, and I will complete the process once I get back to Thailand. The reason for the switch is that I'm not entirely comfortable dealing with the AA office in India to have my questions answered. I've not needed the agent's help with claims so I have no opinion of that. Passport Card/Allianz has been pretty easy to deal with directly.
  20. Depends on the charger type being chosen for the task at hand, does it not? Your argument is both facile and infantile. As expected.
  21. Your response shows that you still delight in using the wrong tool for the job and then blaming the tool rather than admitting that one might, in fact, be a tool.
  22. My wrench didn't work as a screwdriver so I tossed it out and threw a hissy fit as well.
  23. What a ridiculous statement. Want peace in the Middle East (relative peace)? Destroy Iran and all of its proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, et al.
  24. The better ones all have their own workshops. I'd go with Tailor on Ten for slacks and shirts but not for the blazer. I don't like the way they execute the shoulders. Be careful with the lower priced places as the fabric they sell you might not be authentic. Duly does good blazers with well executed shoulders. Prices are dependent, of course, on the fabric you choose.
  25. Yup, I've heard a lot of people have had issues with Bitkub; I haven't. Perhaps it's because they have my tax ID on file. Likewise, have heard good things about Upbit.
