  1. Is there an idiotic question of the year category on the forum? I'd like to nominate this thread.
  2. https://xrc-motorcycle-driving-school.com/course/ I haven't attended myself but an acquaintance has and he liked it.
  3. No, hotels are not more expensive than Paris, class for class, irrelevant though that is. Obviously Evian is cheaper in France being that it's a French product. What did you expect? Go price a papaya or a mango.
  4. I used to use motion garage Bkk when I had an older BMW. Reasonably competent and also do Project 'A remaps and other tuning. Out of curiosity, which Alfa do you have? I still have a couple of 105's back home and wish I had them here!
  5. Ain't no trains in Nakhon Phanom province. Both the iron horse and ol' nosey must be elsewhere.
  6. I wonder how much America saves via a proxy war. Also do you not think American companies will have a hand in earnings from reconstruction just as they do from this little war? As to how much it costs, at the end of the day, that's the price we pay to maintain our position.
  7. Exactly so. Ukraine is going to need a massive rebuilding effort once all is said and done. As for the hashtag, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAFO_(group). I hope that does not contravene any AN posting guidelines.
  8. Sure Ukraine wants peace. It wants peace with all its territory back including Crimea, war reparations for rebuilding the country, war crimes proceedings, etc. As long as the West does not get fatigued... #NAFO
  9. This was back in June and just what they told me at the hospital when I last visited so it might we'll have changed.
  10. No problem! Yeah, not much info at all and all I could dig up was not the most positive. Unfortunate as it is real tempting.
  11. By the way, Bumrungrad does not accept WR for direct billing. I did find out, it being my hospital of choice.
  12. My pleasure and the best of luck to you.
  13. They're related to the Thonburi Group. Their experience with insurance is via Assist International (also mostly owned by the Thonburi Group), which assist other insurance companies as an interface with Thai hospitals and are seemingly majority owned by the same people. Registered in England, yes, Thai ownership.
  14. Certainly, but the reason OPEC can do that is because demand is relatively inelastic. So, essentially, it is still the market that sets the price in relation to supply, not the companies. A company's job is to make money. I do agree with you, though, that supply is manipulated and I am no fan of pipelines.
  15. The potential for one, yes. But then there should be no complaints about gas prices, energy costs, etc. when oil prices go up. That's the cost of being environmentally friendly.
  16. Yes, wildly money grubbing. They spend the most for lobbying, by far. Oil's a poor 5th in that regard. Better from a stockholder's perspective, of course. Until they need healthcare that their insurance does not cover.
  17. Yup. Obama yanked the permits and Trump reinstated them. TC Energy gave up on the project once Biden yanked the permits again. Sure, it was mostly oil for export but that does have a price impact.
  18. He's obviously referring to KXL.
  19. UnAmerican? Very American to maximize profits for shareholders just as God and McKinsey intended. I'm not complaining.
  20. Firstly, in all likelihood, this one was the offspring of several generations of captive bred birds. Secondly, you expect it to fly to Venezuela to "find its people"?
  21. The only guarantee for the solar system is that the sun will go through the following: a red giant then a white dwarf then a black dwarf. In other words, any guarantees are hit or miss at best even with the company in business.
  22. Not yet but hopefully that will be rectified in the not too distant future????
  23. It isn't a matter of current owners or not, it is more a matter of intended use. Take your EV to Tak>Umphang>Mae Sariang and do a bit of sightseeing and head to Khun Yuam and tell us how you got along. Take a run up in the provinces and don't hit the major cities and it is the same problem; charging stations are only available in the provincial capitals. Yes, they're fine for running around in the city and for going city to city along the main highways (as long as you don't mind lengthy "refueling" stops). Anything else and they're far too compromised in their (and the infrastucture's) present state. That's not to say that the OP will not get along fine with an EV; their usage seems to fit the profile well. As for cost effectiveness, that's open to debate upon considering depreciation. For the record, I'm not anti-EV. I'm just pro-convenience (for my usage).
