Samui airport to Maenam. Max 11 km, 100 + max 200 = 300.

(what are the "first couple"?)

Haha.

When I took a taxi (July 2020) there was no word of meter.

700 Baht flat.

In 2016 taxi from the southern end of Chaweng lake to the Samui International Hospital (2.5km) was 200 baht.

However I just checked with Grab BigC Chaweng - Nathon Pier - 186 baht, which looks very good, but not sure if it would be the real price if I take the ride 555

Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · 2 hours ago2 hr

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

The True State of the Iran Bombing Campaign

Yagoda · 35 minutes ago35 min

Anybody care to get out of their bubble and read a reasoned analysis of the present conflict. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/3/16/the-us-israeli-strategy-against-iran-is-working-here-is-why Im sure this will degenerate into the usual Trump deranged nonsense, probably because the analysis is unimpeachable "But the critics are making a different error: They are treating the costs of action as if the costs of inaction were zero. They were not. They were measured in the slow accretion of

Dutch Jews Come Under Attack; Two Incidents in Two Days

Evil Penevil · Sunday at 11:06 AM2 days

Two separate Jewish institutions have come under bomb or arson attack in the Netherlands. Luckily, no one was injured. Attacks on Jewish schools and synagogues appear to be rising at an alarming rate. Explosion rocks Amsterdam Jewish school in what mayor says is ‘targeted attack’ against Jewish community An explosion struck overnight at a Jewish school in Amsterdam in what the city’s mayor called a “targeted attack against the Jewish community.” The blast hit the outer wall of the school, loca

Mavideol · yesterday at 10:11 AM1 day

this is the joke of the year, the guy started the war with Israel help, didn't consult with anybody, didn't share any information thus no advise was given to him, he didn't prepare for any counter measure that could happen, like the closure of the strait of Hormuz, since he started it on it's own Nato members have nothing to do with it, guess what is his latest decision???? I know it's laughable, he said if the Nato allies don't help him overtaking the strait, they will face a very bad future BT

What about the "nuclear capabilities" of the Iran? Silence.

swissie · 11 minutes ago11 min

I thought that the destruction of the "nuclear capabilities" of the Iran was a major goal to start this war. As I gather, everything is being bombarded, including Teheran where there are no nuclear developpement sites. Eliminating important "officials" that can be replaced in no time at all. Never hear about "eliminating nuclear capabilities" of the Iran. Or are my newssources failing me?

Just because you have not noticed side effects (yet), it doesn't mean there is no risk. The problem with sleeping pills is that you will need to take them forever and ever and ever. And maybe at some point you will need medications for other health issues. Then you need to be careful mixing it with other medications.

Israel: The Purge, only a matter of scale

unblocktheplanet · 35 minutes ago35 min

The Purge [Opinion. Are the Israeli apologists on this forum now going to tell us that, oh, no, you can’t compare Israeli atrocities to Nazi atrocities. To see those who agree with me, please see my previous post. If you don’t find this sickening, you’re incurably mentally ill. What do these young hooligan police and soldiers tell their families? “How was your day, Honey?””Oh, I was over in Tamoun and shot a couple kids in the head. Wash my uniform tomorrow, eh.” THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT NAZIS D

Comparing Israel to the Nazis is only a matter of scale

unblocktheplanet · 4 hours ago4 hr

I have been criticised on this forum for my post “The Purge” as antisemitic. I don’t take that lightly as it is a baseless lie. I express my opinions freely and they are fervently anti-Israeli. We should all seek to right the wrongs of this world no matter who is making them. We as humans have a right to speak out again injustice, and worse. Injustice is not religion. Comparing Netanyahu to the leader of the Nazi regime is accurate. Netanyahu should be ashamed to call himself a Jew. Comparing I

Samson Option: Will Arab countries take retribution on Israel?

GammaGlobulin · 5 hours ago5 hr

Dear Folks, People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra. I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind. I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future. Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also reta
