Taxable income threshold amount.
That message has to do with a Thai bank possibly being required to report interest paid to you back to your home country. Years ago I opened an account with KTB. Instead of doing the required FACTA paperwork for the USA they just decided to not pay me any interest.

Full MRI Body Scan opinions
He's talking about which forum section the post is in. Which is the Chiang Mai sub forum. It would have been better if the poster had put it in the medical forum and mentioned in the message he was in Chiang Mai.

Leaving food out
My wifes family and relatives often leave food out overnight. I think the chance is there for bacteria to grow but doesn't necessarily mean it will. Leaving cooked chicken out is probably safer than leaving raw chicken out and then cooking it. Look at the fresh markets where the meat is just left out in the heat. They don't seem to have too much problems from that either. I know I was raised being told don't give dogs bones it will kill them. When I first retired here I would tell people they were going to kill their dogs giving them bones. They would just give me funny looks. After a short period I realised there are millions of dogs eating bones, of every type, everyday here and they aren't all dying. So while there may be a chance of a bone hurting a dog it doesn't happen that often. Same with leaving food out.

Another Rama II Incident: Driver Injured as Large Concrete Slab Falls onto Pickup Truck
Some of my family that live in Bangkok go out of the way to avoid that road. They think it is cursed. They need to hold people accountable for this. Not the workers the higher ups. Too many protected families here.

How to deal with foot heel pain
Arcoxia works well for this type of pain. But I would be careful using it. It was a reformulation of Vioxx, which was taken off the market due to increased risk of heart attack. I noticed when I used Arcoxia my pulse was significantly higher. I was prescribed Vioxx for the same condition. A few weeks after I started using it they removed it from the market in the US. Arcoxia was never approved there either. When my wife found out it was taken off the market she threw away my remaining pills. I was kind of upset. I didn't want to stop using it worked so well.

I Love to Touch You When We Walk: But,..."OK in Thailand"?
A few decades ago you would see men walking with arms around each other. Same with women. But it was very rare to see a man and woman touching while walking. It had nothing to do with sexuality. But that has changed in recent times. Much more common now to see couples walking around holding each other than to see a group of friends walking around embraced.

Has your girlfriend got a joke or ever said anything funny ever?
Thai's tell jokes. I usually don't see the humor in them though. Must be cultural differences. Thai TV humor is still in the 3 Stooges/Benny Hill stage, but not as good.
