MRI. Why not from head to toe?
You could do a full body scan but you would have to pay for it. Your insurance would only cover what is required for your immediate situation. Plus if you found anything your insurance might add more exclusions for preexisting conditions.

KPlus is now almost useless to me after 4 years without issues they impose this on me
It is from the face scan requirement. Before foreigners could be exempted from it. They no longer allow that exemption. The banks don't have it set up to retain the face scan information for foreigners. You need a Thai ID for it to be kept in their system. I went into my local branch, SCB, and asked about it. They are the ones that told me the above. However they did say if I wanted to do a larger transaction I could go to the branch and they could do a face scan but it is only good for that single transaction. Say for example you want to make a payment or send money to someone for 75K. You can do 2 separate transactions that equal the total, like 50K and then 25K, up to the 200K daily limit.

How do I get rid of boredom?
I'd just say that you don't need to stay on an island to enjoy beaches.

Bird not in a cage
I imagine once you start feeding a bird and get its trust it will hang around for the easy meals. Now if I could just get rid of the 20 pigeons living on my roof.... what a mess.

Bad dreams indicate early death??
Over 20 years ago I had a dream. I think it was a dream anyway. I died and I was hovering above our bed looking down at the wife and I in bed. I started thinking, "Wait. I can't die yet. I have to take care of my wife." Next thing I know i'm waking up in bed with the actual physical feeling of having fallen onto the bed.

Former U.S. Soldier Arrested After Disturbance at Pattaya Beer Bar
He's probably lucky he wasn't in Phuket. Bouncers there don't seem as nice.

It gets worse: Glass bottles found to contain more microplastics than plastic bottles. The link thing is not working. Just do a search on it. From a study done in France.

Temple Highlights Bangkok's Vulnerability to Rising Sea Levels
I was reading about Thai history one time and it said Nakhon Pathom used to be a coastal city. Now it's about a 2 hour drive to the coast from there.

Random Immigration Checks
I'm on a regular retirement visa, Ratchaburi. Immigration came to my house 1 time about 7 years ago. At that time they said they were going to start doing home visits more often. I have never seen them again. Just the one time in all the time I have been here.

Air conditioning degrees
Living areas 27, when I use them. Our bedroom 25. When guests/family come and stay they set the air in their bedroom anywhere from 18-22. I'm guessing they don't set it that low when they are the ones paying for it.

Be thankful it doesn't. The other guy came out of the room she wanted to take him into. They were probably going to rob him.

Getting Thai health insurance for 68 year old American
The main problem is that the insurance companies here will exclude many things based on pre existing conditions. For instance if you take blood pressure or cholesterol medication they will exclude heart attacks, strokes, etc. But they still charge you the same premium.
