Neck and shoulder pains from computer mouse
I use Microsoft or Logitech ergonomic mouse or trackball since years. They cost roughly between 1000B to 3000B and I used them all for years. I think everybody should make sure they have comfortable input devices for their computer which they use every day. Even if the 3000B mouse would only last one year, that less than 10B per day. I think that is a good investment in our health.

Ok, great. But then I am confused that you mention your neck's titanium disks. How are they related to work with mouse and keyboard? You write about neck and shoulder pain, not about arm, wrist, pain in the hands, etc.

That is certainly a good point. If you have a good seat, then you can sit and relax. Then use a decent ergonomic keyboard and mouse and all should be fine.

Did you try something high quality like the Logitech Trackball? You don't have to move your arm at all. And your wrist is in a natural position.

Pattaya City achieves 99.41 score in anti-corruption assessment
So, they are only 99.41% corrupt ant not 100%? Sounds about right.

Transwoman Arrested in Bangkok for Trafficking Teenage Girls
There are transsexuals out there. And in Thailand they still make a difference between real women and trans-women. I think that is fair enough.

If they would grow up with caring parents, then they would not even think about providing sex for money.

Maybe, maybe not. But we can be sure their parent made some big mistakes or didn't care at all.

MOPH’s plan to rub out illicit activities in Thai massage shops
One or two officials will walk around, watch for a minute, and declare mission accomplished. And all will be fine again. 😉

75% secret service 25% traditional service only So where are the shops which prominently offer sex services without any secret? Another 200%?

Do you know anyone on dodgy ground ? In danger ?
I believe many of those suicides are real. In other countries when people want to kill themselves, they have to think about how they can do that, then maybe buy something, etc. It takes time. In Thailand, the next balcony with low rail is everywhere - at least in the cities. From the moment that someone wants to die to the moment he actually dies is maybe only minutes.

Do you know anyone on dodgy ground ? In danger ?
I knew a guy who upset the wrong people, not a gf. He was scared all the time, and then he left Thailand. Live another day and all that. I heard about enough upset girlfriends, but I never heard about anything drastic actually happening in or after such a relationship. But farangs with a big mouth who want to do "Thai" business and/or who borrow money from the wrong people, their life expectancy is limited.

On Nut Ghetto
Just in case anybody wants to see a little more about that area. In general, Bangkok Pat seems to be well informed.

On Nut Ghetto
You didn't have to move. You, or maybe the alpha in your relationship, decided to move. Maybe start with that issue. If you figure that out it should help you, and not just with the location of your home. I also gave you a sad emoji. And not because I have any problem with On Nut - but obviously I live in a cooler part of the town. 😉

Visiting Vietnam
No And I am pretty sure if you read the book, you also don't have the desire to go into them. And there is another reason. My size is slightly more than the average Vietnamese. 😉

Restaurant Industry Faces Over 50% Drop in Spending, Urges Govt for Immediate Stimulus
TiT!

Restaurant Industry Faces Over 50% Drop in Spending, Urges Govt for Immediate Stimulus
Good. When they close then there will be more guests for the other restaurants. It seems all the time new restaurants open and all the time some people think they can make a lot of money with them. Think again! It's hard work and just doing the same as everybody else is not good enough. There are lots of good restaurants out there which exist since many years and people go there again and again because the quality is good, the service is good, and the prices are not too high. Many restaurants wouldn't fail if the owners or investors would think twice before they open them.

Harris Confronts Trump’s Remarks on Her Identity with Calls for Unity and Respect
What is the point of all this? Do blacks only make politics for blacks and whites for whites and women for women and gays for gays or how does that work. I thought they are all Americans and should all make politics for all Americans and America. It seems many over there make a problem out of something which shouldn't be a problem.

Ex-Pats targeted on Sky Train
"Ex-Pats targeted on Sky Train" What a stupid headline. Nobody is targeting ex-pats. If you want to be a group of targeted people, then call it old foreigners in Thailand who think they deserve a discount. I am an expat, and I am not targeted. How much tax do you pay, or did you pay in Thailand? Do you think you deserve to get a discount? And are you so poor that you can't afford the very reasonable adult price for a ticket? Stop whining!

Thailand is getting more boring
Coffee shops and restaurants exist everywhere. Every country, every city, and even up country. What do you expect? Living in a theme park and every day something completely different?

Thai man regrets career choice as peers earn higher salaries
In 6 months I changed my job, it's great, I earn so much more. In 12 months I really have to work in this new job. I was so used to an easy life in the office. They told me they will fire me if I don't work harder. Some time later They fired me. Now I don't know how to pay for the house and the car and the credit card bills. Life is not fair. To be continued

Read this before you go to get into the mood. It's a great book.

Thailand is getting more boring
It's up to us if we find anything we want to do. I live in Bangkok since almost 30 years. If I wanted to, I could drive a few km inside Bangkok and I would be in an area which I never visited before. And I am sure I would discover something in such an area. For me above sounds like: I was 10 days in NYC, I saw it all, and it's time to go somewhere else. Really?

Did he spend any time looking at the different options before he started his "career"?
