I have a little desk and office chair which I got cheap from a local furniture shop they were able to deliver it for me to my house for free. The desk is made from cheap chipboard type wood and water got into the wood so it expanded and now it looks like quite old but it works as a cheap work desk so im mpt complaining.
Next to me I have a fan which keeps me cool and keeps some mosquitoes away while im working. Each day just before work I light a mosquito coil and it burns for around 8-9 hours so it lasts the working day just about and they only cost a few pence per each coil. These keep most mosquitoes off me but nothing works 100% so occasionally I get bitten regardless.
That's Bamboo's bed to the left and his bowl, under the desk you can see one of my mosquito coils burning, my laptop had an accident recently while doing a visa run to Laos so I had to buy a monitor which you can see. I do plan to do something about the messy cables but haven't as of yet.
I also bought some long light material trousers and t-shirt to also help prevent me from mosquito bites but the mosquito's can be big out here so some can bite straight through one lair of clothes and of course its too hot to wear 2 lairs.
Work is fine and the internet works most of the time so I am able to do what I need quite easily. I usually start work around 2.30-3.30pm Thai time so that's about 8.30-9.30am BST and this means I finish work about 10-11pm Thai time and around 4-5pm BST as I don't normally stop for lunch.
When I first came out here I wasn't sure how long I would be here but my guess was at least 6 months. Those 6 months are now up and unfortunately my work has chosen not to continue employing me which is a shame but gives me more time to get up to mischief so im not particularly upset but savings are rapidly depleting.
Sucks about work Kev. But interesting to see your desk. It looks just like Surbiton, even the office chair! lol
