I just think that it's a time to reveal my real nickname.

Most of my friend know me as 'Pai' or 'ไป๋'. BTW, this is not my real nickname. The story started 13 years ago while I were a student in Chulalongkorn University. I used to play a very famous role play game named 'MUD' or Multi-User Dungeon. In the game, we must create our own character and also name it. There is a rule that not allow us to use our real name in the game. My friend choose the name Junjao (pinyin: Zhan Zhao) which is a main character in the legend of Bao Qing Tian or เปาบุ้นจิ้น in Thai.

Back to the game, I chose to play on the opposite clan, so I named my character as Paietung which is a counterpart of Junjao. (Junjao also has an alias name as Royal Cat, whereas Paietung's alias name is Golden Hair Mouse. So, cat VS. mouse, you can imagine.)

This game was very popular among the science students and the engineer students at that time. So, most players of both faculties also known me as Paietung in game, and then called me as Pai in real life.

Nowadays, MUD's players scattered to many places, many companies. When I changed my job to a new company, I always found people who used to know me as Pai. That's why I always accepted that name. Very very few people know my real nickname, I'm not wonder. However, this is the first time that I will say my real nickname on internet.

My real nickname is Tong or ต้อง. You can call me either Tong or Pai.
