...these kids are more lazy than the previous generation... eat 'snacks' all the time and crap when they get the opportunity...."

I crap when I get the opportunity too - the alternative is to shit oneself

"if you were going to eat after late night clubs or bars everyone would head to Wat Chai roadside stalls or equivalent depending area of Pattaya"

Alas another facet of Pattaya banned. No more eating on the street allowed at Wat chai...take away only.....

When did that rule take effect?

In the bad old days I would cruise the Wat Chai Market after the bar closings and treat some of the bar boys to a meal.

I agree that Western junk food and cheap convenience foods loaded with sugar are making everyone fat - Thais included.

Oh come on, that's no fair. The most fattening Canadians are known for is probably poutine. Then you have the UK, where if pizza wasn't already bad enough for you, they decide it's better deep fried. They even deep fry Mars bars there.

Do remind us, Matt - when was the last time you ate pizza in the UK?

Jasmine rice - Thailand's most famous export (after its hookers) has a relatively high glycemic index number. If you must eat rice, try basmati instead, especially if you're diabetic

Not in the whole of The UK Matt. Only in Scotland. Also, you need a special licence to sell Haggis (their national dish). South of the border it's considered 'not fit for human consumption.' The jocks are not considered a nation of gourmands.
