Agreed, Smiles. Why do farangs eat so much in Thailand? I mean they're in a hot tropical country yet they're still eating like they're living in a temperate climate. These heavy English breakfasts may be suited for a cold day after which they're off to the mines or construction site to burn it off but where does the average Pattaya farang burn it off? I mean their greatest exertion over the entire day is lifting a thousand Baht note from their wallets to give their hoe du jour. And we haven't added in the booze and ciggies yet.
These farangs will whine, bitch and complain about costly health insurance, poor healthcare facilities in Third World Thailand, blah blah blah when they've done their best to choke up those arteries in the last sixty or seventy years. Whatever happened to clear soups, greens and fresh fruit which are available in abundance in Thailand?
Pirate Bay's owner also operates Big Kahuna(on Thappraya Rd opposite vt5) and they share many of the same menu items including breakfast.

A big breakfast can mean that you don't actually eat much else for the rest of the day. Thus, plenty of time to burn off the calories.
Yep, Brits I know here are all slim, and few Americans also slim and fit, contrary to stereotype.
Russian guys over, lets say, 30, all fat! Why is that under 30 Russians are naturally fit, with muscles, often without going to gym, but then something happens, and they balloon up. They often walk around Beach Rd and other places without shirt, often in Speedos. But the fit Russians always have s shirt on, very unfair! At least they like football shorts, that is nice of them, some wear what they think are swimming trunks, but are actually boxer shorts underwear. Maybe Moses can shed some light on this?
Indians are another mystery breed, there tons and tons of them here, all fat. Every single one, I swear! And they all look around 30, maybe between 25 and 45. All overweight, not just little bit. And very few younger Indian guys you meet here are very fit, lets say under 25, maybe even younger. Something happens to Indians after 25. All Indian women fat as well, but who cares.
I believe that selective breeding over the millennia has brought about the disproportionate body fat distribution seen amongst Indians. This is a common manifestation in vegetarian communities. Cattle and other ruminating ungulates have disproportionately huge stomach. Having a full breakfast and skipping lunch is a good habit. It allows one to pursue other interesting activities during the day.

Ruminating ungulates? How do you know these terms?
"A ruminant is any even-toed, hooved mammal (order Artiodactyla) that digests its food in two steps, first by softening it within the animal's first stomach, known as the rumen, then regurgitating the semi-digested mass, now known as cud, and chewing it again."
Disgusting habit!
I thought maybe is massive amount of carbs that Indian food is. It's very "foody" culture, lot of a day revolves around eating, eating unhealthy carb rich crap.
But that does not explain why same thing happens to Arab guys, until 25 they so good looking, naturally, and at 30 every single one is fat. Also very food loving culture, they love sitting around, stuffing food in. But Arab food is often meats, kebab without all the "garlic sauce", what is really flavoured mayo, is very lean meal, clean chicken, some veggies and very little bread. But when you observe them in their natural habitat, the kebab place on corner of Second Rd and Pattaya Tai, South Rd, they add the garlic sauce to every bite, they take the plastic bottle of mayo, and put as much as physically possible on the half eaten kebab, before taking a bite. It is no longer chicken, they basically eat half a liter of mayo in one sitting, no wonder they are barely able to sit on taburettes, wisely made of Aluminium in that kebab place, normally in Thailand you only see those things made out of plastic, of course plastic would simply crumble under their weight.
Another thing, they are probably all married, marriage makes men fat, I have observed that with my married friends, only very few stay fit. There is no longer need to be attractive, in shape, they are out of the game, no reason to make an effort.
