It seems that this is one of the unspoken topics of falangs (the overdeveloped and decadent western world sort) when visiting/living in the Kingdom, a land of teensy weensy people.
Being on the large side myself (187 cm / 110 Kg or 6’2” / 17 st, as used in lil’ ol’ England) I occasionally felt like King Kong on holiday, especially when cutting through swarm of schoolchildren and bored office workers outside MBK. I remember that my tirak’s cousin (an ugly monkey if ever there was one) commenting that if I was to visit Isaan, the local people would have thought of me as a King Kong. Not too difficult, I hear you saying, considering the height and weight of an average Isaan folk.
Still, I do feel more conscious of my size in Thailand than Europe, not to mention the fact I would find extremely difficult obtaining clothings to fit my size. So if and when I’ll decide to live in Thailand I would: 1) Get a crash course in Thai and 2) be on a strict diet for a few months before arriving in there.
I must say that in the short time I had been in Thailand I lost a few kilos (which I put back with vengeance as soon as I returned to Blighty), maybe it was the diet (didn’t eat any starch, no coffee or diary products almost no sweets and no alcohol. Well, apart from visiting bars and go-gos - a man’s gotta let his hair down from time to time.
So – how you seasoned visitors and expats deal with the “phat” issue when in Thailand?

I was never a fatboy per se but was suffering from swivel-chair spread; too many hours in the office and not enough exercise.
After being here full time for a few years, I'm back down to about what I weighed in high school. Credit the heat and the local diet, I guess.

Well, in fact I am a little fat, less that 100kg and 6ft. but at least I am not skyscraper tall. That's what I find funny when I see Western folk in Asia.
Really tall dudes loping along like those National Geographic shows where the giraffes are running along with the wildebeasts.
The trouble with Western fat is that it is at eye level for a lot of Asian folk. I cannot imagine being 5ft or less and eyeballing a foreigners rolling mountain of fat bearing down on them.
Or worse Western, mature women with huge global sized mammaries, boogie dancing under shirts like watermellons with dance fever.
Living in the East for as long as I have, it shocks me when I go to a Western country and see what the good life can grow, unfettered by common sense.
But to me the biggest scare a Western person can throw into the Asian imagination is.....a fat ass.
I mean if I find the size hard to believe, one of those melded cheek biggies must scare the hell out the local populace.
Think about it. Beer bellies come from beer. Well, that can be acceptable. But what the hell are fat asses caused by? And how exactly are they able to fly in those tiny airplanes with those petite sized toilets. Damn, any toilet!
Personally I like to sit next to a really fat ass person on the plane. I know if that window pops out, their ass is gonna plug that window and save us all. I only hope they are not stuck out, head first.
I once saw two little BG's literally beached on a white guy in a gogo one night. It must be worrying for the guy when the girl disappears completely from sight doing the BJ thing. Until she pops up on the horizon, his belly, he has no idea if there are any survivors.
A fat guy with a big dick is okay, but if you've got a wee willie, it must look like a tiny valve on a hot air balloon.
A BG would be forgiven for thinking that, "one little yank on that 'dinky' valve and I'm gonna split my gut laughing while I watch this farang zip through the air like a party balloon bouncing off the walls".
Fat? I can live with it. But look at my own?
Nope!
That's for other, less fortunate people.

Yeah sawsdee bpee mai folks - Happy New Year.
Just been watching, on satellite television here in the U.K., Taksin Shinawatra doing his traditional New Year's Eve speech at Lumpini Stadium (was it Lumpini?), followed by explosive fireworks.
I wish I was there now

I lost a few pounds in Thailand myself. The spicy food filled me up quick so I didn't eat as much, and all the nightly zigzagging and hotel room sessions provided good excercise. I also think the excitement and desire of wanting to go out and about "all the time" increased my metabolism.
On my last visit, I saw a guy who was only about 5ft 10" tall and must have weighed 400+ pounds without a muscle to him. He was wearing farmer overalls walking down Patpong. I wonder what he has to shell out for a L/T.
I'm not trying to knock the guy but damn, that guy was a "fat ass" according to any culture...
Referring to fastmover's comments on sitting next to a fat person on the plane - I always seem to win that prize. I personally think they should pay for two seats or move to first class. If their ass is half way into your seat it is unfair to you and why should you suffer. Either that or have a large person section.
Personally, I could stand to lose 25 pounds before my next trip (have 5 months so no problem, I think). I'm 6ft 3" tall so I carry it well. But it feels so much better getting a soapy or oily when you're in shape.
My friend, who usually joins me on my escapades to the LOS, is a big guy but in great shape. The amount of attention he gets from the girls while he is there is far greater than the amount I receive. They all rub his arms and chest, wherever we go, complimenting his muscles. Not that you need to worry about these things in the LOS but I think it will probably make your time more enjoyable for yourself and the parties involved if you are in shape.
With fat being aside, I love being bigger than everyone else.

Right on!
Seats are small enough for intercontinental flights without also having arms and legs crowding your limited space. Leaves me very sore after. Someone should sue the airlines - I might just do so - to provide better accommodations, especially for persons actually larger than the seat space - oversize crowding is especially not reasonable accommodation for either passenger.
Regarding putting on pounds in Thailand - I accept that as a given part of the pleasure of gorging myself on some of the best food in the world - and worry about taking it off when I get back to reality.

I eat a lot of pussy, low cal diet helps keep the weight off
