When I arrived in Bkk four months ago, I weighed 99kg. When I weighed myself last week, I had dropped to 91-92kg. What the hell is all that about?
If anything, I drink much more here than in farangland - considerably more - so the only thing I can attribute it to is diet.
The thing is... I can't believe my diet has changed that radically. If anything I eat more now than I did at home. And I still dive into farang food several nights a week - Londoner weekly, Bourbon Street every now and again, fish and chips from soi 23 fortnightly or so. Even the odd pizza from Bella or a takeaway. The biggest change I can think of is that I've virtually given up bread (what is that sweet crap they sell here?), and am a regular visitor to the fruit carts every morning.
I probably eat Thai 3-4 nights a week and I love it phet phet mak, so maybe that's it. And I usually only have a handful or two of rice.
Have any other longer-term residents experienced big weight fluctuations when they arrived here? Am very curious.

I think most farangs loose weight, even on a 2 week trip. The bread has something to do with it, but also people walk a lot in BKK.
Going up and down the sidewalks (to avoid obstacles, etc), walking up the pedestrian bridges, walking up the BTS entrances, is good exercise.

When I arrived in Thailand (1994) I used to weigh 80 kilos.
About three years ago I was 107 kilos and then without no apparent reason I went down to 92.
Now I am back to 97 kilos....

Bollocks, I arrived here in 1993 at 83 kg. I am now 90 kg after hitting a maximum 102kg 3 years ago. I don't know of anyone that has lost weight living here.

My wife takes pleasure in cooking three meals a day for me and as a result I have put on 10Kg since moving here a year ago. She is a very good cook.

Well, I usually end up losing between 10-12 lbs every trip I take. This has been observed by several of my friends that I have taken on trips with me as well -- we have come to the conclusion that it can be due to:
- different diet, which mostly includes meats, and little, if any, breads, pastas, and other carbos... yet vegetables, fruits, and chicken and fish - Kinda like 'Atkins in a can'.
- we tend to walk everywhere
- the heat, usually, provides a natural sauna and the sweating and walking contribute.
- I generally tend to also do more physical activity, like swimming and working out, at my place, so that probably contributes as well.
- I'm sure the sex is somewhat of a factor as well.
I hear getting married can invalidate any of these, if your wife's a good cook

The sexercise probably helps, as does the heat and walking etc. The other thing I thought of was the high chilli diet.... let's face it. Most Thai food is not only low-fat, but even if it was, it doesnt stay in the system too long, does it?

"big weight fluctuations " yes sure everytime I am surprised I lose 8-10 kg's.
I am not a long term resident but I visit 2-3 time's a year Thailand, and even after eating much more then at home after my last trip (1 month in December/Jan.) I lost 9 kg's...This happens every time normally ? my weight is around 85, but even after a short visit of 2 weeks I lose 8-9 kg's.
I eat much and basically only Thai food incl.meat (about 4-6 small meals a day).
Other factors are the climate, and the body exercise and beeing with thai woman can also have effects on your weight.
I can eat as much as I want or drink whatever I don't get thick but that's just my body constitution.
But because I love the Thai food so much, I eat much more then at home so probably I get fatter there and then once a home the change to "normal" I lose weight, normal things. But we forgot we maybe gain weight in LOS and lose much once at home.
The last time I was got so worried about this lose of weight within 3-4 weeks after coming home that I let check my blood and had to do an internal check by cam.
But all ok
