This photo caught my attention... reminded me of last year, while the PAD demos were going on, my tuk-tuk driver telling me the following story...

The farang boss of local go-go bar 'The Spotlight' was allegedly seen on the premises of its main competitor in Chiang Mai, 'Foxy Lady', during these troubled times, when bed occupancy, at the start of high season, was well down. Presumably he was there to find out how well (or badly) it was doing in comparison. Rumour had it that his not-so-secret spying mission led to a severe 'dressing down' of his own girls later that same evening. It seems that some of his dancers were not as exotic as those he'd just been ogling chez Foxy, the theory being that his girls were suffering more from the inevitable consequences of a lack of exercise and too much junk food, the latter apparently accumulating in folds around the mid-section, and expanding bottoms. Perhaps their contortions on stage were simply not vigorous enough, who knows. Perhaps they were just not getting enough exercise away from work (although there are suggestions that this is at least partly the fault of their mostly aging male consorts).

Still, whatever the reason or reasons, times must be indeed be tough, for the go-go bar bosses to believe that they have to get their girls to go on a crash diet to attract the few single... unaccompanied anyway... male visitors to be seen in Chiang Mai. (I suppose if all else fails he could relaunch as a belly-dancing club?)

But my point is (ref the photo)... anyone else notice Thai girls are getting fatter?
