I see some fat folks everytime I go to the market in the evenings and see them riding their Mo'cys down the village street and buying stuff for supper.

That combination of increased calorie intake with reduced exercise isn't very helpful. If Thais would follow affluent Westerners* and walk more and ride bicycles more, their health would improve. If they did it a LOT more and air pollution decreased significantly, their health would improve even more.

* I'm presuming the rest of the Western world is like Australia in that it is the relatively wealthy who walk and ride bicycles the most.
