I live in one of the South East Asian countries, not Thailand. It's poor here, not like the big cities in Thailand where you can get Western food on every street corner.
I could give you a motorbike and let you drive around the town where I live -- and if you can find a place within 1 hour that sells Western food then I'll give you $100.
The bodybuilder guy, (actually his name is Geoff now that I remember), lives in the same town as me and he obviously has no problem getting food so he'd be a great person to talk to. Maybe he drives out of town to a meat market or something.
The local food is shite... their meals are 60% white rice and then they just throw in noodles or chunks of pork or something like that.
If I was back in my home country I'd just go to the supermarket and look for the meat section, the fish section, etc.. I ain't got that luxury here.

I have to go to Bangkok to buy supplements such as Whey Protein (or I can order them over the Internet and have them delivered).
Funnily enough though, it's pretty easy to get Testosterone in the pharmacies, presumably because of its legitimate medical uses, but there isn't a single place that stocks protein powder. They even have Deca in the pharmacies here, maybe it's for AIDS patients or something.
There's actually one store in town that sells western food, but the prices are so ridiculous that you only ever see chauffeurs drop off a maid to do the shopping. I went in one time and saw that they wanted $13 for a can of my favourite baked beans... I realised it wasn't my kind of store. I've actually being considering moving to one of the bigger cities in Thailand but I gotta save some money here before I shoot off again.
Anyway I'm talking too much. I'll let you know how it goes when I get a hold of Geoff, he'll probably take me out to his back yard and show me where he kills the cows![]()
