I suggest a few good runs and a change of diet.

More fish like Salmon and salads, pasta, not too much rice, but if you can get brown rice even better, BBQ'ed stuff with salads from Arab town, Suk soi 3. All healthy wholesome stuff and see if you can switch to cereals for breakfast, all that kind of stuff keeps you going.

Junk food and fatty fried rices just clog you up and make you feel lethargic.
superb advice and actually i do try to follow this kind of routine ( and i have noticed that good diet is vital to results). concerning the training, i would say that that is slighty more important since it is easy to train to 80% or 85% intensity but difficult to get closer to 100%. if you push your body at the beginning and you are sensible, you can achieve a respectable amount of fitness and strength in as little as one month (and ultimately,fat loss). i also do a bit of cardio (cross-trainer = easy).

but it's hard work overall so it makes it more of a pain if you don't maintain this. and it gets harder with age.

i was training in pinklao but i'll probably start going to somewhere in town.
