If you've been in Bangkok for any length of time you've
seen the 'healthy lifestyle'...uh...lifestyle...change a great
deal. But why, how, and to what end? Greg interviews Jack Thomas,
founder and CEO of BASE Fitness to chat about the
evolution.

their clients get fit to home-based businesses delivering healthy
food and drinks, Jack and Greg discuss why Bangkok is now a much
more hospitable place for the genuine health enthusiast than it
once was.
