is there an abundance of gyms in the country?

[Sheep-Goats]

No, and the gyms that do exist are pricey.

Lots of weightlifters showing off in Lumpinee park in Bangkok, though.

Do a google on Pro bodybuilder "Denis James" He is an IFBB pro bodybuilder from Thialand and owns a Gym there. I will put up more info as I find out.

There are gyms in most cities in major hotels that you can use. The gyms outside of Bangkok and the tourist infested area are horrible, however. Many don't have A/C. Also keep in mind that putting on muscle in Thailand is difficult due to the extreme heat and lack of foods high in carbohtdrates through most of the country. It's a great place to slim down though.
