Pattaya is on the east coast of Thailand.It's beautiful,fun and kinda wild place.It's the first time I've ever been to Pattaya.It's very popular with tourists.However,Thailand gets a lot of it's negative stereotype from Pattaya because pattaya is a city full of brothels,bars,seafood,kebab stalls and near beautiful beaches.I live in Bangkok and have been all over Thailand except the deep south and I can tell you Thailand is not like what you see on western made documentaries/movies which makes it look like Thailand has brothels everywhere,in Bangkok sure there is redlight districts but there's many of them in Australian cities,there's many of them in American cities.But I've noticed Pattaya seems to be the example that westerners compare all of Thailand to.Much of Bangkok looks like a very modern city with skybridges called 'BTS'  tha have skytrains that take you to many places in the city or which you can walk across if you want to cross a busy road.The skytrains come every few minutes(unlike Australia's crappy train system in which you'll have to wait 30 minutes-1 hour for a train).Some regions in bangkok have expensive apartments and of course there's medium and lower class apartments and I love the area of Bangkok in which I'm registered as living in called Dusit because it has gardens throughout the region and has a more traditional look to it.There's also suburbian style places in Bangkok where some of my relatives live and there's nice houses with little stores near by that sell yummy food.In the north of Thailand,it's a lot more rural.The more south you go,the more tropical Thailand becomes(it starts to look more like Malaysia)and many westerners love Phuket and Rayong in south Thailand(Final Fantasy X was influenced by southern Thailand).The very deep south of Thailand has a muslim majority population although 95% of Thailand is Buddhist,because most people in the very deep south of Thailand have Malay ancestory.

I haven't played more of Chrono Trigger because I've had more problems in my personal life.My girlfriend(who I've been with since April 2012)was pressured into agreeing to marry a rich Australian guy who's double her age(she hasn't married him yet but they've planned it) and I don't need to explain how I feel,what's sad is this is the second time something like this has happened to me in the space of a few years because a few years ago my Indonesian girlfriend was pressured into marrying a man because her parents liked him and his family and because they didn't like the fact I'm not muslim and now I've been screwed over again,this time it's because of money.Basically if she marries him,he's supposed to take care of her family.I know it sound like a bad part of Thai culture but many western guys marry Thai women who are half their age or 30 or even 40 years younger than them naively thinking the woman is really going to love him and I blame part of the problem on the stupid western men who think to themselves ''they are one of the few lucky western men who can be with a woman who's more than 20 years younger than him but who still loves him''.And yeah my girlfriend,if I can call her that is still seeing me,please don't judge her,she really didn't want to marry that guy and anyways,he calls her on the phone when she's with me and my girlfriend has tried to tell him she doesn't want to be with him anymore(I've heard her tell him this many times)but the idiot paid my girlfriend's family sid sod(it's like a payment men often pay to a Thai lady's family before they marry her)and often sid sod is a lot of money,especially if her husband is a westerner because they know they can get more money from him and her family don't want to give the money back to him.Please don't judge all Thai people because of this,honestly there's many great Thai people who would never use their child or family member in this way.

I love my girlfriend but I don't have time for this **** had the same arguements with her that I had with my Indonesian ex girlfriend,they told me they have to do what's best for their family and blah blah blah.My Indonesian ex girlfriend told me give her a few months to divorce her husband,waited nearly a year(yeah I was stupid to do that but she kept saying she needed more time over and over)and I don't want to go through that again.

It sucks this happened right before I am due to go back to Australia,because I'll be far away from her and that guy is going to visit Thailand when I am in Australia and I cannot extend my ticket date back to Australia because I'm running out of money,I still nearly have enough money for a house in rural Thailand but a ticket to Australia costs 1/4 or even 1/3 the value of a cheap house in Thailand and cheap but nice hotels cost me too much and I don't want to be a burden to my relatives.
