You are talking rubbish, I personally know of several families with young children who live in Pattaya, and there are areas within 20 to 30 minutes, that are comparable to cities any where in Australia, I personally live only 20 minutes away from a major private hospital, and have all the amenities, and know of some great entertainment venues. Your problem is you try to stereo type all people who live in the area
