I spent several years in Thaiiland in the 1960's and never encountered fried rice with pineapple. Since most of my time was spent on the east coast, from north to south, is this a dish found mostly in central and eastern portions of this beautiful country?

I'm wondering if the reason people assume pineapple fried rice is "tourist food" is the ubiquity of pineapple in the Americanized Chinese food of decades past? Particularly in "polynesian" restaurants and tiki bars, pineapple was *everywhere*.
