I got some sickness, but hey, if you're going to be sick Thailand's the place to do it. I've never had a good experience in a hospital. We were seen by a doctor within two minutes of walking in. The hospital felt like a hotel. Thailand has a really good health care system (everyone but the U.S.A. right?). Thailand is so cheap that it's more economically viable to fly all the way to Thailand for a serious operation (say, heart bypass for example), have the operation (by doctors who were trained in the U.S.) and then take a week-long vacation (maybe some tropical beach, elephant sanctuaries, who knows?). By the time you decide to return to the U.S. you're better and you've saved a whole lot of money.
