A few months ago I took a trip to Thailand to see my girl and we wanted to hit the beach, but couldn't get very far away because she had to be back at work. Her sister runs a hotel on Jomtien beach and could let us stay there for very little money so we ended up there. I ate something that didn't agree with an antibiotic that I was taking at the time and ended up in the hospital for a few days. I believe it was the Pattaya/Bangkok hospital. It was a really nice place actually...flat screen tv., fridge in the room, microwave, couch for overnight stay and it didn't seem that expensive by comparison to what I would have paid in the United States.
My girl's sister told her that she didn't trust that hospital and it was her opinion that they would overcharge me for being there or try to keep me longer to get more money out of me. Anyone have experiences with hospitilization in Thailand and what did you think?
As a side question, any ideas of beaches closer to Bangkok than Pattaya that are nice? I'm not too crazy about Pattaya even if the hotel is really cheap.

I had to sleep on the couch. Dengue is called the bone breaking disease, you fecking hurt everywhere; so a thin, hard matress is the last thing one needs.
