As [censored] up as that story is, you made about 10 awful decisions to get in that situation so its hard to say it is not your fault.

Any chance you could post or PM the full story? You've obviously taken down the blog post.

I'll be in BKK in less than two weeks. Yay!!

Has there been a change to the 90 day visa rule? How are you getting around that?

Yo I just spent two nights and 3 days in the hospital with diarrhea.. It was about my 6th case of it since i've been here in 6 months.. I won't go into the details, but it was really bad.

This time was just terrible, and I feared dehydration. So i checked myself in the hospital, and got on an IV hook-up...

had 1 TOTALLY HOT NURSE.......... Paid about 18000 baht for the visit... (It was the antibiotics that were quite expensive.)

You can get a 60 day visa from a foreign embassy and extend that by 30 days in Thailand. You have to leave again to get another one. Popular spots in include:

Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Australia etc.

I look at it like a mandatory vacation every three months. No big deal.

Just got this question via AIM which hasn't been addressed in this thread:

2+2er: yo was just reading thru a few pms from a while back from people from the forums about thailand is this true: "2) you *will* get travellers sickness and spend ~3 days running at both ends. This is an unavoidable facet of travel to most foreign countries"
degen: heh it is common
degen: but it isnt' gauranteed
degen: if you haven't spent time in asia, your stomach will likely get pissed at you for a couple of days
degen: i usually have diarhea the first week

I have heard that you can only stay 90 out of every 120 or 180 days. From your response it seems this is false. You only need to leave briefly to renew the visa, as before?
