Hi bali_bec,
I'm very sorry for what you have been through, I hope and wish you to get well soon!
The dengue problem seems to have increased in the last years, I must admit, that I'm also very careless due the risks of catching something like this, I almost never use a repellent and I should probably better change this.
I would be very interested and I guess some other people would be too, to get some detailed information about the costs you had to face due to this.
Costs for medical treatment, air-ticket cancellation fees, every additional costs caused by this incident, I also would like to know, how the payment have bee handled, assume you have to pay in advance at the hospital and get refunded the money later by insurance?
I consider this as a very important aspect for all travellers, try to imagine you have a travel insurance, but not enough coverage on your credit card?
Any further information in respect to this is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance and all the best
Thorsten
