So, I finally got sick, not from eating all that I've eaten, but from too much AC combined with too much heat in the islands plus I ran out of my travel medicines, in any case, I had been having fevers up to 41 degrees Centigrade (105.8 Farenheit). My sleep had been terrible because I would wake up drenched in sweat every three hours, and you must understand that going to bed in wet clothes and a wet bed is not easy.
So, monday, I decided to go to the hospital and test out their medical system, I saw a doctor within minutes and they did not charge me anything, he gave me Tylenol and other common drugs but that did not remedy any symptoms. I asked the staff if they had acupuncture available, they said that today was May 1st and that they were closed but that tomorrow I would be able to see somebody for sure. So I came back the next day and asked for directions, they said "go out of the building, turn right, walk 100 meters then you will see a chinese house" I said "ok" without knowing what I might find, then as I walked out of the building I see this huge 6 story Chinese Medicine hospital, I walked in, service was great, first they took me to see a herbalist, then I asked for acupuncture. They charged me 60 Baht (2 USD) for 3 days worth of a concoction made especially for me that after the first try made me feel as if I had drank fire making my whole body very warm and dissipated my symptoms very quickly, today, I will go back for another acupuncture session...
