@islandlifewithclaudia: Turns out we both caught dengue fever and ended up spending 3 days in hospital with a £2000 bill 😭 Luckily we had good insurance and they paid out! The one I use is linked in my profile ❤️🫶 Btw dengue fever is rare and it’s unlikely you will catch it - it only happens if you get bitten by a mosquito that is infected - but it’s still worth being insured for things like this We are fully recovered now this happened a while ago!! #denguefever
Ooh. I've been to Thailand 63 times and I'm going again in September. But I've never had any problems. It happened to a friend in Sisaket and he also got dengue fever but I've never heard of anyone on Koh Samui. Get well soon.

this is unfortunate, wish you a speedy recovery - there is a vaccine now, everyone should get one just in case.

I am always baffled by such stories. I go to thailand since 30 years, before usually once a year but for one month and now betwen 1-4 times a year for 2 weeks. I was all over thailand including samui many times. Never used any bug spray and never had something happening to me.
