Dengue Fever & Travel Insurance

Posted by Takemetobali on Sunday, 24. February 2013 at 18:21 Bali Time:

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to remind everyone in Bali now to be vigilant with the mossie spray. My father and I are both in BIMC with dengue. My friends that are locals have told me it is because if the strong winds and rains.

And please DO NOT travel without travel insurance, BIMC charge USD550 per night! But I had to pay the doctor that came to the hotel first 5,700,000idr thank goodness for travel insurance. And incase you were wondering we are with TID and they very quickly agreed to pay all costs, as we were due to fly home today they have extended our accommodation for our partners and will reschedule our flights as soon as we are able to fly.

Please don't get me wrong, I don't want sympathy and I don't want to scare people, just being realistic, so travel safe everyone and make sure you have insurance!!!!! :)
