Going to Thailand: Help
I've got to bring my machine with me. Has anyone else been to Thailand? What kind of plugs or converters do I need, if any? I'm looking online but I'm exactly sure what to look for.

Synonymous, it's a 2-pin flat or 2-pin round plug, 220 Volts and 50 Hertz. You can pick up an adapter at the airport.

With the S9 you only need an adapter for the plug as it will automatically convert to 220.
I have a travel set like this which has all the adapters you could possibly need for anywhere, plus a converter for when you need one (with the S9 you would just attach the correct adapter to the American plug and you're good to go, no converter needed):

I loved Thailand but it was hotter and more humid than anything I'd ever experienced living in New England.
I was just in Prague (Czech Republic) and found distilled water extremely easily, in the first shop I checked. When I visited Thailand a few years ago, I wasn't using cpap yet so I can't speak to the ease of getting distilled water there.
Good luck and enjoy your trip.
