The present phenomenon Medical Tourism was conceptual ised thousands of years back when Greekpilgrims traveled to the healing god Asklepios at Epidauria. Over time, Epidauria became a destination

for medical tourism. Through the centuries, healthcare has always been a concern for the average human

being. The quality of treatment, costs involved and convenience of the system have always been the major

determinants of a good healthcare system. Some developed nations fail to satisfy the healthcare needs of

their people despite having great medical infrastructure.

Phuket Lobster

If choosing to eat lobster, the lobsteryou choose should weigh about 700-800

grams. However, its actually better if youcan choose a lobster that weighs more,as the heavier lobster, the tastier it is.

What makes Phuket Lobster unique andoutstanding compared to other lobsterspecies is its thin shell, which gives thePhuket specie more meat. The meat is

very rich and sweet, but not mushy. Lobster

meat can be cooked in a number of ways,for example, steaming, roasting, grilling,

and frying. But no matter how the lobsteris cooked, you can be guaranteed it willbe delicious. Now you have an idea of how

tasty Phuket Lobster is, dont miss yourchance to try The King of Seafood!

Unlike adults, childrens dreams have

no ceiling. Children start dreaming

at an early age. They think about

their future career, their wealth, their

education, and so on. And their dreams can be

huge.

As far as careers go, some will choose the typi-

cal police ofcer, re ghter, or doctor. Others

will choose Astronaut, Olympian, or President.

As parents, we have more control over whether our children

achieve their dreams than we might think. For kids, parents

are inspiration, motivation, and leadership.

You might think that your childs dreams are unrealistic. Thats

the negative adult inside you. You should believe in your child

because they believe in themselves; and youre probably the

only other support they have.

Phukets very own mermaid26 year old, German born Katrin Felton, also known as

Mermaid Kat, watched a video when she was 5 years old;

the video was titled The little Mermaid. From the day she

first watched the video her dream was to be a mermaid.

She wanted a mermaid costume to swim in and kept on at

her father to buy her one. You cannot swim with your legs

together, its impossible, you will drown was his reply.

br ing her closer to achieving her l i felong

dream of becoming a real mermaid. She knew

by doing this she would be able to model and

be in the water at the same time.

It was after becoming a diving instructor and

freediver she thought, OK, now there must be

a way I can become a mermaid.

So she purchased a profes-

sional mono fin and made

herself her first mermaid

tail. It was at this time,

about one year ago, that

Kats dream came true and

Mermaid Kat came to life.

Most people see a mermaid

as some thing wh ich is half hu man and half sh.

But in Kats opinion, its more of a sea memb er

similar to a dolphin or whale. She tells us A

mermaid comes up to breathe as it doesnt

have gills like a fish. Mermaids are shy and

Young Imagination

Gladness &Joy

Whenever she sat at the side of a pool she wouldcross her legs, look down at them and dream

they would turn into a mermaids tail. Even when

she reached teenage years, Kat and her friends

would go swimming and swim in the style of a

dolphin, allowing her to have the feeling she

was swimming as a mermaid.

After leaving school, Kat was signed up by a

leading model agency

and was crowned Miss

Germany International

in 2006. During her time

modelling, which also

gave her a chance to

travel, Kat also became

interested in scuba div-

ing and also freediving

(a form of underwater

diving without the use of scuba gear).

About three years ago, although being successful

as a model, Kat decided she was happier being

in water rather than standing posing in front of

dont want to be seen so much. They just want to be

at peace in the ocean, with the oceans beautiful

creatures.

When Kat meets new people, she is not embarrassed

to tell them she is a real life mermaid and people are

really impressed when she does. People show a great

amount of interest in what she does. When she goes

out on the boat with divers, she tells them she freedives

as a mermaid and they want to know so much about it.

They want to know how long she can hold my breath

for (which is around 2 minutes) and how deep she

can go. It actual amazes them she can do this without

any diving

equipment.

Many of the

girls ask herabout the

tails, which

she makes

herself, and

ask if she

can make

them one

too. Kat says I think I give a lot of inspiration to people

I meet and talk to about being a mermaid, especially

young children who may have had a dream similar to

mine.

Being a mermaid affects Kats everyday life in quite a

big way. If she watches diving videos from great divinglocations, she not only thinks about being there diving,

but also how she would love to swim there as a mer-

maid. And when shes diving she always sees things

that inspire her with the designs for her tails.

Kat believes children should hold onto their dreams

and fight for them to come true. She believes if you

only have one dream, that dream may not come true.

But if you have a hundred dreams, maybe 10% of

those dreams will come true. She always dreamt of

leaving Germany, becoming a scuba diver and being

a mermaid, amongst other things, and all those dreams

have come true. People may say youre crazy and you

will not do it, but try and you will prove them wrong and

do it if it makes you happy she says. I think its really

important to allow children to have their dreams and

parents should not step in the way of them. Support

them with whatever they want to do and help them

make it she added.

When shes out instructing divers, Kat feeds information

to others that use the ocean and is one of the few

instructors who really try to make sure the students

she teaches learn something from her. She tries to put

the environmental point across to them in a major way.

Gladness & Joy

Young Imagination

She will not allow them to touch anything and

always takes the new divers to an area where

she knows they will be able to relax and wont

damage anything that is alive in the water.

There are a few mermaids around like Kat, but

she feels theyre all doing the same things, nice

pictures, nice videos and environmental things.

Kat wants to try to do something different. She

would like to think she can be the Lady Gaga of

the mermaid business. You may see a darker

side to Mermaid Kat, who will show humans

how we have damaged her environment and the

consequences of that damage.

Unfortunately, Kats father passed away when

she was 16 years old so he did not get the

chance to see what shes doing now. He was the

one who really said it was impossible to do what

she wanted to do as she would drown and she is

sad he cant see her swimming in her ocean the

way she does.

I think its really

important to allowchildren to have

their dreams

Mr Narinthorn Thongsaikleng, Managing Director of Modern Wedding

Studio tells us about the most popular wedding style for foreign couples

choosing to have their wedding here in Phuket:

Te Mst Wanted: Traditinal Tai Wedding

Mr Narinthorn says Oneof the most characteristic

items of a Thai wedding is

the Kan-Mak procession.

This is a ceremonial

visit where the groom,

accompanied by friends

and family, visits the

bride and her parents and

asks for their daughters

hand in marriage. They

will carry offerings of the

Kan-Mak (trays of gifts

from the groom to the

brides family).

The major Kan-Mak

tray traditionally consists

of gold jewelry, a

diamond engagement

ring and cash as the

dowry. In addition there

are betel nuts, sesame

seeds and areca. The

Kan Mak will be covered

in silk.

Wedding Destination


Friends and relatives of the bride stand in the

aisle and receive the groom. The groom has

to answer questions from them and give them

money before he sees the bride.

At the engagement ceremony, the groom and

bride exchange rings and pay respect to each

other.

The sprinkling of holy water is also a

characteristic of a Thai wedding. Monks will

sprinkle holy water on the hands of both thegroom and bride.

After the ceremony, the groom and bride

have a wedding reception which will play

host to between 100 to 300 guests, made up

of family and friends. These days this may

take many different forms, depending on

the couples preference - a buffet with Thai

or Chinese food, a cocktail-style party or a

sit-down dinner, usually with speeches and

entertainment.

Phuket. It features a white sandy beach, crystal

When people imagine a holiday in The Real

Thailand, most people will automatically think

of long sandy beaches and accommodation

with sea views. However, a growing number of

visitors to Phuket are now looking for an alternative to beach

locations such as Kata, Karon, Patong etc.

The recently completed Pura Vida Villas Phuket have seen

a niche in the market here in Phuket, and now offer three

contemporary homes, in an alternative peaceful tropical paradise,

or in what is their and my opinion The Real Thailand.

Pura Vidas three spacious 400 sq meter boutique pool villas

are set on plots of land ranging from 1,200 and 1,500 sqm

and are nestled in the peaceful natural surroundings of Nai

Yang, an untouched, unspoilt area in the north west of the

island, where your view will be of a beautiful natural green

landscape and the only noises you will hear are those of

nature. And this is The Real Thailand.

Each of Pura Vidas pool villas feature pavilion style

architecture, use vibrant red and grey throughout and their

design draws on Zen minimalism making inspirational and

effectual interiors. The main house, yes the villas are split

between 2 buildings, boasts spacious living and dining

THE LATEST

CRAZE

TO HIT

THE ISLAND

Beto was the sort of guy who, as well as being able

to dance on his feet could think on his feet too, so

he improvised using his upbeat Latin music tapes

together with cardiovascular exercise, the class

went wild and Zumba was born.

Today, there are more than 25,000 ofcial Zumba

fitness instructors who conduct classes all over

the world and Zumba fitness has been featured

in newspapers, magazines, TV shows, and many

more media outlets.

Zumba has been built on a foundation of latin

music and dance. The dance moves are based

on a variety of latin styles including meringue,

pop, reggaeton, cumbia, mambo, slasa, salsaton,

amenco, rumba, and calypso. Both slow and fast

rhythms are involved so Zumba enthusiasts receive

a variety to beat the boredom and increase agility

and muscular involvement.

The dance tness program uses the principles of

resistance training and tness interval training toincrease caloric output and all-body toning.

The idea behind combining easy dance steps in a

tness program is to help those who have a negative

association with exercise and fitness re-framing

their attitude about fitness and exercise.

Most that have started on the Zumba tness path

are addicted to the program.

What is zumba you may be asking yourself?

Are you honestly telling me you dont

know about the wacky fitness dance

craze taking over the world as I write this

article? Well if you dont know already, its certainly

time to get to know about it, and maybe after reading

this article you may gain enough interest to get those

workout shoes on and show us some of your moves!

Firstly, lets give you a brief history lesson to settle you

in for the ride - Zumba originated in the early 1990`s

from Colombia, and it was a dance trainer there

named Beto Perez, who came up with this wicked

concept. It was only by chance he invented this style

of dance workout, as the rumour is, one day when he

got to his usual class to teach aerobics he had forgot-

ten the tapes he used for his class. Luckily, Beto had

some old salsa and merengue music tapes that he

loved to listen to in his car.

Zumbatomic with Zumba PhuketThe Zumba Phuket Fitness team, made up of some very

highly talented and creative individuals, has now brought this

phenomenon to the island and its not only the adults who can

take part. Designed exclusively for kids aged 4 - 12 years,

Zumbatomic classes are rockin, high-energy tness-parties

packed with specially choreographed, kid-friendly routines

and all the music kids love, like hip-hop, reggaeton, cumbia

and more.

Smiley, energetic, Mexican born Adriana Jonsson is one of

the founders of Zumba Phuket and is also a licensed Zumba-

tomic instructor she told us Its not an easy job trying to get

your kids to be interested in doing something physical such

as playing outside or sports if they arent into it. Parents know

that things have denitely changed since they were children.

People

There werent nearly as many things to do inside

the house as there are today. Modern day kids have

access to an extensive line of video games with

multiple gaming systems, more TV shows and

cartoons tailored to them, the internet and many

other things that they can do inside.

Parents love Zumbatomic because of the effects

it has on kids, increasing their focus and self-

condence, boosting metabolism and enhancing

coordination she added.

Maybe your kid isnt into the competitive nature of

sports, or maybe your kids friends live in different

neighborhoods and they stay inside more than youd

like. Zumbatomic is a great option to help them get

out and experience something active.

According to Agency for Real Estate Affairs

(AREA)s survey into the situation for new

properties in the resort areas of Phuket,

as of November 2011, 114 new projects

had emerged consisting of 6,216 units, with a total

selling price of 91,417 million Baht. With regards to

sales, 3,773 of those units were sold at an average

of 14.707 million baht per unit. With the world

economy expected to improve in 2012 these gures

are likely to increase signicantly.

Information gained from the southern branch of

Bank of Thailand, states the total number of real

estate bank credits used in Phuket in 2011 was

valued at 14,060 million Baht. It expects this gure

to increase in 2012. Properties which cost less than

5 million Baht are affordable for real estate consumers

in Phuket. However, those properties selling for 10

million Baht and over still need to see some balance.

The busiest area for property investment in Phuket is

affordable housing estates, small hotels, and modern

condominiums.

Phuketindex.com has spoken to a variety of people

involved in the property market to ask their opinion

on the current and future situation of property

development on the island.

Property &Home Dcor

Mr TanantulHead of the Phuket Real Estate Association said

about the current situation regarding property

investment, The feedback on this years

property market tends to be positive as tourism

in Phuket is continuously good. I personally

believe this is also due to the fact there are more

Russians visiting. Moreover, these tourists are

buying houses and investing in Phuket. The low

end and middle property markets are growing

because of tourists. Having said that, the high

end property market is running slightly slower

than usual due to the fact there are a smaller

number of European investors putting their

money into the more expensive properties. At

present, there are so many developments in the

high end market such as Sanrisi and Pruksa

Village.

Its possible the capital raised fromPhukets real estate market this yearcould reach 20,000 -30,000 million Baht,a large increase on last year (10,000million Baht).

There is a great deal of competition in the low

end property market, with small houses and

condominiums costing 8-9 hundred thousand

Baht being in great demand.

Mr Tanan Tanphaibul also added, The low end

property market has become very popular and

is growing so fast. The island is in need of more

28-30 square metre condominiums with prices

around 8-9 hundred thousand Baht. The reason

this market is so popular is these properties

are ideal for consumers looking to make a good

investment and a prot.

Currently, there is hardly any difference between

a monthly mortgage payment and monthly rental

payment. Therefore, those people coming to

work in Phuket now prefer buying a property

rather than renting. It has been found that Kathu

is the most popular area for investors choosing

to construct, while the north of the island is

where foreigners are choosing to invest.

Land in Phuket is now very expensive, starting

from 15-20 million Baht per rai.

Mr Suriya Wannabuit, Sansiris Executive Vice President

for Project Management and Marketing revealed, Our

Company has surveyed the markets in Phuket and found

the demands of it are very high because workers and

businessmen based here are in need of houses. Properties

with great designs, located in great areas are suitable and

match their lifestyles. This is why we decided to introduce

our Habitia project - a project of 244, 2 storey semi-detached

houses. We sold around 50% after one week, proving that

those choosing to live in Phuket have a high demand for

these types of houses. It also proved they have condence

in the Sansiri product and its quality.

Within Phukets property market, there are many houses

with unique selling points. Some focus on price and cheap

installments, some focus on location and design. However,

Sansiri focuses on reality of living. That is to say people

settle down in great environments and nice societies

because they want to live happily in houses

which can be of great use to them. From that,

our houses are modernly designed and as

we are inspired by Phukets history and itscivilisation, we integrated Sino-Portuguese

with modern designs.

We are proud to present Habitia to our

customers in Phuket. Habitia is a project

whose houses are designed with new and

great ideas. Besides its modern design,

Habitia gives its customers a real feeling of

a living place. Moreover, Habitia is located in

Tambol Koh Kaew which is a great location

because it is convenient to travel to town, the

airport, Patong, business areas, and tourist

attractions. We hope Habitia will meet the

needs of and satisfy those looking for

houses in Phuket Mr Suriya added.

Another interesting aspect of property

investment is a Condotel. A Condotel

is a building used as both a condo-

minium and a hotel. The se ho tels

have condominium units which

al low someone to own a full-service

vacation home. When they are not

using this home, they can leverage

the marketing and management

done by the Management Company

to rent and manage the condo unit asit would a hotel room..

The Beach Condotel is an innova-

tive condominium aimed at meeting

its buyers and sales agents needs. Mr

Karn Prachumpan, Excutive Managing

Director of The Beach Development

Ltd. owner of this creative project

revealed, Condotel investment is a

transaction of property which gives

buyers money back. The prot will be

returned every 6 months and it guar-

antees buyers will still get prot in the

future. More importantly, buyers gainownership of the units without having

to pay installments and still gain

prot. For many years, community

malls, small hotels, and shophouses

have been structured into a small

community in locations such as Kata,

Karon and around other projects.

The Beach Condotel is located in

the center of everything. Its comprised

of 352 fully furnished units close to

the swimming pool. Each oor is

uniquely designed using the 4 regions of Thailand as

their theme. This idea might suit foreign investorswho want to own part of a small private hotel. I see

Condotels as a great investment, buyers are certain

to benet since prices for land and rooms in Phuket

are increasing year by year.

Mr Karn has also given some comments about

condominiums in Phuket. To begin, Phuket is not

as badly affected by economic problems like other

provinces. Phukets capital comes straight to Phuket

and is gained not only from Thailand, but from other

countries. There are many different groups of customers

here, causing the condominium market in

Phuket to vary. Due to their different target

markets, investors tend to use different brands.

More importantly, leading property development

companies are going to control most of the

market share this year and prices of condominium

projects are going to be more specic since they

aim for their target groups of customers.

Condominium units which cost around 3-8 million

Baht are aimed at Asian customers, while ones

which cost about 20 million Baht are aimed at

European, Australian, and Scandinavian customers.

Russians, that buy weekend houses in

Phuket. There are now as many Russian

buyers in Phuket as Europeans. One

factor that triggers more Russians to buy

houses in Phuket is the cold weather

in Eastern Europe. So, they move to

Phuket for a warmer, more comfortable

place. It s especially cold betweenOctober and April, meaning Phuket is

packed with Russians during this time.

In addition, it is now so much easier to

travel to Phuket as there are more direct

flights from both big and small cities in

Russia. In the past, Russians ran from

the cold wave to Turkey or Egypt, but

since the political issues have started

in those countries and living expenses

have increased, Phuket has become

another alternative for them. Phuket has

become a destination of choice for those

weekend house buyers in the middle to

high classes.

Mr Nattha briey mentioned that property

markets in Phuket have not provided

premium products yet. However, a project

of Super Ultra Villas with price tags of

300 million Baht each will be available

this year. The project will be located

in the north of the island in the area

of a quiet and private beach. Since its

a niche market, high-end foreigncustomers are their target group.
