Considering dental treatment in Thailand?

NEXT DEPARTURE DATE 24TH SEPTEMBER

Is it safe? What about hygiene? Do the doctors know what they are doing? Is it cheaper? What is the hospital like?

YES it is safe, hygienic, and the doctors are qualified and operating in internationally recognised hospitals.

Take out the uncertainty of your medical experience and book with Whitsunday Medical Tours.

You will be personally hosted by one of our trained health professionals, who hold relationships with the medical staff in Thailand, assist with communication barriers and will be with you to assist and comfort you every step of the way.

Want to know more? Let’s meet for an obligation free chat, either in our Cannonvale Clinic or out for a coffee.

I personally recommend and have witnessed the high standards that are offered from the dental hospitals in Thailand, after having travelled with a number of friends and clients in recent months. Our aim is to take all the worry out of the experience for our clients, and to give them all the answers they need before and during the trip, with the only major side effect being a beautiful smile at the end of it all!

People are so conscious of their teeth, they have the capacity to make you feel either very insecure or very confident.

I love seeing the transformation of my clients once they have experienced treatment. And all for a fraction of the price you would pay here in Australia.

Located a pleasant 20 minute ferry ride from the coast of Townsville lies a tropical paradise which is perhaps one of Queensland’s best kept secrets.

Named by Captain James Cook in 1770 for the unusual effect the island seemed to have on the ship’s compass, Magnetic Island is a feast of flora, fauna and family fun.

Accessible by passenger and car ferry, there’s no easier way to head off for a tropical island adventure, where discovery and fun can be found at any of Magnetic Island’s 23 picturesque beaches.

Spot koalas in their natural habitat as you climb to the historic World War Two forts, or take a guided tour around the circumference of the island on a jetski. Combine nature and education at Bungalow Bay Koala Village where your children can hold a koala, snake, crocodile, turtle, lizard and many more native animals.

HOLIDAY For the discovery adventure of a lifetime, or to simply glimmer in the majestic sun.

Where in the world would you rather be?

Where to eat:

Maggie is abundant with quality cafés and restaurants to keep the taste buds tingling with delight. For a fun evening out, hire an island baby-sitter and book a table at Noodies in Horseshoe Bay. The Mexican-themed restaurant hand out complimentary sombreros to accompany margaritas and cocktails sold in jugs. The view across the bay at sunset is stunning, so book an outdoor table on a fine evening.

MUST DO:

Maggie is home to one of the best cabaret shows in Queensland. On Friday and Saturday evenings, be entertained while you dine at the Stage Door Theatre Restaurant. Enjoy sumptuous cuisine while entertainers Bernadette and Phil wow the audience during their laugh-a-minute show.

FOR THE KIDS:

Pack the kids scooters and skateboards as there is an awesome undercover skate park on-route to Horseshoe Bay that they will love. Pack a picnic lunch for under the palm trees at Alma Bay where after building sandcastles on the beach, your children can have hours of fun at the playground which features an exhilarating flying fox.

Phuket Melbourne

When in Phuket, one might be forgiven for wanting to laze gracefully on one of the many golden beaches, sipping cocktails while floating in your private pool or shopping for designer knock-offs in the city, but this island paradise off the coast of Thailand is also a mecca for fun and adventure.

If it swells, surf it. Phuket is blessed with an assortment of rolling waves crashing onto glittering beaches. A relatively short stretch of sand at the South tip of the island, Nai Harn is one of Phuket’s most picturesque beaches and one of the most popular for catching a wave. If riding the top of the water isn’t your thing, experience the thrill of scuba diving the Similan Islands, with a stunning array of abundant marine life.

For the discovery adventure of a lifetime, check out the Phang Nga Bay tour. Paddle the ocean beside towering mountains, diving in and out of impressive caves and pausing on seemingly untouched island paradise beaches. The trip includes a visit to Ko Tapu Island, or more commonly called ‘James Bond Island’, a cylindrical limestone structure that juts out of the water just offshore that starred in the 1974 Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun. Once you’ve had enough sun there’s much more to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

Where to stay:

A fusion of Asian and Arabian influences, the Baray Villas Resort located at Kata Beach cater to every touch of luxury. An in-floor cool water Jacuzzi opens out into a private plunge pool, which accesses the main pool through private gates. Unbelievable value at an average of $300AUD per night for such luxurious surroundings.

Quench your thirst:

For an amazing selection of Belgian beers, try the European vibe of The Brasserie in Phuket Town. Exceptional food as well as a separate oyster and champagne bar make this a fun night spot to kick off an evening of good cheer.

CULTURE:

The Wat, or temple, is one of the most beautiful sights to absorb local culture, and Wat Chalong is a stunning example. It is the largest temple in Phuket and is richly decorated with gorgeous colours and countless images of Buddha, as well as icons from Thai and Buddhist mythology.

Melbourne is a smorgasbord for the senses, from delectable cuisine in laid-back laneways, to a latte from a street vendor in a lush park, theatre, shopping and a heritage rich in culture, all wrapped up within a vibrant atmosphere.

The well preserved Victorian architecture provides a soft contrast to the towering modern skyline. The city is surprisingly easy to navigate, especially when you discover the hidden shopping and dining delights lurking in the laneways. A free city circular tram and communal bicycle stations throughout the city make exploring the sites stress-free and affordable.

A city of neighbourhoods, Melbourne draws its character from a wealth of immigrant communities who still have a strong presence in the city today. From the Greek quarter to the string of Italian restaurants known as ‘Little Italy’ on Bourke Street, Chinatown or the beachside casual vibe of St Kilda, each vibe plays a strong part in an eclectic city rich in exceptional food and art.

After you have experienced the culture and vibe that Melbourne has to offer, it’s easy to understand why this buzzing city was voted the ‘world’s most liveable city’ two years running in the Global Liveability Survey.

Where to stay:

Think a self-catering apartment in the CBD is out of your price range? Try the Mantra on Russell.

Centrally located to some of Melbourne’s top restaurants, shopping precincts and only a few minutes’ walk from the free city tram, you can experience spacious apartment living from as little as $170 per night.

Caffeine hit:

Undoubtedly the best coffee is at the Oak Room, on High Street in Ashburton. A remarkable coffee awaits in a welcoming atmosphere, with an impressively fresh breakfast and lunch menu. With super-fast wifi available, you can upload a selfie as you sip your perfect macchiato.

Where to eat:

Brimming with world-class chefs serving innovative cuisine, Melbourne is a virtual feast for any foodie.

A world of roof-top restaurants offer glorious views over the city skyline. A favourite with the locals and Trip Advisor’s number one ranked restaurant is the modern Italian Esca Grill.

Specialising in steak and seafood, fresh premium produce is combined with elegant dining and superior service. Bookings are a must.

PERTH

More than a mining city, Perths substantial growth has created a cosmopolitan lifestyle, where chic city streets are only a few minutes drive away from lush bush-lands, beautifully manicured beaches or expansive parklands.

With new shopping and dining hubs including Crown Perth, one40william and Brookfield Place, it’s never been easier to grab a bargain while enjoying exquisite cuisine.

While the city offers excitement and charm, the diverse countryside is what sets this city apart from the rest. Enjoy fine chocolate, a cheeky vino, gourmet cheese and rich coffee tasting in the Swan Valley, enjoy scenic walking and cycling trails amongst the fresh produce in the Perth Hills, and explore the rolling green landscape and quaint historic villages of the Avon Valley.

Perth's vibrant multiculturalism is particularly evident in its food scene, and seafood takes centre stage, caught fresh from the Indian Ocean. The warm climate makes for sensational al fresco dining where diners spill onto the sidewalks to converse over a glass of chilled wine. The choice of scenery between river, beach and city all provide magical vantage points to marvel at a stunning West Coast sunset.

For the kids:

If you have tiny tots aged from two and up, the Cuddly Animal Farm in Swan Valley will fill their day with giggles and delight. From cuddling rabbits, petting alpaca and even milking a goat, there are hundreds of furry critters to be gleefully petted.

Chill day:

The southern port city of Freemantle offers you a glimpse of a colonial and gold-seekers past in balance with a modern and vibrant present. Immerse yourself in the fascinating maritime history where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean, bask in the atmosphere of Cappuccino Strip or take a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island for magical snorkelling or simply to relax on the golden beaches.

Where to eat:

For a touch of old Hollywood glamour, fine dining restaurant 1907, in Perth’s CBD, is an experience not to be missed. Set amongst a historic building infused with luxurious furnishings, the black truffle degustation will set you back $160 per person, but is an incredible taste journey you will never forget.

KAKADU NORTHERN TERRITORY

Experience breathtaking landscapes, bustling wildlife and a rich indigenous culture amongst the UNESCO World Heritage area of Kakadu National Park.

Located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory, this adventure playground in the tropics is only a three hour drive from Darwin.

Kakadu is Australia’s largest national park, and at about a third of the size of Tasmania, there is an abundance of aboriginal rock galleries, steep gorges, plummeting waterfalls and lush tropical bush just beckoning to be explored.

With so much raw beauty, adventure is at its finest and most pure. Choose to rough it in a rugged style camping tour where the only thing that comes in-between you and nature is a piece of canvas, or take part in a safari style tour with robust tents you can stand in.

Learn how to cook bush-fire style and play the didgeridoo like a master. For a shot of adrenalin amongst rugged beauty, experience canoeing up the Katherine Gorge. Get up close and personal with crocodiles that inhabit the majority of the waterways in this majestic national park.

4WD:

It is possible to self-drive yourself via 4WD to the spectacular Jim Jim Falls. Turn east off the Kakadu Highway 43 km south of the Bowali Centre. Travel the next 60km in 4WD and allow two hours. The final 10km includes sandy areas.

You need to walk 2km through monsoonal forest and over boulders to reach the deep plunge pool. Warning – Crocodiles can inhabit these waters so follow all signage.

Magical moment:

Gunlom, in the southern part of Kakadu, is the idyllic combination of waterfall and serene plunge pool, with picnic areas shaded by native gums, with sweeping views of south Kakadu. Gaze across the tree tops as you take a cooling dip at the top of a waterfall. An experience as close to heaven as our beautiful land offers.

Monsoon season:

If experiencing Kakadu during January and February, many areas are not accessible on land due to being immersed under water, so opt for a scenic flight over the roaring waterfalls, at full flow during the height of the rainy season.

QUEENSTOWN

- NEW ZEALAND

The birthplace of adventure tourism, Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island is a virtual playground for adrenaline junkies.

Spectacular rollercoaster terrain make Coronet Peak Ski Field an exciting destination for snow lovers of any ability. If you’ve never skied before, don’t let that stop you. Lessons and learners slopes make it possible for anyone to have an enjoyable day on the top of the world.

The world’s first commercial bunjy jump was invented in Queenstown on the historical Kawarau Bridge by AJ Hackett, and tandem paragliding was also pioneered in Queenstown. Following in the footsteps of these adventure pioneers, Queenstown now offers a plethora of heartpounding attractions, from zip-lining, jet boating and white water rafting to canyoning, abseiling, kite skiing and river surfing.

Romance:

: After a day of heart-stopping thrills, there’s no better way to unwind than with a hot tub overlooking the Kawerau Gorge at sunset.

Family adventure:

Travel up the gondola to experience breathtaking views across Lake Wakatipu. While up top, enjoy a Maori cultural haka experience, and satisfy hunger with a bite to eat in the scenic restaurant before zipping down the mountain riding a luge. Suitable for all ages and ability, gondola and luge packages are available from $24 per child and $34 per adult.

Considering dental work in Thailand?

YOU NEED A MEDICAL HOLIDAY!

Sally did! This was her recent experience with Whitsunday Medical Tours.

V o These days many of us know someone who has had dental work in Thailand. Whether is the lower cost or no wait period, more and more people are taking the trip to Thailand. Aptly titled ‘the land of smiles’, for its generosity, Thailand has now also extended this to include highly reputable dental hospitals.

Sally Thrupp recently booked and travelled with Whitsunday Medical Tours. Her treatment included a crown, three wisdom teeth extractions, retainer and cap removal, seven fillings, cleaning, x-rays, laser whitening and a custom home whitening kit. ‘I couldn’t believe it – I was quoted over $7000 for this procedure here, and exactly the same cost me $2500 in Thailand!’

WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND USE WHITSUNDAY MEDICAL TOURS?

Sally is the Venue Manager at Mama Africa Nightclub in Airlie Beach.

We recently caught up with her to get the run down on her full experience.

WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

WHAT WAS THE DENTAL HOSPITAL LIKE?

I was surprised how well the hospital catered for international guests; it was friendly, very professional and immaculate. Staff had great English skills. I had a couple of days in between my appointments so I ventured up to Chiang Mai. My dentist was concerned because I was travelling on my own so she gave me her mobile number just in case I got into trouble! That is service!

WHAT MADE YOU ENQUIRE WITH WHITSUNDAY MEDICAL TOURS?

My mother read about WMT in Core Magazine actually and pointed it out to me. I had been telling her that I wanted to go to Thailand to get my teeth done there due to the cost savings. Rowena was fantastic, she organised everything including accommodation, flights and all my dental appointments. She took out all the worry. Her local knowledge was excellent and knowing she is a health professional as well gave me added comfort that I was in good hands, not only in Thailand but at all times during the whole experience. Rowena and I travelled on the same flight and one of her assistants picked us up from the airport. I was accompanied to my accommodation and all my appointments. She made sure the dentist understood exactly what I wanted. I am so happy with my results.

Everybody and anybody! Having a beautiful smile can really boost your self-confidence, money well spent. Even better if you can save some at the same time!

My hotel was in a great part of Bangkok close to the markets, restaurants and spas. I had only a short amount of time off work but still managed to explore Chiang Mai, it was beautiful.

before....

It had been quite some time since Jemma last had her hair cut and coloured. She'd been sporting the (in-)famous messy top-knot for pretty much every occasion because "it took too long to style". A common concern amongst many young women.

Haircut It was important to keep a style that matched Jemma's lifestyle, and natural texture of hair. She has fine hair, plenty of it, and prone to "boofyness". With that in mind, we opted for a super blunt lob (long-bob), slightly asymmetrical (longer on one side), changing her existing centre part to a much softer side part.

Colour To get the ball rolling for summer, we decided to go a couple shades lighter. With Jemma's skin tone, we needed to keep the hair cool and natural looking rather than any red or brassy tones.

We lifted out the existing dark brown, and then applied a cool hazelnut/biscuit light brown, keeping a zig-zag section underneath of an ash blonde. We wanted the colour to not be too noticeable while Jemma's hair was in natural fall, and create a peek-a-boo type texture to an otherwise solid style.

Styling With Jemma's new length, she agrees that she will make more attempt to style her hair differently.

Be it curled, straight, messy, or sleek - she's got much more option now (and it will take a lot less time). Today we wanted to utilise Jemma's natural wave, using only Sebastian Professional 'Trilliant' for thermal protection, shimmer, and a light hold, and a blow dryer & flat brush. Finishing with a little de-frizz polish 'liquid gloss', Jemma says her hair "looks great and feels amazing!!"

Makeup For Jemma’s make up we wanted to bring out her hazel/green eyes so we created a soft lilac base with a darker navy blue accent in the outside corners of her eyes.Nothing bright just soft tones.

We framed that with generous coats of mascara and soft blended eyeliner. For the foundation we used Airbrush make up to give her a flawless finish adding some highlighter on top her cheeks to accentuate her cheek bones.Lips where a Blushing Nude shade with a gloss over the top. Keeping her lips natural.

We wanted her to try something new in tones that would match her new fabulous colour!

Wax Management I often get asked how one should manage the wax in their ears and what the purpose of it is. Our grandparents actually got it right when they said “nothing smaller than your elbow in your ears”.

Although an overproduction of wax can be detrimental the constant removal or absence of it can cause much bigger problems.

Ear wax or cerumen has several purposes, firstly the oils in it have natural antifungal and antibacterial properties which can prevent the onset as well as the sustenance of ear infections within the ear canal. Further contributing to this is the role it plays in keeping the ear canal at a certain pH level as its acidity is unfavourable for many micro-organisms. Another major role it plays is to trap any foreign objects which enter the ear from progressing down into the ear canal through its sticky consistency.

This also applies to small insects such as bugs, cockroaches, flies and beetles which can crawl or fly into the ear.

can be very difficult and painful to remove. Not to mention removing all the antifungal and antibacterial oils from the ear canal walls.

Further contributing to this is the actual smell of the wax which acts as a deterrent to prevent insects from actually wanting to crawl into these orifices whilst we are sleeping.

The best way to remove wax is for it to wait until it progresses out of the ear canal into the opening of the ear and then wiping it out with a tissue. If there is excessive wax in the ear canal which has to be removed because it is hampering hearing or hearing aid use, then there are several options for removal. You can try wax softener which may soften it enough for it to work its own way out, however more often than not it does not remove it. If this does not work you can consult your GP who may remove it via suction or syringing while the wax is soft. Alternatively you can consult Audiologists who have done specialist wax removal training and they can remove it straight away.

Attempts to remove ear wax can also lead to problems. I have attended to several people who permanently lost the hearing in an ear because they were bumped whilst cleaning an ear with a bobby-pin, toothpick or cotton wool bud.

These items can perforate the ear drum and rupture the inner ear causing permanent deafness and balance problems. Furthermore using cotton wool buds to clean the ear usually just pushes the wax further into the ear canal and impacts the wax into a hard ball which
