TRAVELLIVE 04-2017

Dear readers, In this issue, Travellive will bring you back to the real background of the famous films, such as Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars, Gladiator,…That is the small village of Ait Benhaddou in the southeast of Morocco in the distant region of Africa. Although the world is indeed so huge and somewhat surrealist, boundless imagination of man makes everything closer together. That is another nuance that we have got to know through the Harry Potter movies. Now, you don’t have to set foot on distant Britain to discover the extraordinary world of magicians with Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village and even the simple magic performances. Everything can be seen in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Osaka, Japan. You will find many interesting things through the travel with reporters of Travellive to this place. Leaving the world of movies, you continue to be lost in the stunning scenery of Krabi with white-sand beaches and blue sea, that is considered a new “paradise” in Southern Thailand, or travel to Java Island to explore the active volcanoes. Also, you can simply book a leisure trip at Novotel Phu Quoc Resort. We wish you an entertaining start for an exciting summer. Now, please get ready for departure. Editorial board

This March, we all are excited for the blockbuster-<br />

Kong: Skull Island that not only attracts audiences but<br />

visitors with the magnificent landscapes in Vietnam.<br />

Travellive will bring you back to the real background<br />

of the famous films, such as Lawrence of Arabia,<br />

Star Wars, Gladiator,... That is the small village<br />

of Ait Benhaddou in the southeast of Morocco in<br />

the distant region of Africa. Although the world is<br />

indeed so huge and somewhat surrealist, boundless<br />

imagination of man makes everything closer<br />

together. That is another nuance that we have got<br />

to know through the Harry Potter movies. Now, you<br />

don't have to set foot on distant Britain to discover<br />

the extraordinary world of magicians with Hogwarts<br />

Castle, Hogsmeade Village and even the simple<br />

magic performances. Everything can be seen in the<br />

Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Osaka, Japan.<br />

You will find many interesting things through the<br />

travel with reporters of Travellive to this place.<br />

Leaving the world of movies, you continue to be<br />

lost in the stunning scenery of Krabi with whitesand<br />

beaches and blue sea, that is considered a<br />

new "paradise" in Southern Thailand, or travel to<br />

Java Island to explore the active volcanoes. Also,<br />

you can simply book a leisure trip at Novotel Phu<br />

Quoc Resort.<br />

We wish you an entertaining start for an exciting<br />

summer!<br />

hoi an On holidays, I love strolling<br />

on beach in the early morning when<br />

my kids are still sleeping, taking in the<br />

fresh scents of plants and looking at<br />

tiny dew drops on green leaves. Hoi<br />

An, of course, is a great place for such<br />

relaxing feeling.<br />

The sky is clear and the waves<br />

are gently lapping at the shore.<br />

Fresh sea breeze pampers<br />

my skin. Some visitors are<br />

practicing Taichi on the green grass<br />

along the private beach of Palm<br />

Garden Resort. On the tile roof of<br />

suites designed in an ancient Hoi An<br />

style is a cat curling up, waiting for<br />

the first rays of the sun. Three foreign<br />

visitors choose a great place on the<br />

side of Terrace Restaurant to enjoy<br />

their breakfast while contemplating<br />

the beauty of the surrounding tropical<br />

forest. The staff start their new<br />

working day, saying "Good morning"<br />

with smiles to every guest they meet.<br />

Immerse yourself in the cool water<br />

of the swimming pool, lazily enjoy the<br />

beach, or read a favorite book while<br />

lying on a hammock in the garden. For<br />

adventure lovers, surf on the ocean<br />

with a canoe or kayak with your<br />

loved one. Kids are invited to partake<br />

in special activities. The resort also<br />

offers complementary shuttle bus to<br />

the ancient town. More interesting,<br />

you can ride a bicycle to explore<br />

attractions along the way.<br />

After a tiring day, soak in Jacuzzi<br />

and relax with therapies at Palm Spa<br />

and regenerate energy. Come and<br />

experience Hoi An!<br />

In the middle of April <strong>2017</strong>, MerPerle Sparkling<br />

Waves - Hon Tam Island will lauch the leading<br />

entertaining in Vietnam with an array of<br />

exciting sports and games. The most highlighted<br />

experience is US Seabreacher first time<br />

appearing in Nha Trang.<br />

Seabreacher is a unique watercraft. While<br />

Seabreacher y is designed in the shape of<br />

a killer whale, the Seabreacher Z looks<br />

like a dolphin with the ability to imitate<br />

a real dolphin’s movements. The watercrafts<br />

are equipped with a system of long breathing<br />

tubes, allowing passengers to experience exciting<br />

moments when the vessel rolls 360 degrees C.<br />

Seabreachers have been the strongest and most<br />

special type of watercrafts that have two seats.<br />

When diving 1.5m under the water, Seabreacher<br />

can move at the speed of 33km/h. However, diving<br />

below snorkel depth will only cause the engine to<br />

stall, and then the boat will always pop back to the<br />

surface to ensure safety for users.<br />

Apart from Seabreacher, visitors are invited<br />

to partake in different beach sports such as<br />

flyboarding, double parasailing, flying fish, jet ski,<br />

diving to watch coral reefs, and more.<br />

Nowadays, many hotels,<br />

restaurants and spas both in<br />

Vietnam and other countries<br />

have been following the latest<br />

trends in choosing interior<br />

decoration, and an especially<br />

common feature these days<br />

are tiles to show style and<br />

class. To elevate the style of<br />

your own space, it would not<br />

be easy to choose tiles that are<br />

both stylish and fit well with<br />

the preexisting interior. The<br />

matter of blending a classic<br />

always of great concern for<br />

LUXURIOUS MARBLE LOOK TILES<br />

<strong>2017</strong> marks the return of impressive marble-looking tiles. With advanced<br />

technique, diverse patterns and higher quality, the mock-marble tiles by Calacatta,<br />

Marvel XL, and Brick Atelier will set a new bar of luxury for your living space,<br />

from the living room to the bath room. Moreover, while in the past marble-looking<br />

tiles were expensive enough that only 4-5 star hotels and luxurious villas could<br />

afford, this year, you might consider using them for your own home as these days<br />

they are available at a more reasonable cost. Wood White, Babylon Stone, and<br />

Calacatta Gold are ideal affordable choices that yield the look of extravagance.<br />

For your liking and to match the building's architectural style, you can choose<br />

different colors and styles or mix natural marble-looking tiles with decorative ones<br />

to create highlights.<br />

THE ART OF ARRANGING<br />

The 3D Wall Design & Room collection by Atlas Concorde and<br />

DigitalArt by Ceramica Sant'Agostino offer a space a pleasant<br />

feeling and are the best representatives for the trend of more<br />

artistic layouts. The 3D tiles are inspired from various materials<br />

from lace, wool, linen, and madras to leather, tweed, and<br />

checkered wool as well as some forms of weaving and knitting,<br />

which all together make the design more evident on hard surfaces.<br />

The walls of living rooms or bathrooms can be made more elegant<br />

and lively with the simple addition of modern motifs, geometric<br />

patterns and fresh colors.<br />

NEW MULTI-DIMENSIONAL COMBINATIONS<br />

According to interior experts and architects as<br />

well as owners of restaurants and hotels, a new<br />

trend of <strong>2017</strong> is using one pattern or shapes to<br />

create multi-dimensional spaces and mosaic. The<br />

collection Marvel Gems consists of squares and<br />

polygons in seemingly random layouts, helping<br />

to create a classic yet modern space like at the<br />

YNDO Hotel. Moreover, premium decorative<br />

tiles in contrasting colors will impress anyone<br />

with a "photogenic" place. Some resorts even use<br />

garden tiles and living room tiles to make a truly<br />

photo-worthy space.

TILES WITH FLOWER DESIGN - A CLASSIC YET<br />

MODERN STYLE<br />

Azulej patterns are the first to be mentioned whenever someone<br />

might talk about tiles with flower design. Created by the<br />

renowned designer Patricia Urquiola, Azulej has won the best<br />

design award from Wallpaper Magazine. The collection of<br />

Azulej is designed with the Renaissance and experiments with<br />

an innovative printing technique. This type of tile was used<br />

in the main design of Prointel Offices in Madrid. In <strong>2017</strong>,<br />

with premium quality and innovative patterns, tiles with flower<br />

patters are still very popular in the world in general and<br />

Vietnam in particular. The collection imported from Europe<br />

by Vietceramics is always the No.1 choice. Together with<br />

enameled bricks, ventilation blocks, and mosaic tiles, tiles with<br />

flower designs are always favored with their simple material,<br />

various colors, and modern beauty.<br />

food&beverage<br />

"In your opinion, which is the most unique dish among Spanish cuisine?" Most<br />

of visitors share the same answer - Paella, and the place to enjoy this scrumptious<br />

dish is nowhere else but Madrid.<br />

Paella which<br />

means "the<br />

pan" in<br />

Spanish refers<br />

to the way it is prepare<br />

and served - on a large<br />

pan. The dish is very<br />

popular in Valencia and<br />

Murcia - the regions on<br />

the eastern coastal of<br />

Spain which is renowned<br />

for rice dishes.<br />

Paella became popular<br />

in Spain thanks to<br />

the Moors, a group of<br />

Muslim people living<br />

in Northwestern Africa.<br />

These people dominated<br />

numerous areas in Spain<br />

from 711 to 1492 and<br />

made a great impact on<br />

Spanish culinary culture.<br />

During the period, the<br />

Moors grew rice in the<br />

lands of now Valencia<br />

and Murcia. Since then,<br />

the rice dish has become<br />

a significant part in<br />

the culinary art there.<br />

The most unique kind<br />

of Paelle are Bomba<br />

and Calasparra. It is<br />

impressive that cooking<br />

such dishes requires one<br />

to add lot of water when<br />

cooking the rice but the<br />

grains still retain their<br />

original shape, making<br />

the Paella perfect.<br />

Little did people know<br />

that traditional Paella<br />

is not as various and<br />

attractive as it now.<br />

Before locals began<br />

adding seafood to the<br />

dish, they only used pork<br />

grilled in a traditional<br />

style, rice, beans, and<br />

snails to prepare Paella.<br />

Gradually, rabbit meat,<br />

liver, and chicken<br />

heart are also added.<br />

Nowadays, you can find<br />

everything in Paella, but<br />

if you want to try the<br />

original one, let's enjoy<br />

snails!<br />

If you have a chance to<br />

visit Madrid, then do<br />

not forget to enjoy the<br />

renowned dish. Rice,<br />

vegetables, meat, and<br />

the spices make Paella<br />

the most aromatic<br />

and vivid dish one can<br />

imagine. There are three<br />

main options for you,<br />

including Valencian<br />

Paella, seafood Paella,<br />

and mixed Paella.<br />

There are also various<br />

recipes for Paella. The<br />

Valencia's style includes<br />

chicken, rabbit meat,<br />

snails, and three types<br />

of fresh beans. Most<br />

modern-day Paella<br />

variations consist<br />

of seafood, chicken,<br />

and vegetables. The<br />

dish, therefore, is<br />

exceptionally nutritious.<br />

It is interesting that<br />

you don't need to follow<br />

any recipe, just adjust<br />

it to your own likings.<br />

Meanwhile, Paella's<br />

ingredients change<br />

from region to region,<br />

from time to time, and<br />

depend on the local<br />

traditions and available<br />

ingredients. As long<br />

as you choose fresh<br />

ingredients and cook<br />

with passion, you will<br />

create great Paella.<br />

Bµi:Thu Nguy‘n - Ånh: Nhi“u t∏c gi∂<br />

That was how the culinary expert Killian<br />

Fox praised the renowned oyster dish in<br />

Strangford Loung, in the Northern Ireland.<br />

It is no exaggeration when Killian Fox used<br />

the most beautiful words in his review of<br />

this dish. Oyster is always on the top of the list of healthy<br />

ingredients. Oyster is also a seafood that can be prepared<br />

in a multitude of ways, according to different tastes<br />

and occasions. You can simply enjoy oysters by eating<br />

fresh ones with lime or sauce of vinegar, chili powder,<br />

tangerine or orange extract. In Vietnam, the favorites<br />

include grilled oyster with oil and onion and baked oyster<br />

with cheese.<br />

Moreover, raw oyster (huître) is among one of the favorite<br />

and most nutritious dishes in France. In the Bretagne<br />

region, Cancale oyster is the most popular with thick meat, and the savory taste of the sea, along with<br />

the sweet and rich taste of other ingredients such as hazelnuts.<br />

However, as perhaps sad news for international gourmets, oyster dishes are considered things of luxury<br />

as their prices are never low. Therefore, the way to properly enjoy oyster must be as sophisticated as a<br />

fine art. At the renowned Maison Premiere Restaurant (Brooklyn), forget the classic way of combining<br />

oyster with wine. Instead, open your mind to the idea of the Swiss classic spirit of absinthe as a perfect<br />

partner to oysters instead. The harmony of oyster, rich in calcium and minerals, with a little mint and<br />

absinthe will bring you a pleasingly new dining experience.<br />

When enjoying oyster, you should carefully remove the meat from the shell, starting at the larger part.<br />

Just chew twice before swallowing to get the dish's essence. Meanwhile, even the very selection of oysters<br />

is a form of art. Pay attention to numerous factors such as the purity of sea water where the oysters are<br />

caught, their size and thickness (not too thin), the fresh fishy scent, the scars on the shells, and more.<br />

Much like a fine wine, the taste of oysters vary based on their sea of origin and the season in which they<br />

are caught.<br />

If you would like to enjoy fresh oyster, pay attention to the way that the oyster contains lime, Tabasco<br />

sauce, and shallots. The dish would be much better if the menu includes Asian grilled meat served with<br />

signature sauce.<br />

For those who are not interested in fresh dishes, try ground oyster with pasta sauce. A "safer" choice<br />

is cooked oyster. Don't forget that cream and butter are the best of seafood companions, bringing a,<br />

perhaps more familiar, warmth to one's soul. There are not words enough to express the attraction of<br />

oyster served with butter and toasted bread.<br />

"If I were to die tomorrow, I'd walk to Strangford, get a couple of bottles of<br />

really cold Chablis, and eat as many Strangford Lough oysters as I could. Then<br />

I'd die very happily indeed"<br />

SUMMER IS ALWAYS a perfect time to take the Sabbath<br />

Stroll', which distinctly means to meander around seaside towns as<br />

the sun sets on the horizon. As all the rays come together just right,<br />

a gorgeous sunset is born, you can sit there at The Beach Front<br />

with Pool Villa of Novotel Phu Quoc Resort, stare at the whole sky<br />

made of golden orange, cardinal red mixed burgundy purple, and<br />

sunbathe in a glamorous villa featuring private swimming pools<br />

and barbecues.<br />

Greek people said "Volta" when they leisurely promenade around,<br />

especially in the summer evening. Novotel Phu Quoc Resort offers<br />

you moments of "volta", when all you and friends have to do is<br />

having fun on the beach, biking around the garden, kayaking on<br />

the turquoise ocean, and so on.<br />

What else would be better than nice cocktails, gourmet coffees<br />

and tropical fruit drinks at a sleek, cozy Lounge Bar at Novotel Phu<br />

Quoc Resort, lazing around in the sun-soaked terrace filled of the<br />

island sun. Put on a nice and comfortable shirt, and relieve your<br />

youth and your freedom when being in this heaven of island!<br />

"Made First And Then Heaven"<br />

Visiting Mauritius in 1896, Mark Twain left a<br />

beautiful saying on this island "Mauritius was made<br />

first and then heaven; and heaven was copied after<br />

Mauritius." This tropical island, once a haunt for<br />

pirates, is now one of the hottest destination for<br />

your summer holiday in <strong>2017</strong> with flawless white<br />

powdery sands and turquoise waters, marked with<br />

scarlet flame trees and emerald sugar plantations.<br />

Located South-East of the African coast, and home<br />

to French, Indian, Creole, and Chinese, Mauritius is<br />

renowned for its hospitality and glamorous nature<br />

with botanical gardens which feature over 10,000<br />

different plant species such as coastal casuarina trees<br />

(called filaos), the Indian almond tree (badamier),<br />

ficus (multipliant), flametree (flamboyant), African<br />

tulip, bauhinia and jacaranda along with many<br />

more. The east coast is most renowned for its white<br />

powdery sand beaches, while the west coast is favored<br />

by families for its flat, calm beaches.<br />

You can come here to watch rare birds, walk with<br />

lions or swim with dolphins, encounter imported<br />

African animals at Casela, the island's premier ecoadventure<br />

park, and finally, enjoy the surprisingly<br />

affordable luxury with plentiful watersports, world<br />

class spas, top-flight golf courses and gourmet<br />

cuisine. Mauritius offers its all, from French<br />

colonial houses and imaginative animal parks to<br />

nature walks, quad biking, zip-lining and horse<br />

riding.<br />

Air Mauritius has concluded a number of<br />

agreements with partner airlines that initially<br />

enable it to offer two-way connections to 18 cities in<br />

countries, including Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).<br />

The Africa/southwest Indian Ocean to Singapore<br />

route and vice versa, with connections to Singapore<br />

from Mauritius, is another option as well. The<br />

reverse route operating from Singapore towards<br />

Africa may, in certain instances, include a one-night<br />

stopover in Mauritius.

Food and Heritage Exploration<br />

Penang, also known as the pearl of the orient, is one<br />

of the most touristic locations of Malaysia owing to its<br />

long and illustrious history. The name Penang comes<br />

from the Malay word Pinang, meaning the betel nut<br />

tree. The original name of Penang was Pulau Ka-satu<br />

or "First Island", but on August 12, 1786 it was it<br />

renamed to Prince of Wales Island to commemorate<br />

the birthday of the Prince of Wales, who later became<br />

King George IV.<br />

Alongside Melaka and Singapore, Penang was one<br />

of the Straits Settlements. The Island dominated the<br />

sea trade between India and the rest of Asia, and<br />

played an important role for merchants and pirates<br />

in the distant past. This partly explains Penang's<br />

beautiful cultural diversity nowadays. This island is<br />

especially known as a great melting pot of cultures<br />

and the food capital of Malaysia - from Penang laksa<br />

easily found off Macalister Road to banana leaf in<br />

Little India to seafood on Gurney Drive. You have it<br />

all here in the island!<br />

Georgetown, named after King George III of Great<br />

Britain, is the vibrant capital of Penang and a UNESCO<br />

World Heritage Site. The north side of the island is<br />

more developed while the south and southwest still<br />

have a lot of old fashioned kampungs and other small<br />

authentic villages. Coming to Penang, you can visit the<br />

Penang Butterfly Garden or a batik factory where nice<br />

batik art is on display and sold. Teluk Duyung (monkey<br />

beach) an "abandoned" beach and Pantai Kerachut,<br />

with a beautiful lake and breeding habitat for turtles<br />

can also be found here.<br />

The Super Luxury Private Escape<br />

Located in the heart of the South Pacific, Fiji, blessed<br />

with tropical palm-fringed islands and spectacular<br />

scenery below the waves, offers you the most private<br />

luxury escape. Among Fiji's archipelago of islands,<br />

there's Tiny Tavarua Island in the shape of a heart,<br />

which is one of the most perfectly romantic places in<br />

which to tie the knot or rekindle the flame for couples.<br />

Some of its most private and pristine islands that<br />

promise paradise on earth also includes Dolphin<br />

Island. Down the Suncoast side of the main island, this<br />

all-inclusive escape literally becomes your home away<br />

from home, because bookings here are on an exclusiveuse<br />

basis, which means you're the only guests of the<br />

island. Those who are after rustic luxury and ultraexclusive<br />

romance can come to Matangi - a horseshoeshaped<br />

island with untouched tropical rainforests and<br />

white sand beaches. One of three tiny volcanic islands<br />

east of the Taveuni Island, Matangi was off-limits until<br />

recently when private owners transformed it into a<br />

secret paradise. For the ultimate secret love nest, Fiji<br />

has another magnificent private island: Yasawa, which<br />

means "heaven" in Fijian, surrounded by lush tropical<br />

foliage, transparent turquoise waters, and teeming<br />

coral reefs. Drawaqa Island, or Barefoot Manta Island,<br />

also brings you to the best manta ray safaris.<br />

countries have all<br />

leading to a global<br />

explosion of medical<br />

tourism. And Asia,<br />

especially Thailand,<br />

Singapore, Korea,<br />

India, Malaysia.. is<br />

Ranked one of the best 50<br />

countries with best health<br />

care system by World Health<br />

Organization in 2016, Bangkok is<br />

leading the pack with top quality<br />

of their hospitals and hospitality.<br />

Wellness<br />

and Medical Spa<br />

Medical tourism is more than just<br />

health checks and illness treatment<br />

in hospitals, it also includes<br />

wellness, dermatology, medical spa<br />

for health and beauty restoration,<br />

skin institutes for relaxation,<br />

dental work, and cosmetic surgery.<br />

Given strong reputation for very<br />

reasonable prices and attentive<br />

services, it is easy to understand<br />

why Bangkok has quickly become<br />

the graceful hub of Asia in term of<br />

medical tourism.<br />

Thai massage is one of the most<br />

attractive features of Thai medical<br />

tourism. As always, tourists love<br />

visiting a spa or wellness institute<br />

to get facial treatments or massages<br />

after a long traveling day. Thai<br />

massage, known as Nuad Bo Rarn,<br />

translated as "ancient massage",<br />

is a unique style of bodywork<br />

combining acupressure, massage<br />

and yoga to create a holistic<br />

massage experience. It not only<br />

performs physical exercise but also<br />

involves emotional and mental<br />

meditation.<br />

Traditional Thai massage can<br />

prevent from illness, relieves<br />

pain, increase the blood flow,<br />

strengthen body immune<br />

system work. Not many people<br />

would miss a Thai massage<br />

while in this popular tropical<br />

destination. DII - Divana would be<br />

a recommendation for a holistic<br />

combination of wellness, and spa<br />

with signature Thai massages,<br />

using Oxygen treatment (Airnergy<br />

De-Stress) to rid the body of<br />

accumulated stress and fatigue, or<br />

Thai golden silk to nourish skin<br />

through amino acids and vitamins<br />

from the cocoons of silk worms<br />

If you might want to search for a<br />

more serious form of treatment<br />

such as plastic surgery, body<br />

slimming, hair restoration &<br />

transplantation procedures, or<br />

stem cell therapy then Dermaster<br />

should be at the top of your list<br />

with 5 private beauty centers<br />

including a Plastic Surgery<br />

center, a Hair Restoration &<br />

Transplantation center, a Skin<br />

Laser & Aesthetic center, and a<br />

center for Cell Therapy, Antiaging,<br />

and Body Slimming. Before<br />

processing any treatment which<br />

has been completely personalized<br />

for you, you will go through<br />

careful exams such as blood tests,<br />

health checks, hormone checks,<br />

evaluations for daily living style,<br />

eating habit and so on.<br />

Health Care in Bangkok<br />

Being the first place in Asia to<br />

have hospitals achieving Joint<br />

Commission International (JCI)<br />

accreditation, certifying that<br />

their hospitals meet the same<br />

rigorous standards of quality and<br />

safety as required in the United<br />

States of America, Bangkok has<br />

now become the medical hub<br />

of Asia with millions of medical<br />

tourists who annually travel to<br />

Thailand for treatments. What<br />

82<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

makes Bangkok so successful in<br />

the industry? Thailand's rocketing<br />

development in medial tourism<br />

can be summed in two words:<br />

Hospitals and Hospitality.<br />

In addition to having a highly<br />

advanced healthcare system,<br />

modern facilities, and an<br />

abundance of doctors with<br />

international medical degrees and<br />

board certifications, hospitals in<br />

Thailand such as Bumrungrad,<br />

Phyathai 2 are very popular to<br />

travelers, especially those from<br />

neighbor Asian countries thanks<br />

to generous hospitality which<br />

offer medical tourists with A-Z<br />

services such as pick-up as soon<br />

as the patient leave the aircraft,<br />

visa document support, online<br />

consultancy, and so on.<br />

Not only an ideal<br />

tropical destination for<br />

summer retreat, Bangkok<br />

is also a promising city<br />

for you to come and<br />

experience your favorite<br />

vacation with dedicated<br />

medical care.<br />

Bumrungrad Hospital, with<br />

over 4,800 employees, and free<br />

services available in more than 22<br />

languages (including Vietnamese),<br />

is not only accredited by the JCI,<br />

and others, is surely the shining<br />

star. At first glance, the hospital<br />

looks like a five-star hotel with<br />

floor-to-ceiling windows, art on<br />

the walls, water gardens, coffee<br />

shops, Mc Donald's, Japanese<br />

restaurants and a bookstore.<br />

Being a very savvy hospitals with<br />

test results updated and delivered<br />

electronically and pictures of each<br />

patient checked at every stage<br />

to avoid foul-ups, Bumrungrad<br />

make the entire experience of<br />

visitors very convenient and<br />

well-secured as they come here<br />

to seek for a complete array of<br />

diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical<br />

and rehabilitation services for<br />

comprehensive treatment and<br />

management of different diseases<br />

wide with minimal waiting times,<br />

rehabilitation and exceptional<br />

after-care.<br />

Phyathai 2 International Hospital<br />

is well-known for their Assisted<br />

Reproductive Center (ART) that<br />

provides evaluation and treatment<br />

of infertility, and pregnancy related<br />

problems. To summarize the<br />

process, the doctors will determine<br />

the cause of infertility, and then<br />

review with the patient(s) the<br />

treatment options available such<br />

as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization),<br />

ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm<br />

Injection), Genetic Screening Test:<br />

PGS, and Blastocyst. After that,<br />

pre-implantation genetic screening<br />

is done carefully before the vitro<br />

fertilization procedure begins. The<br />

most impressive technique here is<br />

Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection<br />

for the case of insufficient sperms<br />

such as low sperm count and<br />

poor morphology or poor motility.<br />

Instead of waiting for the right<br />

sperm to get inside the eggs, they<br />

can directly inject a single sperm<br />

directly into an egg in order to<br />

fertilize it.<br />

Not only an ideal tropical<br />

destination for summer retreat,<br />

Bangkok is also a promising city<br />

for you to come and experience<br />

your favorite vacation with<br />

dedicated medical care.<br />

Although they do not bear a<br />

great mission like marking a<br />

historical stage or conveying<br />

a message of struggle, the<br />

murals of the coastal village<br />

of Ha Thanh in Tam Thanh<br />

Commune, Quang Nam<br />

Province, of old George Town<br />

on Penang Island in Malaysia<br />

or of Florianopolis Island in<br />

Brazil, still merit popularity<br />

with tourists for depicting the<br />

simple beauty of contemporary<br />

local life.<br />

Murals of yesterday<br />

Murals are one of the important<br />

witnesses for the life of prehistoric<br />

man. The traces of mankind were<br />

discovered through the paintings<br />

of animals found in the more than<br />

16,000 year-old Lascaux caves in the<br />

Dordogne region of southwestern<br />

France.<br />

During the Renaissance in Italy, the<br />

famous painters Leonardo Da Vinci<br />

and Michelangelo Buonarroti also<br />

tested their ability with this art form.<br />

The mural of "The Last Supper" by<br />

Leonardo in the church of Santa<br />

Maria delle Grazie can be regarded as<br />

one of the masterpieces this painter<br />

left for mankind. Legend has it that,<br />

after occupying Milano, King Louis<br />

XII visited the church personally to<br />

contemplate the mural and express<br />

his wish to bring this mural to France.<br />

With the passage of time, the role of<br />

murals has also had changes. In the<br />

1920s, after the Mexican revolution,<br />

many artists considered murals as<br />

a means of communication. They<br />

used murals to convey social and<br />

political messages to the masses,<br />

and expressed their aspiration for a<br />

peaceful and united society.<br />

Modern times can be considered the<br />

heyday of murals, enabling artists<br />

to show creativity and express their<br />

innermost feelings to their heart's<br />

content. The murals have numerous<br />

themes, such as appealing to oppose<br />

racial discrimination and encouraging<br />

human beings to live responsibly<br />

with the environment and society.<br />

Or they are simply the artists'<br />

feelings for their beloved homelands,<br />

depicted on the walls along railways<br />

to city centers, on overpasses, and on the walls of factories, squares,<br />

stations, etc.<br />

In addition to graffiti, mosaic paintings, posters and works of<br />

installation, murals contribute to creating a fully worked-out picture<br />

of street art, that makes the normal life of man more colorful and<br />

poetic. Murals are no longer a special flavor of city dwellers.<br />

From Florianopolis to Tam Thanh<br />

Although it is not as well known as Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro,<br />

Florianopolis is still considered a city worth living in within Brazil<br />

thanks to its valuable works of art that show clearly the personalities<br />

of famous artists such as Vejam, Rizo and ValdiValdi. Lagoa, the<br />

place with the largest number of murals on the island, gives you an<br />

opportunity to wallow in the colorful world of cartoon characters.<br />

In addition to the walls, the artists also "embellish" dustbins,<br />

overpasses, shop fronts and itinerant merchants.<br />

Old George Town in Penang, Malaysia is also a rendezvous for mural<br />

lovers. UNESCO recognized this old quarter as an open-air museum<br />

of cartoons. The set of murals 101 Lost Kittens came into being to<br />

rouse the community's awareness of lost animals. The murals of<br />

90<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

graffito 3D with themes of daily life are to honor the local people.<br />

Also, somewhere in small alleys, you will see the message of<br />

joining hands to save the traditional art form of Malaysia from<br />

falling into oblivion.<br />

And Vietnam also has such a beautiful village of murals. Within<br />

the framework of the project of exchanging community arts with<br />

Korean artists, the mural village of Tam Thanh has become a<br />

must-see attraction for young people in the journey to heritage<br />

sites of Central Vietnam.<br />

Amid the deserted area with the white sand beach of Ha Thanh<br />

on the one side and the Truong Giang River surrounded by<br />

green fields on the other side, the simple and small houses seem<br />

to be just waking up after a long sleep.<br />

Currently, every corner of the village is a work of art. The simple<br />

images of a vendor carrying two heavy loads, fishermen heading<br />

for the open sea or a fence with beautiful flowers, through the<br />

eyes of Korean friends, become a great source of inspiration.<br />

Further information:<br />

Location:<br />

ñ The mural village of Tam Thanh<br />

was created from the coastal<br />

village of Ha Thanh in Tam Thanh<br />

Commune, in the suburb of Tam<br />

Ky City, Quang Ngai Province.<br />

This unique work of art is part of<br />

the framework of the projectsof<br />

exchanging community arts with<br />

Korean artists. Since its inauguration<br />

on June 28, 2016, the mural village<br />

of Tam Thanh has become a tourist<br />

site that attracts a large number of<br />

young people.<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ From Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City,<br />

you fly to Chu Lai Airport, just south<br />

of Tam Ky, the main city of Quang<br />

Nam Province. You can get to Tam<br />

Thanh by motorbike or car. The<br />

village is 7 km east of Tam Ky City.<br />

Activities:<br />

ñ In addition to the beautiful murals,<br />

Tam Thanh also attracts tourists<br />

with its beautiful and neglected<br />

beaches and the interesting life of its<br />

fishermen. It is also famous for fresh<br />

and delicious seafood.<br />

Within the framework of the project of exchanging<br />

community arts with Korean artists, the mural village of Tam<br />

Thanh has become a must-see attraction for young people in<br />

the journey to heritage sites of Central Vietnam.<br />

Murals without borders<br />

Murals are beautiful and attractive because they are filled with<br />

the values of cultural exchange. The colossal mosaic painting of<br />

Escadaria Selar„n - the colorful stairs of Selar„n - is typical of<br />

this beauty.<br />

In 1990, Jorge Selar„n, a Chilean artist who returned home after<br />

his journeys to various lands, decided to restore 250 stairs in<br />

ruins near his house with square bricks made from terra-cotta,<br />

mirrors and ceramics. It is noteworthy that before his death in<br />

2013, Jorge was still engrossed in perfecting his mosaic painting<br />

with pieces of terracotta offered by tourists from all over the<br />

world Among the murals in the fishing village of Tam Thanh,<br />

the most impressive one depicts a young woman facing the sea<br />

with a look full of hope, like a message of a bright future for<br />

herself and her village.<br />

If you want to find a strange destination to refresh your feelings,<br />

please visit the mural village of Tam Thanh this summer. You<br />

will see how very poetic life is when you become a "vignette" in<br />

the great murals in this place.<br />

In 1890, Mister Tran, whose<br />

real name is Le Van Huu,<br />

together with his family and<br />

a group of friends moved<br />

to Long Son Island in a<br />

simple boat for reclamation of the<br />

new land. After years, more and<br />

more people from different areas<br />

have moved to this place to settle<br />

and make new lives, making the<br />

island fruitful. In 1910, Mister Tran<br />

constructed the Big House. From<br />

1928, the house became the worship<br />

place for the community and also<br />

the temporary accommodation for<br />

newcomers to the island. During<br />

this time, mister Tran taught his<br />

relatives and villagers the art of<br />

living in a communal house.<br />

Long Son Big House consists<br />

of different areas designed in a<br />

Vietnamese style. However, the<br />

rooms were arranged casually. After<br />

he passed away, his lessons became<br />

a folk religion. The family members<br />

and locals remain the traditions<br />

of worshiping that he so dutifully<br />

taught them. The Big House attracts<br />

visitors not only by its architectural<br />

design and the precious antiques<br />

that are kept intact but also with its<br />

unique community culture.

Text: Kevin Gen Photos: Many Photographers<br />

The best reward you get after attempting to reach the volcano's<br />

peak is the chance to witness imposing blue fire that is created<br />

by ignited sulfuric gas. This is also one of the most impressive<br />

experience during the journey to discover Java.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 101

Although not the main tourist hub<br />

of Indonesia, Java holds a good<br />

range of natural jaw-droppers that<br />

tend to be overlooked due to the<br />

attractive force of the neighboring<br />

island of Bali. The country's third<br />

largest island boasts a population<br />

of over 141 million, which makes it<br />

the most populated island on Earth.<br />

That doesn't mean that you're up<br />

for an overcrowded city trip. Flying<br />

into Yogyakarta is an easy way to<br />

avoid the crowds in Jakarta and sets<br />

you up at a great starting point.<br />

In Yogyakarta, we paid a short visit<br />

to the renowned Borobudur temple<br />

compounds. Built twelve centuries<br />

ago, it has remained the largest<br />

Buddhist temple in the world and<br />

has been recognized by UNESCO<br />

as the world heritage site. Don't<br />

forget to amaze your taste buds by<br />

ordering some chicken satay from<br />

one of the many friendly street<br />

vendors while in the Yogyakarta.<br />

Java is considered the best place in<br />

all of Indonesia to try the dish. The<br />

Indonesian version of fried rice is<br />

called nasi goreng, and is also a<br />

dish you can't skip.<br />

The Early bird gets<br />

the WORM<br />

The next logical step from<br />

Yogyakarta is to head east towards<br />

Mount Bromo, part of the Tenggen<br />

Massif. Although cars and buses<br />

will get you there, we rightfully<br />

assumed the train would to be<br />

the most comfortable form of<br />

transportation. Even though it took<br />

up a good amount of our day, the<br />

seats were comfortable, and we<br />

were lucky enough to be seated<br />

in a rather empty and very quiet<br />

cabin. Trains will get you no nearer<br />

than the city of Probolinggo. From<br />

there you would have to hop on<br />

a bus or van to get closer to the<br />

volcano, which is a windy but not<br />

uncomfortable hour and a half ride.<br />

Tours to the viewpoint and the foot<br />

of the volcano generally start from<br />

3AM. A jeep will pick you up from<br />

your hotel to bring you there. Note<br />

that there are a limited amount of<br />

hotels and guest houses, so during<br />

peak season you might want to<br />

make your reservations well in<br />

advance.<br />

Another option is to walk to the<br />

viewpoint. Needless to say this will<br />

take you a good while longer, so<br />

you might want to set your alarm<br />

as early as 1AM, as we did. It is<br />

important to know that there are<br />

two different viewpoints. The one<br />

where most tour guides will take<br />

you is the newest one, from which<br />

you can take beautiful pictures of<br />

Mount Bromo. We went for option<br />

number two, which tends to be<br />

much quieter, more peaceful and<br />

equally beautiful, but also requires<br />

a short walk uphill.<br />

Leaving early will allow you to<br />

see the sun rise from behind the<br />

mountain range in the distance and<br />

watch the clouds fade away around<br />

the volcano, which is an amazing<br />

sight. Early morning is also the<br />

time of day when the volcano is the<br />

Early morning is also the time of day when the volcano is the most active and as<br />

made evident by the thick smoke billowing in the air. Set up your camera, sit down<br />

and enjoy the view while Mother Nature does all the work.

most active and as made evident<br />

by the thick smoke billowing<br />

in the air. For the photography<br />

fanatics among us; it makes for a<br />

great time-lapse video. Set up your<br />

camera, sit down and enjoy the<br />

view while Mother Nature does all<br />

the work.<br />

As you get closer to the mountain,<br />

you will reach the farthest point<br />

that jeeps provided by tour<br />

agencies can take you. From there<br />

it is still possible to jump on the<br />

back of a motorbike or a horse for<br />

the next part. The motorbike will<br />

have to drop you off at the foot of<br />

the volcano, whereas the horse<br />

can carry you up the most tiring<br />

part of the hike. But even the<br />

horse will have to call it quits at<br />

the bottom of the staircase, which<br />

has been built halfway up the<br />

mountain to make the steepest<br />

part more accessible.<br />

Once at the top you will be able<br />

to look down into the volcano,<br />

which, in the morning, will<br />

constantly unleash massive<br />

amounts of smoke containing<br />

sulfurous particles. On a day with<br />

normal winds you will be able<br />

to witness it from a far enough<br />

distance to not be affected by it.<br />

After you feel you have taken<br />

out enough time to behold this<br />

amazing sight, you will still be<br />

able to make it back to your hotel<br />

in time for breakfast.<br />

The heat is on<br />

A whole different kind of volcanic<br />

experience can be found around<br />

the easternmost point of Java. Ijen<br />

is a volcano complex that contains<br />

a kilometer-wide turquoise<br />

colored acidic lake, which is the<br />

site where sulfur miners make<br />

their living. Tours up and into<br />

the mountain depart as early as<br />

1AM. It takes a good two hours to<br />

reach the top in the dark and up to<br />

another hour to get into the crater<br />

where all the sulfur is collected.<br />

Be careful going down as the<br />

miners will frequently have to<br />

pass you to bring rocks of sulfur<br />

weighing up to 100kg to<br />

the rim of the volcano<br />

and down again to the<br />

village. The same route<br />

that cost us two hours<br />

of our time, carrying a<br />

mere 5kg of weight in<br />

our backpacks.<br />

You might think that the<br />

miners put in all this effort for<br />

a good living, but you would be<br />

wrong. These hard working men<br />

earn about $12 a day. I would<br />

not have been able to help them<br />

bring down the sulfur, but I could<br />

help them a little bit by buying a<br />

small sulfur rock which they had<br />

pressed into the shape of a turtle.<br />

It was a nice reminder of our big<br />

effort climbing the mountain<br />

and made the working day of the<br />

miner a bit more worthwhile.<br />

One of the main reasons for us<br />

to put in all this effort was to<br />

witness the imposing blue fire that<br />

is created by ignited sulfuric gas.<br />

This also means that you will want<br />

to wear a gasmask. Sulfuric gas is<br />

not good for you, especially your<br />

respiratory system. The blue fire<br />

is a fascinating phenomenon and<br />

not something that you will be<br />

able to see just anywhere. By the<br />

time you are back on the rim of<br />

the volcano the sun will probably<br />

have begun to rise, which clears<br />

the air for you to set your eyes on<br />

the beautiful blue lake.<br />

Although the climb itself will cost<br />

you considerable effort, the base<br />

of the mountain can easily be<br />

reached from<br />

Banyuwangi,<br />

which is<br />

accessible by train<br />

from Probolinggo,<br />

although most tour<br />

operators prefer to bring you over<br />

windy mountain roads by bus to a<br />

village west of Ijen.<br />

From Banyuwangi it's a short<br />

ferry ride, followed by a four hour<br />

bus ride to the nearest airport<br />

on Bali, and which you could<br />

certainly use as an excuse to enjoy<br />

some of the beautiful beaches that<br />

Bali has in abundance to revive<br />

yourself from your mountain<br />

climbing adventures on Java.<br />

Further information<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ Flying from Vietnam to Yogyakarta usually<br />

comes with a stopover, often in Kuala Lumpur<br />

or Singapore. Air Asia flies these routes<br />

frequently.<br />

Weather:<br />

ñ The dry season spans from May to<br />

September. October to April is considered<br />

the wet season. Although Indonesia enjoys<br />

warm weather throughout the year, higher in<br />

the mountains it can get chilly at night time, so<br />

warm clothing is recommended for your hikes.<br />

Clothing:<br />

ñ Indonesia has the largest Muslim population<br />

in the world. Shorts and t-shirts are not<br />

frowned upon for both men and women, but<br />

appropriate clothing is appreciated.<br />

Note:<br />

ñ Mount Bromo and Ijen are active volcanoes<br />

with semi-regular eruptions, so it's wise to<br />

be well informed before putting in the time<br />

and effort to get there and be sure that the<br />

volcano is approachable.<br />

That misty morning when I woke up at 7am, the<br />

whole town was still in a foggy sleep. You could<br />

hardly see another soul even if they stood next<br />

to you. The dawn came and sunlight ran across<br />

the mountain at about 8am. Fog still stubbornly<br />

clutched at tree stumps along the pavement,<br />

which painted an amazing and unrealistic scene<br />

before your eyes.<br />

Coffee By The Floating Clouds<br />

I<br />

went trekking to Cat Cat village, hoping<br />

for an intense hilly course which would<br />

take a whole day. Cat Cat was a village of<br />

Flower H'Mong people, who were famous<br />

for their pretty traditional dresses. This<br />

was an attraction of not only Sapa, but also the<br />

entire Lao Cai Province. The road was in fact<br />

quite short (only 2km from Sapa) and it was easy<br />

to walk down to the village since H'Mong people<br />

preferred valleys to settle down, a characteristic<br />

difference from the Red Dao people who often<br />

pick mountain peaks to live. There were also<br />

some motorbike taxis (xe ´m) to the village for<br />

those who were not in the "trekking" mood.<br />

I tried one short-cut on the way, which appeared<br />

to be a piece of cake, as I saw little H'Mong kids<br />

hopping and skipping up and down the road,<br />

laughing along the narrow gorges. Little did I<br />

know they had trekking down to an art. It was<br />

not easy as it was a steep mountain slope. Be<br />

ready to sweat.<br />

Yet the best part was to feel the clouds flying<br />

through your fingers when you were holding<br />

a hot cup of tea on the balcony of a coffee<br />

house somewhere along the street, overlooking<br />

the terraced rice fields of Muong Hoa Vally,<br />

taking in the clichä yet beautiful scene with<br />

little girls babysitting small children, old ladies<br />

embroidering cloth, a dog lazily yawning next to<br />

the heater... Words could not depict the majestic<br />

vista that was spread out before me<br />

The Untold Heritage Of<br />

Aboriginal Villages<br />

If you have more time, I strongly<br />

recommend a longer trip with one or<br />

two nights staying with locals in Sin<br />

Chai village, Ta Van village, Ta Phin<br />

village, or Ho village to experience the<br />

unique herbal bath remedy of the Red<br />

Dao people, to contemplate ethnic<br />

embroidery or live a day as a farmer<br />

riding buffaloes and tilling terraced<br />

rice fields together with mountainous<br />

ethnicities. The sickness-curing<br />

herbal bath is certainly a "must".<br />

It is such a pleasant bath rich with<br />

wood fragrance and burgundy color.<br />

Generally, as a tourist, you will have a<br />

common one made of around 10 - 20<br />

kinds of herbs to relax your muscles,<br />

reduce arthritis pain and alleviate skin<br />

ailments. Believe me, nowhere else in<br />

Vietnam can you have a bath made of<br />

dozens to hundreds of herbs, leaves,<br />

roots and buds. Even the elderly Red<br />

Dao people who can still read their<br />

The spirits from Mother<br />

Nature has protected their<br />

villages since their origins,<br />

giving their peoples<br />

knowledge of the trees<br />

and rivers<br />

ancient language have no idea where<br />

this knowledge of nature came from.<br />

Somehow through their words, I<br />

feel as if they had this sophisticated<br />

knowledge inherited not through<br />

records, but rather through genetics.<br />

In addition to the ancestral mysterious<br />

of the local people, Sapa is also<br />

a filled with hundreds of ancient<br />

stones with unexplained sketches and<br />

symbols created by early ancestry.<br />

Over the endless years local tribes<br />

have built their houses, planted rice<br />

terraces, grown cotton, and made<br />

their clothes all while keeping their<br />

customs. These people have as well of<br />

course established their own villages.<br />

One might notice as well every<br />

aboriginal village here has their own<br />

"forbidden wood", where they worship<br />

supernatural spirits under a tree or on<br />

a big piece of rock. The spirits from<br />

Mother Nature has protected their<br />

villages since their origins, giving<br />

their peoples knowledge of the trees<br />

http://issuu.com/Travellive<br />

Further information:<br />

As you visit aboriginal villages,<br />

you should listen to your<br />

guide carefully. Note down<br />

that each ethnic people<br />

has their own customs that<br />

should be well respected.<br />

ñ Do not whistle in the house<br />

or on the bus, especially<br />

when the bus is moving on<br />

the mountain. Most people<br />

here believe whistles could<br />

bring ghosts, storms and<br />

bad luck.<br />

ñ Do not touch or pat a<br />

child's head. Aboriginal<br />

people believe that could<br />

scare the child's soul away<br />

from their head.<br />

ñ Always look at the gate<br />

and the staircases carefully<br />

when you're in front of a<br />

house. If you see a green or<br />

horned tree branch in front<br />

of the door, or a bamboo<br />

wattle with rhombus pattern<br />

hanging on some buffalos' or<br />

cows' jaws, it's the warning<br />

signs for strangers to not<br />

walk in.<br />

ñ The altar is the most sacred<br />

place in the house. Don't<br />

touch the altar. Never ever<br />

put your personal belongings<br />

there, turn your back against<br />

it or sleep with your feet<br />

facing to the altar.<br />

ñ Notice how to put your<br />

shoes, and where to take a<br />

seat. Every ethnic group has<br />

their own underlying rules<br />

on the seating. For example:<br />

The seat closest to the altar<br />

is for the respected elderly<br />

or honorable guests to Giay<br />

or Dao people, meanwhile<br />

H'Mong reserve those<br />

seats for the spirits of their<br />

deceased family members.<br />

Thai, Tay, and Muong leave<br />

two small cups at the seat<br />

next to the windows for<br />

their ancestors' souls coming<br />

back to greet the guest with<br />

them. Those seats should not<br />

be taken as well.<br />

ñ Beware if you want to help<br />

fuel the stove. Aboriginal<br />

people such as H'Mong and<br />

Dao do not put the younger<br />

end of a tree branch in first<br />

as it is believed to cause<br />

breech birth. Respect the<br />

kitchen.

©Nguyen Hoang Phi<br />

Stay with the<br />

locals for days<br />

so you can see<br />

for yourself the<br />

stunning luring<br />

beauty of cultures<br />

and landscapes.<br />

and rivers, and allowing them to find the right herbs in<br />

the forest necessary to survive when lost in the mountains.<br />

Every member of the village must take care of the "forbidden<br />

wood" together. Any disrespectful behaviors such as littering,<br />

picking flowers, bending trees or kissing in front of the wood<br />

are strictly prohibited.<br />

...In The Picturesque Sapa<br />

What a waste to rush to Sapa for an escape weekend then<br />

rush back. Stay with the locals for days so you can see<br />

for yourself the stunning luring beauty of cultures and<br />

landscapes here. Let's dance the aboriginal dance of Flower<br />

H'Mong, explore Sapa's largest and most mysterious cave<br />

of Ta Phin village, wear brocade clothing and eat BBQ<br />

somewhere in the middle of the pine forests.<br />

Thanks to the fresh air, nice weather, and mountain set<br />

on high, Sapa's grilled food has become a signature that is<br />

immersed in the essence of nature, from sweet potatoes to<br />

village chicken (ga ban), or "carried-under-arm" pigs (lon<br />

cap nach: a freely-fed local pig which was caught, and carried<br />

under arms to the market). What you are you waiting for but<br />

to marvel at the exotic flavors on your taste buds?<br />

The town changes as time goes, blossoming with wild<br />

flowers in spring, smothering with iridescent rice fields in<br />

summer, ripping with primrose golden plants in autumn,<br />

and then wuthering with white winds and sometimes, snow,<br />

in winter. Each change is marked with different festivals held<br />

by different ethnic groups. With 6 different ethnic people<br />

inhibiting the town in different villages, including the Kinh,<br />

H'Mong (Flower H'Mong and Black H'Mong), Dao, Tay,<br />

Giay, and the Xa Pho, Sapa is a cultural and nature heritage<br />

of Vietnam.<br />

Kayaking to the stunning fjords<br />

The charm of Krabi first comes from magnificent limestone<br />

islands standing out in the blue sea. There are various tours<br />

for visitors as each group of islands and islet has its own<br />

distinct beauty. Some islands are renowned for coral reefs<br />

while others offer guests sights of colorful fish swimming<br />

happily about. Some islands are home to wild cats. There<br />

are even groups of islets creating an "oasis" in the ocean.<br />

What impressed me most during my stay there was kayaking in<br />

Ao Thalane by the most beautiful mangrove forest in Thailand.<br />

To start the journey, we kayaked through a calm area. I couldn't<br />

choose the right words to express how imposing the limestone<br />

cliffs were. When approaching them, I felt as if they were about to<br />

collapse on us. At that moment, should you venture there yourself,<br />

perhaps you will feel as I did, knowing how tiny we all are before<br />

the impressive mountains and endless ocean.<br />

Following our humorous and enthusiastic guide in our silent kayaks<br />

we crossed past cliffs, beaches,<br />

and islets before becoming<br />

immersed in a new world of lush<br />

mangroves. We swept through<br />

the "fjords", sometimes bending<br />

down to sail through a maze of<br />

roots or go through low caves. The<br />

most frightening yet intriguing<br />

experience was getting lost in the<br />

"battle" of two aggressive groups<br />

of monkeys. The monkeys are<br />

usually friendly and just a bit<br />

mischievous. However, when<br />

they must fight for food, they have<br />

a temper to be reckoned with.<br />

Sometimes, when we met<br />

other groups kayaking from the<br />

opposite direction, our guide

kept asking them "Hey guys, did<br />

you see crocodiles and snakes<br />

that way?" This kind of question<br />

made us both excited and scared.<br />

It took us 4 hours to paddle about<br />

12km, but no one felt tired, just<br />

more eager to continue on. To<br />

complete the kayak course, we<br />

stopped at a pretty beach and<br />

enjoy swimming there a while.<br />

The night in Krabi was<br />

effervescent with restaurants<br />

and bars along the beach. After<br />

enjoying dinner and live music<br />

at a local restaurant, we strolled<br />

down the town to buy some<br />

souvenirs. On the way, we<br />

stopped at a rock bar. I am not<br />

terribly interested in rock music, yet when entering the bar, I was<br />

enticed by the exciting music and great performances of drumplayers<br />

and the female singer. One of my friends, a true rocker at<br />

heart, thoroughly approved of the bar.<br />

Your trip to Krabi wouldn't be complete without a Thai massage.<br />

Massage salons can be found at every corner. The staff are<br />

professional and caring. What would be better than ending your<br />

day of kayaking with relaxing Thai massage therapies?<br />

Koh Hong has been listed<br />

as by BBC as one of the<br />

most beautiful beach in<br />

Asia. However, its distinct<br />

attraction must come from<br />

colorful fishes swimming in<br />

turquoise water.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 119

Face to face with giant Iguana in Koh Hong<br />

On the second day in Krabi, we joined in a tour to Koh Hong Island.<br />

I decided not to visit nearby Koh Phi Phi which is too popular with<br />

visitors. Koh Hong is a small island featuring plenty of pretty fishes.<br />

We rented an express boat that was not much more expensive than<br />

sharing a boat with other visitors. The boat can carry about 30-40<br />

people for 800 bath (about 22USD)/ pax while for our charter boat,<br />

we, a group of 12, only paid 1000bath per person.<br />

In the morning, the passenger car picked us up at the hotel. It took<br />

only 5 minute to reach the wharf. I was really impressed by their<br />

professional manner in taking care of clients. The driver came on<br />

time, transferred us to the wharf, introduced us to a sailor and then<br />

the sailor guided us to the boat. There was nothing required of us<br />

but to enjoy the trip. More than that, we were allowed to freely walk<br />

on the boat. This was one trip which was hands down really worth<br />

the money.<br />

Our first destination was Ko Lao Lading, a small island with lovely<br />

wild cats. There is a stunning pathway leading inland past the<br />

beach. After taking a short rest there, we continued to Koh Phak<br />

Bia, a cluster of islets connected by a road under the sea. When<br />

the tide is low, the road appears as a long stretch of white sands,<br />

similar to Diep Son in Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam.<br />

Numerous exotic fishes can be found there. Schools of zebra fish<br />

happily swim around. You can dive along the stone around the<br />

island to "make friend" with them should you feel so inclined. Be<br />

aware of waves if you don't want to hit the cliffs. After about one<br />

hour, we got back to the boat, and travelled to Hong Lagoon - the<br />

most renowned lagoon among the many lagoons in Krabi.<br />

The Hong Lagoon is enchanting with its signature emerald water.<br />

You can also visit a small mangrove forest on the exclusive road.<br />

As the boat was sweeping through the natural gate formed by two<br />

high cliffs, everyone got excited about the beauty of this lagoon.<br />

We finally reached Koh Hong at noon. We set a large table near the<br />

water, under the shade of trees and got ready for a well-prepared<br />

lunch. As we rent a private boat without a guide, lunch wasn't<br />

included. Instead, we bought food at Ao Nang, the main tourist<br />

hub of Krabi, the day before heading to Koh Hong.<br />

While we were relaxing on the beach, one of my companions<br />

frantically ran back and informed that he just saw a lizard which<br />

was as big as a human walking on the beach. We all followed<br />

him to meet the giant iguana. It was the biggest lizard that I have<br />

ever seen. The 2 meter long iguana was strolling down the beach,<br />

searching for food. There was no sign showing that it was about to<br />

notice us, let alone give much of a care about our presence.<br />

Said goodbye to our giant friend,<br />

we started enjoying our diving trip.<br />

Koh Hong has been listed by the<br />

BBC as one of the most beautiful<br />

beach in Asia. However, powdery<br />

sand beach with turquoise water<br />

is not the most attractive thing<br />

to visitors. Its distinct attraction<br />

comes from the colorful fishes that<br />

seem accustomed to the presence<br />

of people. We considered them<br />

friends and had great fun with the<br />

little companions of the sea.<br />

The fish came in all shapes, sizes,<br />

colors, and variations. You could<br />

even see large fishes which are as<br />

big as your two hands. Visitors<br />

are not allowed to feed the fish,<br />

yet someone accidentally (or<br />

deliberately) dropped food into<br />

the water, making hundreds of<br />

fish gather together. What an<br />

impressive scene!<br />

After diving for about two hours,<br />

we headed back to the boat,<br />

travelling to Ao Nang. The sea<br />

was quite rough which made for a<br />

rather exciting as the boat surfed<br />

through high waves.<br />

My day ended with a gorgeous<br />

sunset on beach where casuarina<br />

trees were singing the song of<br />

the wind. Having contemplated<br />

sunsets in many different places,<br />

I must say that sunset in Ao Nang<br />

was most amazing. The tranquil<br />

atmosphere of the coastal town<br />

will certainly impress you with<br />

unforgettable impressions.<br />

destination<br />

Morocco caught me off guard with the<br />

elegant harbor city of Tangier, the renowned<br />

poetic Casablanca, Fez deep inside the<br />

continent, and vast Marrakesh with its strong<br />

vitality. However, Ait Benhaddou impressed<br />

me the most in its own way.<br />

straight out of films<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 125

Ait Benhaddou, located<br />

in the Southeastern<br />

Morocco, has been<br />

recognized by UNESCO<br />

as a World Heritage<br />

Site since 1987, the<br />

same year when The Living<br />

Daylights was filmed there. The<br />

village has also been the setting of<br />

famous films such as Lawrence of<br />

Arabia, Star Wars, and Gladiator.<br />

About 30km from Ouarzazate,<br />

Ait Benhaddou, nestled in the<br />

foot mountains of the High Atlas,<br />

is one of the most attractive<br />

places in Morocco. The village<br />

enchants international visitors<br />

with buildings following a special<br />

style called Ksar. Ksar refers to a<br />

group of houses made by soil and<br />

surrounded by high walls, which<br />

is considered the traditional living<br />

space of locals in the Sahara<br />

desert. There are also Kasbah<br />

houses consisting of 3 to 4 floors<br />

made from soil. Inside high mud<br />

walls are 6 ksars, each including<br />

8 families living together.<br />

The houses are not terribly<br />

sophisticated, but the upper floors<br />

are adorned with ornate patterns.<br />

Moreover, a tower is built in each<br />

corner of the wall by brick and<br />

mud in a traditional way.<br />

The more sophisticated the towers<br />

are, the richer their owner is.<br />

Many towers are even so ornate<br />

they look like crowns. However,<br />

as all of them were made from<br />

soil, after years they get old and<br />

fall apart due to the weather.<br />

Reach higher ground and you<br />

will have a chance to take in the<br />

beauty of the village. From above,<br />

the Ksars are more stunning<br />

under vivid desert sunshine.<br />

For many visitors, the best time<br />

to visit Ait Benhaddou is late<br />

afternoon and during sunset. If<br />

you can do only one thing on your<br />

visit here, then make it standing<br />

on the peak of Ait Benhaddou and<br />

overlook the area in the amazing<br />

moment of sunset.<br />

If you can do only one thing on your visit here, then make<br />

Mr. Mohamed is a fire painter<br />

and has lived there for 30 years.<br />

With simple tools, and skillful<br />

hands, he paints gorgeous<br />

pictures of Morocco's culture<br />

and landscape as well. The most<br />

difficult thing is creating the<br />

"soul" for the painting, he shared.<br />

This requires the patience, skills,<br />

and the passion of a true artist.<br />

126<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

With only two main colors - the white of<br />

paper and the yellow brown of burned<br />

ink, Mohamed creates contrasting lines,<br />

making the picture deep and impressive.<br />

The simplicity of fire painting seems most<br />

suitable to represent the old yet poetic<br />

scenes, allowing visitors to experience and<br />

learn more about the famous destinations<br />

in old Morocco. Mohamed also shared<br />

that we must draw very carefully because<br />

an ill-placed line cannot be erased.<br />

Therefore, an artist must have sincere<br />

passion for fire painting first, then practice<br />

hard for a long time indeed.<br />

I completed my journey to Ait Benhaddou<br />

by enjoying hot tea in a silver cup at a<br />

local tea house. Morrocans usually treat<br />

their guests by three types of tea, each<br />

featuring its own flavor and meaning. The<br />

sunset seemed to want me stay longer.<br />

Tea and Ksars can be found anywhere<br />

in Morocco, but Ait Benhaddou makes<br />

every visitors want to return thanks to its<br />

unparalleled antique beauty.<br />

FURTHER INFORMATION:<br />

Visa:<br />

ñ You can apply for Morocco<br />

visa at the Morocco Embassy<br />

at No.9, Chu Van An, Ba<br />

Dinh, Hanoi. The Embassy will<br />

issue single-entry visa for you<br />

with the time you plan to visit<br />

Morocco.<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ You can fly from Vietnam<br />

to Morocco with Turkish<br />

Airlines, Qatar Airways, or<br />

Emirates Airways. Price is<br />

around USD800-1,300/roundtrip<br />

ticket. The flights often<br />

transit in Istanbul, Doha or<br />

Abu Dhabi before landing to<br />

Casablanca, the largest city in<br />

this country. From there, you<br />

can take bus or train to Ait<br />

Benhaddou. We drove from<br />

Casablanca to Ait Benhaddou<br />

in 7 hours. It would take 9<br />

hours by bus.<br />

Religion:<br />

ñ Morocco is a Muslim<br />

country; please notice some<br />

issues when travelling there.<br />

Traditionally, you shouldn't<br />

use your left hand to do<br />

anything in public areas as<br />

it's considered rude. The<br />

Moroccans do not like taking<br />

photos, especially women and<br />

the old. Therefore, you should<br />

ask their permission first.<br />

Most mosques in Morocco<br />

do not allow non-Mulism<br />

international visitors to come<br />

in, except for Hassan II in<br />

Casablanca.<br />

Sightseeing:<br />

Must-visit destinations include:<br />

ñ Arab flee market<br />

ñ Kasbah Taourit temple<br />

ñ Hollywood studio<br />

ñ Dr©a valley which is the<br />

region has gained the "Palme<br />

d'Or" in agriculture with<br />

products made from dates,<br />

especially the renowned<br />

Boufaggous dish.<br />

ñ Boualouz oasis: is a large<br />

delta which is also known as<br />

the Saghro's arrow as the<br />

oasis was created by huge<br />

volcanoes and nestled among<br />

majestic mountains.<br />

destination<br />

The Wizarding World of Harry<br />

Potter in Osaka is the second theme<br />

park, after the first in Florida, built<br />

with inspiration from the world<br />

famous writer J.K. Rowling's novel<br />

series - Harry Potter. Located in<br />

the complex of Universal Studios<br />

Osaka, it takes about 20 minutes by<br />

foot from Osaka Station to arrive at<br />

the magical land. Here, some trains<br />

are decorated with the posters of<br />

Harry and other themes of Universal<br />

Studios.<br />

From the Universal City Station,<br />

follow the sign boards and walk<br />

about 5 minutes and you will reach<br />

the studio's gate where the ticket<br />

booth is located. Tickets apply for the<br />

entire Universal Studios, not only<br />

for the Wizarding World of Harry<br />

Potter. A 1-Day Pass for an adult<br />

costs JPY7,600, including tax, while<br />

the 2-day ticket's price is JPY12,800.<br />

Surrounding the studio are some<br />

hotels for guests who want to<br />

queue up for admissions from early<br />

morning to avoid long wait times.<br />

chest will open magically. Scattered<br />

in the Wizarding World of Harry<br />

Potter are many more attractions<br />

for you to show your skills, but<br />

remember to purchase the right<br />

Magical Wand!<br />

134<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

niversal Studios also<br />

offers the Express<br />

Pass, allowing<br />

guests to shorten<br />

the wait time at<br />

some games, or<br />

set up fixed times<br />

to avoid long queues. You should<br />

notice that the Express Pass is sold<br />

separately and cannot be used as<br />

the Studio Pass. Some people are<br />

hesitant to pay the extra fee for the<br />

Express Pass, but in my opinion,<br />

the Express Pass really gets its<br />

money's worth with it, especially if<br />

you only visit the Universal Studios<br />

Osaka once or twice. Without this<br />

"Wait free pass", your queue time<br />

for some hotspot attractions such<br />

as Harry Potter and the Forbidden<br />

Journey may exceed 90 minutes!<br />

Unlike other parts at Universal<br />

Studios, the Wizarding World<br />

of Harry Potter is situated in a<br />

separate area at the entrance of<br />

a pine forests. The theme music<br />

makes it as mysterious as the<br />

Forbidden forest which surround<br />

Hogwarts castle in the movie.<br />

Along the pathway, you will have<br />

a chance to catch sight of Ron's<br />

Flying Car stuck in a bush in the<br />

road, flashing its lights and revving<br />

its engine as if its seeking its<br />

former owner.<br />

Skirting the forest for about 2<br />

minutes, you will arrive at the<br />

Hogsmeade village gate Behind this<br />

solid stone gate is the Hogwarts<br />

Express with the conductor dressed<br />

in a British-styled uniform. You<br />

can line up to take photos with the<br />

conductor, or partake in a "cooler"<br />

activity: showing your magic skills!<br />

Not that at Universal Studios's<br />

shops, including in the Wizarding<br />

World of Harry Potter, there are 2<br />

kinds of magical wands available<br />

for purchase: Original Wands and<br />

the so-called "genuine" Magical<br />

Wand. The Magical Wand is just<br />

slightly more expensive, but it has<br />

a special inductor so that when you<br />

visit some specific attractions in the<br />

Wizarding World of Harry Potter<br />

and use your wand following some<br />

moves, "magic" really happens!<br />

Back to the Hogwarts Express, next<br />

to the locomotive are some luggage<br />

chests, where you can practice<br />

casting your first spell on with the<br />

special wand. The administrator<br />

will guide you through how to use<br />

your wand to start the inductor<br />

on the chest. It will take 2 or 3<br />

attempts; however, when you<br />

perform the moves correctly, the<br />

Leaving the Hogwarts Express<br />

behind, your next stop must be the<br />

stall selling butter beer! The park<br />

features 2 - 3 food stalls where you<br />

can enjoy the favorite foods and<br />

beverages of the young wizards.<br />

Butterbeer is amber with thick<br />

cream foam. It is sweet, fragrant,<br />

and non-alcohol. You can also buy<br />

the cups with the word "butterbeer"<br />

printed on them for your family<br />

as friends as a gift. Apart from<br />

butterbeer, there are many dishes<br />

that every fan of Harry Potter<br />

knows such as chocolates and<br />

candies with various flavors.<br />

The Hogsmeade village's shops,<br />

including Honeydukes Sweetshop,<br />

Zonko's Joke Shop, and especially<br />

Olivander's Wand Shop easily<br />

entice customers. At Olivander's,<br />

wands are sophisticatedly<br />

There are 2 kinds of magical wands available for purchase:<br />

Original Wands and Magical Wand. In the Wizarding World<br />

of Harry Potter, visit some specific attractions and use your<br />

wand following some moves, "magic" really happens!<br />

designed, with some following the<br />

characteristics of Harry's, Ron's,<br />

Hermione's, Dumbledore's, and<br />

Voldermort's wands as well. Here,<br />

you can join a short tour, exploring<br />

the workplace of Mr. Olivander<br />

behind a secret door. A lucky<br />

visitor will be allowed to try a magic<br />

wand like Harry Potter in the first<br />

episode. Pirate maps, monsters,<br />

flying brooms, and other bewitched<br />

items are displayed in different<br />

shops. You absolutely shouldn't<br />

miss any shop!<br />

The last place in the Harry Potter<br />

themed park is nowhere else but<br />

Hogwarts Castle. Situated on the

highest position of the park,<br />

the antique castle reflects itself<br />

in the surrounding dark lake.<br />

To join the 4D game "Harry<br />

Potter and the Forbidden<br />

Journey", you must line up for<br />

1 - 2 hours, unless you buy the<br />

Express Pass at the entrance.<br />

An alternative is to choose<br />

the Castle Walk to explore the<br />

castle's interior by yourself<br />

- no need to wait, but exciting<br />

too!<br />

Why don't you<br />

both visit the<br />

wizard world and<br />

experience the<br />

culinary culture in<br />

this city?<br />

The space inside castle is<br />

quite gloomy, but when<br />

you get acquainted with<br />

the dark, you will find out<br />

many intriguing things. Visit<br />

the office of Dumbledore,<br />

Gryffindor’s common room,<br />

the Defense Against the Dark<br />

Arts classroom, and meet<br />

popular characters such as the<br />

Fat Lady and other speaking<br />

portraits, and of course<br />

the triad - Harry, Ron, and<br />

Hermione.<br />

When completing your<br />

journey in the Wizarding<br />

World of Harry Potter, you<br />

can spend time partaking<br />

in other games at Universal<br />

Studios or visiting the<br />

Takoyaki Museum nearby<br />

which is home to the five<br />

most famous takoyaki cakes in<br />

Osaka. Osaka is known as the<br />

food paradise in Japan with an<br />

array of delicious dishes such<br />

as okonomiyaki, takoyaki,<br />

and omurice. Why don't you<br />

both visit the wizard world<br />

and experience the culinary<br />

culture in this city?<br />

Time:<br />

ñ The best time to visit Universal<br />

Studios is in spring, from late March<br />

to early April or during autumn<br />

(November) when you can also<br />

contemplate the beauty of cherry<br />

blossom or red leaves. These are also<br />

the high seasons in Osaka.<br />

Notice:<br />

ñ You shouldn't visit the Wizarding<br />

World of Harry Potter on a weekend<br />

as you will have to wait for a while<br />

when it is full of visitors.<br />

Other activities:<br />

ñ It takes only 40 minutes by train<br />

from Osaka to the former capital<br />

Kyoto. Therefore, you can also visit<br />

other destinations such as Arashiyama<br />

Further information:<br />

bamboo forest or Fushimi Inari Shrine<br />

with 5000 torii gates within a day.<br />

Transportation:<br />

ñ Buy the JR Pass before arriving in<br />

Japan to save money. Use Google<br />

Maps to know which stations are<br />

convenient for you as there are<br />

many railways operated by different<br />

companies such as JR, Hankyu, and<br />

Hanshin. They can be confusing, so<br />

spend time on research to find your<br />

way in Osaka.<br />

Contact:<br />

ñ If you travel in a small group, you<br />

should by 3G card by Docomo<br />

company to keep in contact contact<br />

by phone. It is much cheaper than<br />

renting mobile wifi devices.<br />
