Travellive 7 - 2018
Dear Valued Readers, July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory. In Travellive’s July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don’t ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ... Another highlight of this month is Travellive’s realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests. Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life “à la parisienne”, or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive. And Travellive’s July issue has enough life rhythm for you! EDITORIAL BOARD
Dear Valued Readers,
July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory.

BAC SON - A GREEN CARPET THROUGHOUT LANG SON<br />
In August, the Bac Son rice fields gradually turn, dying the entire area a deep golden color. This<br />
is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Bac Son. In the morning, if you stand on Na Lay<br />
peak, you can admire the panoramic valley shrouded in a delicate mist, sheltered by mountains<br />
with ripe rice fields and winding rivers.<br />
The special feature of the Bac Son rice fields is that the fields are sown alternately, so that during<br />
ripe rice season the fields appear as a colorful patchwork. There are squares of iridescent water,<br />
brown earth, rich green and vibrant yellow. Each square lends to a greater work of art like that<br />
of a quilt.<br />
