EDITOR’S TALK O

ften referred to as the magical East, Southeast Asia is definitely spellbinding in many ways. Out of more than 1,000 UNESCO-listed historical and natural sites all over the world, 38 are located in the region. Many more are actually under review and even more are to be submitted in the near future as new jewels are discovered or uncovered every year. And while Southeast Asia cultures, histories and landscapes are increasingly recognized for their unique value for mankind, the 10 countries of the ASEAN community recently decided to organise themselves in order to improve their way to preserve -and maybe rehabilitate if needed- their natural and historical heritage, while making it properly accessible to the world. Initiated by a Thai public organization named DASTA (Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration), the 1st ASEAN World Heritage Summit was held on 2-4 August 2018 in UNESCO World Heritage site, Sukhothai, Thailand with more than 100 stakeholders and ASEAN professionals in the field of heritage management, culture, art and tourism who shared their experience and best practices to determine how to strengthen the protection of ASEAN sites and how to mitigate the impacts from tourism growth in the areas. By traveling these wonderful but often fragile sites, one may help local communities to strengthen themselves, but on the condition we do it wisely and respectfully. Pierre QUEFFELEC

UNBOUNDED ADVENTURES ACROSS SOUTH EAST ASIA A spectacular journey through some of the most wonderful places in the region

无限探险竟在东南亚 20 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e


Deciding where to go and what to see when exploring this vast region of the world can be an overwhelming task. Often referred to as the magical East, the region is certainly geographically spellbinding. Most readers will already be familiar with some of South East Asia’s so-called hotspots, such as Cambodia’s spectacular Angkor Wat or the scattered islands of Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. Rather than go over that too-familiar territory we have compiled a list of destinations throughout Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Myanmar that not all readers may have heard about, never mind visited. Our inventory of adventures will take you to the tops of mountains, into the thick of tropical rainforests, over paradisiacal islands and deep into some of the region’s most breathtaking caves.

这里是旅行目的地 中最美妙和最壮观的景点 在准备探索这片广阔的区域时,决定去哪里和看 什么可能是一项非常困难的选择。

通常这里被称为神

奇的东方,这些地方肯定在地理位置上有引人入胜的地 方。 大多数读者已经熟悉了那些东南亚所谓的热点,例 如柬埔寨壮观的吴哥窟、越南下龙湾的岛屿。 然而我们 已经在越南,老挝,柬埔寨,印度尼西亚,菲律宾,泰 国和缅甸等国家为您列出了一份清单,其中的景点可能 不是读者都听说过的,但是没关系。 我们的探险活动将 带您到高山顶,进入厚厚的热带雨林,天堂般的岛屿, 以及一些最令人叹为观止的洞穴。

Mount Kelimutu Lake, Indonesia

MOUNT BROMO This active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, is one of country’s most visited attractions for those with an eye for adventure. Some people have described the area as similar to the Luna landscape. You can hike up or be carried by pony. From there peer into the heart of the crater, an experience one won’t easily forget.

STANDING AT THE TOP VOLCANOS MOUNT KELIMUTU Located in Flores, Indonesia, this volcano is known mostly for what might seem like nature playing tricks on the eyes. Close to the summit of the volcano there are three crater lakes, each of which changes color due to the volcanic activity below. Indonesia’s tourist board tells us the lakes are now changing hues of green, blue and red, although just over the last few years they have turned black, white, turquoise and brown.

克里穆图山 这座火山位于印度尼西亚的弗洛雷斯,从远处看 起来就像大自然在眼睛。 靠近火山顶有三个湖,由于火 山活动,每个湖都会变色。 印度尼西亚的旅游局告诉我 们,湖泊现在正在变成绿色,还会变成蓝色和红色的色 调,并且在过去的几年里它们也变成了黑色,白色,绿 松石色和棕色。

这座活火山位于印度尼西亚东爪哇,那 里是探险人士最受欢迎的景点之一。这里的 美景与月神景观相似。 你可以徒步旅行或骑 马前往,进入火山口的中心,会带给你一个 难忘的体验。


MOUNT IJEN This is another volcano located in East Java. At the heart of the crater is a turquoise-blue lake, said to be largest acidic lake on the planet. But most visitors come for the “Ijen Blue Fire”, which are electricblue flames emitted from the volcano because of the combustion of sulfuric gases. These are best seen at night.

Mount ijen, Indonesia

伊金山 这是位于东爪哇的另一座火山。 火山口是一个绿松石般的蓝色湖泊,据说是这个星球上最大的酸性湖 泊。 但是大多数游客都来参加“Ijen Blue Fire”,这是由于火山内的硫化气体的燃烧而喷出蓝色火焰。建议晚 上前来观看。

The park is also home to an array of wild animals, including elephants, tigers, bears, deer, gibbons and the strange-looking Malayan tapir. We should add, though, that the chances of finding one of the few remaining tigers are very slim.

考索 Khao Sok国家公园据说约有6000万年历 史,拥有茂密的丛林,石灰岩山脉,索克河和 Cheow Lan湖。 该公园还饲养着各种野生动 物,包括大象,老虎,熊,鹿,长臂猿和奇怪 的马来tap。 不过,要在这里找到少数剩下的 老虎的的机会已经非常渺茫了。

The lake is home to many ethnicities living in strings of villages that surround the lake, or in the lake on top of stilts.

isitors arriving by air touch down at the Phuket International Airport, and then drive due north—most often heading towards Khao Lak, which offers 30 km of Andaman Sea coastline and dozens of amazing 4 and 5 star hotels scattered along a series of dazzling white sandy beaches. The west coast of Phang-Nga is also known as the gateway to the Similan Islands, one of Thailand's main scuba diving destinations, famed for its reefs, variety of pristine corals and diversity of marine life.

However, there’s more to Phang-Nga province than just beautiful beaches and worldclass diving. The dynamic eastern coastline offers panoramic views of Phang-Nga Bay, where massive limestone islets rise dramatically out of the turquoise waters. The most famous of the islets, a 20m-tall rock called Ko Tapu, is found in Khao Phing Kan. More commonly known as James Bond Island, it was featured in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun, and still attracts endless hordes of selfie-taking tourists on a daily basis.

然而,攀牙不仅仅是美丽的海滩和世界级的潜水 目的地,这里还有 湾(Phang-Nga

充满活力的东部海岸线,享有攀牙 Bay)的全景,大量的石灰岩小岛从

碧绿的海水中崛起。

最著名的是一个20米高的岩石叫

Ko Tapu,在Khao Phing Kan附近。我们熟悉的James Bond岛,它出现在1974年的电影“金枪人”中,并且每 天仍吸引着无数的游客慕名前往。 还有一个更独特和有趣的方式来享受攀牙湾 (Phang-Nga Bay)岩层的自然美景,可以前往Takua Thung区的Samet Nangshe观景台。 门票为90泰铢,

A much more unique and interesting way to soak in the natural beauty of the PhangNga Bay rock formations is to drive up to the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint in Takua Thung District. The cost of admission is 90 baht, which includes round trip transport from the car park up the very steep rugged mountain road towards the summit, which sits 1,316m above sea level. Once you arrive you’ll be greeted by stunning vistas of the bay, the limestone karst formations, and the surrounding countryside. There’s even a seafood restaurant here if you want to stay for a meal.

其中包括从停车场前往顶峰的往返交通费用,该高峰海 拔月1,316米。 抵达后,您将被海湾,石灰岩地貌和周 围乡村景致所包围。 如果您想在这里用餐,附近还有一 家海鲜餐厅。 对于那些想要与攀牙波浪起伏的河流进行更密切 接触的人来说,当地有几家旅行社为您提供在丛林和瀑 布中的竹筏漂流探险活动。 不幸的是,季节性的降雨会 影响水位和安全,因此恶劣的天气条件会限制甚至暂时 关闭这些旅行项目。 另外一个更安全旅游项目就是沿着 Sang-neh河航行,位于当地的Takua Pa区,当地人称 之为小亚马逊。 乘坐每艘船的费用为800泰铢,乘客可 以一次乘坐两个充气皮划艇,再加上向导,然后沿着蜿 蜒的水道悠闲地划船,欣赏有着百年历史的榕树根。同 时,近距离的观察蛇,蜥蜴,色彩斑斓的鸟类和猴子等

For those wanting some closer contact with Phang-Nga’s many undulating rivers, several local operators offer exotic bamboo rafting expeditions through lush forests and past jungle waterfalls. Unfortunately, seasonal rains affect the water levels and safety conditions, so adverse weather conditions can limit or even temporarily close these tours. A safer, year-round bet is a voyage along the Sang-neh River, in the Takua Pa district, which is known locally as The Little Amazon. For a fee of 800 baht per boat, passengers board inflatable kayaks— two at a time, plus driver—and embark on a leisurely paddle down a meandering shaded waterway, passing the snarled roots of 100-year old Banyan trees. Meanwhile, wildlife watchers can keep their eyes peeled for snakes, lizards, colourful birds, and the occasional monkey.

48 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

野生动物。 除了自然奇观之外,攀牙也为旅行者提供各种各 样的活动,例如最近在法国环法自行车赛上首次亮相 的泰国L'Etape,吸引了大约1,500名业余和职业自行车 手。 在2018年10月21日星期日,数百名游客挥舞旗帜 为参加者加油 – 无论男女老少,他们为了赢得官方巡回 赛的资格,要么完成70公里的半赛道,要么完成140公 里的全赛道。 比赛最终在历史名城Ta Kua Pa举行,在 那里,激情的观众随时为参赛队员欢呼。


Along with its natural wonders, Phang-Nga province is also courting active travellers with events such as the recent inaugural L’Etape Thailand by Le Tour de France, which attracted approximately 1,500 amateur and professional cyclists. On Sunday October 21st, 2018, hundreds of flag waving fans were on hand to cheer on the participants—a mix of young and old, Thai and foreign, male and female—who were competing for a chance to win one of the official Tour de France prize jerseys by completing either the 70km, or the full 140km course. The race culminated in the historic city of Ta Kua Pa, where smiling spectators were on hand to cheer the competitors as they cycled over the finish line. At the event’s official press conference, Mr. Tanes Petsuwan, the TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, confirmed that Thailand has signed up to host the L’Etape Thailand by Le Tour de France race for a period of three years. The 2019 race is already confirmed to take place once again in Phang-Nga province, while the 2020 race location is still unconfirmed.

在此次活动的官方新闻发布会上,TAT营销传播副 总监Tanes Petsuwan先生证实,泰国L'Etape已经签署 了为期三年的法国Le Tour de比赛的主办权。 2019年 的比赛已经确定将在攀牙再次举行,而2020年的比赛地 点还没有确定。 “攀牙应该成为这次活动的主角”,他补充说,“这

“Phang-Nga well deserves to be the host of this event”, he added, “not only in terms of accessibility and infrastructure—hotel accommodations and so forth—but most importantly the scenic aspect of the route. The landscape of Phang-Nga is just amazing!”

里不仅有良好的基础设施 –和完善的酒店住宿服务 - 而 且最重要的是拥有风景秀丽的比赛路线。这就是令人惊 叹 的攀牙!“
