编者寄语

o matter where or how you travel, there’s always a certain amount of planning and organizing involved ahead of time; usually quite a bit if you want things to go smoothly.

But for whole families on vacation, the planning ahead and the organization involved is multiplied substantially. Thankfully, countries like Thailand make it easy to plan family-friendly vacations that are both fun and affordable.

Thailand has an incredible diversity when it comes to geography, so whether you and your family want a sun-soaked beach vacation or a holidays in the hills, there’s something for everyone. However, the thing that really sets Thailand apart is that it’s generally extremely safe.

Parents still have to be careful, obviously, and depending on the age of the children in tow there are definite health concerns to keep in mind at all times. It’s probably best to drink only bottled water, at least for the first few days, but treating your kids to fresh fruit shakes made with ice is almost never a danger as the ice in the majority of restaurants and food stalls is made with clean water. And when it comes to eating at street stalls in general—which is where most travellers agree you’ll find the best food—just go with your instinct when it comes to hygiene. Most street eats are perfectly fine, but if your children aren’t keen on Asian food there’s almost always a McDonalds, or a pizza outlet close at hand in the heavily touristed areas.

If your kids like the beach, there’s no shortage of beautiful ones to choose from in Thailand, especially in destinations such as Hua Hin, Phuket, and Koh Samui. However, almost any hotel or resort with a swimming pool is a kid’s dream come true, and many hotels now also offer specialized kids’ clubs, as well as babysitting services and other play facilities. Another sure bet for entertaining children is visiting zoos and aquariums, and Thailand has plenty of those. Finally, you can’t go wrong with amusement parks and water parks, and Thailand has some of the best in Southeast Asia.

Visiting temples, palaces, ancient cities, and other historical landmarks is also a great idea, as it exposes children to the traditional culture of Thailand. Just remember as you go along to keep everyone hydrated, well fed, and rested. Some parents even enroll with their children in Thai cooking classes, which is a very unique and wonderful family bonding experience.

Travel within Thailand is also not a problem for families, and short haul domestic air travel is overall quite affordable. But don’t shy away from taking the trains. The overnight sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, for instance, is a both comfortable and affordable, and most children will probably love the adventure of sleeping in the jiggling bunk beds.

There’s literally no shortage of things to do in Thailand with kids, and it’s probably the best set up country in Southeast Asia for family vacations. And, of course, wee ones are always made to feel welcome by the warm smile of the Thai people.

CALI-MEX OPENS THEIR SECOND BANGKOK BRANCH The successful Hong Kong-based, American-style, Mexican restaurant Cali-Mex Bar & Grill opened its first Bangkok branch on the main floor of the Holiday Inn on Sukhumvit Soi 22. Now there’s a second location, right in the heart of busy Sukhumvit Soi 11. The new outlet is more of a flagship venue, with two floors and an outdoor patio area overlooking the street. Enjoy a Californian-style take on Mexican classics, like nachos, burritos, and quesadillas, using quality farm produce flown in fresh from around the world— from Australian Angus beef, to Mexican avocado, to Vietnamese seafood. Open daily from 10:30am till 2am.

Meanwhile, if you want a more secluded spot for potent late night cocktails, Los Atico is a cool new Mexican-style speakeasy bar that sits directly above the new Cali-Mex on Soi 11. Accessible via a clandestine spiral staircase out back, they offer 50 premium mezcals and tequilas, as well as five unique margaritas on the drink list. Snacks are also available, from authentic Mexican tacos to spicy shrimp ceviche. Open Tuesday to Sunday, from 5pm till 2am. www.cali-mex.co.th

DISCOVER KOREAN COCKTAILS AND MORE AT SULBKK The recently opened SulBkk is a slightly hidden, speakeasy-style club venue on Thong Lor Soi 10, serving Korean fusion food alongside inventive cocktails that use Korean spirits—such as soju and rice wine—and featuring DJs that know their Korean pop music. The mix of exposed concrete and red bricks walls give it an industrial, big city nightclub vibe, but it’s still small enough to make you feel like you’re “in-the-know” for being there. The interior is split into three zones, with the main bar area in the middle and two cozy seating areas on either side. For snacks try the kimchi risotto, the pork belly injeolmi (a type of pounded rice cake), or the “K” poutine, which uses Korean beef in the gravy and comes topped with diced kimchi. From the cocktail menu, try the Sansachun Sangria, made with Korean rice wine and topped with mixed fresh fruit and elderflower syrup, or take a chance on the Bulgogi Old Fashioned, which features real Korean bulgogi sauce and is served with side of dark chocolate. Open daily from 6pm till 1am. www.facebook.com/sulbkk

THE WOOF TOP IS A ROOFTOP BAR WITH AN ARTY ANGLE By the time you read this the Woof Top bar will have officially opened its doors. This fifth floor rooftop venue offers amazing treetop level views over the green expanse of Lumphini Park directly across the road, and there’s even a retractable canopy for inclement weather. The daily “happy hour” specials also make it way more affordable than Bangkok’s more sky-high rooftop bars.

It’s open daily from 5pm till midnight, but if you arrive earlier be sure to check out the entire Woof Pack building (located on Sala Daeng Soi 1). This creatively repurposed office block is home to several boutique design firms and marketing agencies, but the team behind the reclamation project also made room for art-related public access areas and cool drink and dine spots. There’s an art gallery on the second floor, as well as the Bangkok Screening Room, an art house cinema showing a diverse selection of indie films, provocative documentaries, and cinematic classics. Meanwhile, the food and beverage venues include: Gus Damn Good, an artisanal ice cream shop; Meatchop Butcher & Spirits, a steak restaurant and bar; Hung-Sen, a casual Thai food eatery; F.I.X., a nitro coffee tap café; and Happy Endings, a cozy little romantic hideaway serving contemporary takes on classic Vietnamese dishes. www.woofpackbangkok.com

PIZZAIOLA BY PIZZA MASSILIA OPENS UP IN CENTRAL WORLD Located on the 7th floor of the massive Central World shopping complex, Pizzaiola is the latest project from the award-winning team behind Pizza Massilia. The varied menu here features a mix of traditional and not-so-traditional pizzas, many utilizing ingredients from local farmers and producers. The décor features Mediterranean white and blue Greek inspired ceramic wall patterns, with a grand Stefano Ferrara pizza oven as the centrepiece. For those who like classic Italian, the marinara is pizza as its purest— with fresh mozzarella flown in from Campania that will stay gooey all the way till the end. Or, try a pizza with a Thai twist and order either the Chiang Mai-style sai-ua sausage pizza, or the spicy pork pad kra pow pizza. Other menu highlights include the gnocco fritto & prosciutto, a deep-fried pastry that is paired perfectly with Italian cured Parma ham, as well as a variety of pastas and mouth-watering desserts. www.pizzaiola.co

MODEL MARKET BRINGS A NEW FUNKY VIBE TO THONG LOR CREATIVE COCKTAILS AT 1826 MIXOLOGY & ROOFTOP BAR Located atop the Rembrandt Hotel, the recently unveiled 1826 Mixology & Rooftop Bar is the latest addition to Bangkok’s skybar scene. The bar’s name signifies the address—Sukhumvit Soi 18, on the 26th floor—and as expected, the sunset city views are fabulous.

From 5pm till 26 minutes after 6 (18:26 hrs) enjoy a trio of refreshing sundowner cocktails, each priced at just THB 200. The main menu also includes a selection of fine cigars, as well as 12 elaborately crafted cocktails, each one with a story behind it that master mixologist Stephen Pinto is happy to share. Some of his cocktails also invite participation from the customer, including the Holi cocktail (THB 350), which lets you create a multi-coloured design of your own in the white foam, and the Undecided (THB 450), a mystery drink that lets you scan an edible QR code to find out what the ingredients are. Delicious bar snacks are also available, derived from the kitchens of the hotels three in-house restaurants: Da Vinci (Italian); Mexicano (Mexican); and Rang Mahal (Indian).

Described as an “upcycled urban space”, Model Market BKK is a new open-air eating and drinking venue, with assorted food trucks, food stalls, and drink stations from some of Bangkok’s most loved bars and restaurants (Peppina, Tropic City, Mikkeller, etc). The team behind the project—which is temporary, and may only last another six months—have converted an abandoned urban lot into a unique social hub, while at the same time mandating a “zero waste policy”, as the décor is all repurposed material and there is little or no plastic or paper waste. The vibe is definitely laid back and casual, with music provided by Bangkok’s hottest DJs, plus live performances by singer songwriters on the weekends. Open daily from 5pm till midnight. www.facebook.com/modelmarketbkk

泰国 家庭.友谊

FAMILY-FRIENDLY THAILAND Whether you’re travelling with teens or toddlers, Thailand has plenty of fun-filled attractions that will delight kids of all ages 无论您是与青少年还是幼儿来旅游，泰国都有许多适合家庭的旅游景点。 Compiled by Bruce Scott

T

hailand is probably the best set up country in Southeast Asia for family vacations. It has an incredible diversity when it comes to geography, so whether you and your family want a sun-soaked beach vacation or a holidays in the hills, there’s something for everyone. However, the thing that really sets Thailand apart is that it’s generally extremely safe, and that’s a concern every parent shares.

Many hotels these days offer specialized kids’ clubs, as well as babysitting services and other play facilities, and Thailand is no exception. But there’s plenty to do outside the confines of your hotel, and zoos and aquariums are sure bets for entertaining children. You also can’t go wrong visiting amusement parks and water parks, and Thailand has some of the best in this part of the world. And even when the weather doesn't cooperate there are still plenty of indoor activities to choose from as well, including wacky museums, game arcades, and fascinating arts and crafts workshops.

But parents should also take the opportunity to expose their children to Thailand’s local culture and food. Visiting temples, palaces, ancient cities, and other historical landmarks is a great introduction to Thai culture, just be sure to keep everyone hydrated, well fed, and rested along the way. Some parents even enroll with their kids in Thai cooking classes, which is a delicious and delightful family bonding experience.

In this cover story feature we focus on the best family-friendly attractions in four of Thailand’s premier vacation spots. Kids love the beach, so three of the four featured destinations offer plenty of sun and sand. Hua Hin is a great spot for travelers looking for something close to Bangkok, Koh Samui offers the seclusion and safety of an island getaway, while Phuket is large enough to offer a bit of everything. However, many families are attracted to the slow life pace and natural beauty of Chiang Mai, where elephant camps, river rafting, and mountain excursions are all close at hand.

泰国可能是东南亚最适合家庭度假的国家。 它有着地理方面的多样性，无论您 和您的家人想要享受阳光普照的海滩度假还是山区度假，都能满足每个人的需求。 然 而，让泰国与众不同的是，它的公共安全，这也是每个父母共同关注的问题。 如今，许多酒店都提供专门的儿童俱乐部，以及保姆服务和其他游乐设施，泰国 也例外。 除了酒店内的设施,在酒店附近还会有很多地方，动物园和水族馆肯定会中意 孩子。 游览公园和水上公园也是不错的选择，泰国在这些方面做的就特别的好。 父母可以借此机会你们的孩子接触泰国当地的文化和美食。 参观寺庙，宫殿，古 城和其他历史地标,这些都是对泰国文化一个很好的了解， 您还可以和孩子们一起参加 泰国的烹饪班，这会给你一个美味和愉快的家庭体验。 这期的封面故事中，我们专注于泰国最适合家庭四个主要度假胜地. 孩子们喜欢海滩，因此四个特色目的地中有三个会带给您充足的阳光和沙滩。 华 欣是寻找曼谷附近景点的游客的理想之地，苏梅岛提供隐居式的岛屿度假，而普吉岛 则足够大，可以提供一切你想要的。 然而，许多家庭也会被清迈缓慢的生活节奏和自 然美景所吸引，那里的大象营，漂流和山地游览都近在咫尺。

Flight of the Gibbon

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Sitting at an elevation of 1,050 metres, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a Theravada Buddhist temple located about 15 km from the Chiang Mai city centre. This sacred site is commonly referred to as simply ‘Doi Suthep’, although this is actually the name of the mountain it sits upon. Legend says that the temple was founded in 1383, and over time the complex has expanded and been made to look more extravagant. The road to the temple was built in 1935, and from the parking lot at the temple's base visitors can climb the 309 steps to reach the pagodas, or take a tram. From the top the views of downtown Chiang Mai and the surrounding countryside are impressive, but visiting here is also a great way to expose children to Thai culture.

This is followed by a delicious, locally sourced Thai lunch, and a hike to the Mae Kampong waterfall or the Mae Kampong wooden temple (depending on the weather).

T

he southern province of Trang may be one of Thailand’s best-kept secrets. It’s located just south of Krabi province, and offers visitors an abundance of beautiful beaches, idyllic tropical islands, and scenic mountainous countryside. With so much to explore and enjoy it’s surprising that Trang is not flooded with more tourists.

However, the fact that it is somewhat “undiscovered” just adds to its charm.

Trang City, situated just north of the Trang airport, is the capital of the province and has a very attractive historical district. Take a leisurely stroll around this laid-back town and discover the many historic “Sino-Portuguese” style buildings that have been lovingly preserved. Most of Trang’s historic houses are concentrated around Kantang, Sathanee, and Ratchadamnoen roads, and recently local artists have painted colourful frescoes and murals on some of these historic walls—turning them into great selfie spots.

Other historic landmarks include the Dugong Fountain roundabout, which pays homage to Trang’s famous marine mammal, and the Trang Church, which dates back to1915.

The original church was built out of bamboo, but it was renovated and rebuilt, using brick, plaster, and concrete, back in 1985.

However, there are even more amazing beaches to be found on some of the small islands that lie just off the coast, and organized boat trips to these tropical hideaways leave from the pier at Pakmeng every morning.

Our trip took us first to the ‘Emerald Cave’, which is a beautiful hidden lagoon accessible only by swimming slowly through a dark and narrow cave underneath a giant karst (limestone) rock formation.

It’s a bit of a spooky journey, but expert guides lead all visitors in and out. And when large tour groups arrive, the line of swimmers forming a human chain in the water can be extremely long. The next stop on our trip was a bit of snorkeling off the coast of Koh Kradan. The shallow waters here are crystal clear and the corals are quite healthy, which means you’ll see lots of fish as well.

After snorkeling we had a seriously delicious picnic lunch on Koh Kradan, followed by some leisure time just enjoying the stunning white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters. Afterwards, we did a second snorkel stop at Koh Chuek, where the fish were even more abundant. Finally, we ended our tour with another beach stop at Koh Ngai, which is a postcard perfect tropical paradise. 首先一定要去“翡翠洞”，这是一个美丽的泻湖，只 能通过在巨大的岩溶（石灰岩）岩层下面的一个黑暗狭 窄的洞穴中缓慢游动。 这是一个有点怪异的旅程，但有 专业导游带领游客进出。 当大型旅行团到达时，在水中 形成人链一同前往。下一站是在Koh Kradan海岸浮潜。 这里的海水清澈透明，珊瑚非常漂亮，这就意味着你会 看到很各种各样的鱼类。 浮潜之后，我们在Koh

The trip to and from the mainland passes by many giant karst (limestone) rock formations that jut straight out of the water at seemingly impossible angles. Southern Thailand is famous for these dramatic natural wonders, and the ones in Trang are just as breathtaking as the ones in Krabi, PhangNga, and Phuket.

Trang is also a producer of robusta coffee beans, and you can learn more about coffee production in this region by visiting Father's Farm Thailand, located at 235 Moo 1, Ao Tong sub-district, Wang Wiset district (near the border with Krabi province). Check out this fun and funky family-run business, and try some of their delicious coffee, as well as teas, juices, and even oven-baked pizza.

Not far from Father's Farm is a small apiary (bee farm), where local farmers produce both honey, and honey-based soaps and shampoos. You can also learn about local rice cultivation here, and perhaps eat fresh mulberries (in season) picked right of the bush. We even got to try a special Thai delicacy that is quite popular in this region—steamed pitcher plant pods filled with black sticky rice and coconut milk. Delicious!

Songkran Festival 泼水节

FOR MANY IT’S BECOME THE BIGGEST WATER PISTOL BATTLE IN THE WORLD, BUT THE ORIGINS OF SONGKRAN ARE ANCHORED IN ANCIENT BELIEFS 对于现代的许多人来说，它已经成为世界上最大的水之战，但是真正的泼水节起源是建立在古老的信仰之上的。

I

n Thailand, Songkran is the annual new year’s holiday that runs from April 13th to 15th (however, some regions of the Kingdom, such as Chiang Mai, stretch the festivities out a few days longer). Over the past few decades Songkran has taken on legendary status as one of the wettest and wildest parties on the planet, but it’s important to remember that this festival—also celebrated in other Southeast Asian Buddhist countries, including Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia—is rooted in ancient traditions.

The solar-lunar New Year, when the sun passes from the sign of Pisces into the sign of Aries in the zodiac, is called Samkranta (Sanskrit for “fully passed over”), which is where the word “songkran” comes from. On the first day 48 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

在泰国，泼水节是一年一度的新年假期，从4月13日到15 日（但是一些地区，如清迈，也会将庆祝活动延长几天）。 在 过去的几十年里，泼水节已经成为地球上最疯狂的派对之一， 但是重要的是要记住这个节日 - 在其他东南亚佛教国家，包括 老挝，缅甸和柬埔寨 - 也是如此。 这都是来源于古老的传统。 太阳 - 农历新年，当太阳从双鱼座转到黄道十二宫 的白羊座志时，被称为Samkranta（梵语“完全通过”），这 是“songkran”这个词的来源。 在节日的第一天，人们要按照传 统将家里全部清洗一遍，以迎接新年的到来。 当天将穿上新衣 服，而旧衣服和可有可无的家庭用品将被丢弃。 在第二天，被 当地人崇拜的佛像将寺院为起点，并在街头游行。 通常在庆祝 活动的第三天，佛像将返回他们的寺院，在那里他们接受洗澡 仪式，因为贡者在佛像上倒水。 所以也有信仰的人也会把水倒 在年长的佛教僧侣和他们家中的长辈的手中。

of the festival, people traditionally give their homes a thorough cleaning to welcome the New Year spirit. New clothes would be worn, while old clothing and dispensable household possessions would be thrown away.

On the second day, important Buddha images would be taken from local monasteries and paraded in the streets. Typically, on the third day of celebrations, Buddha images are returned to their monastery homes where they receive a ritual bathing as devotees pour water over the images. The faithful will also pour water over the hands of older Buddhist monks, and elders in their family.

Although the meaning of this “water festival” is kept alive by traditional ceremonies, nowadays it’s also a festival devoted to fun… and getting very, very wet! In the bigger cities Songkran has escalated to a fullscale aquatic assault, involving water guns, hoses, and virtually anything that can soak other people. Along with a liberal dousing of water, expect to have your cheeks smeared with din sor pong, a natural white powder made primarily from limestone clay which, when mixed with water, forms a paste-like substance. 虽然这个“水节”的意义是由传统仪式变而 来，但现在它已经是一个致力于娱乐的节日...... 并且变得非常非常湿！
