首先，请允许我祝您有一个快乐和硕果 累累的新年。希望2016年对您来说又是 最好的一年。我们同时也要感谢过去一 年里所有支持和合作的小伙伴。我们很 感激每一个给我们提的意见和反馈，因 为这些不同的声音鼓励我们激发出更 多的创意，同时也促进和改善我们未来 的出版物。
自从上一期发布后，我们现在愿与您 分享我们最新的动态。尽管过去的两 年内，因为政治局势原因导致旅游业 一直苦苦挣扎，政府和利益相关者一 直在努力通过当地旅游景点的多样性和 独特性来促进和刺激旅游业的发展。因 此，我们24Life杂志将为您提供泰国的 各种有趣的，不是大众趋之若鹜的旅游 景点信息。
irst of all, let me wish you a Happy and fruitful New Year. May 2016 be the best year yet for you. We would also like to thank you for all the support and partnership the past year. We have appreciated every comment and feedback, as it encourages us to contribute ideas about improvements to our further publications. It has been a while since our last issue and we would like to share some of our latest updates with you. Although tourism has been stubbornly underperforming more than two years as a result of political situations, the government and relevant stakeholders in the tourism industry have been trying to stimulate tourism growth by enhancing tourism destinations and entertainment spots through promoting the variety and uniqueness of attractions offered by local people. Hence, this issue of 24Life magazine will provide you with information about Thailand’s interesting, unseen tourist attractions.
According to the government’s data, China provided the most tourists to Thailand last year, while Malaysia and Japan came in a distant second and third, respectively. Particularly, several hospitality businesses are preparing by offering Chinese-oriented tours and amenities. There is also a new and growing sector of Chinese tourists who are the young backpackers or sports adventurers interested in exploring new spots across Thailand. It is time for us to enhance knowledge and better understanding of traditional cultures, cuisines, values, and beliefs of those tourists.
根据政府统计数据，泰国成为去年最受 中国游客追捧的旅游目的地，其次位于 第二的马来西亚和第三的日本。特别是 很多酒店行业向游客提供的中国特色的 项目和特色。同时中国年轻背包客或探 险类型游客来泰国旅游的数目比重增 大。这让我们增加了对于这些新型游客 类型的认识，文化，美食，及价值观的 理解都有促进作用。
最后，我们希望再次聆听到您对于 24Life杂志类容的任何声音和不同意 见，您对已经阅读故事的反馈，或者有 关于如何改善我们的表现和工作质量的 想法。我们将感谢您的赞美和建议，并 分享到我们的团队中去。
VP Editor in Chief 总裁及总编 24 Life Magazine 24Life杂志

strong and safe that you can walk without worried. Or may be a little bit exciting as some parts of the floor are made of glass, thick glass of course, but can still give a flutter. If you want to try for yourself, the walkway is not far from Glasshouse Complex.
After a long day trip around Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, you may consider taking a fresh rest at the Mae Sa Noi Waterfall, a small waterfall inside the garden. Its cold water and refreshing atmosphere can put you to an energetic mode once again.
The Glasshouse Complex is an extensive glass house perching on the hill. The largest section inside is the Rain Forest area. The other sections are displaying desert plants, water plants, ferns and orchids. Moreover, there are White Flower Garden, Natural Science Museum, Arboretum Trail and many other trails to learn more about the nature.
There are several beautiful spots to hang around and get to know the nature more. We may not be able to tell you about them all as there are so many. So, let’s come. It is good to take your family members, friends, lover, with you. Even coming here by yourself can be enjoyable as well cause the whole place is really worth visiting!

Auckland New Zealand
奥克兰 : 新西兰 Story & Photos by Praewthip Saithai
W
aking up from a terrible jet-lag, I realized that another day, yesterday, was gone again. I didn’t know if it had gone to waste but they said the time spent wasting on what you need was never wasted. Landing my feet in four countries in the past ten days, the rest was perfectly acceptable. I laid there and thought about how should I ‘waste’ the rest of my one blue skies clear day in this lovely city of Auckland? Then the idea illuminated ‘how about I converted to a divergent in my own world and did things differently from what I usually did?’ It was five o’clock in the morning and I would normally be in bed but I was wide awake, not wanting to force myself back into the same old comfort. Out of the bed, a day spent truly wasted but not a waste, just like how I had secretly wanted my up coming twenty sixteen to be. A cooling breeze greeted me at seven in the morning with the temperature of 10 degrees, yet it felt just comfortable as a young sunlight and clean cooling fresh air brushed over my cheeks. I was foreign to this city but I felt light as a bird. My last time here was almost two years ago and it was just as brief as this time. I was no expert to where I was headed or what the roads had to offer, I just knew that if I took a left from the intersection right in front of the hotel, I would end up at Victoria Street, the CBD; and it was not until late afternoon that I would see my Kiwi girl, who I made friends with from home in Thailand. I followed the enthusiastic hotel concierge’s suggestion that checking out a city’s prime scene could never disappoint, moreover, to go about without plans but plenty of rooms for unexpected discoveries was really topping today’s trends anyways. 48 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e
从一个可怕的时差里醒来时， 我意识到又一天，昨天，已经 过去了。我不知道它是否是被 挥霍掉的一天，因为他们说如 果花时间在你需要的事情上它 就不能够被称为浪费。降落在 过去十天里我脚下的第四个国 家，其他的一切都可说是称心 如意的。我就躺在那里想象着 我应该怎么去“浪费”在这个拥有 美丽湛蓝天空的奥克兰城剩下 的时间。然后这个“为什么不转 换我自己在不同世界做一些不 同寻常事情”的想法所启发。那 是一个凌晨五点的清晨，我通 常还赖在床上，但我那时很清 醒，更不想强迫自己回到原来 的一成不变的生活。从床上一 跃而起后，一个尽情挥霍而不 是浪费的一天开始了，就像自 己悄悄幻想那个即将到来的26 岁一样。 七点的清晨和十度的气温在泛 着寒意的微风中迎接着我，但 我感觉很舒服，就像刚日出的 阳光和干净清新的空气轻抚着 我的脸颊。我是这个城市里的 陌生人，但我却觉得身轻如 鸟。记得最后一次在这个城市 已是两年前，但仿佛就像一切 就在昨天一样。我从来不是一 个计划行程的旅游者，也不知 道我将去的地方或是那里的任 何街道。但我知道在酒店门前 的十字路口左转后就可达到中 心商业街的维多利亚大道。直 到下午晚些时候，我才看到我 的朋友，一个在泰国认识的新 西兰女孩。我随着那热心的酒 店服务员给我推荐的不会令我 失望的主要景点，而且，一个 没有计划的旅行总是能让您发 现一些惊喜，反正这些已经足 够超过我今天的预期了。
The city’s Saturday morning was interesting, it was a lot quieter than I expected. Accommodating me was just a group of senior local travelers in bright summer clothes, dragging their luggage around and searched for directions. A few gentle men were sitting on the side walk bench, either looking at their smartphones or stared in vacuum. Nevertheless, there was something serene about the weekend morning. Everyone was by themselves but nobody was fully preoccupied with what they were doing, rather everyone was welcoming the warmth of a friendly daylight, the rare peacefulness of Auckland’s main streets and the non-crowded Sky-tower landscape without curious peeping tourists. We, as morning birds had something in common and it was to treasure the moment which allowed us to have our eye brows and minds unknot. It was a kind of a boosting energy which everyone needed every once in awhile. Especially, in today’s fast phase life. I doubted if I could ever afford a moment like this in London or New York, my dear favorite capital cities too, but Auckland was just different. Contradicting myself as usual, I wondered, maybe I didn’t even need to be in a city where everybody was light haired (given that I was asian) or where others’ hairs were dark and skins yellow if you were from the Western world, you just had to be in, perhaps, the same place but at a different
time, the time which you would not normally see yourself standing there and that familiar seascape would adopt you to an unexplored world. On the same side of the story, trying a new drink at a regular cafe could simply help you score an extra point. I never had to rehearse my order at Starbucks as I would always go for a tall Americano but surprisingly, was it because I kicked off the day being a different person that I didn’t even feel like a cup of an Americano? Instead, my mouth was watering when I spotted the Signature Mint Hot Chocolate on the menu and ended up getting it. It was delicious and smooth as how the morning had been. I thanked myself as I knew for sure that they did not have this drink in Thailand-- there something solid and new I allowed myself to feel today. I decided to sit outside the air-conditioning room and if you were there too, it would be impossible to miss the half finished giant Santa just right outside Starbucks, Victoria Street. I learned later that it was built for the Christmas parade every year. There were continuos crowds of the city’s locals who stopped and snapped a photo. It was not just the headless Santa that was interesting but what the image in front of me reflected was that I too, was a work in progress. I couldn’t help but wonder what 2016 would have to offer.
这个城市周六的早晨很有意思， 比我之前预期的更加的安静。随 大流的我就像一群当地的资深游 客，穿着鲜艳的夏天的衣服，拖 着行李箱，然后寻找着方向。一 群绅士坐在步行街的长椅上，一 些人在看他们的手机，要不就是 在发呆。然而，在那个宁静的周 末早晨。每个人都在各行其是， 但没有人注意到他们到底在做什 么，而不是每个人都在这个晴天 热情的欢迎来自各地的人们。奥 克兰的主街上，罕见的熙熙攘攘 的街道，观景大楼少了平时好奇 留念的游客们。我们和早起的鸟 儿的共同点就是珍惜眼前的一 切，让视野和思想经受这一刻得 到解放。这是一种人人都需要 的，情感释放瞬间的正能量。特 别是今天的快餐式生活。我怀疑 过自己是否能经受这样的瞬间， 就像我最爱的城市纽约或伦敦一 样。但是奥克兰不同，我像往常 一样的自我矛盾着，也许是因为 我没有这个城市里其他人一样的 金色头发吧（因为我是亚洲人） ，或者其他人都是深色或黄色肤 色，如果你不是来自西方世界的 话，还是得接受现实，或许在同 样的地方不同的时间里你通常不 会看到自己曾经站在那里，那熟 悉的海景将带你回到一个陌生 的世界。
在这故事的另一面，在熟悉的咖 啡馆尝试着新的饮品是能给你额 外加分的简单方式。我从未在星 巴克试练过自己最喜爱的美式咖 啡，但奇怪的是，因为今天是崭 新一天的开始而不去点我最爱的 美式咖啡。相反，当我看到薄荷 热巧克力的时候，我已经开始下 咽口水了。它真的很美味，而且 光滑得如今早刚过的清晨。我很 感谢自己，因为我知道在泰国式 没有这个口味的。这里有一个让 我坚强和崭新的感觉。我决定坐 在空调房外，如果你也在那里， 你也不会错过维多利亚大街星巴 克外的巨大的圣诞老人的半成 品。后来我才知道这是每年为了 圣诞游行而建的。来往的当地人 都会停下和其留影。尽管那只是 个无头的圣诞老人，但和我自己 也差不多吧。对于将要到来的 2016年，毫无头绪。 见到Gabbi后，这个和我一起在 泰国清迈读高中认识的高大的金 发碧眼新西兰女孩。当时我们还 不是很熟悉，但是这是一个很好 的机会让我再次和她在异国见 面。和不同的人们共进午餐同样 可以更加丰富自己的世界观。
24 LIFE M a g a z i n e l 49
I met Gabbi, a blonde kiwi tall girl back in high school in Chiangmai, Thailand. We were not very close but it was a lovely opportunity for me to ring a familiar face and catch up on lives. The more diverse of the people you had lunch with, the wider your perspective. “Have you been to Mission Bay?” she asked. “I don’t think so, but any where is good on such a lovely perfect-weather Saturday like this,” I replied. After 20 minutes in her mini Suzuki sedan, I sighted a vibrant beach front, where unlike South East Asia, instead of a stretched range of coconut trees, there stood full bloomed, wide trunked large trees. We took a walk along the beach side where the sands where light beige and fluid to our feet--’what a gentle nature touch,’ I thought. We delightfully agreed to make a stop at one of the irresistible looking roof top bars and restaurants, where my tummy was already celebrating excitedly for some New Zealand mussels. Without a reservation, we still managed to score a table with a view, looking over the beach front. Not too long, my mixed grill platter arrived but my secret celebration continued as the mussels tasted nothing but perfection. My favorite had
“你去过使命湾吗？”她问我。“ 我不知道啊。其他地方有像这里 一样有一个美丽的气候的周六 吗？”我回答到。20分钟后，坐 上她可爱的小铃木汽车，我们来 到这个充满活力的海滨，那里不 像东南亚一样是并排而列的椰树， 而是枝叶茂盛的苍天大树。 我们沿着海滩散步，感受那浅米 色的沙滩和海水没过脚踝。我想 这就是“和大自然的亲密接触” 吧。我们都欣然地不约而同的同 意在屋顶的餐吧用餐，因为我的 肚子已经受不了新西兰贻贝的诱 惑。我们在没有预约的情况下还 是坐到了一个可以俯瞰海滨的位 置。没过多久，我点的综合烧烤 拼盘已经上桌，我秘密庆祝自己 的活动像我爱的贻贝一样完美的继 续着。我一直很喜欢混合烧烤。 一个拼盘里拥有我想要的一切， 香脆的起司，地中海风格的熟食

always been the mixed grills. In one plate, served everything one could ask for, crisply cheesy, mediterranean-style cooked, buttered or to simply put, all the goodness of the mussels at one shot to fill you up for the rest of the day. My authentic New Zealand mussel crave had been satisfied, cheers. Fishing off the evening, I reunited with my shopaholic self, ensuring that I had completed my New Zealand’s Manuka honey shopping list. In my opinion, these sweet treats made healthy and truly loving New Years gifts for my loved one as the honey were so nutritiously made and were local special. Shopping scene along Queen street was as phenomenon as other premier shopping destinations. I spotted Louis Vuitton, Prada and other luxury and street brands just on my way to the city’s pier, where I decided to watch the sunset and call it a day. Over looking the pier, despite a happening Saturday night stage behind me, the waves were as serene as stars in a bright mist. “This is what I need to do more in the coming 2016,” I took a deep revivifying breath, concluding to myself with a modest smile.
和黄油。或者简单的来说，这上 天馈赠的贻贝能充实我今天剩下 的时间。我对正宗的新西兰贻贝 的渴望已经实现了。干杯！ 晚上到来的时候，我马上开启疯 狂的购物模式，以确保我完成对 新西兰麦卢卡蜂蜜清单的采购。 在我看来，这些当地特色的甜食 是对我爱的人最健康最营养的最 棒的新年礼物。沿着皇后大街的 购物中心和其他主要购物圣地一 样。我在LV，普拉达等奢侈品牌 和街头品牌驻足后径直向城市码 头方向走去，因为我决定在那里 观赏日落后结束一天的行程。 俯瞰码头，在我身后喧嚣的周六 夜晚和繁星点缀下宁静的海浪成 为鲜明的对比。“这就是我需要 在2016年付出更多的原因”。我深 深的吸了一口气，微笑着总结了 一下自己的计划。
If I may give you bits of my advice for the twenty-sixteen, as a friend, of course, I urged you to kickstart the year finding or doing what you have always desired to do. Shape yourself to be the person you have always wanted to be, needn’t you seek perfection, but aim for progress and cherish those small things in life which you have done differently. The moments which you have pushed yourself to become happier, those small pushes are glorious. My twenty sixteen is going to be a year of appreciation and self-triumph towards a happier lifestyle and clearer head. Thank you, Auckland for an opportunity to observe and reflect on life, for a tremendous source of energy. You have been a uniquely wonderful experience.
如果我可以作为朋友给你点点关 于26岁的建议的话，我督促你 赶快开始做你在2016年最想做 的事情吧！改变自己成为自己梦 想里的人，不需要完美，但要确 立自己的目标和计划，珍惜生活 中的小细节，让自己感受到不 同。让自己感受到小细节带给自 己越来越快乐的瞬间。2016年 将是我让自己走向更幸福的生 活，清晰的目标。非常感谢你， 奥克兰。你给了我一次观察和思 考生活的机会，带给我满满对待 生活的正能量。这一次独特难忘 的美妙体验！

Interview
Tony 博士 – 帕瓦纳度假村健康理疗项目背后的男人
Dr. TONY
The man behind Pavana Resort’s healthy programs
The Background
The Healthy Way
With a degree in natural medicine from University of Natural Medicine, USA, Dr. Tony is a specialist in nutrition, natural food natural therapy, and food therapy, as well as preventive approaches to healthy living. In contrast to modern medicine, Dr. Tony focuses on the prevention and alternative medicine, with an emphasis on cleansing food and herbs that detoxify the body and prevent potential illnesses.
Prevention and treatment go hand in hand with one another, and it’s impossible to live without each one. It’s better to prevent illnesses than curing them, and that’s when natural medicine comes in. Let food be the medicine because good and healthy vegetables don’t have the side effects as modern medicines do. It may be difficult to eat healthily all year, but 3-7 days of cleansing with juices, nutrients, and herbs will definitely help ease a long year of toxin and balance your body.
Inspiration The passion in nutrition is the fundamental inspiration for Dr. Tony. His inventive cleansing recipes and methods were tested and personally used consistently for over 15 years. As cleansing helps eliminate toxins from the body, over the years, he did not have any serious illness and felt wonderfully healthy, and that solidified his idea to set up the Detox center to promote cleansing and healthy living in Pavana. You might feel fine and believe there are no toxins building up inside. However, according to alternative medicine, there are 8 types of toxins in the body, including alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, pollution, pesticide, fat, glucose, and stress. Modern lifestyle makesit impossible to avoid all these toxins, so you should at least cleanse at least once a year. 52 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e
Nutrition is a modern knowledge, but if we combine the knowledge with healthy food, it’ll be a great motivation for people to happily eat right and get the same amount of vitamins and minerals just like modern tablet vitamins.
A Healthy Advice In addition to myriad of preventive medicines, cleansing is simply consuming high anti-oxidant foods in an appropriate amount, according to each individual needs. Each menu we’ve invented is carefully formulated to provide the required amount of vitamins you needed in a day, and our fiber drink is cautiously calculated to give you adequate energy while keeping you full.

健康之路
一个健康的忠告
Tony 博士从美国天然药物大学取 得天然药物学学位后, 致力并专注 在天然食材疗法以及疾病预防的 健康生活专家. 与现代医学相比, Tony 博士更加注重利用洁净的食 材和草药,以及身心排毒的方式来 预防潜在疾病的发生。
Tony 博士的灵感源自対天然食物的 激情,他研发的排毒配方和方法已经 使用超过15年, 多年以来,这些体内 清洁配方帮助他洁净体内毒素,所以 他一直保持十分健康并且没有任何 其他疾病发生, 基于此,Tony 博士以 促进食疗和增进生活健康的理念, 在 PAVANA成立了健康理疗排毒中心
预防和治疗齐头并进，缺一而不可。 比起治疗，食物疗法预防是更佳的选 择。让食物成为可口良药，把健康无 副作用的蔬菜当做现代医药。其实全 年每天都吃的健康是很难的，但是3 到7天内的果汁，营养物质和草药是 肯定有助于缓解一年来的毒素等，从 而达到平衡您的身体。 营养学是一个现代知识，但是如果我 们结合健康的饮食，这对于人们想快 乐健康的饮食和获得维生素和矿物质 将是一个巨大的动力源泉，就像现代 医疗的维生素胶囊一样。
除了无数的预防性药物，食物疗法 的清洁功能往往简单地消耗在适当 量的高抗氧化食物里。而根据每个 个体的需要，我们创造且精心定制 的每个菜单都为您提供了您一天内 所需的维生素，而我们的纤维饮料 也是通过谨慎的计算，在带给您足 够能量的同时也让您动力满满。
当体内毒素排除之后, 您会发现自我 感觉越来越好, 根据替代医学的论述, 人体内包含了8种以上的毒素: 酒精, 咖啡因, 尼古丁,污染物, 农药, 脂肪, 糖和压力. 现代人不可能避免这些毒 素在体内残留,所以您至少每年必须 进行一次体内净化排毒.
