Bonjour, je suis pas un expert pour la thailande, j'ai eu du mal à me décider aussi. Je pars bientot pour 3 semaines, j'ai décidé de faire Chiang Mai pour les visites et ensuite d'aller sur Ko Samui (Ko Phagnan, Ko Tao) pour la plage et rester à Bangkok quelques jours avant mon retour.
Pour le culturel je ne sais pas trop, je pense qu'il faut plus aller vers le nord. Par conter pour le farniente, je suis allé au sud et plus particulièremement dans l'archipel de tarutao, c'était extra. Je crois que Koh lipe a changé depuis mais il y a 2 ans c'était une vrai carte postale. Pour des vacances plus "sauvages" il y a koh tarutao, tu peux camper sur la plage, c'est un parc naturel avec pas mal de ballades et surtout la mer pour toi tout seul. Sinon dans les parcs peu fréquentés il ne faut pas négliger Ko Sok qui s'avère être un parc naturel très agréable avec des trecks assez facils ou on peut croiser pas mal de singes (langur, macaques évidement et avec beaucioup de patience des gibons), les guest houses ou lodges sont souvent dans les arbres, ce qui donne un peu d'originalité à la nuit.
Pour les achats et autres Bangkok est le temple, il y a des marchés de nuits, de jours, des centres commerciaux, des petites boutiques etc...Les visites sont elles aussi assez intéressantes, ça vaut le coup d'y séjourner quelques temps.

Bon, 15 jours ca va super vite passer, je vous conseille de ne pas trop étendre le nombre de destinations, vous n'allez faire que de courir et ce n'est plus forcément des vacances.
Comme la plupart, faire Chiang Mai 1 semaine et une île l'autre. C'est le classique (que je ne dénigre pas, chacun ses plaisirs où il les trouve).
Comme j'aime bcp cette ville, je vous conseillerai Ayuthaya, 1h40 au nord de bkk depuis la gare Hualumpong. 20 bht le train "rapid", idem ou 11 bht le bus depuis Mo Chit (la station de bus Nord et Est), 65 bht le minibus depuis Victory Monument, 1500-2000 bht le taxi depuis Suvarnabumi. C'était l'ancienne capitale, donc pleine d'histoire et d'anciens Temples. C'est très étendu mais quel plaisir de se balader au petit bonheur dans cette ville et campagne. Tout est plat et la petite brise que procure la pédale est bien agréable. Personnellement j'y suis resté en tout environ 2 mois et j'y retourne lors de mon prochain voyage. Bon, j'y ai des amis ce qui me fais m'y rendre régulièrement. Mais je ne m'y suis jamais embêté. Il y a toujours un chemin que je n'avais encore jamais fait qui croise ma route :-). Tout ca pour dire qu'en 1 jour, je trouve ca un peu short, 2-3 au min et plus selon l'attirance ressentie.
Une autre visite pourrait être Sukothai, un peu plus au nord, je crois vers les 2h de route depuis Ayuthaya (je n'y suis pas encore allé). Plusieurs disent que c'est plus fourni niveau anciens Temples et culture ? Vous pourriez y rester 2-3 jours aussi.
Avec 1-2 jours à Bkk en arrivant (plutot 1 et Bkk au retour), 1 avant de descendre dans le Sud (en avion pour gain de temps et confort), vous êtes à une semaine.
Pour les îles, suivant votre période, vous devrez favoriser l'est du golf (Ko Samet, Ko Chang, ...), l'ouest du golf (Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, Ko Tao, ...), ou l'ouest (Ko Phuket, Ko Phiphi, ...). Bien que comme en Europe le temps devient barge, il faut regarder quand sont les moussons. Souvent, quand il pleut à Samui, il fait beau à Phuket. Sinon au niveau des plages, on trouve de tout partout : des coins tranquilles et sinon les chaises longues, les jet-ski, le parachute ascentionel, bref, tous les amusements de Disneyland. De nouveau, à chacun son bonheur.
Bref, sinon la Thailande est un pays dangereux, sortir le soir est suicidaire, les gens sourient pour mieux vous arnaquer, la drogue est légion dans la rue, bref, bon voyage !!
Non, non, les 2 lignes ci-dessus ne sont que rigolade. J'ai parfois envie de le dire par égoisme, histoire qu'il n'y ait pas trop de farang comme moi 😛
Voici mon humble opinion mais gardez toujours à l'esprit que c'est votre voyage et que les déplacements en Thailande sont relativement faciles quand les locaux en ont l'habitude. Il est donc aisé de modifier son programme en cours de route. D'ailleurs ceux qui font un plan jour par jour et qui s'y tiennent ont tout mon respect car je n'y arriverai jamais dans ce pays.
Bon voyage et Chok dee krap (bonne chance et santé)
Il voulait lui donner des fleurs, mais comme il n'y a pas de fleurs sur l'île, il lui a donné l'argent des fleurs
Merci beaucoup pour vos reponses en effet je viens de voir ca avec madame de 15 on passe a 21 jours ;=)
donc 3 semaines de bonheur.
Je pense donc commencer par 4 jours BKK visiter les temples aux alentours ( wat pho et autres ).
chinatown - ballade en khlongs - siam ocean world
Ensuite avion direction chiang mai ( continuer les petite excusion) d'ailleurs peut on acheter un cicsuit une fois sur place ?
Finir à ko phi phi
Mais je ne sais pas quoi faire merci de ontinuer a m'aider et si vous avez des bon plan sur les destinatio donnée merci d'avance
salut va à Bangkok mais ne prend pas le taxi a l'aéroport sort de la et traverse la route tu prends le taxi la 3x moins chère
pour le culturel tu trouvers dans les rues principale des agences qui te proposent des escurssions organisée rose garden, temple emeraude, lumpini stadium pour la boxe génial, .etc... après pour le repos kho samui ou pucket mais choisit parce qu'il y a pucket tranquille et pucket fuin tu vois ce que je veux dire mais c'est ton choix
bon voyage
salut, surtout n'ecourtez pas votre sejour a Chiang Mai, cette ville vaut plus que quelques jours .
Si vpus voulez gagner du temps, prenez un vol via One Two Go la bas ca ne coute que 20 à 30 euros/personnes .
La partie la plus interressante se situe dans le Nord, paysages, traditions et accueil, je vous conseillerais:
2 jours BKK à l'arrivée
4 ou 5 jours Chiangrai et alentours ( frontières birmanes et Laos + le Mekhong + les éléphants!
3 jours à Chiangmai ( temples, artisanat)
1 nuit à Sukhothai pour le site archéologique
retour BKK
Le reste dans le sud par exemple: Descendre sur Hua Hin puis Bang Saphan, continuation sur Phuket et retour international depuis ce point précis
Après c'est une affaire de budget.. si je peux vous aider, n'hésitez pas!
Nous avons fait grâce à vous un voyage extraordinaire il y a quelques années. Ao Nang que nous avions adoré, Railay, Tup Island, Koh Poda, Night Market de…
Nous projetons de partir avec nos 2 garçons qui auront 6 et 8 ans, en Thaïlande 15 jours fin octobre début novembre Décollage de Genève. Nous souhaitons éviter…
Des amis me demandent des bon conseils pour leurs prochaines vacances vers Koh Phi Phi. Sauf que moi je ne connais que la région de Samui, et qu'en plus nous…
Lors d'un trip à Khao Sok, je voudrais enchainer avec de la plongée aux iles surins ou similan. Au-dela de vos conseils sur l'une d'entre elles, pourriez-vous…
Je termine mon voyage en Thaïlande, et en remontant, de Krabi (aonang) a surat t hani (où j'ai mon train), je voudrais m'arrêter au lac. Mais quelle galère…
Bonjour à tous,

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip?
I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before:
- Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees.
Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands.
Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way).
Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan.
Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide).
Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre.
Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island.
Day 10 – Head to Semporna.
Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai.
Day 15 – Bohey Dulang.
Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous.
I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing.
I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture.
But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary.
If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai?
Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai.
My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok:
No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna:
From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄).
Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM.
Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau:
Found this via AI—is it legit?
No online booking, as far as I can tell.
Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly????
And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi there,

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026.

10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
