Les 4 heures de route qui separent Mrauk U de Aeng ne sont pas accessibles aux etrangers (selon le temoignage d'un anglais qui a tente le coup)
Il te reste de faire mrauk u > sittwe > taungook > pyay > bagan > mandalay , moitie bateau, moitie bus (mais c'ets pas pour les douillets!!)
Par contre, si tu as du temps, de la tachatche et des dizaines de photocopies de ton passeport, tu peux toujours essayer de le faire en bus tout le long
je crois qu'il est plus sage, sauf avis contraire tout récent, de redecendre sur Pyai !
Je me souviens avoir galéré pour une correspondance sur Pyai en 2007!! Suis pas très chaude pour y passer mais pas douillette non plus...
Le train Pyai - Bagan est-il à tenter ou le bus est-il préférable ?
(Je n'ai pas l'intention de rester sur Bagan (5 jours en 2007, magiques !) - j'étais decendue de Mandalay par bateau - inoubliable également.)
Le mélange bateau / bus me semble une bonne solution pour profiter un peu du long voyage, mais sans trop prendre du temps sur la vadrouille au Nord et Nord-Est de Mandalay.
Pour filer vers Mandalay de Pyai, me conseillerais-tu une section d'Ayeyarwaddy ? par exemple Magway / Bagan ?? possible ??
Quels villages méritent-ils un arrêt à ton avis, hors touristes
Sauf, Sauf , Sauf, si une fois à Mrauk -U tu peux prendre un moyen de transport de terrestre pour AENG (ANN), alors la tu pourras rejoindre MAGWAY, plus en amont sur l'ayerwaddy (à travers paysages montagneux fabuleux, car transport de jour, mais faudra prévoir une forme physique de gladiateur🤪)
Cependant, si cela s'avere impossible, rejoindre Taungook, depuis Sittwe et prendre le bus de nuit pour PYAY, dela remonter par Magway jusqu'a Bagan.
Toutes ces villes méritent qu'on s'y attardent si on aime le kitsch des temples birmans, elles sont en outre completement hors des sentiers battus , donc accueil encore plus formidable.
Une fois à Bagan, je te proposerais de traverser le fleuve pour Pakkoku (bus ou bateau), et rejoindre de la, la ville de Monnywa (Les plus grands buddhas couché et debout du pays sont à cote ainsi que les grottes aux fresques de Hpowindawng).
une fois à monnywa, tu seras à quelques heures de minimus de Mandalay.
Je ne suis pas un grand fan des transports fluviaux, car apres quelques heures , les paysages deviennent monotones et on s'ennuie ferme (a part la liaison fluviale dans le sud du pays entre Moulmein et Hpa-An.
Pour le train, jamais pris car cher, payable en us$ et controle par la junte.
Je ne te recommanderais jamais assez, de prevoir plusieurs jours en plus pour unvoyage au Myanmar si tu sors des sentiers battus.
Une dizaine de photocopies passeport et page visa, tampon + eventuellement des photos d'identite au cas ou!!
Avoir la tachatche, de l'humour, beaucoup de patience et des notions en Birman peuvent faire des miracles.
Vous savez il faut pas se leurrer quand il s'agit de partir en Birmanie:
1- On reste des touristes ( certains se plaisentà se définir comme voyageur, je reste sceptique), donc prendre un avion quand on a pas de temps est un reflexe normal.
2-Meme si tu as des capacites de tracabilité extraterrestre, une partie importante de ton argent ou de ton budget de voyage ira dans la poche de la junte ( taxes diverses directes et indirectes)
Cependant, je crois qu'on commence à faire le bon choix quand on voyage en indépendant (routard, sac à dos, plus de temps, sans agence ni organisation au prealable) dans ce pays car:
- On enleve les intérmediaires qui sont tres proche du regime
- On entre en contact avec des gens qui ne vivent pas du tourisme
- on peut avoir une idée plus objective de la vie sur place et en témoigner en retour
- Etre plus proche des habitants, parler avec eux, les soutenir, voir leur dire que les gens savent ce qui se passe, leur permettre de communiquer voire de voyager a travers vos photos et vos mots ( je suis un peu romantique😇)
tu ne cometteras pas de crime contre l'humanité en prenant un avion, par contre en se cloitrant dans des hotels 4*, en mangeant dans leurs restaurants à buffet et en circulant en voiture avec chauffeur climatisé et le tout preparé par une agence qui a des connexions avec la junte c'est rater une occasion de transmettre ses amitiés, ses sourires et d'ecouter le peuple birman, un peuple qui ne vous laisse pas indemne.
Quant a l'aspect ecologique du transport aerien, c'ets chacun avec ses convictions.
Mais alors, le vol transcontinental qui t'a ramené depuis la france, devrait te procurer plus de soucis de ce cote la ( juste pour relativiser)😛.
Reflechis, etudie mais assume tez choix, c'est deja un engagement important que de consommer ton voyage avec un minimum de reflexion et de recul.
Je te mets quelques infos sur 3 compagnies aériennes "privées" birmanes
Yangon Airways was established in 1996 as a joint venture between Myanma Airways and the Krong-Sombat Company of Thailand. In 1997, the MHE-Mayflower Company acquired the Krong-Sombat shares.[2] Myanmar May Flower Group was founded in 1991 by Kyaw Win, an ethnic Chinese, associated with Thai logging companies in the 1980s operating in the border area controlled by Khun Sa, and also with Vice-Senior General Maung Aye.[3][4]
On November 13, 2008 the US Government placed sanctions on the airline under the "Kingpin Act" targeted at narcotics traffickers.[5]
Air Bagan is owned by an arms dealer and businessman by the name of U Tay Za. He has close business and working relations with the ruling military junta of Myanmar. As one of the supposed large beneficiaries of the Burmese military junta, Air Bagan and its owner have allegedly accumulated a vast fortune.
Air Mandalay : The airline was established on 6 October 1994 and started operations on 18 October 1994 with a flight from Yangon to Mandalay. It was the first domestic and regional Joint Venture Airline in Burma. It was established as a joint venture between Air Mandalay Holdings Singapore (51%) and Myanma Airways.
les compagnies privées appartiennent aux gens de la Junte !!!! 🤪
Je sais très bien que le vol transcontinental est le plus impactant mais incontournable sauf à rester chez soi - tous les ans , je me dis que c'est la dernière fois, mais l'attirance est trop grande.
(Simplement je connais des voyageurs autour du Monde écocitoyens qui se sont engagés ç compenser leur bilan Carbone et à minimiser au mieux les trajets en avion ...)
Les vols intérieurs c'est une autre problématique : il faut un juste compromis entre la simplicité, la facilité, de prendre un avion entre 2 points très éloignés - et utiliser des moyens de transports terrestres collectifs - qui permettent d'autant plus de cotoyer la population et assister aus scènes qui moi font mon "bonheur" de touriste en quête ...
je ne suis jamais passée par des agences et j'ai mon sac à viande pour les petites GH que je fréquente ... et j'adore grignotter sur les marchés ...
je dégrossis toujours les possibilités de déplacement et de hakte avant de partir, avec une part de changements une faois làbas en fonction des coups de coeur et des péripéties qui font aussi partie du voyage de routarde
voilà mes états d'âmes d'un dimanche matin.
Mais merci encore vivement de tes commentaires
Les choix, je vais les faire - sauf imprévus etc... là bas - et les assumer avant de partir pour profiter au mieux de ce périple.
je rebondis sur ta grande connaissance de la Birmanie :
Connais-tu Myitkyina ? A part la splendeur du voyage en bateau vers Bhama, le site mérite-il réellement de ne pas le louper dans ma problématique de profiter du Nord de Mabdalay sans trop couir (surtout après le périple de MraukU - serai en Birmanie 24 jours pleins hors voyages).
Mon idée - avec des haltes à préciser : une boucle Mandalay / bus Pyin U Lwin / Lashio / Kyaukme / Mu-se / Bhamo / descente bateau vers Katha / bateau Schewebo / bus Mandalay.
et dans ce cas, Ne pas monter juqu'à Myitkyina, à moins que cette section du fleuve ne soit vraiment celle à ne pas louper !!!
Juste pour "avouer" que mon voyage idéaliste sans avion intérieur me semble compromis.
après analyse des dvers échanges sur le forum, tuyaux et guides divers, il faudrait bien 1mois1/2 et pas 23 jours pleins sur place pour faire ce périple Yangon / Mrauk U / vers Mandalay /boucle Nord / Yangon ... et encore...
Je crois donc que je vais prendre un vol intérieur.
Ce qui m'ennuie c'est apparemment l'sbsence, après contact de compagnies, de vol Sittwe / Thandwe puis Thandwee/ Mandalay...Il faut apparement obligatoirement redesecndre sur Yangon ...
qqn a-til des infos contradictoires ??
J'espérais carrément, quitte à prendre l'avion plutôt une correspondance Thandwee / Myitkyina. Là c'est le rêve complet....!!!!
Hola a todos, Hier Je suis allé voir sur le forum Thaïlande s'il y avait des questions auxquelles répondre, mais pas grand chose, ça roupillait. J'ai ensuite…
Parmi les voyageurs présents sur ce site? Il y en a t'il qui ont fait un road trip en Birmanie récemment? Et est-ce que c'est du jour possible, est-ce toujours…
Le passage frontière terrestre Ranong/Kawthaung en Birmanie est-il toujours possible? Est-il possible d'obtenir un visa pour la Birmanie au poste-frontière et…
Attention: j'habite en Birmanie depuis plusieurs années, je parle et écris le Birman correctement (même si je garde un accent français très fort), Je ne veux…
Je recherche toutes info recentes (2024) sur l'ntrée en Birmanie depuis Ranong en Thailande, ainsi que la remontée jusqu'a Moulmien. Est ce qu'il y a des zones…
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 everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning
March 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang
March 29: Battambang
March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap
March 31: Siem Reap
April 1: Siem Reap
April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap
April 5: Departure
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. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.

21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

06/10: Komodo cruise
07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
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! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
