Salut, nous sommes un couple avec deux enfants de 7 et 4 ans 1/2 . Nous préparons un voyage en malaisie pour l'ete 2007, nous en sommes à l'évaluation du budget . Notre parcours va etre a peut près : KL, Malacca, Kota Bharu, les perhenthians, Kapas, K Terranganu, le lac cini, tioman, Singapour ( pas longtemps ) puis le sarawak et sabah ( je pense 1 mois la-bas ) . Nous avons pensé à un budget de 20 euros / jour pour le logement, nous aimons les endroits simples sans AC mais propres ( bon, il ne doit pas y avoir beaucoups de monde qui dit aimer les endroits sales ... ) Et 20 euros aussi / jour pour la nourriture . Ceux qui y sont allés rescemment pourrait nous renseigner ? Merci beaucoups . A plus .
20 euros pour le dodo, , c'estt possible, , mais 20 euros pour 4 personnes pour me miam miam ??, , cela fait 5 euros par personnes, , tes enfant n'auront pas trop de glaces a sucer,

pour les glaces oui, , ne pas croire que partout c'est pas cher, , il faut toujours prévoir les endroits chers, , puis peut etre que la nourriture locale ne vous plais pas ?? 😉

Nous avons mangés pour environ 15 euros par jour les 3 repas pour 4. Cela reste bien entendu des plats locaux: un riz, des légumes ou des pâtes cuisinées avec un jus de fruit frais coûte en moyenne 6 ou 7 RM sur les marchés ou gargottes.
Pour un hôtel compte un peu plus, je dirais plus dans les 30 euros. On trouve bien sûr moins cher, en GH. Il faut alors compter en moyenne le lit + le p'tit déj 15 à 20 RM par personne.

Salut, qu'entends tu par GH ? Tu me rassures au niveau du budget nourriture, 40 euros ça me parraissait beaucoups pour un pays asiatique . Et avec les enfants, jamais de problème de digestion dans les gargottes ?( quoique, j'ai entendus que la malaisie était un pays très sain au niveau higiène ) . A plus .
Gh ou guest house, ce sont des maisons d'hôtes qui te propose un lit en chambre ou en dortoir.
Jamais de souci..je touche du bois. Bien s'hydrater, là est la priorité.
Les prix que je t'indique c'est en mangeant dans les marchés, dans des kopis(restos tenu par des chinois ou malais) c'est un poil plus cher. Je dirais 3 ou 4 RM de plus par personne.
Mes gamins adorent manger pour le petit déj des roti canai, c'est une sorte de galette de pain fourrée à ce que tu veux...

Une GH, cela peut aller de la maison qui a installée 3-4 chambres au petit hôtel.
En Thaïlande, il y a une différence fiscale entre hôtel et GH, en Malaisie je ne sais pas.
En Malaisie, notre budget avait été d'environ 80 euros par jour à 4 (donc deux chambres chaque nuit), tout compris, transports, repas, achats divers, etc ...
Nous avons trouvé la Malaisie à peine plus chère que la Thaïlande.
OK, super . Peux-tu me dire, si tu les as fais et si tu te rapelles à combien peuvent revenir des extras du style : excursion sur la rivière kinabatangan, quelques jours à sepilok ( j'ai eu quelques echos négatifs sur ce centre ) et l 'excursion sur sipadan ? J'en suis à la partie la moins agréable de la préparation du voyage : le calcul du budget 🏴☠️ . Merci . A plus .
Détrompe-toi, ce n'est pas toujours évident de trouver une "family room".
Et puis, nos enfants sont plus âgés que les votres (normal, les parents aussi) et nous aimons notre intimité.
Dès que tu restes plusieurs nuits, tu peux négocier quand tu prends 2 chambres.
ouch🏴☠️ faut que je recherche dans mes notes...et elles sont dans un carton dans ma cave..;mais promis je te réponds précisément ce week end.
Kinabatangan c'est assez cher faut compter je crois 100 euros environ la journée à 4 tout compris.
Sipadan revient environ le même prix par jour à partir de Semporna pour 4, c'est pas excessif compte tenu de l'extraordinaire qu'elle dégage.
Sepilok est un endroit touristique c'est sûr. Mais c'est aussi un rare centre de réhabilitation dans le monde à faire un effort de réadaptation des orangs outans dans leur milieu naturel...et ça je crois que cela vaut le détour. Nous en tout cas, avons passé une très agréable journée.
Je te confirme tout ça...

Avec les miens on a trouvé la solution pour le porte monnaie, on loue une seule chambre, mais pas pour le dos : Loick et moi dormons par terre ! 🏴☠️
On est galant....😉

Il faudra de toute façon qu'on trouve à chaque fois une chambre pour 4 ( je ne me vois pas mettre mes petits bouts dans une autre chambre ) on se debrouillera ...
Salut, Est ce que tu penses que ça vaut le coup d'emporter un matelas pneumatique style autogonflant ( je ne sais pas si il y en a qui prenne un minimum de place ), parce que dormir dans 2 chambres differentes ce n'est pas possible ; et dormir directement par terre ; bonjour le dos !
Kinabatangan revient à 70 euros par personne pour 2 nuits/ 30 jours sit tu passes par une agence autre que l'Uncle Tan, en passant par ce dernier tu divises le prix presque par 2...
Sipadan : 110 RM par personne la journée snorkeling + 40 RM de taxe.( déjeuner compris).
Désolé pour le retard...

Merci beaucoups pour tes informations, c'est royal. Purée, je galère pour les perhentians ; les avis sont trop partagés, le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'elles ne font pas l'unanimité! Merci encore et à plus .
Elles ne font pas l'unanimité c'est vrai. J' y avais ajouté mon bémol l'an passé, mais beaucoup de voyageurs les apprécie aussi, comme quoi on peut tous faire le même voyage sans percevoir les mêmes choses.
bonnes recherches😉

J' y suis allé il y a maintenant une dizaine d'année également en famille avec deux enfants du même âge que les vôtres. Donc pour les prix ça a du bien changer, mais je pense que ça doit rester relativement bon marché. A l'époque, c'étatit très facile de se loger à bas prix dans les guest houses (10 FF la chambre), toujours très propres et à mon avis mieux que les hôtels, car dès que la chambre est avec une salle de bain, il y a des chances d'avoir des cafards. Pour manger, le meilleur et le meilleur marché restent bien entendu les échoppes dans les rues et également les marchés du soir comme à Kota Baru (le poulet y est toujours excellent). Le réseau routier est très développé et les bus nombreux et comfortables et à l'époque très économiques. Le train du centre vaut vraiment le coup, en discutant avec le chauffeur du train, nous avions pu faire une partie du trajet avec lui dans sa cabine (les enfants ça ouvre souvent des portes). J'y suis allé en décembre-Janvier, à l'époque de la mousson sur la côte Est, mais cette année là, la mousson était très faible et nous avions tout de même pu aller aux Pérenthians, nous n'étions qu'une dizaine de touristes . Je présume qu' en haute saison, il doit être plus difficile de se prendre pour des Robinsons. déjà à l'époque, il y avait des projets hôteliers, j'espère qu'ils n'ont pas trop saccagé le site car il y avait déjà des zones coralliennes mortes.
En revanche, je me demande quel est le climat en été, mais à mon avis, la chaleur risque d'être accablante.
Pour info, j'avais été très déçu par les Langkawi, trop de développement touristique.
Le centre est la seule zone continentale ou il restait de la forêt primaire, la Malaisie a détruit la plus grande partie de sa forêt, surtout à Bornéo, pour planter des palmiers pour l'huile, sans se soucier des désastres économiques et humains et ne s'est hélas jamais souciée des demandes internationales pour protéger son patrimoine forestier.

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 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang

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.

22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo

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!
