Bonjour,
Je pars au Vietnam fin Aout/début Septembre pour une durée de 17 jour. J’ai déjà mes billets d’avion (aller pour Hanoi, retour à partir de Ho Chi Minh Ville)
Il me reste maintenant à préparer le reste du voyage
J’ai fait appel à une agence locale et elle m’a proposé le circuit classique (je pense) ci-dessous :
Jour1 Hanoi
Jour 2 Hanoi
Jour 3 Lao Cai - Bac Ha
Jour 4 Bac Ha - Sapa
Jour 5 Sapa - Hanoi.
Jour 6 Hanoi - Baie d’Halong Croisière
Jour 7 Baie d’Halong Croisière
Jour 8 Hanoi - Ninh Binh Tam Coc
Jour 9 Ninh Binh - Hue
Jour 10 Hue
Jour 11 Hue - Hoi An
Jour 12 Hoi An & sa campagne
Jour 13 Hoi An
Jour 14 Hoi An - Ho Chi Minh
Jour 15 Ho Chi Minh - Delta du Mékong
Jour 16 Delta du Mékong - Ho Chi Minh
Jour 17 Ho Chi
Avec 3 nuits chez l’habitant, 10 nuits d’hôtel, 1 nuit sur une jonque et 2 nuits en train couchette.
Dans le programme proposé, il y a 2 vols internes.
Le prix pour ce circuit (hors vols pour arriver au Vietnam) est à 1340$
Que pensez vous de ce programme et que pensez vous de ce prix ?
Une course effrénée, surtout dans le Nord, mais comme vs avez déjà acheté votre biller de retour au départ de Saigon... Je sucrerais la baie d'Along terrestre (Ninh Binh) pour passer 2 jours de plus dans les superbes montagnes et ses minorités, 1j Sapa et 1j Bac Ha

Bonjour,
Merci pour le conseil, je vais voir pour ce changement.
Et niveau tarif, ça vous parait un prix raisonnable ?
J'hésite à préparer mon voyage sans faire appel à une agence
Difficle à dire, mlasi évidemment moins cher (vs économisez déjà le guide, ses logemenst et repas)). Compter environ 20$ pour hotels (15 inluant pt déj et diner en maisons d'hotes), 6-10$ repas, les ttransports en bus et trains (pas cher ; le bus ou train Hanoi-Sapa est 35$), 100-120$ avions. Je diras 800-900$
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
Organiser 2 jours pour aller à la baie d'halong (avec nuit à bord)
Et 2 ou 3 jours au nord du pays.
Ça se fait facilement depuis Hanoï ? J'ai vu que certains hôtels proposaient ces excursions.
J'hésite tjs à ne rien réserver à l'avance et choisir une fois sur place. Et j'ai l'impression que niveau prix, ce sera plus intéressant.
Surtout pas par les hotels ; ce n'est pas leur métier et leurs employés ne connaissent pas le Nord, juste Hanoi. Allez dans une bonne agence pour Along et, pour 2-3 j dans les montagnes, aller à Sapa en bus Express SapaExpress, 1er jour visite Spa et balade autour (ca, 2 j trekking, retour par mm bus le 3e j
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
Je m'aperçois que la fin de mon message est tronqué. je voulais dire, le jour d'arrivée à Sapa, déjeuner puis visite de du bourg et de la cascade de Cat Cat ou téléférique pour le sommet du Fan Si Pan si aps ds les nuages, et Jours 2/3, trekking avec agence de Sapa Nomad Trails ou chez mon ami Olivier
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
Sa femme dao ou une copine sert de guide et vs dinez et dormez chez lui en pleine montagne à 45 mn de marche de Ta Phin. Maison très simple, mais on se régale et authenticité garantie (2 maisons à coét dans la fdorert et aucun touriste autour
65$ pp tout compris
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
Bonjour
Je viens vers vous afin d'avoir quelques conseils concernant le projet d'un voyage au Vietnam.
Se sera notre premier voyage au Vietnam et voudrions avoir un aperçu du pays.
Nous aimerions le faire en individuel, pas en groupe.
- Quel est le meilleur itinéraire conseillé
- Sur une période de 15 jours a t-on déjà une bonne idée du pays
- Voir les sites et villes les plus importants du Vietnam
- Programmer un voyage qui passe dans les 3 secteurs : Nord, centre, Sud, différents sur le plan géographique, historique, culturel
- Tenir compte du climat et des saisons
- La meilleure période
- Faut-il un chauffeur, un guide ?
- Visa
Connaissez vous une agence locale pour nous programmer un circuit au départ de Marseille ou Paris
J'ai déjà une petite ébauche:
Hanoi, Hoa Binh, pays Thai (village Muons de Giang Mo), baie d'Halong terrestre (Ninh Binh), baie d'halong (jonque privée), Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon, Cai Be
Bonsoir la provence .
Je te conseille l'agence locale La Palenche voyages .Je suis parti avec eux , ils te font un circuit en fonction de tes désirs et te fournissent un chauffeur guide . Aucun problèmes .Croisière baie d'Halong sur jonque privée .
Tu as beaucoup de liberté et tu peux t’arrêter ou tu veux voire modifier légèrement ton circuit pour voir des choses .
Vu le peux de temps que tu as un chauffeur me semble indispensable pour ne pas perdre de temps .
Connaissez vous une agence locale pour nous programmer un circuit au départ de Marseille ou Paris
Les agences locales ne vous prendrons pas en charge depuis la France vous devrez vous charger de l'achat de vos billets.
Les agences françaises qui proposent des circuits depuis la France s'acquitterons du transfert (vol) puis feront elles aussi appel à une agence locale vietnamienne (qui élaborera le circuit) tout en prenant au passage une large commission.
Si vous ne voulez pas démarcher les vols sur les sites internet vous pouvez cependant vous adresser à certaines agences françaises juste pour ce service et contacter une agence locale au Vietnam pour votre voyage.
- Quel est le meilleur itinéraire conseillé
Celui qui vous est proposé va du sud au nord et comprend les principaux points de visite pour une globalité, il est bien sur perfectible...
- Sur une période de 15 jours a t-on déjà une bonne idée du pays
Non, le Vietnam est si grand du nord au sud que pour s'en faire une bonne idée il faut y consacrer plus de temps mais 15 jours mais c'est déjà une approche
- Voir les sites et villes les plus importants du Vietnam
- Programmer un voyage qui passe dans les 3 secteurs : Nord, centre, Sud, différents sur le plan géographique, historique, culturel
- Tenir compte du climat et des saisons
- La meilleure période
Pour une constance climatique du sud au nord les mois de avril - mai seront les meilleurs.
Quand le sud est sous le soleil en décembre janvier février par exemple, le nord en opposition est sous la pluie et le froid et inversement pour juin juillet Août....
- Faut-il un chauffeur, un guide ?
Pas forcement mais vous n'aurez sans doute pas assez de temps en 15 jours pour organiser par vous même les hébergements, les transferts et surtout si vous ne parlez pas la langue..entrer en contact avec la population ou vous organiser pour les visites culturelles.
- Visa
4 options,
L'exemption de visa si vous ne restez que 15 jours (pas un de plus) sur le sol vietnamien
le visa pris en France via l’Ambassade...très cher
Le visa à l'arrivée en passant par une agence locale gratuit pour la démarche et 25$ de visa si vous prenez un circuit avec l'agence, payant si vous ne prenez pas de circuit (entre 8$ et 20$ en fonction des agences) et 25$ de visa
Le E visa, visa électronique via internet, ne coûte que le prix du visa 25$
J'ai déjà une petite ébauche:
Hanoi, Hoa Binh, pays Thai (village Muong de Giang Mo) belle idée!
, baie d'Halong terrestre (Ninh Binh), baie d'halong (jonque privée), Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon, Cai Be proche de Saigon mais pas le must, je préfère Can Tho

Bonjour,
J'ai envoyé un mail sur l'adresse tsen-ang@hotmail.com

Merci beaucoup
Merci pour votre réponse si rapide et pour tous ces renseignements;
Je vais contacter les agences locales que vous me conseillez et essayer d’établir un circuit qui tienne la route.
En ce qui concerne les hôtels par rapport à mon itinéraire, avez vous quelques noms à me suggérer.

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.
20/09: Flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, arrive around noon, afternoon/evening and overnight in Yogyakarta.
21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen
26/09: Travel to Bali, overnight in Pemuteran
27/09: Excursion to Pulau Melujan, overnight in Pemuteran
28/09: Travel to Munduk, overnight in Munduk
29/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk
30/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk

02/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
03/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
04/10: Travel to Denpasar, flight to Labuan Bajo, overnight in Labuan Bajo
05/10: Komodo cruise
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!
