Bonjour,
Y a t il une raison particuliere pour retourner a Ha Noi apres Tam Coc ?
Vous pouvez rejoindre Ha Long directement en partant de Ninh Binh, sans avoir besoin de retourner a Ha Noi ====> gain de temps et d'argent.

Excellent programme !Jour 1 : Arrivée à Hô Chiming et départ en avion pour Danang puis taxi pour Hoi An Jour 2 : My son My Son est tout petit et prend à peine une demi-journée Jour 3 : Visite de la ville Hoi An
Jour 4,5,6 : Iles cham pour plongée (Cham island Diving centre) , retour à Hoi An vers 14h et direction vers Hué Prendre une voiture pour vous visiter la trés belle montagne de Marbre et passer par le col des Nuages et le village de pêcheurs de Lung Co
Jour 7 : Rivière des parfums Sans grand intérêtet ça prend du temps donc vs ne verrez pas tout le reste. Fiare l'ar^ne aux éléphants + le petit temple Voi Dé juste après, les mausolées de Minh Mang, Khai Dinh et Tu Duc (avec le belvédère Van Canh 300 m avant) plus les plus petits autour. Le mieux est de louer une moto (mais on se perd facilement car aucune indication en ville) ou une moto-taxi avec l'agence DMZ (DMZ Bar)
Jour 8 : Visite de Hué et train de nuit pour Ninh Binh Cité impériale + la pagode Thien Mu + pont couvert de Than Hoa + le marché central de Hue (ou le contraire, ça le 1er jour et les mausolées le 2e)
Jour 9 : Excursion à Tam Coc Balade en bateau (le matin avant ques groupes arrivent) , pagode Bich Dong, temple Tai vi, LE PIC DE HANG MUA (vue spectaculaire de tte la région ...après 450 marches !)
Jour 10 : Cathédrale de Phat Diem en matinée (Ca vaut le coup ? ou à supprimer et gagner 1 jour ?)et retour à Hanoi Phat Diem est très chouette mais il faut une voiture ou une moto (en faisant très attention, route étroite sur digue assez dangereuse). Préférable de passer la journée en bicyclette et d'aller à Hoa Lu par la petite route qui passe devant Hang Mua + la pagode de Bai Dinh
Jour 11 : Visite de Hanoi Jour 12 : Visite de Hanoi
Jour 13 et 14 : Baie Along (croisière 2 jours avec Handspan : agence sérieuse ?) Jamais entendu parler ! Les 2 meilleurs spécialistes de la baie sont Oriental Bridge Travel et parfum d'Automne, toutes 2 propri&étaires de joques privées
Jour 15 : Visite de Hanoi en matinée et train de nuit pour lao Cai. Cela fera en cumul 3 jours à Hanoi Je me demande si je ne peux pas supprimer 1 jour de visite sur Hanoi et n’en garder que 2 et récupérer 1 jour supplémentaire pour faire autre chose mais quoi ? Duong lam/Pagode Thai-Thay Phuong-Mia, une superbe excursion
Pour une magnifique journée d’excursions, je conseille des sites très proches de Hanoi : les pagodes Chua Thay, Chua Tay Phuong et Mia, et le village de Mong Phu, le tout dans la province de Son Tay à 35 km à l’ouest de Hanoi. Voici mes notes de voyage à leur sujet
Chua Thay (Thien Phuc)
C’est un immense complexe de pagodes au milieu d’un village entouré de rizières –nous sommes encore en plein dans le delta- dédié au Bouddha Thic Ca (Sakyamuni) et au Maître bouddhiste Tu Dao Hanh (XIIe siècle), à qui l’on prête l’invention des marionnettes sur l’eau et dont la statue se dresse à gauche (à droite, celle du roi Ly Nhan Tong, dont la légende veut qu’il soit une réincarnation du premier). Le village est d’ailleurs tellement charmant que certaines scènes du film Indochine y ont été tournées. Devant le complexe, un petit lac bordé de maisons multicolores et de terrasses de cafés –et marchands de souvenirs- avec un joli petit pagodon et deux ponts couverts en dos d’âne, l’un des 3 sites seulement où l’on peut encore en admirer au Vietnam (les 2 autres sont à Phat Diem à côté 34 km à l’est de Ninh Binh et le magnifique pont couvert de Thanh Toan à 8 km à l’est de Hué).
Au pied de la colline calcaire qui domine le village, premier ensemble de 3 belles pagodes parallèles avec une cour cour intérieure pleine de plantes, de bonsai et et de fleurs. Derrière, à l’autre bout du 2e pont couvert, un chemin mène à un long escalier ; presque au sommet du pic, un deuxième complexe tout aussi beau, dont une étonnante grotte-pagode (à droite de la petite cour intérieure, dont l’entrée est à moitié cachée par de longues racines de fromager et qui contient de multiples statuettes en bois couleur cuivre.
De l’autre côté de la porte au fond de la cour intérieure du 2e complexe, un chemin mène à une grotte où Ho Chi Minh s’est caché des français en février-mars 1947, avec le petit musée de circonstance. Il en a fait, des grottes !
Chua Tay Phuong (Sung Phuc)
10 km plus loin, un autre complexe étonnant, beaucoup plus petit : trois pagodes parallèles en haut d’un autre pic calcaire, dont la plus ancienne date du XIIIe. Magnifiques sculptures polychromes en bois du XVIIe-XVIIIe représentant « Les conditions humaines », et la statue de Quan Am, la déesse aux mille bras, exceptionnelle ne serait-ce que par le nombre de bras que le sculpteur a réussi à y tailler.
Entrée 5000 dong pour chaque pagode.
La citadelle de Son Tây
Son Tây est un grand site historique car c’est une porte d’entrée du delta du fleuve Rouge. En 1883, en trois dures batailles, les troupes françaises y ont battu les féroces Pavillons Noirs du général chinois Liu Yongfu, ce qui restait des rebelles Taï Ping passés au Nord Vietnam qu’ils pillaient allégrement (les descendants modernes de ce général ne sont autres que le fameux Deo Van Long de Lai Chau et son cousin Deo Van Anh de Phong To) ; ce qu’on appelle « la guerre franco-chinoise » car des troupes chinoises s’éraient jointes aux Pavillons noirs a tout de même duré de 1881 à 1885, avec, entre autres, la fameuse bataille du pont de papier à Cau Giai dans la banlieue ouest de Hanoi (1 mai 1883), où a été tué le commandant Henri Rivière, la bataille de Palan (1er septembre 1883) et la prise la citadelle de Son Tây en décembre 1883. Son Tây est également connu pour un raid américain de la guerre du Vietnam pour délivrer des prisonniers, resté fameux puisque le commando a réussi à y pénétrer, mais les prisonniers avaient été déménagés depuis des mois.
Située en plein milieu de la ville, la citadelle de Son Tây a été construite « à la Vauban » en 1822 sur ordre de l’empereur Ming Mang (1791-1841). Protégée par des douves de 20 m de large et d’un kilomètre huit-cent de périmètre, elle consistait en un mur d’enceinte en latérite de 4 m de haut avec une porte fortifiée aux 4 points cardinaux (Cua Tiên - porte antérieure- Cua Hâu - porte postérieure - Cua Huu - porte droite- et Cua Ta -porte gauche), des installations militaires –tour de guet de 18 m de hauteur similaire à celle de la citadelle de Hanoi, casernes, entrepôts, etc.- un palais résidence de l’empereur lors de ses visites, le palais Kinh Thiên, faisant face à la porte du même nom, et une cour de prosternation (Doan Môn).
De tout cela, il ne reste que le mur d’enceinte, maintenant environ 1 mètre de haut, 2 ponts en dos d'âne refaits à neuf (portes du Sud et du Nord), la tour de guet, et le palais de 5 pièces, mais hélas entière refait pour le 1000e anniversaire de Thang Long (Hanoi) en tant que capitale du pays. Le site a été classé « Vestige historique » en 1924 par le gouverneur français et en 1984 par le gouvernement vietnamien. Un petit crochet bien intéressant sur la route de Duong Lam.
Le village tri-centenaire de Mong Phu (district de Duong Lam)
Ce village en plein milieu des rizières est célèbre pour avoir une dizaine de maisons appartenant à la même famille depuis plus de 300 ans. On peut en visiter quelques unes et même y déjeuner. On peut également louer une bicyclette et se balader dans la belle campagne environnante. Entrée du village : 20 000 dongs.
La pagode Mia (Duong Lam)
Extraordinaire ! Située sur la place du marché du petit village de Duong Lam, elle a été bâtie sous la dynastie des Trân (1225-1400), puis reconstruite en 1632. Elle est surtout célèbre pour contenir 287 statues, dont la plus belle collection au Vietnam de statues en terre cuite (174 au total). Celle de madame Thi Kinh (au fond de la pagode à droite), d’une très grande finesse, est considérée à juste titre comme un chef-d'œuvre.
Les tombeaux de 2 rois nés à Duong Lam
A quelques kilomètres de Duong Lam, 2 tombeaux de rois nés à Duong Lam, Phung Hung (761-802), roi de 791 à 799 et qui conduisit une révolte contre l’occupant chinois de la dynastie des Tang) et Ngo Quyen (897-944), roi de 939 à 944, un des plus célèbres rois du Vietnam puisque c’est lui qui vainquit les chinois à la fameuse bataille de la rivière Bach Dang (938) en faisant planter des pieux dans la rivière sur lesquels les jonques de l’envahisseur chinois se sont toutes empalées.
Pas de bus publics pour aller à ces 4 sites. Donc, c’est la voiture avec chauffeur.
Jour 16 : prise en charge par Nomad trails :agence sérieuse ?) pour un circuit de 7 jours Agence TRES serieuse, avec le suisse Cédric (Sapatrek), un trekkeur d'enfer qui connait la région comme ça poche. vous allez vs régaler (et attention à l'alcool de riz chez mon ami Duy Tho à Pac Ngoi/Babe !)!
Jour 23: Hanoi vers France
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
Baie Along (croisière 2 jours avec Handspan : agence sérieuse ?)
Tres bonne agence, tres serieuse. Situee dans la vieille ville ru Ma May.
Si vous le souhaitez je peux vous donner l email de mon ami qui y travaille. Il est Francais et pourra vous organiser facilement cette excursion.
Les 2 meilleurs spécialistes de la baie sont Oriental Bridge Travel et parfum d'Automne
Ca n engage que celui qui le dit. Mais sincerement je ne le pense pas du tout.

Bonsoir,
je vous remercie pour votre réponse.
En fait vous avez raison, il vaut mieux que j'aille directement de Ninh Binh à Along.
Je retournai à Hanoi car les agences font le départ pour la croisière dans la baie d'along à partir de Hanoi. Mais c'est bien me compliquer les choses. Au fait avez vous une agence sérieuse à me conseiller pour faire la croisière de 2 jours ou 3j?
Merci beaucoup et bonne soirée

Je ne connais pas l'île de Cham mais as-tu envisagé de descendre jusqu'à Nha Trang ? Si tu es plongeur, les 500 km valent le détour je pense.
Avec un club comme Angel Dive, tu pars tôt le matin, tu plonges deux fois et tu déjeunes au resto en rentrant.
L'après midi en trois jours, tu peux faire quelques trucs sympas après la plongée (ruines cham, immense boudha blanc, bains de boue...)
les fonds sont très corrects, les sites assez variés et malgré la pêche à la dynamite et le rechauffement climatique, il y a quand même des coraux sublimes que tu ne trouveras probablement sur Cham. (nha trang est généralement unanimement cité comme le meilleur endroit du VN pour la plongée)
bon voyage

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!

Bonjour à tous
Je me permet de partager cet article de blog qui, à mes yeux, pose un diagnostic d'une modernité absolue sur Hué qui n’est pas vue comme une relique mais comme une reine du style.

Cet article m'a définitivement donner envie de retourner redécouvrir cette ville chère à mon coeur. Celle de ma grand-mère maternelle.

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.
Hey everyone,
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.
Thanks! 🙂

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...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

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?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

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.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

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. Is it possible to take the train from Malacca to Ipoh? Thanks for your feedback.
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!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
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).
Thanks!

hi
I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.

Hi there,
I’m spending 4 days in Kuala Lumpur.
Could you let me know what’s absolutely worth visiting and what’s not really worth the effort?
Any suggested itinerary?
Apart from Batu Caves, I don’t have many ideas...
I’m traveling with my partner and our 16-year-old son.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

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!
Hi there,
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. ;-)

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! :-)
Hi there
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?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!

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
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

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.

🙂 Hi everyone!
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.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️

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! !
Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)
