Au travers de cet article nous souhaitons répondre à certaines questions qui sont fréquemment posées sur ce forum afin de faciliter votre voyage.
C'est infos sont totalement personnelles bien sur et suivant notre expérience !
- Le taux de change au 25 février était de 900 Kyats pour 1 dollar au marché de Yangon. Eviter de changer tout votre argent a votre hôtel en arrivant car le taux est souvent inferieur de 50 Kyats. Allez au marché de Yangon vous serez abordés par les changeurs. Faites en 3 ou 4 et vous serez vite fixés sur le taux qui varie rapidement. 3 semaines avant le taux était de 850 kyats pour 1 dollar. Il possible de changer des Euros à Yangon, ailleurs je ne sais pas.
Il est possible de changer à peu prés partout dans les villes touristiques mais le change est moins intéressant. Petits conseils si vous vous apercevez que vous avez trop changé comme ce fut le cas pour nous. Au lieu de rechanger à Yangon, nous avons changé à des petits vendeurs de Mandalay (Amarapura). Certains touristes les payent en dollars et eux préfères des Kyats. Demandez leur s ils ont des dollars. Nous avons changé nos Kyats pour une valeur de 80 $ à un taux de 800 kyats pour 1$ au lieu de 920 à Yangon. Les vendeurs étaient contant et nous aussi.
- si on vous donne des billets (Kyat) complètements pourries ne les refusez pas, aucun problème pour payer avec en Birmanie.
- Les dollars : on nous dit qu’il faut toujours des billets neuf. Pour changer oui c est mieux le taux et plus fort mais on vous prendra quand même vos billet qui ne sont pas neuf sauf si la face est abimée ou que le billet est très froissé (on a posé la question aux changeurs de Yangon).Pour un taux intéressant mieux vaut des billets de 100 $ Par contre pour les hôtels beaucoup moins de problèmes, ils sont moins regardant quand vous payez votre chambre. J ai refilé un billet vraiment pourri pour essayé et on me l'a prit. Du moment que vos billets sont propres et pas effacés vous pourrez payer les hôtels sans problème.
- les ordis, les téléphones, appareils photos, gros objectifs.... aucun problème à l'arrivé a la douane, on vous demandera rien et on ne fouillera pas. On a vu des personnes avec des objectifs de 40 cm !!!!
Nous avions un ordi, un téléphone, un reflex plus objectif et on nous a rien confisqué !
- Internet il y a des accès internet partout ou vont les touristes. Yangon, Pyay, Bagan, Mandalay, lac inlé, malamyne. Le prix varie de 300 à 1000 Kyat l heure.
Par contre il vaut mieux se créer une boite Gmail car Hotmail et Yahoo étaient rarement accessibles. Skype et facebook était accessibles partout. Nous avions accès à toutes les infos. Nous savions ce qu’il se passait en Lybie ou en Nouvelle Zélande des fois les sites étaient sencurés mais rarement. Par contre impossible d accéder à tous les blogs .La vitesse et cependant lente.
- Les transports : nous avons fait l erreur d allé à Pyay. Il nous a été impossible de repartir pour Magwe car aucunes compagnies de bus ne prenaient d étranger. Nous avons donc du partir pour Bagan en payant le prix fort, soit Yangon Bagan alors que nous étions à mi chemin. Mieux vaut se renseigner avant d aller dans des coins un peu isolés.
- Le cout des hôtels petit dej inclus pour 2 payé partout en dollars (sauf à Bago et Inlé) :
Yangon: white house 14 $ petit dej a volonté
Bagan : Edem hotel 12$
Mandalay : Royal guest house 10$ mieux vaut réserver 2 jours avant (pour nous la mieux et la plus propre de Mandalay)
Lac inlé : Four sisters 12$ un petit dej à tomber par terre mais le coté business de l une des sœurs nous a déçus.
Bago: San Francisco hotel 10$ pas super mais on Fait avec
Malamyne: Breez rest house 12$
Le cout des repas :
Chicken currys environ 1200 à 2000 Kyats
L eau 250 à 400 Kyats
- En partant 10$ de taxe d’aéroport à payer en dollars
- Pour rejoindre le centre ville depuis l aéroport soit un taxi 8$ soit en bus mais dans ce cas il vous faudra changer un peu à l aéroport. Compter 200 kyats par personne. Soit pour deux en changeant à l aéroport 1 $ c est suffisant.
A la sortie de l aéroport prendre la route sur la droite marché environ 20 minutes. Arrivé sur la route principale vous devrez prendre les bus qui vont vers la gauche. Faites leur signe et monter dans celui qui va a la paya sule. Les hôtels se trouvent à 3 minutes à la ronde.
- Pour rejoindre la station de bus depuis le centre de Yangon prendre le bus à coté de la Paya sule. Cout 200 Kyat durée Environ 40 minutes.
La white guest house à Yangon peut vous indiquer tout les numéros de bus (pour l aéroport, la station de bus) et surtout tout est écrit en birman. A savoir que les chiffres birman ne sont pas les mêmes que les nôtres. Montrez toujours au chauffeur le nom du lieu ou vous voulez aller en écriture Birmane n est pas du luxe !
Dernier petit point. En aucun cas nous nous sommes sentis en danger ou en insécurité. Nous avons était contrôlé à plusieurs check point mais jamais de problème.
Certain Birmans nous ont cependant parlé de la réalité du pays et ça c était plus dur à entendre. Ils l ont toujours fait de manière intelligente, de leur propre gré et sans se mettre en danger. Même si pour nous touristes il n y a rien à craindre la réalité est tout autre pour les Birmans.
Voila les petits conseils que nous pouvons vous donner. Nous vous rapportons uniquement notre expérience réelle et nous espérons que vous passerez un super séjour dans ce magnifique pays.
merci beaucoup je pars la semaine prochaine vos infos me seront tres utiles vous ne parlez pas du telephone portable on ne peut pas appeler la france avec ?
En effet pas de réseau en ce qui concerne les portables etrangers. Concernant l'achat de carte nous ne savons pas mais comme le dit Rangoon ca n existe certainement plus.
Si ca avait existé on nous en aurait probablement proposé.
Bonsoir,
Merci pour ces infos qui nous permettent de finaliser notre départ dans 10 jours.🙂
Une petite question sur l'utilisation de l'argent :
Quelles sont les dépenses que vous avez payées en USD (bus, hotels, resto, ...) et en Kyats (resto, internet, ...) ?
Cela nous permettra d'évaluer, plus ou moins, le change à faire.
Merci beaucoup.
Pour les dépenses, nous avons payé tous les hotels sauf à Bago en dollars idem pour le taxi aeroport centre ville à yangon et quelques fois les taxis (a yangon) et toutes les entrées ( bagan, pagodes diverses, lac inlé, golden rock....) Sinon les bus, la nourriture, les souvenirs et autres dépenses quotidiennes se paient en Kyats.
Pour 3 semaines nous avons changé 600$ en Kyats et dépensé 250$ de plus.

Bon voyage !
600$ en kyats mais ont fait quoi avec si quazi tout se paie en dollards?
routard ou backpacker ok mais pas de voyage a n'importe quel prix
Comme je l avais précisé sur mon post, je parle de mon expérience !
Moi j ai jamais pu payer un bus , un repas , une bouteille d'eau, les locations de vélo, les pick up en dollars, soit la majorité des dépenses quotidiennes. En voyageant à deux on arrive vite à dépenser entre 500 et 600 $ en 3 semaines.
Un trajet Yangon Inlé coute déja 15000 Kyats chacun soit pres de 18$
on a fait 6 trajets similaires soit pour deux 180000 Kyats rien qu en transport (grande distance ) 210$
C'est sur que si l on reste dans des endroits chics on peut certainement payer en $ je ne sais pas .
merci des précision, il est vrai que vous étes 2 et que seule les chambres permettent de diminuer la moyenne pour ma part je part lundi7/3 et je vais essayer de dépenser le moin possible car j'ai un budget serré c'est pour cela que j'aime ce genre d'infos j'ai pris note d'ailleur du nom et du prix des hotels que tu indique meri encore

routard ou backpacker ok mais pas de voyage a n'importe quel prix
J ai pas souvenir si nous étions a l 'edem hotel ou a l'edem hotel 2. les deux sont a coté, du moins face a face! Nous etions en face de celui qui sert le petit dej. Que l on reste a l un ou l autre le petit dej se prend dans un seul.
Pour ce prix tu as le petit dej et l eau chaude, c'est tout !!!
Rien d'extraordinaire si ce n est le prix. Il se situe a Nyaung U soit a environ 3 km des temples.

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

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.

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!
