Bonjour, je remercie tous les forumistes qui m'ont aidé à préparer ce fabuleux voyage, je ne cite pas de noms car je risquerai d'en oublier ....Tout s'est très bien passé que ce soit à Bornéo où à Bali il n'y a pas eu une seule fausse note pour un premier essai j'en suis ravie, merci à tous.... A bornéo nous avons passé les 2 premières nuits au "permai rainforest" (maisons dans les arbes) un véritable paradis sur terre...nous avions un beau chalet à 8 mètres de haut avec en face la mer et à l'arrière la jungle, le matin on pouvait voir des écureuils et des singes de la terrasse..Au fond du camp il y avait une superbe plage déserte rien que pour nous trois.....Du "permai" nous sommes allés à pieds au Sarawak village que nous avons apprécié et nous avons vu un beau spectacle de danses... Nous sommes retournés à kuching à l'harbour view belle chambre avec vue superbe sur la rivière...Nous avons passé 3 nuits à Bako et j'ai été agréablement surprise par les chalets qui n'étaient pas si mal que ça, pour la nourriture c'est autre chose....Nous avons eu la chance de voir à notre arrivée une dizaine de nasiques dans la mangrove dont le grand mâle. Pendant le trajet en bateau nous avons aussi aperçu un corcodile.... A Bako les promenades étaient géniales un peu fatiguantes quand même avec la chaleur et l'humidité... nous avons vu tous les jours une multitude de nasiques macaques langurs écureuils et aussi un serpent et un varan. A Semmengoh nous avons eu la chance de voir sa seigneurie "Ritchie" le mâle dominant des orangs outans et je dois dire que c'était très très impréssionnant on avait l'impression de voir king kong, on a vu aussi 5 autres orangs mais plus petits....Kuching est une ville super agréable et les malais vraiment charmants. Sur le water front nous avons aussi vu de très près le roi et la reine de Malaisie qui faisaient une promenade sur la rivière....Après Bornéo..... Bali on avait l'impression de retourner une deuxième fois en vacances....A Bali notre chauffeur que j'avais contacté avant le départ nous attendait à l'aéroport, nous avons passé nos 2 premières nuits à jimbaran au Sari ségara (très bel hôtel) et ensuite nous sommes allés à Ubud. J'avais une liste d'hôtels et il m'a fallu un certain temps pour tomber sur le bon qui avait 2 chambres libres et pour queques nuits car je n'avais rien réservé à l'avance...Nous nous sommes installés à la "Villa Sonia" un petit paradis (très bien négocié....) l'hôtel plaisait tellement à mon mari et ma fille que nous ne sommes pas allés à Amed et nous y sommes restés 5 nuits. Nous avons visité Uluwatu, Thana lot, Besatik le lac Batur les rizières.....Pour la dernière nuit nous sommes retournés à jimbaran où nous avons mangé un délicieux repas de crustacés sur la plage.....Et voilà tout est terminé les 3 semaines sont passées très vite et le retour est assez difficile surtout avec la température qu'il fait en ce momment!!!!! Encore merci à tous pour votre aide et vos conseils... Amitiés

Bravo Hanaé ! tout simplement...
😛quelques petites photos peut-etre ?
😉 super tu as vu Ritchie le king !... trop incroyable lui....j'ai halluciné et j'ai surtout couru très vite quand il est desecendu de l'arbre à 3 mètres de moi et qu'il a emprunté le sentier en venant vers moi !
contente que tout se soit bien passé, c'est encore un coin de paradis là bas !
la reprise doit pas être drôle ... ça fait aussi partie du voyage 😏 (vieux proverbe qui pourrait être chinois mais qui ne l'est pas, juste pour te faire sourire un peu ! amitiés 🙂

😎 bonjour hanaé,
je viens de lire ton récit de retour de voyage, tu sembles tellement heureuse de ce que tu as vécu, j'ai hâte d'y être. Avec mon époux, nous y serons un mois mai/juin 2008, c'est encore bien loin mais je m'y prépare activement. (lol) je me suis permise de prendre note des hôtels que tu as choisi à JIMBARAN et à UBUD, peux-tu nous donner les prix ?. De plus, pourquoi as-tu décidé de passer 2 nuits à JIMBARAN au lieu d'aller directement à UBUD ? as-tu vu des choses à faire sympas du côté de JIMBARAN, ? Et dernière question, tu as dit que tu avais réservé un chauffeur à l'avance ? Comment as-tu pris contact avec lui, depuis où ? et était-il guide ? Comment cela se passait avec lui tout au long de votre parcours, vous suivait -il partout ? Merci pour ta réponse, Bon courage à toi pour la reprise au boulot après un si beau voyage Ginoux😉

Bonjour Kwetou, je dois dire que la vue de "Ritchie" restera aussi notre souvenir le plus impressionnant et bien sûr nous avons fait comme toi et l'avons suivi quand il a traversé le tronc d'arbre....Ensuite quand tout le monde est parti nous sommes restés l'attendre et l'avons encore vu de tout près mais nous n'étions plus que nous deux!!!! Tout le voyage s'est déroulé à merveille et c'était génial!!!!Nous aimerions beaucoup retourner à Bornéo mais cette fois ci en faisant aussi le Sabah. Amitiés
hanaé
Bonjour Gisal il n'y a malheureusement pas de vol direct Bali bornéo(ça nous aurait bien arrangé) il faut passer par Kuala lumpur!!!! nous avions réservé par asia air plusieurs mois à l'avance, le vol kuala kuching (Bornéo)revenait à 45 euros aller retour, et le vol Kuala Bali à 98 euros aller retour...Asia air n'est pas sur liste noire! Amitiés
hanaé
Bonsoir Hanaé,
Merci infiniment d' avoir répondu à mon post, et je pense que je verai sur place pour AIRASIA car au mois de janvier y a pas le feu et sûrement très calme.
nous aussi nous avaons reservé à JIMBARAN la 1ere nuit et ensuite 3 nuits à UBUD ensuite se sera l' aventure !!! avec prévu 5 jours à KOMODO AVEC PERAMA observé les varans faire un tour sur les GILI...mais notre objectif le plus important c' est d' aller 5 jours a BORNEO - KALIMANTAN pour observer les Orangs-Outans !
voilà en gros notre séjour et si vous avez d' autres infos je suis preneuse
Merci encore
Gisal.
Bonjour Ginoux, j'ai décidé de passer 2 jours à jimbaran pour avoir un peu de repos apès la jungle et la chaleur de Bornéo... Jimbaran c'est une jolie plage mais c'est vrai qu'il n'y a pas grand chose à voir mais à côté il y a Uluwatu et Thana lot..Pour le Sari ségara on a payé 60 dollars pour une villa pour 3 personnes face à la piscine avec une immense chambre et un très gand salon....A la villa sonia j'ai payé 35 euros la suite (au lieu de 85 euros sur leur site) et notre fille avait une grande chambre à l'étage pour 25 euros... j'avais trouvé un chauffeur depuis quelques temps grâce à un forumiste (autre forum) si tu veux je pourrai te donner son adresse e mail...Il est donc venu nous chercher à l'aéroport le dimanche vers 14h et nous a accompagné pendant la recherche d'un hôtel à Jimbaran (je n'avais rien réservé à l'avance) quand nous avons trouvé l'hôtel nous nous sommes installés et il est revenu nous chercher vers 17h30 pour nous acommpagner à Uluwatu. Le mardi il est venu nous chercher à l'hôtel vers midi et nous sommes allés à Ubud en passant à kuta faire un tour sur la plage et aussi quelques achats. En chemin nous nous sommes arrêtés aussi dans un parc avec une multitude d'oiseaux! il nous a encore accompagné dans notre recherche d'hôtel (j'en ai visité une dizaine)...ensuite nous lui téléphonions quand nous voulions le prendre pour la journée et faire les visites....je tiens à préciser quand même qu'il ne parle pas français et que c'est un chauffeur de taxi pas un guide mais ça revient au même car il connait très bien son île! tout s'est très bien passé en sa compagnie! Amitiés

😎 bonjour hanaé,
merci pour ta réponse, effectivement cela peut être sympa d'abord de s'arrêter à JIMBARAN une ou deux nuits pour faire toute la pointe sud, notamment ULUWATU, puis tanah lot ainsi après depuis UBUD, cela permet de sillonner tranquillement dans tout le reste de l'île. Je te remercie donc pour les infos, c'est bien gentil. En tout cas, c'est encore loin mais j'ai hâte d'y être. A bientôt. Amicalement. Geneviève😉

Bonjour Gisal, il me semble que tu devrais réserver tes vols par asia air le plus tôt possible, car plus la date approche plus les prix grimpent! j'avais heureusement réservé assez tôt les vols kuala lumpur Bali car au momment du départ le prix avait doublé!!!Et c'était la deuxième quinzaine de septembre donc pas non plus en haute saison!!!Amitiés

Hi there,
I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling. For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees? We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo. Thanks for your tips and help!

Hi everyone,
Could you share your thoughts on my 3-week itinerary?
We’re a small group (family + friends) of 12 people, planning to leave around January 21, 2027.
Here’s my itinerary:
3 nights in Bangkok
4 nights in Chiang Mai
3 nights on Koh Samui
3 nights on Koh Phangan
4 nights in Krabi
4 nights in Phuket
I’m also open to any great tips you might have...
Thanks, everyone! Alain.
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!
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’m planning a 15-day trip to Malaysia. The idea is to visit KL for 2 or 3 days, then Borneo, and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the time. I’d like to finish with the Perhentian Islands... What do you think? Any tips or advice would be great—I’d really appreciate it!
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.

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.

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!!!

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?

Apart from Batu Caves, I don’t have many ideas...
I’m traveling with my partner and our 16-year-old son.

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. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Hello,

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!

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 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! ❤️
