Je suis en train de prévoir un voyage de 15 jours. Pourriez-vous me dire si mon itinéraire tient la route s'il vous plait et ce que je pourrais faire pour l'améliorer ? Cela m'aiderait beaucoup !!!
Le voici :
Mardi 14/06 : Vol Paris - Kuala Lumpur.
Mercredi 15/06 : Arrivée en matinée à Kuala Lumpur. Visite de la ville.
Jeudi 16/06 : Kuala Lumpur : Les Batu Caves
Vendredi 17/06 : Kuala Lumpur -> Malacca. Visite de la ville.
Samedi 18/06 : Malacca. Visite de la ville.
Dimanche 19/06 : Malacca -> Kuala Lumpur -> Taman Negara
Lundi 20/06 : Taman Negara
Mardi 21/06 : Taman Negara -> Kota Bahru (par le Jungle Train) : marché nocturne
Mercredi 22/06 : Kota Bahru -> Kuala Besut (ferry) -> iles Perhentians
Jeudi 23/06 : iles Perhentians (snorkelling et farniente)
Vendredi 24/06 : iles Perhentians (snorkelling et farniente)
Samedi 25/06 : iles Perhentians -> Kuala Besut -> Cameron Highlands
Dimanche 26/06 : Cameron Highlands : plantation de thé
Lundi 27/06 : Cameron Highlands -> Kuala Lumpur
Mardi 28/06 : Vol pour Paris
Merci beaucoup pour l'aide que vous pourrez m'apporter !
Hello
Une nuit suffit peut être pour Malacca si vous y restez plusieurs heures le jour (pas grand chose à faire la nuit mais ville agréable et intéressante), et donc je rajouterai une nuit à Perhentian si vous aimez le balnéaire.
Je ne suis jamais allée ni au Taman ni au Cameron donc pas d'avis.
Merci beaucoup pour votre conseil !
Il parait que le week-end Malacca est une ville qui s'anime un peu plus.
Je pensais la visiter tranquillement le premier jour, et le second aller voir la Mosquée sur l'eau.
Pour le Taman Negara, je crois que je vais le retirer de l'itinéraire pour y inclure les temples près d'Ipoh et Penang ! (je vais devoir allonger l'itineraire ! :)
Merciiii
Votre itinéraire est déjà pas mal du tout, pour l'améliorer, je me permet quelques suggestions:
Jeudi 16/06 : Kuala Lumpur : Les Batu Caves
Batu caves, est juste quelque peu excentré mais pour y aller ce n'est pas très long. Et le site en lui même, n'est pas très grand, il se visite en très peu de temps; donc vous pouvez prévoir une demie journée pour cela et ainsi avoir une demie journée en plus pour visiter d'autres sites sur KL.
Vendredi 17/06 : Kuala Lumpur -> Malacca. Visite de la ville.
Samedi 18/06 : Malacca. Visite de la ville.
Dimanche 19/06 : Malacca -> Kuala Lumpur -> Taman Negara
Je suis assez d'accord avec le commentaire précédent, peut-être trop de temps prévu sur Malacca. Une journée suffit à faire le tour et profiter de l'ambiance, à part si vous souhaitez faire le tour de tous les musées qui s'y trouvent.
Dimanche 26/06 : Cameron Highlands : plantation de thé
Très bon choix d'avoir choisi de passer par Cameron Highlands, c'est à faire! ça change totalement du reste de la Malaisie. D'ailleurs, je vous conseille la Father Guesthouse, une des personnes de l'accueil est française, mariée à un guide prénommé Jason, qui vous amène faire un Treck à l'inverse de tous les autres trecks proposés à Cameron, et il y en a beaucoup!! Si vous n'avez pas peur de marcher 3 - 4 heures dans la jungle au matin, pour passer par un village de natifs, et arriver sur une plantation de thé. Et tout ça en petit comité! très agréable!
A ne pas manquer sur place, le marché avec de la nourriture à profusion. Ou encore une petite échoppe de pancakes tenu par un couple de sourds muets.
Ensuite j'ai vu que vous souhaitiez voir Penang, c'est super sympa avec le Street-art en ville.
Après 2 choix d'ordres s'offre à vous: soit débuter votre périple en allant directement aux iles perhentians. Via un vol pour Kuala terengarru. puis Penang, en bus, Cameron Highlands, et enfin finir par KL. Et Malacca.
Soit l'inverse.
Finalement c'est 13 jours si on enlève les jours de vol: donc pourquoi pas 3j aux Perenthians, 2j Cameron Highlands, 2j Penang, 4j KL, 2j Malacca. Sachant qu'il y a les transports pour passer de point en point, Pensez-y! et ne soyez pas trop gourmands pour en profiter un max.
😄
Rêve d'un Road Trip de plusieurs mois.LAST: IndiaNEXT: Vietnam
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires très utiles sur l'itinéraire.
Après réflexion, je vais devoir le bousculer un peu, car j'ai moins de temps que prévu sur place.
Voici ce que j'envisage de nouveau :
Dimanche 12/06 : Vol Paris - Kuala Lumpur.
Lundi 13/06 : Arrivée en matinée à Kuala Lumpur. Visite de la ville.
Mardi 14/06 : Kuala Lumpur - Cameron Highlands.
Mercredi 15/06 : Cameron Highlands.
Jeudi 16/06 : Cameron Highlands - Penang.
Vendredi 17/06 : Penang : Temple de Kek Lok Si (très beau m'a t-on dit)
Samedi 18/06 : Penang + Bus de nuit direction les îles Perhentians.
Dimanche 19/06 : Arrivée au matin : îles Perhentians.
Lundi 20/06 : îles Perhentians.
Mardi 21/06 : îles Perhentians.
Mercredi 22/06 : îles Perhentians -> Kota Bharu (bus de nuit direction Malacca)
Jeudi 23/06 : Arrivée à Malacca au matin
Vendredi 24/06 : Malacca
Samedi 25/06 : Malacca - Kuala Lumpur
Dimanche 26/06 : Kuala Lumpur : Les Batu Caves le matin. Puis retour à Kuala Lumpur et visite.
Lundi 27/06 : Vol pour Paris
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
J'ai essayé de m'arranger pour que la visite des Cameron Highlands et celle des îles Perhentians ne tombent pas un week-end ! (plus touristique j'imagine !)
- d('accord avec HohYao l'ajout d'un jour aux Perhantian était indispensable, ça vous fera 3 j pleins sur l'ile (départ a 16h)
- Pas la peine d'aller a Kota Bharu pour le bus de nuit pour Malacca : il se prend a Jerteh a 21h30 (8km du port de Kula Besut) : n'oubliez pas de mettre tous vos vetements sur vous, c'est glacial BBBRRRrrrr 🤪... mais heureusement très confortable. Vous arrivez a Malacca a 8h environ
Seul hic : l'attente du bus a Jerteh de 17h a 21h30 est sinistre ... 😊 ... mais pas pire que ds d'autres gares routières d'Asie 😏
Réservez votre billet ds 1 "agence" sur la place de Kuala Besut avant d'aller aux Perhantian afin d'être tranquille
- Malacca 1j,5 me semble suffisant, ce qui vous permet de mettre 1 jour ailleurs. Pour Malacca-KL, il y a des dizaines de bus chaque jour en continu
- les îles Perhentians hors week-end est une bonne idée : en effet des malais viennent seulement le WE, mais attention ça reste (très) calme c'est juste un pb de logement, c'est pas les full moon comme en Thailande ...
Pour le WE, soit vous réservez avant, soit vous choisissez sur place en arrivant, sachant que ça peut être + difficile de trouver . Hors WE en juin pas de pb

Nous serons à Singapour pendant quelques jours et nous avons 9 jours off à partir de là bas. Nous aimerions aller sur Borneo, bien entendu sans tout visiter,…
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!
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 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! 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.
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!!!

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 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.

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.

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! !
