la grosse interrogation est : est ce que ca vaut le coup d'aller sur mabul island sachant que nous ne plongeons pas .
y a t il des endroits aussi sympa pour du snorkeling
merci pour votre aide .
Je recherche egalement des adresses de guestHouse avec un peu de confort (pour les enfants) .
J'étais dans la partie Malaise de Bornéo, c'est un très bon pays et tu vas te régaler ! Voir mon blog pour plus d'info.
En ce qui concerne ton voyage je l'organiserais comme ça :
Jour 1 Avion
Jour 2 KL
Jour 3 KL et départ en fin de journée pour Kuching --> Sauf si tu adores les villes ça ne sert à rien de rester plus de deux jour à KL et ça te fait gagner un jour sur ton voyage
Jour 4 Kunching une petite visite de la ville s'impose c'est mignon, mais 1 jours pas plus
Jour 5 Parc de Bako nuit dans le parc
Jour 6 Parc de Bako nuit à Kuching --> A l'époque je n'avais pas pu faire ce par ma fille était trop petite
Jour 7 Vol pour Gunung Mulu --> une pure merveille en pleine jungle de magnifique grotte et l'envol des chauve souris à réserver rapidement car il n'y a pas beaucoup de place dans les avions et ça se rempli vite
Jour 8 Gunung Mulu
Jour 9 Gunung Mulu
Jour 10 Gunug Mulu - KK (Kota kinabalu)
Jour 11 Mamutik island
Jour 12 Mamutik island
Jour 13 KK - Sandakan
Jour 14 Uncle Tan au départ de Sandakan
Jour 15 Uncle Tan
Jour 16 Uncle Tan --> Un incontournable une immersion dans la jungle de Borneo, un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de voyage
Jour 17 Turtle Island Park
Jour 18 Retour à KL
Jour 19 Retour en France
Mabul sans faire la plongée on doit s'embête grave je pense. Moi je suis plongeur donc forcement ;-)
Voilà si tu as des questions n'hésite pas

"J'ai appris que le courage n'est pas l'absence de peur, mais la capacité de la vaincre." Nelson Mandela
J ai peur de faire beaucoup de route avec un tel itinéraire .
j ai modifié mon circuit :
Jour 1 SINGAPOUR 1N
Jour 2 SINGAPOUR 1N
visite de la ville
Jour 3 SINGAPOUR --> KUCHING
La on passe 4 nuits pour visiter :
- La ville
- Marché de nuit
- Parc Bako
- Batang ai
- Semmenggoh
d'autres choses ??
Je pense que le mieux est de louer une voiture .
Jour 8 KUCHING / PENANG en avion
la on reste 5-6 nuits pour faire
- Penang
- Georgetown
- Langkawi
La recherche des hebergements sympas ???
Pour se deplacer ? faut il louer une voiture ? taxi
Sachant que nous sommes 8 .
Jour 13 PENANG / PERHENTIAN
On reste 4 /5 nuits
on descend sur kapas , il parait qua c 'est bien
Toujours la meme question .
vaut mieux lour une voiture a Kota barhu pour descendre sur Kapas et ensuite rejoindre Kuala lumpur ?
Je recherche donc des adresses de guesthouses sympas et des idées pour le déplacement . A moins de louer une voiture au départ de penang et rendu direct sur kuala lumpur ?
Bonjour
Nous préparons également notre circuit pour août 2013. Notre itinéraire ressemble un peu au votre. Nous pensons louer une voiture de penang à kl. Nous voyageons avec 3 garçons de 13,15 et 17 ans et après l'Indonésie l'été dernier, notre choix se porte sur la Malaisie pour la météo et pour la découverte de la faune et des fonds marins.
Nous cherchons à voir beaucoup de choses mais tout en limitant les temps de transport.
Voici donc notre itinéraire (avions réservés la semaine dernière)
30/7 Vol aller via Doha
31/7-2/8 Singapour
3-9/8 Kuching et environs (avion moins cher à partir du 10 en raison de hari raya)
10-11/8 Penang
12/8 Pangkor
13/8 Cameron islands
14/8 Kuala besut (on arrivera trop tard pour embarquer le soir même)
15-18/8 Perhentians
29-20/8 Cherating
21-22/8 Kuala Lumpur
23/8 vol retour vers Paris
J'ai fait le circuit sur googlemaps, ça parait réalisable. L'étape la plus longue est d'un peu moins de 6h pour aller à cherating.
Je ne sais pas si ça vous aide dans vos réflexions mais je suis preneuse des choix que vous ferez sur les gh et les hôtels.
Véronique.
Hello, l'été dernier je suis allée des Perhentian à Malacca en passant par Cherating et une ile de l'archipel de Seribuat : Pulau Babi Besar.
J'ai adoré les Perhentian et Malacca, par contre j'ai trouvé que Pulau Babi Besar et surtout Cherating ne valaient pas ce très long déplacement (en taxi).
Merci pour cet avis.
javais vu à cherating possibilites de voir les lucioles + ballade dans la mangrove. Quelle autre étape pourrais je envisager sur la route de retour vers kl ?
J'y étais également pour voir les lucioles (superbes mais il avait plu juste avant et il y en a eu moins que promis), et la mangrove/rivière (pas bcp d'intérêt en fait). Cherating, même si on décèle le charme des "stations balnéaires" un peu désuètes : c'est une rue avec des magasins dédiés aux touristes, rien de plus, et une grande plage (avec des bestioles qui piquent) et une mer plutôt houleuse et dit on dangereuse.
Pour la route de retour je ne saurai te dire, sauf que Malacca est à voir.
nous aussi nous allons partir en malaisie en juillet avec nos enfants
J hesite encore pour aller sur kuching surtout pour dormir sur le parc bako . apparemment le logement n est pas terrible . en tous cas voici notre itinéraire et queqlues noms de GH que j ai pu récupérer sur le forum .
- kuala lumpur . 3 nuits
GH : rainforest hotel
- KUALA LUMPUR / KUCHING
L avion est moins cher au départ de KUALA que de singapour .
Sur kuching
GH / Waterfront lodge (bien placée) mais j avais aussi trouvé the kebun
ca a l air pas mal .j hesite fortement
mas question est de savoir si on est obligé de dormir a bako ????
mon programme sur kuching
jour 1 arrivée sur kuching
- Visite de la ville , temples
- Main bazar
Jour 2/ jour 3
parc de bako
avec randonnée TELOK PAKU + TELUK DELIMA / TELOK PANDAN KECIL
JOUR 4
KUBAH national park (louer scooter )
le soir marché du dimanche
jour 5
parc de semmengo
avion Kuching / kuala lumpur / kota barhu
nuit a kota barhu GH : ?
Le lendemain on part en bateau sur perhentian pour passer 10 nuits
au coral view resort .
la plage est l une des mieux
family suite sea view .
pendant le séjour on ira passer la journée sur Lang tengah
apres on fait perhentian / kuala en avion et retourt en france .
voila mon itinéraire
si t as des bons plans je suis preneur .
mon deuxième itinéraire ce serait de faire
kuala lumpur 3 nuits / malacca 2 nuits / tioman 2 nuits / cherating / perhentians .
mais apperement cherating n'est pas super interréssant (je voulais voir les lucioles ..) d'apres hoh yao
a+
Bako c'est plus simple si tu peux dormir sur place, car les randonnées sont assez fatigante à cause de la chaleur. Je pense pas que les deux randonnées tu puisses les faire dans la même journée
Par contre Bornéo est beaucoup plus jolie que la partie continentale de la Malaisie, c'est ce que nous avons fait, si j'étais toi je resterais tout le séjour sur Bornéo, voir mon carnet de voyage pour plus d'information : http://en-voyages.fr/malasie/

je pense que tu as raison . mais c'est pour le budget . en plus nous ne plongeons pas . c'est sur que sipadan ca a l air vraiment sympa , mais il faut etre plongeur .
y a t il des petites iles abordables pour faire du snorkeling ?
Vous avez aussi de belles plages à coté de Kushing à Damai ou sur les Iles du coté de kota kinabalu. Mais 10 jours de plage c'est passé à coté de beaucoup de belle chose

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 there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning
March 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang
March 29: Battambang
March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap
March 31: Siem Reap
April 1: Siem Reap
April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap
April 5: Departure
Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.
20/09: Flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, arrive around noon, afternoon/evening and overnight in Yogyakarta.
21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen
26/09: Travel to Bali, overnight in Pemuteran
27/09: Excursion to Pulau Melujan, overnight in Pemuteran
28/09: Travel to Munduk, overnight in Munduk
29/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk
30/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk

04/10: Travel to Denpasar, flight to Labuan Bajo, overnight in Labuan Bajo
05/10: Komodo cruise
06/10: Komodo cruise
07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
