Bonjour
La semaine prochaine je m'envole pour Bali, en solo, premiere fois en Asie 😮
Voici mon itineraire, j'ai un peu plus de 2 semaines, j'arrive Jeudi soir et repart le Samedi soir.
Jimbaran: 3 nuits - j'ai reservé au Puri Bambu hotel - j'aimerais aller au Tanah Lot de là, je pense que c'est possible
Ubud: 4 nuits - je pensais aller a Ketut's Place mais j'ai lu beaucoup de commentaires négatifs sur le bruit, si vous aviez un endroit a me recommander 😉
Munduk: 4 nuits - je vais aller a Atres Villa
Amed: 2 nuits
Sidemen: 2 nuits
Ce qui m'embète c'est que je ne vais pas vers Lovina, peut etre est ce possibe de Mundunk?
Est ce necessaire d'aller a Sidemen?
Voila, je n'ai pas encore reservé sur Amed et Sidemen mais je pensais le faire sur place.
Des plus aguerris que moi pourront mieux te répondre sur ton itinéraire
Par contre pour le bruit, je peux te répondre, où que tu ailles tu auras du bruit ... les mob à fond les ballons, les chiens qui braillent la nuit ainsi que les coqs 🤪 bref prend des boules quies ! c'est un conseil
Même pour notre dernière nuit, on s'était pris une superbe chambre/villa avec piscine privée dans un cadre superbe, la nuit c'est la misère ....
Oui de Jimbaran tu peux aller au Tanah Lot mais aussi faire les plages de Bukit (Balangan, PadangPadang, Blue point toutes trés sympas)et voir le spectacle de Kecak dance au temple d'Uluwatu
Dans le centre D'Ubud pas de bruit au Ubud Bungalows trés bien...Je n'ai pas testé mais on dit du bien de Saudara home (un peu cher peut être?)qui travaille avec Dolit pour les balades (trés bons retours de beaucoup de forumeurs).Dolit propose aussi des logements chez l'habitant mais là aussi c'est + campagne donc du bruit..;(dolit-keliki-painting-school.wifeo.com/hebergement-au-village.php)
Bien pour Atres villa qu'on a adoré :il suffit de mailer Gusti pour les activités que tu souhaite faire là bas (et notamment Lovina)à l'avance et il t'organise ça (on a fait Lovina , Pemeturan, le Kawah Ijen avec lui).Si tes activités ne sont pas prévues à l'avance tu suivras le "programme" du jour qui ne sera pas forcément ce que tu souhaite faire en priorité.Ne pas rater les sources d'eau chaude de Banjar et la balade dans les rizières pour voir les combats de coqs entre autres activités toutes plus sympas les unes que les autres!
A aller à Amed c'est pour du snorkelling direct de la plage donc essaie de loger sur la première baie Jemeluk :snorkelling top en face du Amed café (trés bon resto , un peu cher):on logeait au Jukung Bali , trés bien mais pas donné (45 euros le grand bungalow).Loue un scoot pour longer la côte .Attention pas d'éclairage le soir (amener une lampe de poche) ni de distributeur (prévoir du liquide).Il n'y a pas foule donc tu pourras te loger sans problème sauf si tu as des exigences particulières peut être (comme être sur la plage )
Sidemen c'est trés beau , trés calme:y arriver l'aprem , prévoir une balade (l'hotel te l'organise)dans les rizières le lendemain matin , à mon avis ça suffit.Pas tant de logements que ça et on croise pas grand monde pour se renseigner, réservez avant peut être une bonne idée ! Le Lihat Sawah 3-tout neuf- trés bien, cher je pense car nous avions eu des tarifs spéciaux comme il n'était pas terminé)
Voilà pour les infos, bonne préparation!
Merci pour toutes ces informations, j'ai envoyé un mail a Ubud Bungalow pour voir si il y a de la place, peux tu me dire si c'est bien situé dans Ubud, pour voir les differentes choses.
Maintenant mon dilemne est de savoir si apres Munduk je monte sur Pumeteran ou si je vais vers Amed/Sidemen.
Voilà une carte d'Ubud:tout en bas la "monkey forest", quand tu remontes la rue (du même nom) tu as le Ubud Bungalows sur la droite.Pour manger pas cher tu remontes la rue quasiment jusqu'en haut et dans la dernière rue à gauche (Arjuna je crois me souvenir) il y a 3 petits restos (le 1er à gauche, trés bien).Compte 10mn/15mn pour remonter la rue.Tout en haut il y a le palais d'Ubud et sur la gauche le Water Palace:il faut y voir un spectacle de Legong (vers 19h30 le soir, y être avant pour les places).En continuant cette route tu as la balade de la crête de Campuan qui est sympa (voir ce lien: http://www.edelo.net/bali/centre.htm, plusieurs balades avec les cartes des circuits)
L'hotel est donc plein centre:la monkey forest est à faire (on s'y balade facile 1à2h en observant les singes:attention ne pas les toucher, ne pas s'asseoir -sinon ils te grimpent dessus-, ne pas trop les approcher -surtout les bébés-;plusieurs plaintes de morsures!Si on respecte certaines précautions pas de soucis), en sortant de la Monkey forest il y a sur la rue qui la longe (coté entrée nord) le "Tropical café" avec une belle vue sur les rizières , sympas pour boire un coup!
Ensuite à partir d'Ubud il faut faire en scoot ou avec chauffeur (tu auras des propositions dans la rue ou il suffit de demander à l'hotel:30 euros me paraît un prix correct pour la journée):
- les rizières de Tegallalang (possible de s'y balader avec un "petit jeune")
- Gunung Kawi , splendide site , et Tirta Empul à côté;tu peux éventuellement pousser jusqu'au Mont Batur
- Goah Gadjah est sympa pour la petite balade dans la jungle derrière
Voilà pour les "incontournables".
Pemeturan:interessant pour aller à l'île de Menjangan (génial) mais ça peut se faire de Munduk à la journée.Aprés je n'y ais pas dormi mais juste en y passant ça m'a semblé moins cool qu'Amed
Amed : en logeant sur la plage à Jemeluk (1ère baie)tu fais du snorkelling direct de la plage (top devant le Amed café)donc c'est sympa d'y rester 2 jours :la vue est super, il y a des bateaux de pêcheurs le long de la plage, tu peux faire la côte en scooter..;C'est trés tranquille, petits restos sympas, pas de monde, vraiment bien!
Si tu as besoin d'autres infos...( 2ième lien ci dessous mon blog, ça peut donner des idées)
Lovina c est pas terrible du tout. Par contre tres belle route entre Lovina et Amed. A Amed chambre tres bien avec terrasse pour 80 000 avec PDJ a Buccu, prononcer bout de chou.
Bonjour,
J'ai voyagé à Bali et Lombok en scooter pendt 2 mois l'été dernier.
Voici mon avis sur l'itinéraire :
Depuis Jimbaran, oui il est possible de visiter Tanah Lot. Il faut aussi visiter la peninsule de Bukit : Dreamland beach, uluwatu (incontournable)!!!
Le mieux pour visiter l'île est de louer un scooter !
Ensuite bien sur il faut profiter de la région d'Ubud.
J'ai eu un gros coup de coeur pour Munduk. Le village est tranquille et beaucoup moins touristique que Ubud. Il y a de magnifiques randonnées à faire dans les environs.
Depuis Munduk, il est possible de se rendre a Lovina même si je ne le recommande pas forcement. Par contre il faut poursuivre la magnifique route le long de la cote vers l'est et Amed. La pointe Est est tres sympa. On a sejourné au Good Karma sur l'une des criques de la côte. Les fonds marins sont superbes...c'est une bonne introduction avant les plongées aux Gilis ;)
Autre spot a ne pas manquer : Sidemen, un village entouré de verdure et de riziere. Comme Munduk, le coin est calme, pas trop touristiques, les habitants sont super gentils et chaleureux. Nombreuses randos et balades dans les environs.
Vous pouvez retrouver notre itinéraire à Bali ICI avec photos, vidéos et infos utiles (logements, conseils...), vous pourrez y piocher quelques infos !
On a aussi réalisé une série video de 17 épisodes retracant notre parcours en Indonésie : c'est ICI !
On vous souhaite un très beau voyage !

Merci, ca y est j'ai reservé Ubud Bungalow. 😉 je vois que c'est effectivement bien place.
Je me prevois un cours de cuisine, je suis toute exitée par ce voyage 😮 je pense que je vais me regaler.
Autre petite question, j'ai achete l'année derniere une mosquito net, pour la Tanzanie, que je n'ai pas utilisée, est ce que cela vaut la peine de l'apporter?
Bon, j'ai reservé Jimbaran, Ubud et Munduk, 11 nuits sur les 16, je crois que je vais me laisser porter pour la suite, j'irais surement sur Amed et Sidemen pour terminer mon voyage.
Merci, merci, pour mon premier voyage en Asie, j'ai hate. 🙂
Lovina c est pas terrible du tout. Par contre tres belle route entre Lovina et Amed. A Amed chambre tres bien avec terrasse pour 80 000 avec PDJ a Buccu, prononcer bout de chou.
bonjour je suis actuelement a MUNDUK et direction AMED dans 1 ou 2 jours donc peut tu me donner plus d info sur cet hotel stp.
Eau chaude ?Wifi ?Lieu ?
Merci d avance
Bonsoir
Je voulais te remercier, je reviens de Bali et je suis allée a Ubud, Ubud Bungalow, tres bien placé, Wayan tres sympa qui m'a organisé des parcours voiture pour aller voir divers temples, mais surtout mon gros coup de coeur a Munduk: Atres Villa et Gusti, la personne la plus genereuse qui soit, je suis allée au Kawah Ijien, a Pumuteran pour le snorkeling et bien d'autres excursions, je devais y rester 4 jours et j'y suis restée 5: la convivialite, l'accueil a ete magique surtout pour une femme qui voyage seule, car les soirs on partageait tous les repas autour d'une grand table. Vraiment merci, j'en garderais un souvenir magnifique.
Ingrid
Super 🙂!Je suis ravie que ton séjour chez Gusti te laisse autant de souvenirs impérissables qu'à nous et j'espère qu'il en sera de même pour les futurs voyageurs!

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
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.

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!
