Bonjour,
Nous partons en Malaisie du 1er au 15 sept.
Voici l'itinéraire que je prévois, et en dessous mes questions:
1- Kuala Lumpur : 2 jour.
2- Avion (Berjaya Air ) pour Tioman ou on passe 3, 5J
3- Retour KL en avion (Une nuit) puis le lendemain matin trajet classique Bus+ & pirogue pour pour Taman Negara où on y reste 2J (je sais que c'est peu mais ca nous suffit).
4- Puis trajet de Taman Negara => Khota Barhu (une nuit)...pour 4 jours aux Perethian avant de rentrer sur KL par Air Asia et de repartir sur Paris le soir même.
Mes questions sont donc les suivantes:
1- Ou résider selon vous à Tioman pour un budget max de 50€/nuit/2?
2- Pour le trajet Taman Négara => Kota Bharu, quelle solution choisir? Je sais que nous devons reprendre la pirogue (ou bus) jusqu'à KUALA TREMBLING et/ou Jeranthu, mais ensuite? Je souhaite éviter le jungle train (trop long) donc quelles solutions?: Bus (depuis ou, quels horaires, et combien de temps?) ou pourquoi pas taxi (peut-on trouver dans le coin de jeranthu des taxi longue distance pour nous monter à Kota Barhu, et si oui comment les reserver)?
3- Aux Perethian: Kecil, Besar, Redang...quel(les) iles choisir...et ou résider toujours pour max 50€/nuit.
4- Enfin, comment reserver des billet Berjaya Air, leur site semble bizarre (par de pré-paiement)?
Merci de vos TRES PRECIEUX CONSEIL surtout pour le trajet Taman Negara => Kota barhu.
comme je vois que ton messages reste désepérement vide des réponses je vais tenter de répondre à ce que je connais :
1 - Tioman connais pas, désolé.
2 - Nous on a pris le jungle train depuis Merapuh. On a passé qqs jours sous tente ds le Taman Negara mais du côté de l'entrée Ouest de Merapuh : génial ! Le jungle train n'est pas si long que ça, c'est assez confoirtable par rapport au bus, moins de virage, plus de place... Kuala Tahan c'est plus galère, plus de mondes... une carte du parc pour info : http://www.footprint-adventures.co.uk/mapmalay/tamann1.html
3 - Perhentian, on a logé chez Mama's sur Besar (environ 20 euros la nuit). Franchement sans regret c'est un tres bon point de départ pour aller faire du snorkeling sur Tuttle Bay et Turttle Beach en canoë. En plus Mama's fait un poisson au BBQ à la sauce coco, un bonheur !
4 - Pour Berjaya Air, la réponse à ta question sur ce post : http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=1008654;search_string=Berjaya%20air;
Salut,
Pour moi Kuala lumpur meriterai plus de deux jours. Mais les gouts et les couleurs...
Pour ce qui est des iles, je suis alle a Redang et aux Perhentians. Pour la qualite de la plage et de l'eau, de loin mais de tres loin, Redang est nettement superieur. Pour le snorkelling et un cout de vie moins cher, Perhentians vaut plus le coup.
Bon voyage

Ma premiere question serait de te demander si tu as des imperatifs de dates dans le taman negara? Car si tu n'en as pas, il me semblerait plus logique de faire kuala lumpur et le taman negara dans un premier temps, avec retour sur kuala lumpur, puis ensuite de repartir sur tioman et les perhentians. Ca t"eviterait pas mal d'aller retour sur kuala lumpur pour rien et donc moins de perte de temps.(Tu peux aussi faire l'inverse, partir d'abord dans les iles et ensuite te rapprocher de la capitale).
Pour ce qui est des taxis longues distances, je ne connais pas de systeme de reservation. Mais pour te donner une idee des distances, on avait mis 5 heures de kuala besut à cherating en taxi, et 3heures30 en bus de kuantan à kuala lumpur.
Mais n'hesite pas à consulter aussi les tarifs des lignes aeriennes interieures: le pays est tres bien desservi et ça ne coute pas forcement tres cher. Surtout que ton planning a l'air assez serré.
Pour les perhentians et redang, j'aurai tendance à resumer ainsi ( c'est tres resume): redang, sympa, mais forte clientele asiatique, bien selon moi pour une excursion d'une journee.
Kecil aux perhentians, animee mais population tres jeune (18-24 ans) et excursions un peu toujours pareilles, peu negociables. Et enfin Besar aux perhentians, ma preferee, ambiance couples, plutot 20-40 ans ou familliale, plus calme. Le mama's, le watercolours et le coral view entre autres sont propres, pour moins de 50 euros la nuit. Le watercolours et le mama's proposent des excursions un peu differentes si on negocie un peu, meme en snorkelling (par exemple, le mama's proposait des excursions d'une journee sur redang!!!).
J'attire ton attention sur le fait que pour les perhentians, il faut passer par kota bharu et kuala besut, alors que pour redang, c'est kuala terrenganu et merang (ça n'a l'air de rien comme ca, mais une fois sur place, en taxi, c'est pas du tout pareil!!).
Pour les Perhentians, 33marie a tt à fait raison pour ce qui est de l'ambiance et du public mais malgré le fait qu'on soit en couple et comptant parmi les + de 35 ans on a préféré Long Beach (où il n'y a quand même pas que des adolescents pré-pubères!) à cause du plus grand choix de restos et d'ambiances le soir (le soir on est "condamné" à rester sur sa plage parce qu'il n'y a plus de taxi la nuit) et de son aspect moins "artificiel". Pour la journée, les taxis t'amènent en permanence partout, donc : peu importe...
Pour Berjaya, j'ai déjà reservé un vol par mail qui m'a été confirmé par mail et le tout sans payer quoi que ce soit. C'est sûr que c'est très surprenant mais c'est leur procédure!
Enfin je n'ai pas fait le trajet Taman - Kota Barhu mais il y avait quelques mini-bus à Kuala Besut (port d'embarquement pour les pErhentians) qui venaient directement du Taman et il était possible sur les îles de prendre des billets directs pour le Taman toujours en mini-bus. Je pense que c'est comme aux Cameron : tu dois pouvoir trouver sans problème une fois au Taman, des billets directs pour les Perhentians en t'adressant aux hôtels (mais probablement sans passer par Kota Baru).
Vous êtes sur de pas vouloir passer par Les Cameron Highlands ? C'est un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de 2 séjours en Malaisie....
Plus d'infos ou de photos sur mon blog et bon voyage..
Merci à tous de vos réponses.
Voici mes précisions :
- Thesamy : Merci de tes précions. Sur Besar je pense au TunaBay…tu connais ?
- Kumari : Merci aussi. Je pense loger sur Kecil (2 nuits) puis sur Besar (3nuits) et aller sur Redang pour la journée (excursion)…qu’en dis tu ?
- 33marie : Merci ter. Je fais Tioman puis Taman N, puis Perethian car de toute facon pour aller de tioman au perethian, je suis obligé (car avion en avion pour gagner du temps) de passer par KL, car si je remonte de Tioman à perenthian par bus ou taxi ca va me prendre 10h par la côté est non ?...donc dans cette logique je préfère faire plage puis jungle puis plage plutôt que jungle puis plage puis plage… Sinon petite question : Puis-je par exemple a Besar loger au Tunabay, et faire des excursions via la Mama’s pour profiter des bons plans que tu proposes ?
- Philthil : merci x4 J …Pour les Camerons, j’ai zappé car je connais bien les plantations de thé et rizière d’indonésie et pense que cela doit être asez similaires…si j’avais eu 3 semaine j’y serai passé mais en 15 jours…. ?
pke revenir apres etre alledans un coin paisible..ca va etre dur!
bonnes vacances...sinon tioman est bienmaisles iles malaysiennes ne sont pas les plus belles (ni lespus propres pour certaines!)donc ne t attardent pas trop dessus, a moins de faire de la plongee sous marine.
Je ne ferais que les Perhentians. Sinon y a des bateaux de Tioman aux Perhentians...
Des trajets en bus sont organisés au départ des Perhentians ou de Kl en bus. C'est donc une perte de temps de revenir à KL entre tioman et TN. Je remplacerai Tioman par les Cameron Highlands.
Quelques infos ici: http://www.tous-asie-muts.com/article-2977330.html
un bateau entre Tioman et les Perethian? Es tu sur? Je n'ai trouve aucune info à ce sujet. En as tu as me donner?
Sinon je suis surpris par
"les iles malaysiennes ne sont pas les plus belles"...bon je me doute que ce ne sont pas les Maldives, mais quand on voit les photos, les commentaires des guides, et qu'on lit les forums ca a l'air vraiment top...ce n'est pas si beau que ca?
Salut,
Bien sur concernant KL, gouts et couleurs etc... et pourtant ne pas consacrer un peu de son temps a Malacca me semble surprenant.
Concernant le rapport Manif/démocratie je vous signale que vous manifestez vos opinions politique sur un "forum voyage" ... il y a erreur quelque part non ?
Oui, tu peux tout a fait loger sur les deux iles des Perhentians et faire une excursion sur Redang voire plus si affinites. Ca devrait etre quoiqu'il en soit inoubliable.
Je te souhaite autant de bon temps sur ces iles que je viens d'en passer.
Bon voyage

Faut reserver les hebergements avant le départ ou si il y a moyen de trouver facilement sur place je part fin mai je serais sur les perhentians debut juin…

Pourriez-vous me donner votre avis sur cet itinéraire de 4 semaines en Malaisie/Singapour? Je pars de mi-août à mi-septembre, voyage en solo, mode petit…
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 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.

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!
