Bonjour,
Il parait qu'il existe des grands taxi, ou limousine, à l'aéroport de BGK. Les posts à ce sujets ne sont pas très récents, donc je repose la question.
Nous (parents) arrivons avec 4 ados et préfèrerions prendre un seul taxi pour nous rendre à Don Muang. Savez vous où l'on peut prendre une limousine et quel est le prix du transfert entre les 2 aéroports ? Le trajet se fera de nuit, puisque nous arrivons à 23h45 à BGK, le prix est il majoré ?
Merci

Bonjour c est un choix perso de ne pas prendre un taxi normal moins cher ?
Bonjour,
Je cherche un moyen pour nous transporter en famille, tous les 6 avec chacun notre sac à dos, depuis Sunarvabhumi à Don Muang à minuit ou plus :( , les navettes aéroport ne fonctionnant à priori plus à cette heure là, re :(
On m'a aussi évoqué un minivan, qui serait une super solution, car on n'est pas du tout attaché à une limousine et au luxe ! Si vous savez où je peux trouver un minivan en sortant de l'aéroport , dites moi.
merci

Le site de Suvarnabhumi est inaccessible ce matin, on y trouve toutes les infos : http://www.suvarnabhumiairport.com/en/115-limousine
Il y a un service de limousine au niveau 2 (celui des arrivées) : http://www.bangkokairportonline.com/node/53
prendre minivan....collectif..vous aurez le choix
allez voir sur bangkokshuttle.com si il ya une proposition....pour cette liaison
sinon il y'a si vous avez un billet d'avion de continuation au départ de don muang une navette gratuite...entre les 2 aéroports en principe ça fonctionne tant qu'il y a des vols.......
ne chipotez pas pour quelques euros.. ça reste très attractif là bas... surtout quand on peut se payer un tel voyage pour toute une famille de 6 personnes vous serez surprise des prix par rapport à la France .
Un minivan peut suffire pour 6 personnes et là ils n' attendront pas qu'ils se remplissent.... il y en a même très tard....
il doit y avoir un comptoir "taxi" en sortant de la zone arrivée.... des minivan ou taxi il y en a dehors qui attendent

Le problème de Christine, c'est qu'il n'y a plus de navette à l'heure où ils arriveront (j'ai vérifié), voir cette discussion : http://voyageforum.com/discussion/budgeter-passage-thailande-laos-ne-pas-changer-trop-euros-d6816339/
A l'aéroport, je dirais qu'on en cherche pas de limousine ;c'est la limousine qui vous trouve car de nombreux rabatteurs attendent l'arrivée des voyageurs à la sortie .....Pour le prix, ne pas se précipiter négocier et comparer avec tous ces attentifs rabatteurs qui ne veulent que votre bien en échange de quelques billets.
Je m'interroge sur la précipitation de rejoindre Don Muang car il est très facile de faire un petit dodo en arrivant(beaucoup d'hôtels pas chers) et de partir au petit matin pour Don Muang .

surement... mesure d'économiser des chambres d'hôtels pour quelques heures ils sont 6!!! au moins 2 chambres d'hôtel!!! c'est leur choix..
par contre les rabatteurs commencent à se faire moins présents.. le régime militaire étant en place... là ils ont peur les rabatteurs.. il est préférable de toutes les façons de prendre un minivan au tarif officiel......ça sera pas une dépense onéreuse et puis bon ... faire des économies de bout de chandelle alors que l'on arrive à partir à 6 en voyage en thailande... faut pas jouer "les radins".. bon je sais ça ne va pas plaire ma réflexion mais bon c'est un forum et on ne peut pas être toujours d'accord dans sa manière de prendre les choses....

2 taxis un adulte dans chaque véhicule pas d arnaque pas cher rapide et simple. C est juste pour 40 min. Plutôt que de vous prendre la tête à chercher plus gros en véhicule. Maintenant il existe peut ê TEE des taxis plus importants en capacite ça vaut le coup d aller vérifier tout ça aux taxis en arrivant.
😎Pas trop de problèmes à la station de taxis de l'Aéroport. Il faut juste attendre un peu que ce soit la bonne voiture, mais en général ça ne pose pas trop de problèmes.
Merci pour toutes vos réponses. Si d'autres voyageurs ont des idées, qu'ils hésitent pas à les donner.
Juste un mot pour ceux qui suggèrent qu'on est riche parce qu’on "se permet" de voyager à six, bien que ce soit hors sujet.
Les voyages, pour nous et avec nos enfants (nous en avons 3 et amenons cette fois une amie d'une de nos fille, à ses frais), sont un choix prioritaire. Cela signifie simplement qu'il y a bien des choses dont nous nous dispensons dans la vie courante pour nous offrir ces voyages. Comme nous n'avons pas les moyens de tout avoir, nous faisons des choix. Et, malgré tout, nous voyageons seuls dès que c'est possible, limitons les hôtels au maximum, prenons les transports locaux, achetons nos billets 6 mois à l'avance ... sinon nous n'y arriverions pas. En plus, cela pimente les voyages, ce que les enfants adorent.
Beaucoup pourraient faire comme nous, s'ils en avaient le goût et s'ils savaient se dispenser de biens ou activités tout à faits superficiels comparés à ce qu'apportent de beaux voyages. Ceci, bien sûr, n'engage que nous.
Merci encore pour vos réponses passées, présentes et à venir.
PS : Une limousine est une voiture dont les places arrières sont closes. c'est donc plus une question de forme et éventuellement de taille, mais pas forcément de luxe (sauf dans le langage populaire chez nous).

Un coup à l'aéroport de Don Muang, nous étions 5 personnes et chargées.
Nous avions prévu de prendre 2 taxis. Quand nous sommes arrivés au stand des taxis, une queue énorme !!
Nous sommes allés au stand TAT et on a pu réserver un minivan pour nous 5. Le tarif fixe était de 500THB pour rejoindre Sukhumvit Asoke. au lieu d'environ 200THB par taxi (en prenant en compte les 50THB de prise en charge aéroport). Du coup d'un point de vue financier, ce n'était pas du tout une mauvaise affaire. Et le gros avantage, c'est que le minivan partait immédiatement ! a 5 dans un minivan, nous étions confortablement installés.
Donc un minivan entre les 2 aéroports, je dirais au max 1000THB (25€ pour 6 personnes, c'est pas déconnant)

Tu n'as pas à te justifier, chacun fait ce qu'il veut de son argent si tant est qu'il y en ait un peu plus que l'indispensable.
Quand des gens s'interrogent sur le fait que nous voyageons souvent en Asie, je réponds simplement que 3 semaines en Thaïlande avec les enfants ne reviennent pas plus cher qu'une semaine au ski et que nous avons la même voiture depuis 2001. La vie en général est une question de choix.

Bonjour à tous et merci pour tous vos renseignements.
Avec tous vos conseils et retours d'expérience, on devrait trouver assez facilement un transport adéquat une fois sur place.
A bientôt pour d'autres questions 😉

La réponse à la question vient d'être donnée dans ce post de Barbot : http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=6821614;page=unread#unread
Les nouveaux kiosques, se trouvent à l’extérieur, portes 4 et 7 au premier étage de l'aéroport et sont conçus pour réduire les temps d'attente à quelques secondes. De plus les passagers voyageant en groupe ou munis de nombreux bagages sont sûrs d’être dirigés vers le véhicule adéquat.

I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Thanks!

Hi! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Malaysia. The idea is to visit KL for 2 or 3 days, then Borneo, and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the time. I’d like to finish with the Perhentian Islands... What do you think? Any tips or advice would be great—I’d really appreciate it!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
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.
Hey everyone,
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip? I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Thanks! 🙂

Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before: - Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees. Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands. Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way). Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan. Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide). Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island. Day 10 – Head to Semporna. Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai. Day 15 – Bohey Dulang. Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous. I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing. I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture. But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary. If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi. Is it possible to take the train from Malacca to Ipoh? Thanks for your feedback.
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.

Hi there,
I’m spending 4 days in Kuala Lumpur.
Could you let me know what’s absolutely worth visiting and what’s not really worth the effort?
Any suggested itinerary?
Apart from Batu Caves, I don’t have many ideas...
I’m traveling with my partner and our 16-year-old son.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai? Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai. My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Hello,
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! :-)
Hi there
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok: No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna: From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄). Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM. Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau: Found this via AI—is it legit? No online booking, as far as I can tell. Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly???? And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!
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!

Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning March 24: Phnom Penh March 25: Phnom Penh March 26: Depart for Kampot March 27: Kampot March 28: Depart for Battambang March 29: Battambang March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap March 31: Siem Reap April 1: Siem Reap April 2: Siem Reap April 3: Siem Reap April 4: Siem Reap April 5: Departure
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.

🙂 Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️

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! !
