Je veux rejoindre Sumatra depuis la Malaisie au mois de juillet, je suis pas spécialement pressé et j'adore les trajets en bateau donc je me demandais si c'était toujours ok de traverser le détroit de Malacca en ferry depuis Melakka jusqu'à Dumai. Pas de souci pour obtenir le visa Indo à l'arrivée, c'est toujours 30 jours pour +/- 20 Euros ? Durée, prix de la traversée ? A Dumai, on file ou on se pose un peu ? Merci d'avance 😉

Salut,
Je veux rejoindre Sumatra depuis la Malaisie au mois de juillet, je suis pas spécialement pressé et j'adore les trajets en bateau donc je me demandais si c'était toujours ok de traverser le détroit de Malacca en ferry depuis Melakka jusqu'à Dumai.

Bien entendu que tu peux faire cette traversee, je t'y encourage meme surtout si tu as le temps, le prix est de 78 Rm pour 2h00 de traversee, donc pas la mort d'un homme !!
Par contre, ensuite, la route sera longue jusqu'a "Pekanbaru", presque 15h00 de bus... plus encore un long trajet ensuite pour Padang !!😉 Du moment que tes fesses sont en "forme" dans le siege, pas de soucis !!!!

Quoi, 15 h ?!!! Dumai-Pekanbaru, sur la carte ça n'a pas l'air de faire beaucoup plus de 200 km, j'imagine que les bus locaux sont pas rapides et s'arrètent partout mais là...
Sur ce post Ragamuffin parle de 4h de trajet, ce qui je t'avoue me fait un peu moins peur : http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=875564;search_string=pekanbaru;#875564
Pour ma part les longs trajets en bus ne me font pas peur, je ne bougeais que comme ça en Birmanie, mais ma copine va découvrir l'Asie et je préfère y aller en douceur pour elle !
Après Pekanbaru qu'est-ce qui te semblerait logique comme trajet, en sachant que j'aimerai faire un trek sur un volcan, peut-être un peu de jungle et terminer sur Pulau Weh pour aller plonger ?
J'en demande peut-être beaucoup là je sais, mais bon si t'as quelques suggestions je suis preneur 😎
c est bien dans les 15 h de bus local que tu devras te tapé pour rejoindre Pekan ou Bukitt si pas de prob en route (moi j y ai passé 17 h cause accident sur la route )mais bon c est sympa, les bus sont a bloc et la zik d enfer, dommage que c est souvent la même cassette d indo qui passe en continue.😛 Dumai a fuir mais vite ......😕
L'envie c'est comme un grain de sable dans l'oeil !
supplément d infos, il existe des minibus pour Bukittinggi qui ne mettent que 7 h mais qui ne partent que le matin, donc essaye de partir le plus tot de Malacca ou prends un billet K-L / Padang pas tres cher et plus rapide.
L'envie c'est comme un grain de sable dans l'oeil !
Heu... c'est vrai que sur la carte, Pekanbaru est grosso modo à mi-chemin entre Dumai et Bukittingi...
Et comme Dumai --> Bukittingi, ça prend 15h...
Quand tu débarques à Dumai, attends-toi à avoir le comité d'accueil classique en Asie: une floppée d'Indos (des rabatteurs) qui se bousculent pour te vendre des tickets de transport.
Là, 2 options pour Pekanbaru: Soit tu leur demandes de t'emmener à la gare routière pour prendre un bus local (moins cher mais moins rapide) Soit ils t'emmènent dans leur agence de voyage (pas loin) pour prendre une navette (genre minivan 9 places, plus cher mais plus rapide). Ils appellent ça un "travel". Avantage: tu peux demander au chauffeur qu'il te dépose direct à ton hotel en arrivant (les bus, eux, s'arrêtent à la gare routière).
Je n'ai plus les tarifs en tête, en plus ils changent (= augmentent) sans arrêt...
Bonne route! (avec la musique à fond, bien sûr)

Pas de problême pour éffectuer cette traversée depuis Malacca, c'est dans les 80 RM en 2 heures
environ, Dumai n'est vraiment pas plaisant pour y rester....même pour y changer de l'argent pas facile
il vaut mieux le faire sur le Bateau ou à Malacca au départ du bateau > bon taux, sinon à l'arrivée
des transporteurs viennent à la rencontre des voyageurs, des minibus vont dans pas mal de directions,
Pekanbaru est sans intérêt, pour Bukkitinggi direct sans passer par Pekanbaru il faut compter au moins
10 heures, route pas vraiment bonne et étroite de plus ils attendent parfois que ça remplisse un peu...
pour partir, compter dans les 150000 rp, ce n'est plus "un bon plan" financier depuis que les Low Cost,
Air Asia depuis KL et Tiger Airways depuis Sinagapour relient Padang et Pekanbaru pour une bouchée de pain, mais bon on ne profite pas du pays comme par voie terrestre bien que mis à part Malacca, la suite du voyage
jusqu' à Bukki est bien morne, beaucoup de forêts brulés lors de mon dernier passage....Pour les visas je ne
puis te renseigner, je l'avais avant d'arrivée.

Merci pour vos réponses, Mentawai cette solution du minibus me paraît être la meilleure, espérons qu'en prenant le premier bateau du matin au départ de Melakka je pourrais en trouver un à l'arrivée. Bon, c'est l'Indo, je m'en fais pas trop y'a toujours moyen de se débrouiller, non ?
Pour le visa apparemment on peut se le faire faire à l'arrivée directement, de toutes façons je ne resterai pas plus de 30 jours donc pas de souci à priori, c'est le visa touriste de base.
L'idée du change à Melakka c'est pas idiot je n'y aurais pas pensé, ça fait un souci en moins à l'arrivée, et je l'imagine déjà d'ici cette arrivée à Dumai, 15 rabatteurs sur le dos "you want bus mister?"
A Bukittingi y'a quoi à faire dans le coin ? J'ai pas encore acheté le Lonely, j'ai un vieux Routard de 2002 qui ne mentionne même pas Pulau Weh...
Vous avez pas des idées de circuit sur un mois ? Volcan, jungle, lac Maninjau ou Toba, en terminant par pulau Weh ? (avec un ou 2 vols intérieurs entretemps s'il faut gagner du temps) Je sais je suis un gros flemmard de vous demander ça 😛
Je ne suis jamais allé à Toba, mais le lac Maninjau est splendide... Coincé entre les collines, y'a des sentiers partout pour partir en trek.
A partir de Bukittinggi, tu peux prendre un bus local ou un minibus (même chose qu'à Dumai). La route est sinueuse mais magnifique.
Un truc sympa si t'es en forme: faire Bukittinggi -> Lawang Top en bus et descendre à pied (3h environ) à travers la jungle pour rejoindre Maninjau. (tu trouveras tout ça dans le Lonely).

Bonjour, a toi et aux autres sur ce post. J' envisage de faire une tournee de 10-12 jours a Sumatra dans la premiere moitie de juillet, en provenance de KL. Donc, j' ai suivi avec interet le post pour ce qui est du passage KL-Sumatra (la solution par mer me plait assez bien). J' ai encore quelques questions et comme j' ai la flemme d' aller chercher sur d' autres posts precedents (je ne suis pas le seul, il semble!) je m' adresse a vous:
que peut-on faire de sympa en 10 jours a partir de Dumai (l' arrivee par bateau de Malaisie)? Je ne suis du genre a chercher les hotels et les circuits douillets, et je connais l' Indonesie (mais pas Sumatra), y ayant travaille il y a (deja) bien longtemps. pouvez-vous confirmer l' obtention du visa a l' arrivee par voie maritime? par la suite, je dois aller a Bangkok: y-a-t-il une connection aerienne pas trop chere a partir de Sumatra, ou faudra-t-il que je repasse par KL?
Merci d' avance 🙂
Merci d' avance 🙂
Bon te voila a Bukittinggi, un endroit que j aime particulieremenr a Sumatra . Loue une moto et part passer 2 ou 3 jours promener a HARAU VALLEE, tu pourras y dormir au Echo Café et Homestay, c est un endroit "Fabuleux" a ne surtout pas manqué, tu m en remerciras a ton retour 😛.Le lac Maninjau ..... bien sur, moi j y resterais 2 jours sans prob en louant tjours une mob a Bukittinggi et puis Kota Baru pour ces celebres combats de buffles .

Eh bien, y-a-t-il besoin de se facher comme ca? Non, bien sur que non. Je fais tout simplement appel a la bonne volonte de ceux qui sont sur ce poste et qui semblent connaitre le terrain. Je ne pense pas avoir manque de politesse, alors j' apprecierais le meme traitement.
Ce n est pas ton manque de politesse qui m as choqué mais ta flémingite aigue que je trouve un peu incorrecte . Les forumistes sont des fois un peu las de se repeter, alors qu'en quelques clics tu pourrais trouver les réponses à tes questions et en bonus pleins d'autres infos auxquelles tu n'aurais pas penser.

Bon, si tu ne veux pas me repondre, ne t' inquiete pas, je sais bien me debrouiller autrement 🙂. Je suis au travail et n' ai pas le temps de faire trop de recherche alors je lance ma question sur le champ, sur ce post. Pas besoin d' etre choque!

Hello,
Pas de raison que ça ne soit plus possible, par contre la traversée du détroit n'a rien de bien folichon, c'est du speedboat climatisé, on voit rien par les hublots, vraiment pas un grand intérêt franchement... Dumai n'a absolument aucun intérêt non plus donc tu traces rapidement sur Pekanbaru ou Bukittinggi. Durée, dans mon souvenir pas plus d'une heure et puis pas très cher, de l'ordre d'une dizaine d'euros. Pour le visa pas de souci c'est à l'arrivée, 20 ou 30 Euros je sais plus... Bon trip !

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,
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
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...

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!

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! !
