Bonjour à tous
Qui pourrait me donner le prix approximatif d'une course en taxi entre l'aéroport international de Manille et le quartier de Malate (je vais aller à la chill outguest house si qq un connait)
D'avance merci pour votre réponse

2 solutions
- la plus chère = taxis prépayés au tarif fantaisiste soit 500php environ pour Malate
- bon marché = tourner à droite à la sortie de l'aeroport pour les taximeters en suivant les philippins, un peu d'attente et côut selon trafic, moins de 300php
Tout finit par s'arranger...même mal.
Bonsoir,
Pour la ChillOut GH dans Rémédios, j'avais payé une cinquantaine de pesos en Jeepney, mais avec 1 changement .
Le seul pb est pour sortir de la zone aéroportuaire à pieds, il faut passer par les parkings extérieurs ( env.2 à 300 m pour rejoindre la station des Jeepneys) et rien n'est fait pour les piétons .

Petit passage éclair sur la destination....
Tarifs identiques en janv/fev 2016. Sauf les prépayés qui étaient entre 950 et 800, pour Mabini st. 800 après discussion !🙁
Je rajoute une troisième solution, selon l'heure, et donc la fréquentation. C'est de ne pas sortir de l'aérogare. Monter au 3ème après avoir trouvé les ascenseurs. Et sortir aux ''departs'' où poireautent les taxis blancs qui ont déposé. Là, ce sont eux qui font la queue 😏 Je parle du T3, que je connais et qui est le plus fréquent. Le prix reste sous les 300 pour Malate (prise en charge 40 au lieu des 70 des taxis d'aeroport-jaunes-)

Bonsoir,
Est ce que votre information serait toujours d'actualité:j'arrive à manille le Mercredi 11 Janvier vers 16h disons 17 le temps de retirer les bagages et de l'argent (la BDO est un bon tuyau pour le change dans l'aéroport?) mon hôtel est dans Rizal Park Je monte au 3eme pour récupérer un taxi blanc qui assurait les départs? Merci de votre réponse Cordialement

Bonsoir,
D'actualité? Je ne sais pas.
Le T3, pour nous, c'était janvier puis février derniers.
En tout cas l'un de nos meilleurs change, à l'aéroport, à l'époque. Et le plus rapide pour les taxis aux départs (blancs)
A voir sur place ou avec un récent voyageur-forumeur 😉
Bonne vacances. Cordialement. Sabina

avant hier, c'était toujours la queue pour les taxismeters jaunes, vu la longueur, 1 h environ. les prix pour les blancs c'est n'importe quoi. comme d'habitude. sinon qu'on est étranger le compteur disparait pratiquement tout le temps. ce T 3 est une catastrophe. en revanche, pas de retard pour un cebu/manille

En mars on atterit au T1 à 11h et on a un vol avec CEBU à 15H au T4 en direction de Coron?
ça nous fait 4h de battement? est-ce qu'on doit prendre un TAXI pour être sûr d'être à temps? ou existe t il des navettes plus rapides? sachant qu'on voudrait échanger nos euros à l'aéroport... Possibilité de changer au T4? ou plus avantageux au T1?
Merci merci,

Merci merci,
ça devrait etre bon. la navette NAIA passe par l’intérieur de l'aéroport, arrêt au T4 après le T2. 10 mns environ plus temps d'attente de la navette. la seule fois où je suis allé au T4 le change était meilleur qu'au T1

Merci de l'information..........mais ce n'est pas très réjouissant!
Vous avez expérimenté d'aller prendre le taxi au terminal 3 des départs? à priori ça semble un bon tuyau........mais faut pas qu'il soit perçé
Cordialement
marieva la bretonne
ça peut marcher, mais vous pairez le prix fort. comme je le dis dans un autre post, c'est une des raisons pour laquelle je ne vais plus à manille lors de mes séjours aux philippines.

il faut prendre la navette ou shuttle, c'est nouveau: un bus qui contourne les pistes, donc pas de problemes de circulation, en une dizaine de mns on est rendu...pas besoin de taxi ça, c'est un bon tuyau qui change la vie😉

salut bernard, d'accord avec toi, j'en ai maintenant l'habitude. mais sais tu où la prendre dans l'autre sens cad T3 au T1 ? une fois encore je n'ai trouvé que la navette privé à 20 p, bon on s'en fiche, mais ^pas la navette gratuite qui passe par les pistes. du coup, 45 mns pour aller du T3 au T1 car elle passe par l'extérieur dans les embouteillages. ça va j'avais le temps, mais personne ne veut t'indiquer où la prendre. on t'indique le shuttle privé ! probablement une arnaque de plus !

ha, ok...bon à savoir
peut être qu íl marche dans un seul sens😊😊
es-tu revenu au pays?

Merci de l'information ........ma question d'origine était de trouver le meilleur tuyau pour se rendre de l'aeroport au quartier de Rizal park .....avec les taxis jaunes ou blancs Un poste suggerait de récuperer les taxis blancs dans la zone de depart apres qu'ils aient dépose leurs clients mais notre" habitué" n'est pas de cet avis

excuses perso, je prends les taxis jaunes et j'ai rarement attendu longtemps mais cela depend des arrivées ( si plein d'avions arrivent en même temps ) les chauffeurs en principe sont reglos car ils sont contractuels avec l'aéroport et il y a un numero de tel pour telephoner si on est mécontent si il n'y apas trop de trafic, cela reste très bon marché une alternative expliquée plus avant par Sabina est de prendre les blancs, mais je n'ai jamais testé par contre, évite les prépayés.

Bonsoir,
Pour notre arrivée (fin d' aprem) ça avait été 1h1/2 de file pour les jaunes.....On avait oublié le ''plan'' de monter aux départs.
La seconde fois, ça a fonctionné sans soucis (donc avec les blancs).
Mais il est sûr qu'on a rarement eu autant d'''histoires taxis'' que dans cette ville du monde. Beaucoup d'arnaque et de no-meter.
Bon, après tu peux toujours refuser. Tu n'es pas prise en otage 😄
Fais au feeling. Pas les prépayés, ça c'est sur. Bon voyage en tout cas. Sabina

1h30 d'attente pour un taxi ? Quel terminal ?
Personnellement nous arrivons un samedi à 17h00 au T1, vous pensez que l'attente sera longue ? Parce que mon timing est très serré pour prendre le bus en direction de Banaue.

au T1 je n'ai jamais attendu un taxi très longtemps et en novembre pratiquement pas de queue. mais depuis 3 ans je vais directement au T2 ou T3 pour un transfert vers cebu ou puerto princesa. c'est au T3 qu'il y a la queue parce que très peu de taxi. mais j’ai vu qu'il y a des bus qui vont en ville.

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. 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!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
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’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.

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! !
Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)
