Bonjour
Je pars avec mon époux du 2 au 23 septembre
Nous sommes seuls et voulions visiter Bangkok puis prendre le train vers le nord et se rendre au Cambodge pour voit angkor et finir sur ko phan gan
Ma question est au niveau sécurité
Actuellement sur la carte du gouvernement beaucoup de pays sont déconseillés
Avez vous déjà été confronté à cela
Merci

Bonjour,
A votre place, je m'inquièterais plus pour le climat que pour la sécurité.
Pays déconseillés : je suis effectivement confronté à cela car je suis rentré en France.
Soyez prudents sur la boisson et la nourriture au Cambodge, souvent des gens y tombent malades.

Effectivement en France c est chaud mais aucun des attentats derniers sural thailande et le moustique !!!!
De toute façon on ne peut plus changer de destination
Même avec nos assurances !!!!

C'était une façon de dire qu'on n'est pas plus en danger là-bas.
En toute logique, ce n'est pas forcément là où chronologiquement il y a eu le dernier attentat que c'est le plus dangereux...
Je ne parlais pas forcément des attentats mais de l'insécurité en général.
Pour le climat, c'est la période septembre-novembre qui est la plus délicate en Asie du sud-est. Quant aux moustiques, il y en a plus dans le jardin que ce qu'on rencontre en Asie

Merci de votre réponse
Par contre rien à voir avec la précédente discussion au vu de vos séjours en thailande qu est il important à ne pas rater
Et deuxième t faut il être à jour de l hépatite A et de la typhoïde et doit on prendre un anti Palu !
Merci

En cliquant sur mon pseudo vous trouvez mes récits détaillés. Après c'est à vous de faire vos choix en fonction de vos goûts. Il y a quand même une bonne partie du pays que nous n'avons pas vue.
Franchement il est préférable d'avoir les vaccins de base. Nous n'avons jamais pris d'anti palu à cause des effets secondaires. Le paludisme est confiné à quelques zones frontalières de jungle.

Bonjour,
Si vous appliquez une vigilance de base en Thaïlande et au Cambodge , vous ne devriez pas avoir de problème . 🙂
Comme l'a dit Jojoone , c'est plutôt point de vue climatique que la période de votre voyage n'est pas des meilleures . Attendez-vous à de la pluie , et au pire ( j'ai bien dit au pire , hein , pas plus ) à des glissements de terrain à cause de l'accumulation des pluies .

Il est vrai que lorsque nous sommes partis en Inde en août 2013 nous avons eu une très forte mousson et rentrés avec la tourista!!!

L'insécurité est nettement plus faible en Thaïlande et au Cambodge qu'en France.
Pour le risque d'attentat, comment savoir s'il y a plus de risque ici que là...
Anti palu en préventif : je confirme c'est inutile sur cette zone, à moins vraiment de partir au fin fond de la forêt vers la frontière birmane...
Voir avant de partir un médecin qui s'y connait en médecine tropicale comme ça vous ferez les bons vaccins et vous partirez tranquilles.
D'août à octobre, clairement, c'est la période où il pleut le plus. Assez souvent il fait quand même beau le matin et il pleut l'après midi. Ca limite les activités, notamment le côté mer... Bonne période par contre pour visiter des lieux ultra bondés comme Angkor car un peu moins de monde qu'en saison (décembre-mars).

Bonjour, Pourrais-je avoir le lien vers la carte du gouvernement? Merci d'avance. Pour la Thaïlande: -le risque d'attentat est élevé, mais en France aussi. -les vaccins recommandés sont les mêmes qu'en France. -pas de traitement anti-palu pour des séjours touristiques basiques. -140 000 cas de dengue en 2015, 126 morts. Répulsifs corporels anti-moustiques impératifs (le moustique pique de l'aube au crépuscule), vêtements couvrants, traités à la perméthrine éventuellement. -le pic de dengue est en saison des pluies naturellement, et vous y serez. Ce pic est plus ou moins prononcé suivant la fréquence de ces pluies, évidemment. www.bumrungrad.com/...rtant-Things-to-Know

Bonjour -Vol a l arraché au Cambodge est monnaie courante, ma femme en fut victime a Phnom PENH . Et combien de fois des touristes nous raconte leurs mesaventure , sur les plages et sur la rue en mobylette. A plusieurs fois on en fut temoin et a deux reprises sur la plage de Sihanouk avrc l aide d un ami francais ont a capturé de petits voleurs, a part recupéré le materiel volé , tu les libere, rien d autres a faire, -si tu en parle au policiers, ,ils te rient pratiquement au nez en te disant 'be careful.La solution, securise tes effets en tout temps, aucun bijoux sur toi ni de iPhone apparent et faire comme nous , retourner au Cambodge en 2017 pour une 15 année consecutive et faire comme disent les 'policiers pantins' cambodgiens .BE CAREFUL
Idem en Thaïlande, pickpockets et vols à l'arraché et d'ailleurs on peut y voir des panneaux d'alerte dans les zones marchandes.
Cela dit, le conseil vaut aussi pour la France.
Cela dit, le conseil vaut aussi pour la France.Bonjour, On parle ici du Cambodge, je ne compare pas avec d autres pays, -J ai deux amis policiers que je rencontre tous les ans , le premier est de Boston et son epouse est Cambodgienne et l autre policier New Yorkais, moi meme policier retraité et on est d avis que le Cambodge est dur a battre pour les vols sur la personne et plus particulierement ces dernieres années. Mais nous sommes tous d avis ainsi que plusieurs autres amis qui demeurent pour certain en permanence au Cambodge, -qu, il ne faut surtout pas paranoyer mais d etre vigilent et de continuer a visiter ce beau pays et ses gens chaleureux.-- mon humble opinion , bonne journée a tous les forumistes--
Bonjour, je trouve que c'est une exellente initiative, cette affiche en Thailande concernant les pickpocket

Exact les vols à l'arraché sont fréquents en ville, quelques règles à suivre comme proscrire les sacs en bandoulière, ne pas regarder son téléphone en pleine rue, et ne pas avoir d'affaires trop visibles et accessibles dans les tuk tuk. Ces précautions prises tout devrait bien se passer...
Merci j en prends bonne note

Il y a récemment quelques attentats dans les provinces du sud de la Thaïlande dont Hua Hin est le lieu connu un dommage le plus grave. Mais la situation actuelle est contrôlée par le gouvernent thaï, la sécurité est renforcée et consolidée aux destinations touristiques donc n’inquiétez pas à partir en Thaïlande.
Merci

Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question: Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
Thanks

Hi,
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence. Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?

Hi there,
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...). I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan. I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation. I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Thanks so much for your help!

For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).

Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?

Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
Hi there,
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants. Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist? I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done. Thanks so much!
