Je compte aller à Angkor (octobre 2007) deupis BKK et souhaiterait connaitre le meilleur moyen pour y aller ? Je privilegie l'avion et je crois que c'est une des destinations de Bangkok Airways. Merci de me dire combien y rester (je pensais a 4/5 jours) pour ce seul endroit, quels sont les infrastructures hotelieres et sont elles d'aussi bonne qualité qu'en Thailande (ce dont je doute), les moyens pour se deplacer (location d'une moto possible ?) et les divers ordres de prix (budget confort) . Bref les éléments que vous jugerez utiles pour me guider au mieux.

Salut😉
oui, y a l'avion, mais je sais plus le prix et la compagnie🤪
Par contre, c'est vite fait!!!!
Tu peux faire ton visa à l'aéroport de Siem Reap pour 30USD et il faut des photos!!!
Le pass pour 3 jours au temples d'Angkor est à 40USD et il faut aussi une photo d'identitée!!!
Pour les hotels, pas de soucis, ils sont peu etre un peu +cher mais bien
tiens celui la est sympa, et la patronne Khmer parle français et ce fera un plaisir de te refiler son guide et de te faire à manger😛!!! attention la papaye verte et poivrée peut donner mal au ventre😄😏 mais pas les fleures de bananier😉😄
Tuk Tuk ou moto mais je sais plus les tarifs!!!
Les Cambodgiens sont super sympa et n'hésite pas à discuter avec eux et à manger dans les bouibouis aux pieds des temples!!!
Par contre tu peu payer en USD la bas mais il faut des ptites coupures sinon tu attendra souvent ta monnaie😉
A part ça, il me reste qu'a te souhaiter un bon voyage😎
Un voyage de mille lis a commencé par un pas. (Lao-Tseu ; 1 lis=ancienne mesure chinoise équivalente a 576m définie des la dynastie Qin, mais qui variait selon la région et l'époque, valeur actuelle 500m, le li est une mesure coréenne d'environ 3920m)
pour les pti curieux!!! le chien subliminaleeu
Si tu as le temps, tu peux passer par Phnom Penh, l'avion avec air asia est moins cher, tu y passes un ou 2 jours puis tu rejoins Siem Reap en bus en 5 heures (12$) ou en bateau en 6 heures( c'est un peu fou!! pas confortable et stressant à mon goût) (25$). La route est très belle.
Tu peux passer 3 jours à visiter les temples d'Angkor puisque le pass fait 20$ pour 1 jour, 40$ pour 2 ou 3 jours, il y a des chauffeurs de tuk tuk qui parlent français, il y a aussi le village sur pilotis de Komplong Pluk où le tuk tuk t'emmène et tu continues en moto jusqu'au bateau qui te fais visiter le village et faire un tour sur le Tonle Sap, c'est à voir, peu de touristes connaissent.
la capacité hotelière de la ville double chaque année, tu as maintenant un vaste choix d'hotel de la guest au pas cher avec piscine ou cher norme internationnale.
en octobre tu commenceras à avoir les prix de la haute saison mais tu peux te loger pour 15$, si tu veux avec piscine il te faut compter 30$.
tu manges entre 2 et 5 $ sans compter les boissons
les tuk tuk te coûtent entre 1/2 $ et 1 $ pour aller en centre ville
pour le site d'angkor, le tuk tuk te coûtera entre 12$ et 15$ par jour pour les temple proche et entre 18$ et 25 $ pour les temples lointains.
pour la location, tu ne peux plus louer (interdit aux étrangers)
pour arriver jusqu'à Angkor à partir de BKK bus jusqu'à la frontière puis douane puis bus jusqu'à Siem Reap, il est préférable de dire que tu as déjà un hotel sinon grosse arnaque avion Bkk Siem reap avion BKK PP puis bus jusqu'à Siem Reap
c'est une question de budget mais attention si tu ne comptes pas tes dollars il est préférable de mettre 20 ou 30 dollars de plus et gagner 12h de transport.
J'arrive en effet a la meme conclusion pour le gain de temps : j'ai egalement compris que la monnaie locale est le $ et que les prix sont sensiblement plus elevés qu'en Thailande... notamment les tuk-tuks...

le vélo est super moyen de transport entre 5h30 & 8h ensuite il faut plutôt être habitué, fou, parceque avec des températures autour de 40° moi j'avoue ne pas pouvoir.
Bjr,
Oui il y a une ligne aérienne BKK - Siem Reap avec bangkok airways
Pour les hotels aucun problème et à tous les prix, à Siem reap il y a des chantiers de construction d'hotels partout. Le plus beau et je crois de toute l'asie le Hotel Angkor village dans le centre de Siem Reap va voir leur site internet
Sinon trés sympa hotel Bopha et la Villa loti dans Siem reap tout les deux, sites internet également
pour se déplacer tuc tuc (mobylette avec une charette) ou moto ou vélo
4/5 jour c'est bien pour avoir un apperçu
A+ pour d'autre infos
hello
siem reap a des infrastructure de reve. pour tous les budgets.
les hotels pour routards aux hotels de luxe tu trouves des hotels hyper confort avec piscine pour moins de 20 dollars.
le different moyen de transport pour les temples vont du velo qui coute de 1 a ddeux dollars par jour
au velo electrique environ 4 dollars.
tu as des motorbike avec chauffeur et des tuk tuk
il existe un petit et un grand tour pour visiter les temples.
mais il faut aussi voir des temples comme banteay srei ou le groupe des roluos qui sont de belles excursions et sont parmi les plus belles promenades dans la campagne autour de siem reap.
il y a aussi beng melea qui se trouve un peu loin mais la route est si jolie<
en gros pour un tuk tuk tu comptes 10 dollars petit tour.
15 dollars grand tour
grand tours banteay srei 25 dollars
les roluos dans les dix dollars. l ideal c est de faire ne plus une excursion dans le village flottant de kompong pluck
bateau 20 dollars
la region de siem reap est fabuleuse il ne faut pas hesiter a mettre de l argent dans les transport quitte a tirer sur le budget nourriture et logement.
des hotels comme la noria sont confortable piscine >> pour cinquante dollars, emplacement super.
tu as de bons restaurants en peu partout dans la ville.
les billets aller retour pour bangkok sont une solution bien plus confortable que le bus.
tu compte le prix du billet et les taxes d aeroport de 25 dollars au depart de siem reap
par contre tu gagne pour le visa
qui coute que 20 dollars direct a l aeroport pas besoin de l acheter en france.
les bus sont de tres mauvaises qualites le traget est tres inconfortables tu es confriontes a des arnaques qui ennervent et il n y a pas de bons bus, ils mentent dans les agences a bangkok croit moi sur parole,
venir par la route reste tres peu cher par contre alors cela depend du budget.
en gros
pour le budget transport
tu comptes pour un tuk tuk
dans les cinquante dollars pour trois supers jours. c est la solution ideale le tuk tuk est vraiment le plus sympas.
tu peux faire le petit tour a velo, et reduire le budget.
pour le budget logement tu peux aller de 4 dollars a 100 dollars
je te conseilles au milieu
40 a 50 dollars par nuit
la noria est super, emplacement piscine et charme
sinon le pavillon indochine a l air sympa
Bonjour,
je confirme le "Pavillon Indochine" est super; le patron est francais, il répond trés vite sur le site internet et est surtout de trés bon conseil; les employés aux petits soins, la piscine agréable, les repas trés bons. Un peu en dehors de la ville (2 km) sur la route des temples;Bref que du bonheur

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 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. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.

22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
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!
