Bonjour à tous,
Je recherche grossiste sur Bangkok pour importer des bijoux en argent et divers, avec bon rapport qualité prix. Comme je passe sur Bangkok au moi d’octobre cette année je voudrai profiter sur place pour passez directement la commande chez le commerçant.
Si vous pouvez m’aiguiller, me donner des adresses ou contacts je serrai ravis de votre aide.
En vous remerciant d’avance de votre sympathie.
Cordialement,
Jp

Il y a aussi Sam Peng dans certains endroits. Mais plus pour l'or dans ce quartier bien sur...
Mais les commerçants de Kao San son habitues a l'export et peuvent le faire facilement (en plus la poste est a 2 pas)....
Pour d'autres raisons : attention a varier le contenu du colis.... Et a la date d'envoi.... Une lettre dedans pour les cadeaux de la famille.... Sinon la douane pourrait penser que vous faites du commerce et a la réception du colis vous demander une taxe....🙁🙁🙁

Il y a Silom Road et Charoen Krung, 2 rues ou se trouvent des tas de grossistes de bijoux en argent, or et pierres precieuses et semi-precieuses. A Kao san Road..et le salon du bijoux au Muang tong Thani a BKK 2 fois par an fin fevrier debut mars, et debut octobre. Regarder dans internet....Interessant, de nombreux bijoutiers du monde entier y exposent et une bonne palette de ce que l'on peut trouver sur BKK, Chiang mai....
tu peux aussi essayer le sous sol du pratunam center

Bonjour,

bonjour
je revien de thailand et comme toi j'ai cherche des bijoux, sauf que moi je cherchais des bijoux fantaisie bon marche. apres avoir fais bangkok et chiang mai je pense que pour des bijoux en argent tu devrais t'orienter sur chiang mai ou tu trouvera facilement des fabricants et non pas des grossiste.
quand a moi (desole saparot je passe mon message lol) je repart en thailand dans 2 semaine pour finaliser un achat de bijoux fantaisie, alors si quelqu'un a des adresses a me donne je suis archie preneur !! j'ai trouve pas mal de bijoux bon marche a sam peng mais si vous connaissez d'autre lieu allez y...
bonjour
je vais ouvrir une petite boutique en nouvelle calédonie et moi aussi je pars en thailande,
auriez vous qq conseils et surtout quelques ficelles qui pourraient me faciliter la tache, je voudrais des vetements, accessoires, maroquinerie, bijoux argent...
je vous remercie infiniement

le post de saparot date de 2008 .🤪.
pour une boutique .. bien sur chacun a ses petits secrets, 😉 mais en général sa se passe comme cela ..
la personne se débrouille pour être a Bangkok le week end .. et fait un tour a Cahuchuchat qui est pour les professionnels le plus grand show room en thailande .. mais n'achète rien . il emmagasine comme disent si bien nos amis québécois .😉. pourquoi chachuchat ?? parce que il y a les derniers produits .. du coin , et tendance comme le langage de la mode le dit
- une fois repérer les produits il faut aller a la chasse au gros ou demis gros 🤪🤪.. sachant que a chachuchat il y en a qui font du demi ..
puis viens la période . je dors parmi les énormes sacs en plastiques .. ( a la limite de la décharge du coin ) puis l'expédition ..
une chose ( pour ceux qui vont se lancer dans l'aventure . ) bien prendre les cartes de visites des produits intéresser ..
car a bkk il y a ce qui on appelle des traideurs .. ces gens la sont ou a la journée de travail ou au pourcentage .. eux peuvent faire ce que les grands font .. , , , , , << travailler en flux continu .>>> c'est a dire avoir un minimum de stock ( la peste du commerce ) .. et surtout éviter de se planter en achetant trop ..
ce traideurs il y en a de toutes sortes , du professionnel qui va vous dire désolé vous étés trop petit 🙁.. jusqu'à l'étranger qui est la sans réel plans. avec un visa touriste sur son passeport .. et qui fait cela pour pouvoir payer sa bière le soir venu ..
pas évident tout cela ... .. quant dans ce domaine le secret est <<< la confiance ..>>> ( car tout professionnel vous le diront .. pas question de passer commande directement au marchant . il faut un vérificateur ..
mais .. il y a des personnes honnêtes qui marche bien .. le petit truc a faire est demander si ils sont enregistré officiellement et si possible en France ..😉
mais oui les produits made in thailande ( pas tous ) . sont très attractifs .. ( j'ai conu un corse ( encore eux ...) qui pouvait marger X 10 !!!! 😎 si on sait acheter , expédier, et faire du flux continu
pour ce qui est de l'artisanat .. faire un tour a chachuchat puis aller a Chang mai .. les prix sont meilleurs .. et l'ambiance aussi ..
bonne chasse au trésor !!!! ps tu mentionne l'argent .. fait attention verifier ce que il faut faire .. car la législation est pas évidente .. les repères pour l'argent sont relativement simple .. le gramme actuellement est entre 15 et 20 bt a bangkok ( légèrement mois a chang mai ) tu pèse ta bague favorite et tu vois le prix thai .. 😉

Pour toutes informations sur les frais de douanes, n'hésitez pas à les contacter.
Concernant la législation sur les matières précieuses, il faut en plus de la douane, se renseigner auprès du bureau de garantie dont vous dépendez.

Salut, je sais que le message date...
A bangkok, Pratunam est connu pour ses grossistes en fringues;
pour Sam Peng, ce sont les accessoires tels que bijoux fantaisies, des fringues, matériels de bureaux, jouets "occidentaux" pour enfants...on trouve de tout excepté le mobilier, les animaux. Il a là aussi des grossistes.
Chatuchak est un marché énorme, le week end il y a des discounts sur la plupart des produits, puis vers 5h de l'après-midi, les prix descendent encore plus. Vous pouvez faire de bonne affaires, voire de très bonnes affaires, le hic...c'est que vous pouvez vous perdre dans ce dédale et y passer beaucoup de temps.
Vous aurez ensuite besoin d'un transitaire pour expédier vos achats - si vous n'avez pas assez de place dans vos valises - vers l'étranger que ça soit vers l'Europe, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, la polynésie, la Réunion, la Martinique etc. Je vous conseille alors un transitaire Seafly services :
http://fr.seafly-services.com/freight-quote.html
Deux raisons pour contacter un transitaire : - il s'occupe du dédouanement et du fret; - effectuant des groupages, il propose des prix intéressants;
Ups, Dhl ne sont pas des transitaires.

Est-ce que vous avez ds infos mises a jour ? merci.
Bonjour,
Oui a propos de mise a jour, quelqu'un connait-il le prix de l'argent (en bijoux) en ce moment en Thailande?
Merci😉

Bonjour ,
nombreux conseils et avis trouvés sur le forum , c'est donc à mon tour de contribuer modestement .
Nous avons passé en famille un peu plus de 2 semaines avec comme programme Hanoi 5 jours
Baie d'Halong 3 jours et 2 nuits
Tam coc 3 jours
Mai Chau 2 jours
Sapa 3 jours
Vélos , scooters, grab et bus pour les déplacements.
Hébergements principaux en homestay et hôtels sur Hanoi.
Nombreux musées , temples et quartiers sur Hanoi visités
Trek de 2 jours et 1 nuit sur Sapa avec May de la minorité Hmong en direct et sans agence .
Plusieurs petits regrets , temps couvert et pas de possibilité d'aller au Fansipan mais rien de grave 😉, pas pu trouver de transport pour rejoindre Mu Cang Chai de Sapa .
À part cela , ce voyage restera gravé dans nos mémoires pour la gentillesse des vietnamiens , les rencontres faites , la nourriture ( rue , homestays...) , les cafés 😋, les paysages , la facilité pour se déplacer ....
Notre volonté était de prendre notre temps et de nous consacrer uniquement à une petite partie du Nord Vietnam.
Si vous avez besoins de conseils ou d'adresse n'hésitez pas.
Au plaisir .

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!
hi everyone,
I want to travel in the north for 3 weeks in September-October 2026 to meet ethnic minorities, photograph mountain rice terraces and their harvest, and revisit Halong Bay—but maybe Lan Ha Bay instead. Can you recommend one or more local agencies?
Thanks, and happy holidays!
Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
Hi there, we’re landing at Hanoi Airport and would like to head straight to Cao Bang without going into Hanoi. Does anyone know if there are buses that go directly from the airport to Cao Bang (especially in the early afternoon)? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling. For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees? We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo. Thanks for your tips and help!

Hi everyone,
Could you share your thoughts on my 3-week itinerary?
We’re a small group (family + friends) of 12 people, planning to leave around January 21, 2027.
Here’s my itinerary:
3 nights in Bangkok
4 nights in Chiang Mai
3 nights on Koh Samui
3 nights on Koh Phangan
4 nights in Krabi
4 nights in Phuket
I’m also open to any great tips you might have...
Thanks, everyone! Alain.
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!!!

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.
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!

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 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.

Thanks for any suggestions or help!
