Comme promis, voilà un résumé de notre voyages et nos bons plans,
merci d'avoir répondu à mes nombreuses questions et inquiétudes avant le départ, en tout cas, ce que je peux confirmer, c'est que la Thailande quoi qu'on en dise, est un pays magnifique qui ne peut que vous marquer.
Nous sommes partis sacs à dos, ce qui reste sans doute le moyen le plus facile de se déplacer si on a décidé de visiter la Thailande (évidemment si vous décidez de passer 3 semaines à Samui, c'est une autre histoire...) par contre je l'avoue, nous n'avons pas séjournés dans des guest houses, mais dans des hotels et resorts, c'est un choix.
Notre parcours :
- Bangkok 3 jours,
beaucoup de balades dans les quartiers, marché aux amulettes, visite du grand palais, boudha couché, balade sur les khlongs pour remonter le chao praya (je suis certaine qu on s est fait rouler sur le prix enfin peu importe...), massage à conseiller absolument à l'école de massage du wat po, absolument fabuleux, l'endroit est un peu bizare j ai hésité à y rentrer et pourtant c est tres pro et extrèmement bien fait pour 250 bahts (5 euros) et les gens y sont adorables comme partout d'ailleurs
dans le quartier grand palais et boudha couché nous nous sommes bien entendu fait accoster par des pseudos guides, il suffit de continuer sa route sans s'arrêter, de se retourner 5 mètres plus loin pour voir que cela a pris sur qqn d'autre et de bien en rire...
- après bangkok nous devions partir vers Ayuthaya en train, grève des train le jour de notre départ, nous avons donc pris le car, moi qui était réticente, je peux vous assurer que c est une expérience, nous étions les seuls touristes, il était 5H30 du matin, formidable, nous nous sommes retrouvés avec les écoliers, les employés se rendant au travail etc.... magnifique
ayuthaya nous avons rencontré un chauffeur de tuk tuk à banquette fabuleux et sa femme, environ la cinquantaine, parlant bien l'anglais il nous a fait visiter les endroits principaux, encore une fois nous étions seuls, aucun touristes (7h30 du matin) à faire!!
nous avons ensuite pris le car à nouveau à ayuthaya vers sukhotai (6heures environ)
à un prix ridiculeusement bas, lunch compris, arrivée à sukhotai nosu sommes entrés dans une pluie torrentielle quelle expérience! la pluie coulait à travers le toit du bus mais tout s est bien passé, le chauffeur était très prudent et ils roulent à 2 pour se relayer.
- Je ne saurais que vous conseiller Sukhotai qui à mon sens est fantastique, déjà pour ses temlples (patrimoine de l unesco) mais également pour la ville minuscule mais charmante dans laquelle il faut évidemment ne pas hésiter à louer un vélo pour se déplacer et aller manger au coffee house de délilcieux plats thais
après sukhotai (2 jours) nous sommes partis vers chiang mai en train de nuit,
alors là, j'ai cherché longtemps et j'ai demandé sur ce forum conseil mais impossible visiblement de réserver les tickets 1st classe via le net,
j ai fait confiance à une agence fait un payement via paypal pour 2 tickets première
et à notre arrivée à Bangkok le premier jour, une enveloppe nous attendait avec les tickets, cette agence a tjs été très pro, répondu à mes mails rapidement je vous transmets les coordonnées en tout cas, n hésitez pas, la livraison a l hotel est gratuite, ok ils demande un petit fee pour les tickets mais cela n est vraiment pas grand chose!

je n'ai pas d'actions dans cette agence je vous assure mais je pense que cela pourra aider certains, voilà donc, train de nuit pris à la garde de pitshanuloke à 1h34 du matin ou nous étions encore les seuls toursites entourés il faut bien dire à cette heure de tous les zinzins du quartiers, très inoffensifs cependant, plutôt des sans abris, qui dormaient sur les bancs, la gare est évidemment en plein air, et quand le train arrive, le garde se lève pour sonner la cloche, bref à mourrir de rire, on se saurait cru dans une série, en plus les gardes regardent la tv dehors avec tous les zinzins qui s'agglutinent autour du poste :)
étant donné que nous étions les seuls touristes ils se sont super bien oqp de nous (faut dire que nous avons patientés 2 heures)
le train de nuit c est une expérience, vétuste mais draps propres, difficile de dormir mais vraiment chouette par contre la clim ne nous a pas dérangés,
le train a mis plus de temps que prévu à cause de problèmes techniques (11heures au lieu de 8)
peu importe, c est super agréable comme tout le monde le dit d arriver vers chiang mai et de voir le lever du soleil, deuxième arnaque je pense nous avons payé notre déjeuner alors qu on n y a pas touché bref sachez que c est payant!
- arrivés à chiang mai ( nous avons recontrés un chauffeur de taxi fantastique Monsieur A-j ai ses coordonnées si vous voulez, qui nous a fait faire le tour de ce que nous voulions voir, il parle super bien anglais est drôle et très honnete, nous lui avosn demander d aller voir les rizières et les paysans et ils nosu a amené à l'aventure) assez européanisée (burger king, mac do, hagen daz) bref on ne s attendait pas à cela et nous avons du nous y habituer, restés 5 jours, au final c était super, visite de l elephant camp parce que oui, mê me si cela fait un peu zoo c est toujours super, de la ville, des temples , de nombreux moines organisent des tables rondes pour amélioerer leur anglais allez y!! on est restés 1 heure à parler avec eux on a fini par prendre leurs adresses mails !
si vous voulez vous faire faire des vêtements, je vous conseille "Jolie femme", qualité et service magnifique 130 euros pour costumes sur mesures en cachemire, robes en soies sur mesures et dessinées par moi 50 euros alors oui certains diront que c est super cher peut être mais moi j ai pas trouvé, ils vous amène et ramène à l hotel et parlent français
- après chiang mai avion direction samui là bas, rien à signaler, c'est pas la gloire, nosu sommes restés à l hotel pour nous reposer, et franchement, le centre ne nous a pas plus du tout (nous étions a choeng moen plus au nord ou il est vrai la plage n est pas terrible mais cela nous a bien convenu)
si vous avez des questions n hésitez pas
nosu avons eu 2 soirs de pluie le reste grand soleil
bien sûr il fait super chaud et humide, avoir de bons vêtements respirants, (north face fait ça entre autre) et cela ne sert à rien de prendre toute sa garde robe, on fait laver son linge partout pour pas cher
nous sommes partis avec Etihad, c était fantastique super compagnie
voilà, j'epsère que vous ne vous êtes pas endormis, n'hésitez pas si vous avez des questions, la Thailande est super acceuillante et les thais supers, nous n'oublierons jamais les gens qui ont croisés notre chemin ils nous ont tous apportés quelque chose, en tout cas je peux vous dire qu'aujourd'hui, nous voyons la vie autrement!
Ayutaya et Sukotai sont similaires : de vieux temples encore plus depaysants que les nouveaux temples fleurissants partouts... Bref c'est une etape incontournable !!! Si tu veux ne pas faire les deux, soit tu t'arretes de suite a aytaya, soit tu restes une journée de plus a bangkok des ton arrivée et puis tu files vers sukotai...
Nous allons faire notre second periple en Thailande en septembre...Vivement !!
Ayuttaya et Sokothai sont franchement différents l'un de l'autre !
Dans le premier cas, il s'agit de temples et de ruines dispersés dans la ville, dans le deuxième d'un parc complètement à l'écart de toute habitation.
Et les deux se visitent de façon très différente !
Du fait de la ville, passer une nuit à Ayuttaya est une très belle expérience. On peut y accéder en bateau de Bangkok ou de Bang Pa Inn et poursuivre ensuite son voyage vers Sukotahi en bus, Chiang Mai en train ou Kanchanaburi en bus...
Sukothai peut se visiter en une seule demi journée, à condition de s'y rendre de bon matin, c'est un endroit exceptionnel !
si les vieilles pierres et l'histoire vous gonfle sous un soleil de plons OUi c'est pareille
mais si on aime l'histoire et ses vieilles pierres c'est totalement différent ..

Bonjour, je pars en Thaîlande dans 2 semaines et j'ai plein de questions à te poser! Pourrais-je t'envoyer un mail directement sur ta boite mail afin de faciliter notre conversation, si tu es d'accord bien entendu.🙂
Nous partons en début d'année à Chiang Mai et nous serions intéressé par les coordonées de ton chauffeur de taxi. Quel est le pris pour la journée ?
Merci

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 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

April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap

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.

21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

04/10: Travel to Denpasar, flight to Labuan Bajo, overnight in Labuan Bajo
05/10: Komodo cruise
06/10: Komodo cruise
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!
