Bonjour, voila je compte découvrir un peu la Thaïlande prochainement ...
Je ne me fixe pas un itinéraire statique, de sorte a être assez libre dans mon "aventure" la-bas.
Alors il me vient une question :
1) Est-il difficile de trouver un hotel au jour le jour en Thaïlande (tout endroit confondu en général) ?
2) A mon arrivé a Bangkok, (je n'ai pas encore acheter les billets), je chercherais (selon vos connaissances) un hôtel vraiment pas cher a Bangkok (avec une douche de preference, et sans bestiole dans le matelat, le reste aussi sommaire soit-il me conviendra), et pas trop compliquer a trouver en arrivant de l’aéroport et pas trop loin du centre (l’aéroport est-il d’ailleurs loin du centre ville ?)
Je compte rester a Bangkok 3,4 jours pour visiter, avec le premier jour assez cool, avion oblige (Est-ce suffisant ?), et 1 mois en Thailande pour en voir l'essentiel (Est-ce aussi suffisant ?)
D’ailleurs je n'ai pas encore regarder, mais y'a t'il possibilité d'arrivé autre part qu'a l’aéroport de Bangkok, cad a un autre aéroport en Thaïlande (a condition que ce soit moins cher ou pas plus ?)
1) Est-il difficile de trouver un hotel au jour le jour en Thaïlande (tout endroit confondu en général) ?
salut pas de problème sauf sur certaines îles ou tout le monde s'agglutine , , ( c'est la mode .........🤪 )
2) A mon arrivé a Bangkok, (je n'ai pas encore acheter les billets), je chercherais (selon vos connaissances) un hôtel vraiment pas cher a Bangkok (avec une douche de preference, et sans bestiole dans le matelat, le reste aussi sommaire soit-il me conviendra), et pas trop compliquer a trouver en arrivant de l’aéroport et pas trop loin du centre (l’aéroport est-il d’ailleurs loin du centre ville ?)
c'est quoi le critère pour toi pas cher?? rien n'est compliquer en thailande , , c'est bien le royaume du service , ,
Je compte rester a Bangkok 3,4 jours pour visiter, avec le premier jour assez cool, avion oblige (Est-ce suffisant ?), et 1 mois en Thailande pour en voir l'essentiel (Est-ce aussi suffisant ?)
vaste questions , , certains de diront ville polluée agressif , , arnaque en tout genre 1 jours suffit ( en général ceux la n'ont rien compris a cette mégapole qui offre de tout et qui est impossible a classifier , , )
d'autres ne peuvent pas s'en passer , , ( genre rats de villes ) qui aime tout ce qui grouille aime l'être humain avec ses défauts et qualité , , mais aussi si on connais un peut il ya des coins ou on se dit es bien bangkok ici ?? voir ce link d'un photographe qui prépare un livre , , http://digitalsouvenir.com/lesklongs/
je crois que bangkok est tellement personnel que il est impossible calculer en temps ce que il faut , ,
D’ailleurs je n'ai pas encore regarder, mais y'a t'il possibilité d'arriver autre part qu'a l’aéroport de Bangkok, cad a un autre aéroport en Thaïlande (a condition que ce soit moins cher ou pas plus ?)
je crains que c'est bangkok le moins cher , , , , , , , , , 🤪

Je ne suis pas sûr qu'un mois suffise pour dire haut et fort: "j'ai fais la Thaïlande !".
Ou alors il faudra selon moi se mettre en mode "Speedy Gonzalès" ce qui est stupide si on veut s'imprégner
un tant soit peu de la culture Thaï.
Pour ma part j'y ai séjourné 3 semaines, j'ai pris mon temps et ne le regrette pas.
Il me reste donc encore beaucoup de choses à découvrir dans ce pays.
Comme tu m'as l'air d'être du genre routard au profil sac à dos, tongues et qui compte ses sous comme moi 😎
je te recommande un hotel que j'ai plusieurs fois fréquenté à Bangkok pas loin du parc Lumpini.
Tungmahamek Privacy Hotel
31 Ngam Doo Pli Road
C'est spacieux, très bien équipé pour le prix (de mémoire dans les 530 Bahts) avec douche (eau chaude), clim, TV, ... et c'est très propre.
C'est d'ailleurs une chose qui m'a frappé, les Thaïlandais sont propres et soigneux !
Après c'est très facile de se loger à Bangkok pour tous les prix. Si ça ne plaît pas tu fais 20 mètres (j'exagère un peu mais pas tellement 😏) et tu changes,
c'est vraiment très très facile.
Très bon voyage. Tu verras la Thaïlande au début c'est complètement déroutant pour un occidental comme nous. Mais quand tu la quittes, tu n'as qu'une hâte
c'est d'y retourner.
e te recommande un hotel que j'ai plusieurs fois fréquenté à Bangkok pas loin du parc Lumpini.
Tungmahamek Privacy Hotel
31 Ngam Doo Pli Road
salut dans ce coin pour les nantis , , 850 bt , , il ya la hansaah chez jac mais a peine que elle est ouverte ( presque 1 an ) que elle est souvent pleine , , 🤪🤪

Bonsoir,
Il est hyper facile de trouver un hôtel à BKK, mais préfèrez un endroit près du Sky train qui vous mênera un peu partout. Pour aller à kao San road lieu touristique, là il n'y a pas de Sky train mais vous aller à la station Takin, puis avec le bateau vous fait un bon bout la rivière et vous arrivez à Kao San Road. Là vous trouvez dans la rue ou dans les environs plein de logements, mais les guides sont très précis à ce sujet.
De l'aéroport, il y a des bus A1, A2, A3 qui vous mênent dans différents coins de BKK la dernière fois que je les ai pris, ils étaient à 190 Baths. Mais si vous êtes deux les taxis ne sont pas plus cher. Nous avons payé du centre à l'aéroport 270 Baths. C'est je crois à env 60 kms.
A BKK une chambre pour 2 pers tourne autour de 500 Baths. Pour des endroits comme le nord on peut facilement trouver à 150 baths pour 2 pers des fois même moins. Cha-Ham env 800 Bahts, mais il y a moins classe. Pukket tout au fond bungalow à 500 Baths, autrement petits trucs dans les guides. Ko Samui env 450 Baths. Chang Mai env 400 Baths. Mais vous pouvez dégotter des trucs vraiment pas cher.
Et louer des motos pour visiter c'est pas cher et super. Attention aux coups de soleil ( Insolation à moto ) et buvez beaucoup. D'autres Internautes ne manqueront pas de vous donner tout plein de conseils et de rectifier les miens.
La Hansaah Guesthouse est très bien aussi. Jac et Pom les propriétaires sont d'un accueil et d'une gentillesse exemplaires. Jac est d'origine Française et cela aide bcp pour avoir des bons conseils sur Bangkok et la Thaïlande. Je recommande. Les 2 guesthouses Tungmahamek Privacy Hotel et Hansaahsont en gros à 150 m l'une de l'autre. A noter que la rue de la Hansaah est plutôt étroite et est très fréquentée par les voitures et les 2 roues. En revanche celle-ci est vraiment pratique question commerces. Sur 100 mètres il y a de nombreux petits restos, 2 pharmacies, 2 cybercafés (celui à côté de la Hansaah est bien équipé en matériel, ce qui n'est pas tjrs le cas en Thaïlande), des bars, un coiffeur, un seven/eleven qui comme son nom ne l'indique pas est ouvert toute la nuit (on y trouve un peu de tout: clopes, bouffe, expressos, coton-tiges, shampoing, etc). Et j'en oublie 😉
Bref, ce quartier était en quelque sorte mon QG à Bangkok entre 2 excursions vers d'autres provinces.
bonjour,
c'est très facile de trouver un hôtel sur place, surtout à bgk. d'ailleurs c'est mieux car vous pourrez visiter la chambre et même négocier son prix si elle vous convient...

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).
Bonjour à tous,
pouvez vous me donner vos avis sur mon itinéraire de 3 semaines.
nous sommes un petit groupe (famille + amis) 12 personnes, nous envisageons de partir vers le 21 Janvier 2027.
voici mon itinéraire:
3 nuits Bangkok
4 nuits Chang Mai
3 nuits Koh Samui
3 nuits Koh Phangan
4 nuis Krabi
4 nuits Phuket
Si suis également preneur de tout vos bon plan....
Merci à tous, Alain.
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.
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!!!

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 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

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.

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! !
