Bonjour,
j'avais prévu aller en thailande au début avril, pour y séjourner environ un mois.. j'avais commencé a magasiner mes billets d'Avion.. cependant personnes ne m'avais parlé des attentats terroristes qu'il y a eu dernièrement.
sur le site de l'ambassade canadienne il ne conseille vraiment pas d'aller la bas.. a moins d'y être obliger..
cependant je ne sais pas si les alertes sont a jours.
est ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui revient de la bas..?
et comment ca se passe...?
est ce que c'est si dangereux.. ?
devrais-je annuler mon voyage ?
je m, étais fais a l'idée d'aller la bas... mais plus je lis sur le sujet, plus ca commence a m'inquièter..
on seras 2 filles qui part en voyages en sac a dos ..découvrir le pays.. on veut pas non plus se priver d'aller a des endroits ou nous voulons vraiment visiter
j'Attends vos conseils et commentaires avec impatience..il faut que je me décide dans les prochaines journées, car il reste que quelques billets de disponible..
si je ne vais pas la bas.. je vais aller probablement au vietnam..
merci beaucoup, annie
Pas de panique, les problèmes se trouve tout à fait dans le Sud du pays près de la frontière de la Malaisie, là il faut pas aller, mais le reste tu peux y aller en toute quiétude pas de soucis .
@+ , Marco .
On aura jamais assez de temps pour tout ce qu'on veut découvrir et comprendre dans nos voyages qu'on se le dise , Amis voyageurs .
Il y a une rebellion musulmane dans l'extrême sud-est depuis longtemps mais elle n'a jamais débordé des 4 provinces concernées. La semaine dernière le ministre de la défense Thaï a émis un buletin d'alerte maximum sur Bangkok et Phuket pour ce WE. Ce buletin a été relayé par les ministères canadiens, américain, anglais puis le lendemain français. Chose normale.
Mais ce qu'il faut savoir c'est que le nouveau gouvernement issu du coup d'état est une bande de nullisimes qui ne fait que conneries sur conneries depuis 3 mois et dont le seul qui tenait plus ou moins la route (le ministre de l'économie) a démissioné la semaine dernière. ici, tous les thaïs que je rencontre ainsi que les expatriés prennent cette alerte comme une nouvelle connerie du gouvernement.
Bien sûr, s'il y a réellement des attentats ce WE il faudra réviser cette position !
bah ce n'est pas nouveau et un attentat a annoncez a l'avance vous y croyez ???
Pas de quoi s'affoler le reste n'est qu'une question de chance les 2000 et plus morts depuis janvier 2004 ont eu lieu a 99 % dans le Sud profond, la zone musulmane traditionnellement retive. la probabilite d'etre la au mauvais moment est negligeable...
et n'oubliez pas les 2500 excutions lors de la guerre a la drogue en 2003 (trois mois ) cela ne fit tiquer personne ou presque surtout pas les touristes meme s'i cela ne les concernaient pas.
N'y vas pas trop dangereux, j'y vais pour le songkran et serai armé d'armes de destruction massive telles que bombes a eau et autres armes terribles du meme genre, fais gaffe, tu vas etre mouillé 😉
Tu fonces ou tu investis à construire un bunker dans ton jardin....Personne n'est à l'abri d'une agression gratuite d'un toxico, d'une bombe dans le métro, d'un accident de voiture, d'une chute des escaliers.
A présent, la Thaïlande est plus sûre que le Canada, la France et autres contrées occidentales....Néanmoins, selon des spécialistes boursiers, politologues, et spécialistes des mouvances terroristes: la Thaïlande serait à l'aube de jours sombres et tempétueux: crash boursier, attentat qui toucherait les touristes dans une station balnéaire" eh oui, les terroristes aiment se faire connaître dans le monde", ce ne sont pas les 3000 tués par le pouvoir Thaksin qui touche l'opinion occidentale, décès du monarque, luttes entre clans, ...Eh bien, je conseille de profiter de cette terre tropicale.La Thaïlande est un volcan endormi qui s'apprête à se réveiller d'ici peu
🙂Je parle des agressions envers les touristes.
Evidemment, la Thaïlande n'est pas le pays de cendrillon....Les crimes sont fréquents.Alors quand je lis la plupart des Vf qui admirent le pays magique et dénigrent les contrées occidentales, je m'écroule de rire....😉
Bonjour,
nous étions en ThaÎlande la semaine dernière et la précédente, donc pendant ces attentats mais rien d'inquiétant. Ils ont eu lieu très au sud, sont relativement fréquents, le pays est très calme ( un peu trop, le roi Rama IX est un dieu vivant que l'on adule autant que Bouddha!)
Allez vous faire du balnéaire? ( rien de plus sûr qu'un hôtel de Pukhet!!) ou montez vous comme nous vers le nord, Chaing Rai, Chiang Mai, le Mékong ?
hello. je suis aussi parti en thailand. la derniere fois c'etait l'annee passée. je ne crois pas que tu prenne beaucoup de risque en y allant le terrorisme n'est pas tourné vers les touristes mais plutot vers leurs congénères. les endroits ou il faut faire plus atention sont a la frontiere birman. je pense que l'on t'a déja donné quelques adresses a bangkok mais si tu peux te rendre a kaosan road la bas tu pourra y rencontrer beaucoup de jeunes qui debutent ou finnissent leurs voyage, de toutes les nationalités et eux pouronts te donner les meilleures info. je te souhaite les meilleures vaccances possible, pour moi la thailand est ma destination preferée et lieu de mon tout premier voyage en solo. 😉
A lire un de tes précédents posts, je suppose qu'il ne faut pas aller à Patong ? Ni faire d'achats sur le marché de Patong... Tu as des actions dans les hôtels de Phuket ?
Pôv' bête ! en plus, celui-là, depuis les années qu'il saute, il doit être sacrément dur.
Par contre, tu peux m'apporter des macarons montois quand tu veux ou un pavé (pas de la grand place, ils sont trop durs 😄)
😉 Bonsoir Marco. Pas seulement dans les 4 Provinces du Sud ( au lieu de 3 avant )!
Mais a BANGKOK la tension est sentie aussi ... J ai ete fouille moi-meme et mon sac a dos
avec 16 fois a chaque entree chaque fois que j ai pris le Metro MRT et le Skytrain BTS et
j en ai pris 16 fois ! Fouille par des policiers du rail et des agents de securite tres polis et
courtois et meme tres genes mais ils ont fait tres bien leur boulot et on est un peu rassure
aussi parce que tout le monde y passait ! J ai lu ques les Ambassades d Australie et
de Grande-Bretagne ont publie des Avertissements a leurs citoyens a ne pas visiter
les 4 Provinces du Sud. Dans des Grands Magasins comme le SIAM PARAGON une armee
d agents de securite surveillent les sacs des visiteurs visuellement des yeux avec attention
mais ils ne les fouillent pas ! ... Quand a l Aeroport international ... des Entrees et Sorties
sont fermees pour mieux canaliser les passagers vers les Entrees et Sorties sous controle
par des detecteurs electroniques ! Je suis au LAOS en ce moment mais je finirai par rentrer
en Thailande et faire face avec angoisse a cette atmosphere de tension dans la Capitale.
On ne peut pas se plaindre car nous aussi a Paris, on a notre Plan Vigipirate renforce et les
Thailandais ont le leur maintenant ... Mais s il y a des gens qui veulent aller a KOH LIPE par
exemple ... ils pourront y aller du Port Saladan de KOH LANTA en Vedette Rapide TGV en
3 a 4 heures directement sans passer par HAT YAI en venant de BANGKOK ou par SATUN
ou PAK BARA en venant de KRABI et TRANG . Ce service que j ai pris recemment fonctionne
tous les 2 jours pour les quelques 46 a 50 passagers a chaque rotation en passant par
KOH MOOK, KOH NGAI et KOH BOULONE . Prix de la traversee 1.700 THB par personne .--
salut,
nous revenons de thailande, aucun problème et si nous pouvions y retourner, nous le ferions de suite. Vous pouvez partir sans aucun souci.
Profitez bien de votre voyage.
merci pour vos mots d'encouragements. je commence a me dire que je devrais y aller ..et laisser faire les alertes.. je vais appeller demain a l'ambassade pour voir ce qui vont me répondre..
parcontre c'est dommage pour le sud..il y avait de belles places a visiter.
je suis surprise de voir que ca n'Arrete pas le tourismes.. plusieurs sur le site demande meme conseil pour aller a phuket.. qui est en plein milieu de la zone a risque..
c"est dommage pour pattaya car il y a le festival de pattaya en mi -avril ...en meme temps que durant la période pendant laquel je vais etre en thailande..
je ne sais pas si ca vaut vraiment la peine d'etre vu.. surtout que c'est dans la zone a risque... est ce qu'il ya quelqu'un qui a déja vu le songkran et la fete de phnom rung ? est ce que ca vaut le détour ?
merci
En effet Chiang mai c, est le top t, es sur de pas te tromper si vous y allez en cette periode...En I-ssan l, ambiance est differente mais exellente aussi ...pas ou peu de touristes ..une fete toujours exeptionnelle comme les thais savent si bien le faire....
A+😏
sur l, arbre qui donne des pommes il n, y a pas de citrons
Vite vite, je veux vos conseils je dois partir pour Bangkok dans moins de 2 semaines, mais avec les derniers attentats le gouvernement de mon pays me suggere…
A quelques jours du depart sur Koh Samui, j'aimerai avoir des informations sur Lamai apres les degats de Novembre. Que ceux qui y sont, ou qui en reviennent…
Cela va faire la quatrième fois que nous allons en Thaïlande ma compagne et moi. Cependant, cette fois-ci on emmene notre petite fille qui aura 8 mois…
Slt Suite aux inondations du mois d aout, qq peut il me renseigner si tout est redevenu normal a Pai, notamment les bungalows au bord de la riviere? Si vous y…
Voici la situation, je suis en thailande depuis le 7/11/08 a PIMAI, je devais pertir le 27/11/08 a Bali et revenir le 12/12/08, donc re-OK pour 30 jours car…
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
March 29: Battambang
March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap
March 31: Siem Reap
April 1: Siem Reap
April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap
April 5: Departure
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
26/09: Travel to Bali, overnight in Pemuteran
27/09: Excursion to Pulau Melujan, overnight in Pemuteran
28/09: Travel to Munduk, overnight in Munduk
29/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk

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!
😄
