Je lisais plus bas que d'exellents tatoueurs exitaient en Thaïlande, mais y en a t-il qui maîtrisent aussi bien le maquillage permanent? (ligne des yeux) ? Si vous connaissez de bonnes adresses, j'apprécierais de les connaître, puisque j'y vais dans qqs semaines (pourvu qu'elles ne soient pas à Hat Yai)
Je connais quelques boxeurs thais qui te font un maquillage 'contour des yeux' gratuitement. Ca n'est pas permanent mais tu le gardes bien 15 jours et en plus ça change de couleur...
Plus sérieusement je l'ai vu faire un peu partout, même dans des petits salons de coiffures de quartier (il y en a partout en Thailande) mais pas spécialement par des tatoueurs, plutôt par des esthéticiennes.
Contour des yeux : pas terrible
Sourcils : très bien fait et apparemment super pratique
Cette question est trés importante car je me suis faite tatouer deux fois en Thai (tatouage pas le maquillage) et c'est vrai que jai songe au maquillage, je ne voulais pas poser la question ici (jsais pas pkoi !😕)
Mais si qq as des infos, on est preneuse !!!!!! important pour nous 😛
La vie à la même valeur peut importe la taille de l'être qui la porte !
ma belle mère a fait la bouche, lesyeux et les surcils aux vietnam pr 90eur il a fait du bon boulot je pense que pr la thaillande ca doit etre un petit peu plus chere
Je ne connais pas BKK, j'y serai pour la 1ère fois en oct/nov et j'ai fait une recherche sur le web sur le maquillage permanent parce que je souhaite faire retoucher le mien, réalisé en France il y a bientôt 20 ans ! (Ca rajeunit pas, tout ça ! 😕 )
Bref, j'ai trouvé le Yanhee Hospital qui a un service de dermographie :
http://www.yanhee.net/eng/btct/btct_sak.asp
et les prix :
http://www.yanhee.net/eng/srv/srv_val_btc.asp#h05
Certainement plus cher qu'un petit tatoueur des rues, mais comme c'est une clinique spécialisée dans l'esthétique, on peut s'attendre à une hygiène irréprochable et surtout à une plus grande expérience de ce type de tatouage. En tous cas, j'ai déjà vu des loupés et c'est pas chouette ! Surtout que pour corriger un tatouage sur les paupières, euh ... pas évident !
Donc, pour moi le choix est déjà fait.
Mais attention ! il faut savoir que quand on ressort de là, on n'est pas vraiment au top de la séduction !!! Ca pique, ça brûle, on a les yeux tout gonflés et larmoyants : des moments peu agréables en perspective ! Alors ne prévoyez pas ça avant une sortie en boîte, ou même au soleil et n'envisagez surtout pas de baignade avant plusieurs jours !
Vous devez également savoir qu'il est normal que dans les jours qui suivent, il y ait quelques points qui "sautent" et qu'il faut donc prévoir une retouche une semaine après (beaucoup moins agressive que le tatouage initial). Vous avez donc intérêt à bien y penser avant de programmer ça pendant vos vacances ...
Par contre, après ... pour quelqu'un comme moi qui ne se maquille jamais, c'est un vrai bonheur ! Toujours l'oeil vif, au saut du lit ou au sortir d'un bain de mer ... Et ça, c'est TRES appréciable ! 😏
j'en ai envie depuis bien longtemps et je n'avais pas imaginer de le faire faire a l'etranger voir la thailande.
En thailande la technologie est-elle identique a la france ??
Est-ce que c'est douloureux ???
Et combien de temps il faut pour faire faire les cils et sourcils??
et combien de temps avec lunettes noirs??
merci d'avance
amicalment
tintina
Merci pour ml'adresse, super intéréssant !! moi c'est le blanchissement des dents, et le contour de bouche, ca me prend la tete de me maquiller !! les yeux j'oserai pas !
Avez vous trouvé les prix?.??😎
La vie à la même valeur peut importe la taille de l'être qui la porte !
Je répondrai à vos questions plus tard, là je n'ai pas le temps, mais de toutes façons, avec le coup d'Etat qui vient d'avoir lieu à BKK et avec l'instauration de la Loi Martiale dans tout le pays ... on a le temps de voir venir ! 😠🙁😕
Les réponses ont tardé mais depuis, je me suis dit qu'en posant la question à une esthéticienne sur place, elle pourrait me référer une bonne visagiste qui fait le maquillage permanent. Une visagiste est en mesure de savoir maquiller en fonction du vieillissement de la peau, ce qui n'est pas le cas de toutes celles qui font le maquillage permanent (exemple: le coin des yeux s'abaisse avec le temps et le maquillage permanent peut devenir gênant). Bonnes recherches !
Je viens de passer un bon bout de temps à regarder les nouvelles et commentaires qu'on peut trouver sur VF à propos du coup d'Etat. Assez rassurant, globalement ...
J'en reviens donc aux futilités, mais en bref et pour la dernière fois, car je ne serais pas étonnée que ce post disparaisse purement et simplement parce qu'un Modérateur estimera que cette conversation n'a pas sa place sur un forum de voyages !
😇 et il n'aura pas vraiment tort ! Allons-y donc :
En thailande la technologie est-elle identique a la france ??
Aucune idée, mais un tatouage est un tatouage : il se fait avec une multitude de piqures d'aiguilles qui font entrer l'encre sous la peau !
Est-ce que c'est douloureux ???
Oh oui, ne vous faites pas d'illusions ! Surtout si c'est réalisé chez un tatoueur "ordinaire" ou chez une esthéticienne car ils ne sont pas habilités à utiliser un quelconque anesthésiant local (trop dangereux autour des yeux si mal utilisé). Je ne peux qu'espérer que dans un hôpital, ils soient mieux équipés de ce point de vue là.
Et combien de temps il faut pour faire faire les cils et sourcils??
Euh ... m'en souviens plus trop ! Il me semble que pour les yeux, j'en avais eu pour une bonne heure au moins, mais je ne parierai rien là-dessus ! Ca fait vraiment longtemps ...
et combien de temps avec lunettes noirs??
Cela dépend bien sûr de la sensibilité de chacune, mais les paupières sont très gonflées et bordées de rouge du plus bel effet pendant ... disons que moi, j'ai passé 48h à la maison, en me faisant des compresses décongestionnantes pour soulager l'oedème et que ça allait déjà mieux à compter du 3ème jour. Ensuite, il y a des petites croûtes ou des sortes de "pellicules" qui partent pendant encore une bonne semaine !
le coin des yeux s'abaisse avec le temps et le maquillage permanent peut devenir gênant
C'est sûr, mais il n'y a rien de préventif avec un tatouage ! ce n'est pas comme un maquillage qu'on adapte au fur et à mesure du vieillissement. Donc, à mon avis, mieux vaut opter pour une "densification" des cils plutôt que pour le trait d'eye-liner : beaucoup plus dur au visage et plus difficile à porter avec l'âge. La densification des cils souligne le regard dans un effet beaucoup plus naturel et donne comme résultat non pas quelqu'un de maquillé, mais au contraire quelqu'un qui n'a pas besoin de maquillage ! Mais bon, tout reste affaire de goût ...
le contour de bouche, ca me prend la tete de me maquiller !! les yeux j'oserai pas !
Attention, c'est encore plus douloureux que les yeux ! et puis il faut faire attention à choisir une couleur à peine plus soutenue que le ton naturel des lèvres, sinon c'est très moche sans maquillage, ce qui fait une contrainte supplémentaire ! Par contre, on peut aussi de faire teinter les lèvres, sympa mais aÏe aïe aïe !
Bon, je voulais faire bref : c'est raté ! 😊
S'il y en a parmi vous qui veulent en savoir plus, contactez-moi en MP. Quoique je ne vois vraiment pas ce que je pourrais vous dire de plus !! 😉
Pour le blanchiment des dents tu as deux possibilités:Voir auprès d'un dentiste local qui peut te proposer un kit de Blanchiment (c'est toi même qui doit affectuer les opérations tout les soirs pendant quelques jours) pour un prix compris entre 4000 et 6000 Bahts selon les produits.Voir une clinique spécialisée ou là tu as différentes technique comme par exemple l'utilisation du LASER. Pour les prix je ne connais pas mais tu doit pouvoir trouver des sites de ces cliniques sur le net.

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

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

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!
