Voilà j'aurai besoin de votre aide sur l'itinéraire suivant. J'arrive à BKK le 31 Juillet 2009 au matin. Malgré tout ce que j'ai pu lire, je pars à la Fullmoon pour le 6.
Mon problème c'est que je ne sais pas comment organiser mon séjour pour pouvoir tout voir ensuite.
J'ai trois semaines :
J'ai envie d'aller à Chiang Mai, passer par le triangle d'or et Nong Khai (si ca vaut la peine) puis pour le sud, j'ai entendu dire que les iles dans la Mer d'Andaman sont peu connues et vaut le détour ensuite me diriger vers Khao Sok, Khao Lak (pour plonger) sauf s'il y a d'autres endroits et mieux et un passage à Ko-Tao/Ko Samui (ca je le ferai après la Fullmoon je pense).
Sachant que j'arrive le 31 à BKK que je serai le 5 ou 6 à Ko Phangan pour la Fullmoon. Quels sont les itinéraires possibles afind 'éviter de faire 35 A/R du NOrd au Sud?
J'avais penser à partir en avion de BKK le 2 Aout arriver à Chiang Mai le soir. Et repartir pour Ko Samoui le 4 ou 5.
Peut-o faire Chiang Mai Ko Samoui en avion?
Est-ce que vous penser cela faisable et suffisant pour visiter?
Je pense que tu devrais faire la première partie de ton voyage dans le sud , full moon, plongée visite des Iles etc... et ensuite remonter sur Bangkok pour aller à chiang-Mai et les allentours pour la deuxième partie de ton voyage.
je dirais bangkok-koh Samui (il y a des vols directs) - Koh Phangan - Koh Tao - Koh Samui - Khao Sok - Khao Lak - ile(s) de la mer Adaman et si il te reste du temps, tu remontes au nord!
Sinon, il y a largement de quoi passer tes 3 semaines dans le sud (tu peux passer dans le coin de Krabi aussi).
Le nord, lors d'un prochain voyage!

Merci de m'éclairicir!!
VOIR MA REPONSE MODIFIEE PLUS BAS (15 Juillet) MERCI
Idée : Kanchanaburi - Ayuthaya - Sukhotai - Chiang Mai - Triangle d'or - Nong Kai
Est-ce que toutes ces provinces valent le détour? OUI
Peut-on aller du Triangle d'or à Nong Kai en avion? Si non quel est le meilleur moyen? NON, en bus ou en bateau en descendant le Mekong
Nong Kai ==> Angkor (Cambodge) 🤪
Doit-on revenir obligatoirement par Bangkok pour aller à Angkor au Cambodge? NON mais pas depuis Nong Khai en tout cas, par Surin etc....
Quel est le meilleur itinéraire pour visiter le nord en passant par Angkor et en essayant de faire le moins possible de stops à Bangkok? Angkor est a l'Est de la Thailande pas au Nord 😕
LE SUD :
Angkor ==> Bangkok (si pas autre possibilité) ou Khao Sok
Est-il possible d'aller d'Angkor à Khao Sok? NON ou alors via Bangkok etc....
Khao Lak - Krabi (si le temps météorologique le permet)
Est-il possible d'aller de Khao Lak à Ko Tao ou de Khao Lak à Kho Samui? Des itinéraires très très compliqués 🤪
MERCI BEAUCOUP!! Si vous avez des remarques, n'hésitez pas De rien 😉
En fait je crois que ce n'est pas très réaliste, vous voulez tout faire et tout voir du Sud au Nord en passant par le Cambodge, mission impossible ou alors au pas de course et vous ne verrez ni n'apprécierez rien 🙁 C'est comme si vous vouliez visiter toute la France en 3 semaines et demi de la Bretagne a la Cote d'Azur en passant par Paris, les chateaux de la Loire, les Alpes avec un détour a Rome 🤪 Faites des choix.
J'ai d'autres questions! Si quelqu'un a envie d'y répondre... Vous êtes les bienvenus!
Est-ce que tu penses que j'aurai le temps de faire le NOrd en 15j? Sans passer par Angkor du coup...
Existe-t-il des vols Bangkok Nong Kai?
Nong Kai vaut-il le coup?
Ayuthaya est peut etre pas utile si je fais Sukhotai, qu'en penses-tu?
Le mieux serait de prendre un Vol Bangkok/Chiang Mai. Puis Partir en Bus de Chiang Mai pour le triangle d'or, il faut prévoir combien de jour pour le visiter plus le transport A/R ?
Peut-on rejoindre facilement Chiang Mai d'un point du triangle d'or autre que Mao Sei?
Peut-on partir de Mao Sei ou d'un autre point du Triangle d'or et rejoindre Nong Kai?
Ensuite retour sur Chiang Mai pour aller à Sukhotai pour revenir sur Bangkok
Quel est l'itinéraire le plus rapide pour rejoindre Chiang Mai après Nong Kai? Doit-on revenir par le triangle d'or?
Est-ce que tu penses que j'aurai le temps de faire le NOrd en 15j? Sans passer par Angkor du coup...
Existe-t-il des vols Bangkok Nong Kai? NON, il faut aller a Udon Thani a 40 mn au sud de NOng Khai
Nong Kai vaut-il le coup? Moi j'aime beaucoup mais ca n'est pas indispensable pour un 1er voyage, je ne ferai pas ce détour qui te prendra beaucoup de temps. En général on y va quand on va au Laos car c'est la frontière pour aller a Ventiane.
Ayuthaya est peut etre pas utile si je fais Sukhotai, qu'en penses-tu? Les 2 sont très intéressants mais je pense qu'un seul des 2 sites sera suffisant en effet.
Le mieux serait de prendre un Vol Bangkok/Chiang Mai. Puis Partir en Bus de Chiang Mai pour le triangle d'or, il faut prévoir combien de jour pour le visiter plus le transport A/R ? Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai ne sont pas très éloignés et CR est la porte du triangle d'or
Peut-on rejoindre facilement Chiang Mai d'un point du triangle d'or autre que Mao Sei? Je ne connais pas Mao Sei 😕
Peut-on partir de Mao Sei ou d'un autre point du Triangle d'or et rejoindre Nong Kai? Je ne sais pas.
Ensuite retour sur Chiang Mai pour aller à Sukhotai pour revenir sur Bangkok
Quel est l'itinéraire le plus rapide pour rejoindre Chiang Mai après Nong Kai? Doit-on revenir par le triangle d'or? Evites Nong Khai sinon va après a Udon et prends l'avion pour Bangkok.
Ensuite ce sera le Sud ou Angkor. Je racourcirai les étapes en Thailande pour voir Angkor si tu n'es pas sure de revenir
Pour moi, si tu veux faire le nord et le sud, commence par le sud puisque tu pars de Phuket! Tu gagneras déjà beaucoup de temps de trajet. 😉
On peut aller de Khao Lak a Koh Samui en bus (+ferry, bien sur) sans problème, puis, éventuellement, Koh Tao (de Koh Tao, tu peux rejoindre Bangkok assez facilement par Chumpon). Khao Sok est, grosso modo, entre les 2. Si tu veux faire plus rapide, tu prends l'avion de Krabi ou Phuket pour Koh Samui.
Oups! Excuse moi, j'ai fait une confusion avec un autre itinéraire!! 😄🤪
Pour le temps, sur que c'est pas top en ce moment...
J'espère pour toi que cela va s'améliorer.
Dans la jungle, ce n'est pas trop un soucis mais sur les iles ça doit être bof.

I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling.
For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees?
We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo.
Thanks for your tips and help!
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 everyone,
Could you share your thoughts on my 3-week itinerary?
We’re a small group (family + friends) of 12 people, planning to leave around January 21, 2027.
Here’s my itinerary:
3 nights in Bangkok
4 nights in Chiang Mai
3 nights on Koh Samui
3 nights on Koh Phangan
4 nights in Krabi
4 nights in Phuket
I’m also open to any great tips you might have...
Thanks, everyone! Alain.
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.

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! !
