Nous partons deux semaines à Bali fin Septembre.
Nous ne voulons pas planifier réellement notre séjour, mais avons essayé de trouver nos points de chute : 6 nuits à Ubud 4 nuits à Amed 4 nuits à Jimbaran
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Pourrons-nous à partir de ces trois villes silloner dans l'Est de l'île. (l'Ouest ca sera au cours d'un prochain voyage certainement)
Devons-nous préférer Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak ou Legian à Jimbaran (Notre objectif étant de nous reposer les derniers jours et de découvrir la péninsule de Bukit)
Merci d'avance

Ubud est un très bon point de départ pour visiter le centre et même l'Est (sud est)
Amed, j'aime bcp, c'est tranquile, la vue sur le Agung est magnifique et puis c'est encore sauvage.
Les derniers jours à Jimbaran sont une bonne pour 1 - se reposer et 2 - visiter Bukit. Bien mieux à mon sens que Kuta, Sanur...etc Par contre 4 jours pour Jimbaran et Bukit c'est beaucoup. 2/3 suffisent à mon avis.
Selamat Sore,
En allant directement à Ubud, vous plongerez dans la vraie vie balinaise et vous serez forcément sous le charme.
Si vous pensez à prendre un scooter, soyez rassurer, les routes de Bali sont sûres et impeccables;
Montez jusqu'à Tampasikring pour voir Tirta Empul et Gunung Kawi
Faîtes un détour au charmant temple de Sebatu
Même débutants, courrez au rafting dans les gorges de l'Ayung (Sobek est une société sérieuse au matériel nickel) SPLENDIDE !!!
Faîtes vous un spectacle un soir à Ubud, de préférence dan le Palais (une dans du Barong est toujours magnifique)
Allez manger au Bebek Bengil, au bout de Hanuman Road, le canard spécialité est un régal
Notre hôtel à Ubud : http://www.tjampuhan-bali.com/ un must de charme (si vous n'y logez pas, faîtes vous plaisir par qq heures de soins thalasso dans la grotte ...)
Ensuite Amed est un endroit on ne peut plus calme et charmant.
Depuis notre hôtel (http://www.hiddenparadise-bali.com/) on pouvait directement plonger au dessus de récifs corraliens
La plage est magnifique et il y a qq restos trés sympas (Au Pondok Vienna Beach au bout de cette plage, vous mangerez les meilleures prawns au monde). Vous pouvez négocier une sortie avec un pêcheur local trés facilement qui vous emménera en 30 minutes sur un site de plongée au dessus d'une épave d'un bateau japonais ... magnifique même avec palmes et tuba !
Louez un scooter et faîtes le tour du volcan : La route de la corniche est SPENDIDE, puis arrêt au Palais de Ujung, déjeuner à Candidasa, Visite de la forteresse de Tenganan puis retour par Tirtagangga et son sublime palais d'eau (boucle faisable dans une journée)
Pas beaucoup d'animations nocturnes à Amed, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire ..., levez vous tôt et admirez le lever de soleil avec les bateaux multicolores ou l'éclosion de bébés tortues si vous avez de la chance.
Pour finir, je te déconseille Jimbaran où à part les palaces, il n'y a pas grand chose ...
KUTA est vraiment cool pour l'ambiance ( bien plus sympa que les stations thaîlandaises) et l'on trouve tout, à tous les prix que ce soit les restos ou les boutiques. Génial de faire son dernier shopping dans Poppies Lane. Evitez les bars australiens et vous trouverez des endroits charmants (Kori Restaurant et ses saté +++).
Allez juste à Jimbaran pour un coucher de soleil (ex: à l'Hôtel Intercontinental, bons cocktails) puis marchez sur la plage pour rejoindre le Jimbaran Seafood où vous mangerez aux chandelles les pieds dans le sable !
Pas grand chose à voir sur pénisule de Bukit ... Facile de partir en bémo ou taxi depuis Kuta pour aller au Temple de Uluwatu ( impressionnant et sauvage - faire gaffe aux singes !!!). En profiter pour, au coucher de soleil, aller voir une dance Kecak ... le site est à couper le souffle !
A Kuta vous pourrez bouger facilement (sites incontournables Ulauwatu, Tanah Lot, Mengwi) et aussi vous reposer ... Il suffit d'apprendre qq mot de bahasa indonesia pour refouler les vendeurs ambulants sur la plage ... Massage, manucure et ananas frais ... Farniente sur Kuta Beach reste un must ...
Profitez bien de ce séjour sur l'île des dieux. Ne partez pas trop chargés, tout se trouve bon marché sur place et il est plréférable de laver ses effets sur place...
Pensez à apporter des cartes postales de votre ville (ou des stylos dans certains villages reculés) si vous croisez des enfants ou une sortie d'école ..
Bref, votre séjour est bien articulé, vous allez faire un vrai break ( 15 jours semblent courts avant de partir mais une fois sur place c'est un tel dépaysement ...)
Bon voyage et je reste à votre disposition pour d'autres conseils

Je suis allé à Bali debut des années 90 : nuit en bus depuis Jogja et passage en ferry Java-Bali
et continuation par le meme bus jusqu'à Denpasar ( ville polluée, trafic dingue )
Apres 2 jours passé sur place j ai failli repartir et finalement je suis resté 15 jours.
L ile est (?) etait superbe mais le tourisme de masse a fait des ravages dans la mentalité de quelques locaux. certains mais heureusement une minorité s'averent desagréables
J ai logé à la peripherie d'UBUD dans la guest house d' une coiffeuse .Famille super sympa.
SdB en ciment, pas de AC, literie en bambou, chambre propre sans etre le grand confortpour 27 frs par jour ( avec petit dej, theiere + bol de coconut rapee et bananes + omelette + pain
et le soir petite collation + theiere ) et ....offrandes deposées aux dieux tous les matins devant ma porte.
Le matin reveillé vers 6 heures => troupeaux de canards defilant et s'en allant à la riziére pour la journée
genial, le soir 300 canards reviennent sur la route et regagnent leur domicile, suivis par le paysan du village.
A Ubud l'office de tourisme filait un plan sommaire des ballades à faire autour de la bourgade.
On s'enfonce en pleine campagne pendant des kms, paysans et buffles croisés, quelques serpents decampent donc taper du pied en passant pres des buissons.
Au SE d'UBUD 1, 5 kms, il y a un petit village avec un temple ou j ai assisté à l'une des grandes ceremonies religieuses : nous etions 5 etrangers au milieu des villageois ( imperatif revetir un sarong pour se couvrir les jambes et avoir des allumettes car des singes macaques ont tendance à s'aggriper au sarong et ne lachent plus . Ne pas les repousser du pied car ils deviennent agressifs et essaient de mordre . les balinaises portent des allumettes sur elles et
quand le singe voit la flamme, il decampe .( vu à la Monkey Forest )
Sans mentionner les endroits hypertouristiques, la campagne est superbe
Tampaksiring est pas mal mais y aller tot .( possible par deux minibus locaux depuis Ubud avec correspondance - En VTT, çà monte !!)
L'est/sud est de Bali est pas mal non plus mais s'arranger à plusieurs pour louer un vehicule
en plus il n y avait quasiment pas de touristes.
Danses balinaises ( danse des singes, Ramayana) : minibus passe le soir vous recuperer et améne à un village pres d'Ubud . Touristes et population du village suivent ensemble le spectacle à la nuit tombée.
Un coin detesté : KUTA/LEGIAN => belle plage mais suite de baraquements, boutiques etc. et tous les
5m des gars qui harcélent avec " Do you want to buy this or that.....", harcélement permanent. J ai roulé ma bosse dans une cinquantaine de pays, KUTA est sur le podium des
endroits qui me degoutent.
Quelques Arnaques :
serveuse qui revient avec votre monnaie disant que vous vous etes trompés en reglant et qu'il manque de l'argent => deux jours de suite avec la meme fille, je me suis fait avoir un coup mais pas deux.
Bus de nuit AC Jogja -Bali qui passe à la guest house me recuperer s'avére etre un bus tout à fait ordinaire sans toilettes.( non pris )
Visite des temples => jambes doivent etre couvertes, d'ou location de sarong obligatoire.
Investir dans un sarong pour eviter de mauvaises surprises
A l'entree de certains lieux touristiques, on met son nom et une contribution est demandée.
Qui en profite exactement ??? devinez !!!
Les petits malins tendent le cahier accompagné d'un stylo .
En voyant les dons des predecesseurs on se sent honteux !! ( en convertissant roupies=>francs, memes des dons de 300 frs ( 40-50 Euros) par des radins de frenchies.
En fait votre modeste obole inscrite, sous les remarques sacarstiques et desobligeantes de certains employés, l'un deux reprend le stylo et rajoute quelques zeros à la somme que vous avez inscrite.
J ai pas la carte de Bali sous les yeux, Jimbaran ??? le nom ne me dit rien.
Sinon à Jogja population supersympa et n ai pas noté ce genre de comportement
Djakarta = > capitale sans interet, mais population etait sympa
Voici encore une énième demande d'avis sur itinéraire... Infos sur les voyageurs: nous sommes deux jeunes couples de 24 ans. Je bloque notamment sur la partie…
Pourriez-vous me donner votre avis sur l'itinéraire suivant (en 3 semaines mi-juillet/début août), avec deux enfants: 2 nuits à Kuta (ou Sanur?) pour se…
Ce type de question est très régulièrement posé, mais je suis preneur d'avis pour valider que le parcours que nous sommes en train de finaliser pour un séjour…
J'aurais voulu connaitre votre avis sur un ititnéraire. Ruen n'est figé et je pense que je resterais un jour de + ou - selon les envies: samedi 23/09: arrivée…
Je vais passer 10 jours à Bali dans une semaine. Je m'y prend un peu tard mais ce voyage n'était pas prévu. J'ai fais un itinéraire en suivant différents…
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.

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!
