Nous sommes une famille et souhaiterions partir pour 6 mois en asie du sud est
pouvez vous nous conseiller les meilleures périodes ?
Quels pays et sites à visiter absolument et facilement avec des enfants 4 et 8 ans ?
MERCI 😏
Novembre à avril.
Une des nombreuses possibilités :
Thaïlande, Birmanie, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodge, Thaïlande.
Commencer par la Thaïlande parce que
1/ les billets d'avion pour Bangkok sont les moins cher
2/ à Bangkok, vous pourrez faire les visas pour les autres pays et organiser votre voyage
Terminer par la Thaïlande pour la même raison que le 1/ et parce que vous pourrez vous reposer dans de bonnes conditions avant de rentrer.
Pour les sites, je vous encourage à bien chercher dans ce forum, vous y trouverez beaucoup d'infos et d'avis.
merci pour ce site, il est vraiment complet;
quant aux pays, à priori en 6 mois on pourrait faire :
inde, thailande, malaisie, philippines, vietnam, indonésie
on ne veut pas se presser et on souhaite aller aux endroits les plus faciles avec des enfants;;;;
est ce qu'il existe un pass aérien pour l'asie du sud est ?
Quels pays sont vraiment à visiter ?
Le budget je ne sais pas encore, il paraît qu'il est facile d'y vivre pour pas cher;;; à voir si quelqu'un a des infos....
est ce qu'il existe un pass aérien pour l'asie du sud est ?
A mon avis, le meilleur est celui de Star Alliance. Si tu te debrouilles en anglais tu peux aller voir sur leur site : www.staralliance.com
Par ailleurs, en Asie du S-E il y a de nombreuses compagnies low-cost qui ne sont pas mal, Air Asia en tete.
Au Cambodge? il y a des mecs qui guettent les enfants pour assouvir leur perversité?
Au VietNam, un artiste anglais vient d'être mis en prison pour une même tentative, mais le danger c'est la traversée des rues à pied? A part cela, les enfants vietnamiens sont très ouverts et il n'y aura aucun problème d'intégration.
En Thailande? je ne sais pas, jamais mis les pieds ici😮

Pourquoi betises? qu'est-ce que vous voulez dire par là? J'ai vécu au Cambodge et à Phnom-Penh. Je sais de quoi je parle quand même, non?
Les touristes comme vous ne faites que passer quelques jours ou semaines à tout cassé.
Il y a aussi des mecs soi-disant touristes qui exploitent la misère des familles pauvres...
PHNOM PENH, Cambodge (AP) - Un Français qui possède un bar à Phnom Penh a été inculpé de pédophilie, ont annoncé vendredi des responsables cambodgiens. Michel Blanchard, 39 ans, devra répondre de "débauche", le terme légal cambodgien pour les crimes sexuels impliquant des mineurs. Il encourt jusqu´à 20 ans de prison.
Arrêté mardi lors d´une perquisition à son domicile, le propriétaire du Happy Bar s´est vu notifier sa mise en examen jeudi par le procureur Ouk Savouth, a indiqué le policier Keo Thea.
Les activités suspectes du Français avec cinq garçons cambodgiens avaient attiré l´attention des autorités, qui l´avaient placé sous surveillance. D´après Keo Thea, quatre de ces garçons ont entre 12 et 15 ans tandis que le cinquième a 19 ans.
"Nous avons trouvé les garçons qui dormaient dans sa chambre lorsque nous y sommes entrés. C´est simple, il se faisait une provision d´enfants chez lui", a-t-il rapporté.
Les garçons ont déclaré aux policiers qu´ils avaient eu des rapports sexuels à plusieurs reprises avec Michel Blanchard depuis 2002, a ajouté Keo Thea.
Le Français reste en détention le temps de poursuivre l´enquête.
Les défenseurs des droits des enfants soulignent depuis longtemps que le Cambodge attire les pédophiles étrangers à cause d´une application laxiste des lois, d´un système judiciaire corruptible et de la pauvreté qui contraint les enfants à se prostituer.
Les autorités ont lancé l´année dernière des mesures de répression conte les pédophiles présumés. Une dizaine de suspects étrangers ont été arrêtés. Ils sont originaires d´Australie, du Canada, d´Allemagne, de Nouvelle-Zélande, des Etats-Unis et de France. Certains ont été expulsés vers leur pays d´origine, lorsque celui-ci est doté de lois qui punissent les relations sexuelles avec les mineurs y compris à l´étranger. AP

11-07-2005 Un Belge de 53 ans, résident au Cambodge et professeur d'anglais dans une école privée de Phnom Penh, a été arrêté jeudi dernier, selon Cambodge Soir, suite à une plainte déposée au Bureau de la police des étrangers par la famille d'une fille de 12 ans. Selon le juge Kim Sophon, cette dernière a déclaré avoir été contrainte à une fellation, ce que nie l'accusé. L'affaire repose sur le témoignage d'une autre jeune fille qu'il avait aussi amenée chez lui. "Cette deuxième fille n'a pas porté plainte", précisait hier Sok Rœun, procureur adjoint. Selon Kim Sophon, le Belge assure avoir été pris de compassion pour ces filles et leur avoir simplement donné de l'argent et à manger. Placé en détention, le suspect risque 10 à 20 ans de prison. Il avait déjà été repéré depuis un an par l'ONG Action pour les enfants (Aple). "Nous espérons que la justice va faire son travail. Nous sommes confiants car il y a une prise de conscience sur la pédophilie, analyse Stéphanie Remion, directrice d'Aple.
Depuis janvier, un Français a été arrêté, un Américain condamné et extradé, un Hollandais condamné le 21 juin..."--AKP

d'accord mais nous n'allons pas laisser nos enfants dans la nature.... à ce moment là on ne fait plus rien car en turquie il y a la grippe aviaire; à la réunion le moustique, à bali les attentas, aux états unis aussi et même en europe; il faut quand même remettre les choses dans leur contexte; ce n'est pas à visitant le cambodge qu'on va s'en prendre à nos enfants tout de même; suffit d'avoir les yeux sur eux mais ça vaut pour partout dans le monde.... pourquoi cet acharnement ??? et la thailande alors et la prostitution ??? on boycotte; je suis bien sûr outrée devant ces témoignages mais ce n'est pas nouveau et bien des globe trotteurs sont allés dans ce pays avec des enfants !
Bien sur, il n'y a pas de danger de ce genre pour les touristes qui ne font qu'un passage. Mais j'ai répondu à la suite de la phrase de Thuan "il paraît qu'il est facile d'y vivre pour pas cher"

désolée mais c'est moi qui ai mis y vivre pour pas cher; je voulais dire par là qu'en asie le coût de la vie n'est pas cher; on peut se loger et se nourrir pour moins cher qu'en europe donc un tour de 6 mois devrait engendrer un budget moins elevé ! mais désolée 😮

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.
20/09: Flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, arrive around noon, afternoon/evening and overnight in Yogyakarta.
21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)

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! !
