Salut à tous, j'ai comme ambition de faire un long voyage en Thaïlande. C'est mon premier véritable voyage, mon premier vol, et je go tout seul à l'inconnu. Après de longues semaines à chercher des informations sur le net, j'aimerais avoir vos avis sur mon budget dont voici :
I ) - 4 semaines avec 1000 euros : Entraînement dans un camp de boxe à Pattaya ou autre ville ( pas encore fixé ) ( 350 euros par mois comprenant hébergement + entrainement ), me reste 650 euros pour manger et autres dépenses. Je tiens à préciser que je ne sortirais que le week end pour m'amuser donc pendant 4 semaines du lundi au vendredi ça sera entrainement + plage + repos et un peu de marche dans la ville surement ( j'ai prévu 250 euros pour ces 4 semaines du lundi au vendredi soit un peu plus de 12 euros/jour pour manger et petits déplacements ) il me restera donc 400 euros pour 4 week ends ( boire un verre, disco, partir à bangkok le week end..... ). Je m'entrainerai assez dur et je ne compte pas faire de folies pendant ce mois avec la fatigue et les douleurs.
II ) - 8 semaines en routard avec 1500 euros : Après mon stage de boxe, je compte visitais le pays en routard pendant 2 mois comme point de départ Bangkok / Pattaya dont voilà en gros les villes et iles que je voudrais visiter ( Iles de Ko Samet, Ko Chang, Ko Kurt, Ko Tao, Ko Samui, Ko Pha Ngan ( j'espère d'ailleurs être à la Full Moon ), Ko Lanta, Ko Phiphi, Phuket et les villes : Krabi, remonter par les transports terrestres jusque Bangkok, puis Ayutthaya jusque Sukhothai, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Surin et surements un peu plus..... En gros j'utiliserais toujours les transports terrestres ( bus, train et surement un vol local mais pas plus. Ces 8 semaines sont dans un but de découvrir le pays, la culture, la population locale, photographier, me reposer, me baigner...etc.... mais aucunes folies.
III ) - 4 semaines avec 1500 euros : Je compte exploser un peu plus niveau budget pour faire quelques activités sur une ile ou une ville que j'aurais particulièrement aimé pendant ma "période routarde"
Je dirais ben oui c'est faisable, tout est quasiment faisable suivant son mode de vie.
Mais puisque tu as l'air d'aimer bien sortir justement, tu devras sûrement te serrer un peu la ceinture dans ta phase II)😛 (Te restreindre dans tes sorties et activités)
En plus tu bouges beaucoup (phase II) pour ce budget... Les bons plans logement se trouvent lorsqu'on reste pas mal de temps sur le même lieu.
Et la Thaïlande est en plus une destination qui pousse à la dépense : j'en ai vu pas mal "exploser" leur budget.
Mais bon, si toi ton budget est figé, tu n'auras pas le choix et ce sera forcément faisable...
Phase I) et III) RAS

J'avoue que la P2 sera un peu hot mais bon 1500 pour 60 jours reviendra a 25 euros par jour, je pense que niveau logement + nourriture + déplacements ça le fera, mais j'avoue aussi qu'il suffit lors de ce parcours de tomber sur des touristes, faire connaissance et on oublie le budget lol, en même temps sur 60 jours j'espère qu'il y aura des jours ou je pourrais dépenser bien moins que mon budget journalier afin d'ajouter la différence pour les jours plus dur. Le tout comme tu dis c'est de figé le budget surtout lors des visites des iles, du sud de la Thaïlande, je pense que là bas ça va être dur de résister aux bierres fraîches, noix de coco et de se contenter d'une bouteille de cristaline, on verra bien :)
Suis quelqu'un de très économe et me suffira de regarder une photo de la ville où j'habite pour faire en sorte d'allonger le séjour en Thaïlande au maximum ( je compte pas non plus manger un bol de riz et dormir sous une tente huhu :) )

Cohérent globalement, mais prevoit aussi de résider quelques jours à Bangkok avant ton retour définitif (shopping....) car la capitale vaut aussi le détour et puis y a tous les jours de la boxe thai a voir au Lumpini ou au Raja.... 😉
En revanche, compte tenu du temps dispo, tu peux prévoir aussi une escale d'une semaine sur Angkor et les alentours. Ca fera un bon ensemble avec Chiang Mai (ou tu pourrais passer un mois...) Sukkhothai, et Ayutaya.

bonjour je suis d'accord avec ledrix le 2 tu devra faire attention comme tu le dit au rencontre mais je pense que tu peux avoir du bonussur le budget 1 v le stage qui doit être causto dans avecla fatigue tu risque de moins sortir que prevuse que tu grapillera sur se dubget sera que du plaisr après
bon séjour

Mon camp sera sur Pattaya surement, et d'après ce que j'ai entendu, c'est pas le genre de ville où on fait des super économies, suffit juste du samedi soir pour tuer le budget total du week end lol, si je m'en sors avec ce budget ça sera pas mal, si je fais des économies pendant le stage rien de tel pour la suite :)
Pour ce qui est de Bangkok, j'ai prévu de visiter dès le début :) MBK, matchs de boxe thaï, ça doit être nice la bas :)
Salut ptit gars si j ai bien compris tu part 4 mois avec 4000e le premier mois tu vas rien depenser a part la bouff -de 5e par jour apres c 'est toi qui voit . Moi j'en revient : 1 mois 3jours Banckock avec combats au Lumpini (prend les places a 1000 baths et non a 2000 t'est assis pareil et avec les parieurs ambiance garantie il te demanderont de te pousser un peu .Ensuite train de nuit pour Chang mail quelques nuit chez Simon { adresse dans le routard) trek basique 2 jours assez physique la montee au village avec elephant et rafting au menu ensuite 3 jours a Chang Rai ou tu verra pas loin de la gare routiere une sorte de quartier general des taxis et tuc tuc ou il attendent le client sur des vieux canapes eclates qu 'ils ont mis dehors n 'hesite pas vas les voir avec une bouteille de Mekong et tu passeras 2 ou3 heures dont tu te rappelera toute ta vie . Ensuite demitour direction les iles Koh phan gan et Koh tao bungalow a 300 ou 400baths maxi bon poissons, deplacement sur les iles en moto liberte totale . tout ca pour te dire qu a 2 avec ma femme sans se priver et sans faire les americains j ai eu du mal a depenser 1500e sur le mois tout compris les bateaux, les bus, les motos le tatouage j 'allais oublier l' appareil photo a 200e.Je te souhaite un bon voyage et de bon entrainements...
N'oublie pas que si tu pars là-bas plus d'un mois, visa impératif de 60 jours à obtenir en FRANCE, et non à l'arrivée!
Ensuite prolongation d'un mois possible en repassant la frontière du cambodge ou de la malaisie, et si plus, çà devient très aléatoire!
Perso, 1000 euros par mois, ça me semble possible bien sûr, mais un peu juste quand même!
Si il part 2 mois, il reçois un visa gratuit de 30 jorus à sonr arrivée, ensuite pendant son voyage il devra jsutre passer une frontière ex le laos où il restera kke jours histoire de voir.
Après il repasse en Thailande, et recevra à nouveau un visa de 30 jours.
Oui, mais j'ai cru comprendre un voyage de plusieurs mois, et le visa obtenu à ventiane, penang, ou au cambodge dépendrait de plus en plus de la bonne volonté des douaniers, aussi j'ai tendance à conseiller un visa de 60 jours au départ!
Rien de plus désagréable que de devoir écourter un voyage pour un problème de visa!
Je tiens à préciser que je ne sortirais que le week end pour m'amuser donc pendant 4 semaines du lundi au vendredi ça sera entrainement + plage + repos et un peu de marche dans la ville surement
Attention à la marche dans la ville et à la plage. Les tentations peuvent surgir à tout moment..😏😏😏😏😏😏.

bonjour moi je suis partie il y a deux ans en tailande je tien à dire que c'est un pays magnifique et que les gens sont super géniaux attention l'hygiène n'est vraiment pas comme chez nous donc si tu vas chez l'habitant soit quand même prudent et un autre petit point la tailande n'est pas chére mais ils poussent beaucoup à la consomation et l'argent par trop vite et il faudra beaucoup marchander car les prix sont doublés par 2 ou 3
bonne vacances

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.
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)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

04/10: Travel to Denpasar, flight to Labuan Bajo, overnight in Labuan Bajo
05/10: Komodo cruise
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!
