Bonsoir à tous,
C'est mon premier voyage en thailande et pour sa j'aurai aimé avoir quelque renseignements s'il vous plait!!
Alors je pars avec mon frére et un ami à phuket du 19 octobre 2009 au 08 novembre 2009.
J'aurai aimer savoir combien dois-je prévoir sachant que je veux faire du jet ski saut à l'élastique, plongée pêche en haute mer...Resto, excursions....
Et surtout...surtout svp renseigner moi sur le type de climat que je risque d'avoir, je m'excuse de poser les même question que d'autre mais vous me rendrez un trés grand service en me renseignant car cela fait 2 mois que j'angoisse!!!
UN GRAND MERCI D'AVANCE A TOUTE LES PERSONNE QUI VONT M'AIDER!!!
Bonjour,
Climat=OK(fin de la saison ds pluies réputée fin octobre)vous aurez du soleil, fois de moi(4 ans sur place) !
jet ski=+-1000 baht/30mn hors assurance!(lire les articles concernant les problemes "jetski" sur www.phuketgazette.com)
Elastic=1000/1500 baht
Excursions de 800(james bond island) à xxxx baht(ex.3jours/2 nuits au similan island hors plongée +-5000 baht)
Restos: de 40 baht/+-1€(thai food) à 500 baht/10€(farang food, steak frite, ...)
Pêche en mer de 3000 à 6000 baht environ pour la journée(repas& boissons softs compris+materiel)
Taxis hors de prix, opter si capable(routes tres dangereuses+locaux!)la location motorbike:200 baht/jours(4€, hors assurance!)
Logement: de 250 baht(5€)correct sans plus à 1500 baht(30€) tres bonnes prestations, y'en a à la pelle, bien choisir+négocier si reste longtemps!
Question: comment peut on angoisser pendant 2 mois lors d'un passage au paradis(cela n'engage que moi!)
Vos date correspondent à peu près au démarrage de la "sacrée" haute saison, la ou les prix peuvent augmenter...
Je vous conseille la visite de la région de Krabi, bateau à partir de 600 baht l'aller(12€), magnifique, prendre le retour la bas, gain de 100 baht(2€)!
Un budjet de 50€/j. me sembe tres correct, sans privation...
Si fétards/appétit fille prevoir env.2000 baht/soirée(40€)fille comprise, de base...! aux arnaques diverses tel que drogues, propositions diverses de la part des locaux spécialements formés à détecter les "débutants au pays", ne rien acheter à ces gens la, sinon gros risques de gros problemes...
Restez zen dans tous les cas, pas de hausse de ton ni brimades envers les locaux car la perte de la face pour eux est sinonyme de baston!
Aller bon voyage et si vous avez d'autres question contactez moi en mp
ps je joint 1 photo de NaiHarn beach sur phuket(relax & belle)+ 1 de la region Krabi(Raley bay, Aonang)pour info beautée
La breve dure entre 5 & 10mn, tres forte et souvent accompagnée de fortes bourasques de vent donc s'abriter & attendre que sa passe!
observer les Thais, si ils ne remballes pas tout leur matos c'est que c'est du bref, si avant que cela arrive tu les vois scruter le ciel et commencer
à tout emballer, c'est que ce sera plutot une "longue durée" c à dire entre 1&2h, si ils ferment la boutique, rentrents les jet ski la tu peut etre quasi sure
que la journée de soleil est finie....mais cela reste rare ces deux dernières options!
je remet les photos, apparement elles ne sont pas passées...
non; je n'y retourne pas avant le printemps 2010 mais pour la plongée mon fils vient de faire son cours PADI avec un maitre plongeur qui vit à Phuket, Patong ; c'est une française et elle assurément connaît tout les recoins valable...alors je te refilerai son nom en MP si tu as de besoin...A+
et bon voyage!
...l'important n'est pas la destination mais l'expérience de ce que le voyage nous apporte...
je me permets de te poser kelkes questions car tu es bien renseigné en thermes de tourisme thai !!
mon amie et moi partons en Thailande le 25 novembre pour 15 jours.
nous avons les billets d'avion pour BKK mais nous partons sans aucune réservation d'hotels..
nous souhaitons faire notre circuit:
BKK ( 1 journée afin de visiter le MBK et admirer cette ville)
ensuite Chiang mai en avion, où devons nous acheter les billets? on pense rester 2 jours.
nous reprendrons l'avion pour rejoindre le SUD de la Thailande.
le tour classic je pense. les iles les plus connues..
quel est le moyen le plus simple pour se déplacer dans le sud..entre pipi, samui, pangan, lanta??
vas t on avoir des problemes pour dormir sans réservation?? on aimerai trouver des ptit bingalow sympa en bord de mer??
ou trouve t on des excursions intéressantes a faire??
les bagages me font peur.je ne sais pas trop comment gérer ca, 2 grosses valises..lol il faut trouver l'hotel les matins ou on arrive je pense mais peut on laisser les valises??
en fait je me suis juste renseigné un peu sur certains forums mai nous partons vraiment en terre inconnu...j'esperes pouvoir profiter a fond..
dsl certaines questions ne sont pas trés claires mai je suis un peu perdu..lol
Bonjour, déja commencez par alléger vos valise, vous serez au début de la saison chaude(35à37°c pas rare)donc le sticte nécessaire, les fringues sont bon marché
partout quasiment la bas, surtout a bkk(privilégez aussi le sac à dos, bien pratique pour la visite des iles, prendre les petits bateaux, etc...)
Je connait pas votre budget mais bon, à bkk vous pouvez aller à la gare de train de Hua Lumpong, bon point de départ pour le shopping et la visite de la ville ou il
faut plus qu'une journée à mon avis pour visiter...De plus derriere la gare il y a des guesthouses pas chere dont celle ci:Train guesthouse(500baht/j)petites
chambes mais propre et super bon marché+securisée...
Pour tous vos billets d'avion vous pouvez réserver à votre arrivée au suwarnaboomy(aéroport de votre arrivée)dans les compagnies locales, avec la Thai airways
la plus chère, ou air asia la moins chère.Ceci peut également se faire par internet, je l'ai déja fait plusieurs fois sans prob & cela permet d'avoir de bons tarifs...
Pour descendre dans le sud à partir de chiang mai il faut prendre un avion pour bkk et apres prendre un autre pour phuket, krabi, ...il n'y a pas de vol direct
nord>sud(à confirmer par une visite sur leurs sites, avant y en avait pas de direct, escale obligatoire a bkk!)
Pour la visite des iles je vous conseille de vous trouver un "pieds à terre" à phuket par ex afin de vous liberer du gros de vos bagages, le reste se fera en bateau et
c'est l'avantage de voyager léger..L'ile de phuket est agréable et belle en dehors des circuits classiques tels que Patong beach à voir quand même pour la fiesta!
Entre deux déplacement vous pouvez laisser vos bagages dans les stations de bus/train, ou il existe des consignes sécurisées et assez bon marché.
N'exibez pas trop votre fric et mettez le dans les safety box de votre hotel, de préférence à la réception, accompagnés de vos autres valeurs quand vous sortez.
Sinon il y a un bateau qui fait Phi Phi>>krabi ts les jours, départ 8.30h au port de phuket, de la bas autres bateaux pour aller à lanta & autres iles.
Relax des ébergements il y en a en masse et à tous les tarifs, c'est mieux d'arriver le matin, se poser et aller voir partout pour comparer les prix, la faut négocier...
Ne vous encombrez pas avec des conneries, il y a tout la bas(crême moustique, crêmes solaires, aspirine, etc...)de marque à& moins cher que chez nous!
Bon voyage & dont worry(parler un peu anglais c'est mieux aussi)
Bonjour et merci de tout ces renseignements.
Nous envisageons mon mari et moi de passer environ deux semaines dans la baie de Po à Phuket à partir du 11 Nov prochain;
Merci de me dire si vous connaissez, comment sont les plages (monde ou pas), si on peut pêcher à la ligne, pratiquer la pêche au gros et si , comme me le disent tous les tours opérators, l'option petit déj suffit à l'hôtel car on trouve partout à manger pour des sommes modiques. Connaissez-vous le prix du vin (j'adore et imagine mal de m'en passer !)
En attendant avec impatience votre réponse, bien cordialement. Mahumb

Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
We’d love to visit Georgetown and the beautiful beaches of Langkawi from mid-September to early October, but we’re worried it’ll be a real steam bath 🥵
Thanks to anyone who can share their experience!

For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hello, We’re heading to Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi as a family at the end of February with two kids (8 and 14 years old). We’ve got direct flights with Luxairstours. The itinerary is already set, but I’m wondering if anyone has traveled with Luxair before and knows exactly what kind of clothes they provide on the second day? The agency just told me it’s a heavy-duty cold-weather suit. I’m thinking we should get Sorel Caribou boots, maybe second-hand. Here’s what I’ve already planned:
- Thermolactyl leggings and tights from Damart for the whole family as a base layer.
- A first layer of Damart socks + Nordic Stocks socks in 70% merino wool for all four of us.
- Loose fleece layers, including some Polartec.
- Ski pants for hikes.
- For my son and me, a The North Face Himalayan down parka with a hood.
- A ski parka for my husband and my 14-year-old daughter (she *really* wants a Roxy one—I hope it’ll be warm enough).
- For myself, for the flight and the first day at Santa’s village, I’ve packed The North Face winter hiking pants, a long-sleeve merino wool top from Decathlon (thin), a fleece, and my big parka.
I’m wondering if I should just pack fleece joggers or sweatpants for the kids and my husband, at least for the first and last days, to be comfortable on the plane?
I’m also planning to buy balaclavas and neck warmers in addition to our beanies, as well as mittens for all of us. I really need advice because I have no idea—I’ve never been skiing! Also, for a 4-night, 5-day trip, should I pack a second set of base layers, like from Odlo?
Of course, I’ll be leaving cotton clothes out of the suitcase.
As you can tell, I’m someone who gets cold easily—especially my feet, hands, and ears—so that’s my biggest worry. I *don’t* want to be cold, even at -20°C during dog sledding, snowmobiling, or aurora hunting when we might be standing still. We won’t be in the city, and the kids will likely spend most of their time outside, as they usually do.
Hi there!
I’m planning a 10-day trip to Greenland in early August.
Could anyone tell me what kind of weather and temperatures to expect?
I’ve heard there are mosquitoes—is that true?
Thanks!😊
Sunny destinations in October???
Not too much rain.
Martinique, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Cape Verde, or somewhere else?????
Any tips? Thanks for your help
