Bonjour à tous, j'aurai besoin de votre aide. Je pars durant tout le mois de Mai au Vietnam et je suis en train de préparer mon voyage. Adorant les cascades, j'ai pu voir qu'il y avait la cascade de Yang Bay, la chute de Ba Ho et la source Hoa Lan, pas loin de Nhatrang. J'aurai aimé avoir votre opinion sur ces cascades : valent-elles le coup ? Peut-on si baigner ?
Une dernière question au sujet des cascades : j'avais fait il y a trois ans un mini circuit avec Sinh Café où on avait visiter l'ile des singes et une autre ile avec un éléphant et des autruches. Je me souviens que sur cette ile notre guide nous avait dit qu'il y avait une cascade, mais que celle ci était sèche et donc que ce n'était pas la peine d'y aller. Pouvez vous me dire le nom de cette cascade si vous la connaissez? Et si oui, si elle vaut le coup d'être vu et pareil, si on peut s'y baigner.
Merci beaucoup pour toutes les réponses que vous pourrez m'apporter :-D
PS : si vous avez des photos de ces cascades, je suis preneuse :-D
Sinon, non je n'ai pas fait les cascades de Ban Gioc, mais je compte bien le faire au mois de Mai. Par contre, je ne sais pas encore comment y aller... Je ne sais pas si des tours sont organisés de Hanoi jusqu'à la cascade ou si je vais être obliger de prendre un taxi d'Hanoi... A vrai dire, je ne me suis pas encore trop posé la question, vu que pour le moment je prépare mon parcours dans le Sud :-p. Mais si vous avez des conseils, je suis preneuse ;-)
Il faut partir 3 jours pour faire cette region au moins, celle de cao bang.
Taxi ca couterai beaucoup trop cher. Il faut prendre une voiture avec chauffeur.
Voici quelques photos...saison seche et humide

Il y a de très nombreuses cascades dans la province de Khánh Hòa dont Nha Trang est la capitale provinciale.
La plus belle de toutes les cascades se trouve à 59 km sur la nouvelle route Nha Trang Dalat. Située à 800 mètres au dessus de la mer, elle a 4 étages de 30 m de hauteur
Je livre les noms des autres cascades : Suôi Tiên, Giang Mây, Ba Hô, Dá Bàn, Hoa Lan, Tà Gu, Dá Trái, Bali, Suôi Thom, Hosho, YangBay.

ça doit être la source Hoa Lan sur l'ile Hòn Hèo. Tu peux venir faire un tour d'une journée ou rester dormir sur place.

Merci Abalone pour toute ces cascades 🙂 ! Malheureusement, je ne pourrais pas toute les faire sniff, va falloir faire des choix 🙁 et ça c'est bien le plus dur.... Surtout que je reste a NhaTrang seulement 6 jours sniff.D'après toi, la plus belle se trouve sur la route NhaTrang/Dalat, connaitrais-tu le nom de cette cascade par hasard ?

Ban Gioc c est un filet d eau compare a de nombreuses chutes telles que Igacu au Bresil, les Niagara falls, les chutes Victoria, les Golfuss, les chutes du salto Angel... meme au Laos il y en a qui lui tiennent la dragee haute.
300 metres de largeur entre la Chine et le Vietnam
C est la 4 eme chutes du monde apres Victoria(Zimbabwe, Zambie), Iguazu(Bresil, Argentine) et Niagara (Etats Unis, Canada). C est marrant elles sont toutes a une frontiere entre 2 pays.
El Salto del angel est la plus haute chute du monde 1000 metres au Venezuela
J etais a l universite de geographie je connais bien :)
Agua azul au Mexique est plus petite, tres belle d ailleurs.

....
que d exemples convinquant...
voici quelques photos ...
a la rigueur les chutes du rhin elle font 150 metres...
Toutes les autres ne sont pas larges exceptes les 3 que j ai cite Iguazu victoria et niagara. Des chutes hautes y en a un paquet dans le monde...tu n as qu a aller dans les fjords en norvege tu verras ou en nouvelle zelande...
regarde les chutes de ban gioc a cote des chutes cites excepte celles que j ai cite auparavant les autres sont parfois ridicules...et encore y a une partie des ban gioc a gauche cachee sur la photo..
Tu devrais revoir les sources de ton site...
sans rancune...jsuis pas la pour polemiquer...
si je crois que tu es pour polemiquer ou tout au moins pour vendre ton produit en tant qu agent de voyage. Mais en tant que commercial du voyage tu n es pas oblige d utiliser le mensonge pour de la verite.
Il y avait 3 petits points ce qui sous entend qu il y en a encore une chiee de cascades et autres chuttes d eau.
Regardes un peu et tu verras que ta cascade que tu essaies de vendre a tour de bras n y figure point. Serai ce une conspiration ????

D une part je n essaye pas de vendre un quelconque produit, je vante les merites d un endroit magnifique tres peu connu des touristes.
Une cascade que tres peu de tour operateurs proposent parce quils sont plus occupes a se faire de l oseil sur Sapa qui est une mine d or facile a vendre car on leur dit qu il n y a que ca dans le nord....
Pour tes chutes je te le repete encore une fois tu prends des exemples principalement que de chutes en hauteur...je t ai di que des chutes en hauteur il y en a un paquet dans le monde...va en Norvege tu comprendras.
Tu met exemple of large waterfall et les 2 premieres que tu site c est des tallest...pour info en anglais tall c est la hauteur...
D une part je n essaye pas de vendre un quelconque produit, je vante les merites d un endroit magnifique tres peu connu des touristes.
d accord avec toi, j ai pas l impression que tu essais de vendre quelque chose, mais juste a dire que c est beau. et c est beau. en plus pour une fois que l on sort du sujet de sapa, mr fabworld devrait etre content.😉
par contre si il y a quelqu un qui essait de vendre dans tous ses messages ''la compagnie bourlingue'' c est bien lui😠😉 meme si ceci dit ca vaut peut etre le coup, la ca devient du bourrage de crane, un peu comme les hauts parleurs des coins de rue.😕
ces chutes sont belles, alors qui a raison, on s en fout🤪

J'ai malheureusement oublié le nom de cette cascade près de Nha Trang mais ce fut une des plus belles journées de notre voyage au Vietnam.
Nous y étions allées en motos, c'est Ottinpac qui nous avait aidées à trouver nos motos et nos chauffeurs.
Tu peux sûrement la contacter en MP.
Et oui, on se baigne comme tu vois, même lorsqu'on a oublié de prendre des maillots ! Un superbe souvenir !!!!
Quand il n'y a pas de solution, c'est qu' il n'y a pas de problème !

Sinon je compte bien faire la Thaïlande l'année prochaine ;-)
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,

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.

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! !
