je me rends à Siem Reap dans quelques jours, je souhaite m'octroyer deux jours pour visiter le Prasat Preah Vihear... Aux dernières nouvelles, le temple est accessible et la saison sèche permet de s'y rendre relativement facilement par la route. Simplement aux vues des infos recueillies ici, j'ai l’impression qu'il faut obligatoirement passer par une agence, du moins un chauffeur pour rejoindre la zone... Le prix demandé en moyenne (160$) me pousse à explorer d'autres options, soit en minibus, puis tuc-tuc etc (au moins jusqu'à Sra Em)... J'ai aussi l'idée carrément de m'y rendre en moto (125cc j'entends). La route et la zone sont-elles accessibles en autonome dans ces conditions et en combien de temps ?
Merci grandement pour votre retour d'expérience là dessus les amis ;-) Je tâcherai de ramener de nouvelles infos fraiches sur ce sujet dès que possible...
Quelqu'un sait également si la location de moto à Siem Reap est possible ? J'ai lu ici et là que c'est impossible en raison de la la politique touristique... Autre chose, la route jusqu'au Prasat Preah Vihear en moto est-il faisable en autonome ? la période c'est janvier... Merci encore ! J'attends vos avis !
Depuis Sra Em (taxi partagé possible depuis Siem Reap, 3 h de trajet), j'ai rejoint en moto-dop le pied de la montagne. Mon moto-dop a alors passé le relais à un autre moto-dop qui m'a rapidement conduit à destination (07h30).
En repartant vers 13h00, j'ai aperçu un motocycliste occidental qui arrivait juste au sommet. Donc possible techniquement.
Comme il n'y a aucun contrôle d'accès (mais la guérite est déjà construite au pied de la montagne), c'est à ce jour juste une question d'organisation. A noter tout de même que l'ascension finale est très pentue.
Pour moi, bien qu'excentré, le site mérite amplement le déplacement.

sur siem reap on ne loue pas de moto a ma connaissance
Bonjour,
Je pense que je réponds trop tard, mais l'info pourra servir à d'autres voyageurs.
Depuis Siem Reap, il y a des mini vans jusqu'à Sra Em, ils sont stationnés en face du marché Psar Leu, 5$ pour environ 3heures de route. N'écoutez pas les agences de Siem Reap qui vous disent qu'il faut absolument prendre un taxi car il n'y a pas d'autre moyen de transport!...j'ai pris ce mini van il y a 3 jours, il existe donc bien
à Sra Em, il y a une G H au rond point: 6$ (rustique mais propre).
Pour aller jusqu'au temple: 15$ aller-retour en moto dop, y compris la moto speciale pour les derniers Km. L'entree au site est gratuit (pour le moment) mais il faut présenter son passeport.
De Sra Em, il y a un bus vers PP le matin 10$, je ne l'ai pas pris car je suis revenue du temple trop tard. J'ai pris un taxi partagé pour Kompong Thom ( c'est là que je me rendais) 10$.
Bon voyage
Marie
Merci pour ton post qui rendra service à de nombreuses personnes car pour aller au Preah Vihear en taxi il faut compter environ 160 $ ce qui est une somme très importante pour ceux qui voyagent à petit budget.
Jusque maintenant j'avais lu des explications pour se rendre au Preah Vihear sans utiliser un taxi privé mais les informations n'étaient pas aussi détaillées que les tiennes.
A mon avis et aussi de nombreuses personnes le temple de Preah Vihear "mérite amplement le détour", j'y suis allé deux fois et je pense y retourner en Juin.
Bonsoir JM,
Non, non...pas besoin de reserver, les mini vans c'est pas la grande classe !
Ils sont stationnés en face du marché (Psar Leu), et ils partent quand ils sont pleins. Departs tout au long de la matinée. Si tu as de longues jambes, je te conseille d'essayer d'obtenir une place au premier rang là où il y a un peu de place pour les jambes. Je deconseille la place à coté du conducteur, elle semble la meilleure à première vue, mais il y a de forte chance que quelqu'un d'autre monte devant en cours de route, et là, fini la bonne place, vive le frein à main dans les fesses !😕....et, vu l'état de la route, à chaque rebond, on se dit que la proàchaine fois on prendra une autre place😉.
Sur la photo jointe, un militaire monte par l'arriére du véhicule, il enjambe poules et cochons ainsi que la moto, avant d'aller s'assoir sur la banquette prévue pour trois, où il y a déjà 4 personnes....
Pour le retour vers Siem Reap, je ne peux pas te repondre, je n'ai pas demandé, vu que je partais vers Kompong Thom.
Mais vraissemblablement, si ça roule dans un sens, ça doit aussi rouler dans l'autre.
A Sra Em, au rond point ou tu sera deposé, il y a un moto-dop qui parle assez bien anglais, s'il n'est pas en balade, il te trouvera, n'hesite pas à lui demander.
Bon voyage
Marie
Bonjour,
D'après vos expérience, la montée à pied vers le temple est- elle très ardue? Est- il possible de faire en temps de pluie vers fin de juillet?
Je ne suis pas sûr que le chemin / escalier soit toujours ouvert.
En tout cas, mi-janvier 2013, l'arrivée à côté du temple est barricadée. J'ai essayé de franchir la barricade et d'emprunter l'escalier, car il y a un bas-relief que je voulais photographier, mais on est vite venu m'en empêcher.

Il est accessible depuis le Cambodge par une très bonne route (très pentue sur la fin) asphaltée, et ce depuis depuis quelques années seulement.
Autrefois, depuis le Cambodge, le temple n'était accessible que depuis un chemin qui n'était sur la fin qu'une suite d'escaliers. C'est ce chemin dont je mets en doute l'ouverture. En tout cas, j'ai constaté qu'il était condamné et interdit à son point d'arrivée.
A la mi-janvier 2013, le centre d'accueil (dont billetterie) et la guérite contrôlant l'accès à la route sont construits, mais n'étaient pas encore opérationnels. L'un des très rares sites inscrits au Patrimoine de l'Humanité à être libre d'accès (gratuit !), mais cela ne va pas le rester durablement.
En espérant m'être mieux fait comprendre.

Merci infiniment de votre réponse. J'espère que la route sera bien ouverte, sécuritaire à l'été . Je viens de lire dans un post qu'il faut payer l'entrée mais un prix encore minime, je crois.
Dans de nombreux posts rédigés dans le passé (ou même texte du Lonely Planet), une confusion est entretenue entre :
- "prix d'entrée" (non perçu en mi-janvier 2013),
- et "coût de transport" pour l'ascension via moto-dop ou 4x4 (à négocier).
Classiquement, l'accès par moto-dop depuis la plaine est facturé 5 $, mais il m'a été proposé à 4 $. Ce coût de transport peut s'avérer nul si l'on a son propre moyen de transport (ou dans le passé, ascension à pied par le chemin puis les escaliers).
Le fait qu'il faille payer quelque chose ne correspond donc pas forcément à un prix d'entrée.
A mon avis, le prix d'entrée sera au moins celui de Koh Ker (10 $), et je ne serai pas étonné que cela soit plus (12 $, voire 15 $). A moins que pour "lancer" le site auprès de la clientèle internationale, soit appliqué momentanément un tarif réduit.
Dans le passé, le site était accessible depuis la Thaïlande pour un coût total de 605 Baht, soit de l'ordre de 20 $ (au taux de change janvier 2013).

Fin 2011 j'ai payé un "droit d'accès" : 1 $.
Il fallait se faire enregistrer (avec passeport), je n'avais pas mon passeport avec moi et il n'y a pas eu de problème.
Je ne sais pas si c'est encore le cas en se moment, Fabrice n'a rien payé.
C'est seulement sur place que tu sauras si le temple est accessible ou non en fonction des "tensions éventuelles" entre Thaïlandais et Cambodgiens".
Etant arrivé au petit matin, juste après le lever de soleil, peut-être ce contrôle d'accès pour les barangs n'était-il pas encore en place à cette heure.
Sans doute était-ce le rôle de la guérite aperçue au pied de la montagne.

Bonjour,
J'interviens sur ce forum, pour communiquer des informations récentes à propos de la visite de ce temple, car j'en reviens.
Tout d'abord, je confirme qu'il est impossible de le visiter depuis la Thaïlande car la frontière est fermée.
Le prix de la course en moto dop depuis Sra em est de 15 euros, auxquels il faut ajouter 5 euros si l'on choisit de monter par la route cimentée. Sinon, il est toujours possible de monter par l'escalier ( environ 2200 marches, j'ai mis 45 mn, mais j'ai 68 ans).
L'entrée sur le site est gratuite, il suffit de montrer son passeport au guichet avant de monter l'escalier ou de prendre la seconde moto pour la section finale. Un billet en bonne et due forme est alors délivré gratuitement.
Enfin, l'état des routes est excellent, aussi bien depuis Stung Treng, que depuis Kompong Thom ou Siem Reap; il y a donc de nombreux taxis partagés ou minivans disponibles.
Ces informations sont bien sûr valables ce jour, mais susceptibles d'évoluer; par exemple, la section finale, très pentue par endroits, peut être remplacée par une route avec une plus faible déclivité en cours de construction.
Bonne visite aux futurs voyageurs.
Pierre
Le prix de la course en moto dop depuis Sra em est de 15 euros
Est-ce la course aller-et-retour (donc attente incluse) ou juste un trajet simple ?
Pour ma part, j'avais pu négocier l'approche à 5$, même prix pour le retour avec le même interlocuteur. Mais je comprends mieux pourquoi il a cherché au retour à relever le prix, j'ai même dû partir à pied sur la route pour qu'il revienne aux dispositions initiales.
il est toujours possible de monter par l'escalier ( environ 2200 marches, j'ai mis 45 mn, mais j'ai 68 ans).
Bravo ! C'était un entraînement pour les cols du Ladakh ? Pas sûr que j'en serai capable au même âge.
Une fois sur le site, ce que vous avez ensuite vu méritait-il cet effort ?
Fabrice
S'exposer à l'Etranger lointain amène à mieux connaître et comprendre sa propre Culture.
Ce prix de course est tout compris, trajet et attente. Je n'ai pas cherché à le négocier, car j'avais vu sur le forum qu'il était à dix euros les années passées. Je me suis dit que cette augmentation était due à l'inflation. Et comme il n'y a pas beaucoup de touristes par là pour le moment, je voulais que le moto dop gagne un peu sa vie.
Pour info, on a du arriver à la guérite des tickets à huit heures, et on est reparti à onze heures trente.
La visite vaut vraiment la peine, même s'il y a presque plus de soldats que de touristes. Le lieu est calme puisqu'on est sur un plateau dominant la campagne envronnante. En plus , le faible nombre de touristes permet de s'attarder là où on le désire. Un soldat vous prête même ses jumelles pour voir les garde-frontières thaïlandais (évidemment petit bakshish...).
Il est vrai que je suis un habitué des treks dans le Ladakh et le Zanskar...mais il y fait moins chaud, surtout au mois de mars.Le fait de monter à pied n'est pas pour moi une recherche de performance, celà permet de m'imaginer un peu (car les escaliers n'existaient pas) les efforts que les khmers de l'époque devaient déployer pour se rendre sur ce site.

Pour la visite du Preah Vihear, je connais un chauffeur de taxi qui parle très bien anglais qui demande (ce sont des prix promo du 15 mars à Août 2014) :
95$ : Preah Vihear (trajet aller retour et attente sur place)
110$ : Preah Vihear - Beng Mealea (idem)
105$ : Preah Vihear - Along Veng (idem)
115$ : Preah Vihear - Koh Ker (idem)
Il n'y a pas de passe à payer mais si vous désirez faire la montée du Preah Vihear en :
Moto dop : 5$/personne
4x4 : 25$
Entrée à payer pour :
Beng Mealea : 5$/personne
Koh Ker : 10$/personne
Si ça peut vous aider ;)
Amicalement
Iza
Bonne préparation de voyage et je vous souhaite de belles découvertes !
Eh bien, que de bonnes nouvelles ! Merci. Espérons que les Thaïs ne vont pas remettre ça avec leur salade de PV appartenant à la Thailande, ce que le gouvernement fait de temps en temps pour rallier le bon peuple quand il y a un problème intérieur.
Hélas hélas, je n'ai pas pu le faire car on m'avait raconté qu'il n'y avait qu'un lieu d'hébérgement dans le coin, une resort hors de prix. J'ai découvert trop tard qu'il y a avait aussi des GH à Sa Aem.Ce sera pour la prochaine fois !
Ily a un moyen d'aller à PV par la Thailande, c'est de rentrer au Cambodge par le poste frontière du bourg Thaï de OSMACH et, une fois au Cambodge, la route qui longe la frontière Phang-Anlong Veng-Sa Aem.
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!

Salut Larsay
Tu confirmes qu'il n'est pas possible de se rendre au temple directement de la Thailande pour une visite éclair dans la journée?
sans faire un détour et sans passer l'immigration.
pas possible de venir du coté thai, il reste le vieux panneau de frontiere mais c'est tout et les militaires cambodgiens ont installé un terrain de volley ball... en discutant avec eux , confirmation qu'il n'y a pas d'arrivée depuis la thailande.
Bonsoir,
Je souhaite aller au Prasat Preah Vihear à la fin du mois via le Cambodge, est il accessible en ce moment ?
Est est il possible en Van (pas les moyens pour le taxi, à mois de trouver d'autres voyageurs), de faire le trajet aller seulement, en faisant un Stop à Koh Ker ? Et ensuite passer une nuit pour repartir sur le sud après.
Et aussi l'escalier est il facilement accessible/visible ?
Merci !
Alors pour la période aucune idée mais pour le van je ne te le conseille pas. Le cambodge n'a pas de route a proprement parler. Les vans je ne pense même pas que tu va en trouvé. A la rigueur en petit moto si tu trouve un loueur. La route ne peut de toute façon se pratiqué en grosse auto apparemment.
Il vaut mieux acheter un ticket pour un mini bus avec chauffeur. Mais se sera surement cher. En tout ne roule pas de toi même tu va vite devenir fou et assez dangereux.
Van = minibus. je compte pas louer de moto pour de long trajet. Sur cambodge post il est indiqué qu'une route pratiquable a été construite vers le nord.
je n 'y suis pas allé cette année , donc pas de nouvelles fraiches, mais pas d'info comme quoi les choses auraient changé.
depuis siem reap , trouvé un van , la route est sans probleme , ou depuis phnom penh , il y a une compagnie de bus , une fois par jour
on l'avait fait depuis pp , on avait dormi a sra em, pour avoir toute la journée de libre. ensuite trouver un motodop pas trop cher, et direction le pied du temple pour paiement taxe et montée en moto ou voiture. cela commencé a s'organiser serieusement a l'epoque , et n'ai pas souvenir de personne montant a pied.
c'est un site magnifique , tres different des autres. cette tres longue montée d'escaliers et temples jusqu'au haut de la falaise est un tres beau moment . l'ideal est de le faire depuis le bas ou etait le passage frontiere (maintenant on arrive apres le premier grand escalier , par le coté cambodgien, donc redescendre si tu es courageux)
je suppose que les militaires font toujours du camping , la haut, du volley ball et soutire gentiment de l'argent aupres des touristes
j ai hate d'y retourner
Nous allons sur Siem Reap le mois prochain, et comme nous avons encore un peu de temps, nous souhaitons rejoindre le Prasat Preah Vihear.
Merci déjà pour toutes ces bonnes informations. En espérant que cela n'a pas trop changé depuis l'année dernière ;)
Pour le retour, nous souhaitons rentrer sur PP, mais j'ai lu dans le routard qu'il est possible de combiner le trajet avec d'autres temples dans la région (Koh ker, Preah Khan...), sans plus de détail. Ma question est donc : savez vous s'il est facile de rejoindre un de ces temples depuis Prasat Preah Vihear (en bus ou minivan) ?
Lors de ma visite en janvier 2013, il n'y avait aucune liaison régulière avec le moindre autre site archéologique. Par contre, depuis Sra Em, il y a des taxis collectifs pour Siem Reap (via la route du Nord) et pour Tbaeng Meanchey.
Si la route était confortable de Siem Reap à Sra Em, comme de Sra Em à Tbaeng Meanchey, et de Tbaeng Meanchey à Koh Ker, ce n'était généralement pas le cas sur d'autres itinéraires.
Ainsi le Preah Khan de Kompong Svay était à l'écart des axes bien carrossables.
Preah Vihear peut se combiner avec d'autres sites, Koh Ker est généralement proposé par les agences, mais il faut réaliser que Koh Ker est très vaste, car il n'y a pas que la pyramide à y voir.
Pour ma part, j'ai préféré consacrer 1/2 journée à Koh ker, puis j'ai été couché à Sra Em. Lendemain matin consacré à la visite de Preah Vihear, puis trajet jusqu'à Siem Reap via taxi partagé.

As-tu une idée du temps que prend le trajet (et des horaires, qui sait ?😉) du (ou des) bus ou minivans qui vont de Sra Em à Kampong Thom ? Nous passons deux nuits à Sra Em fin février et ensuite 2 à Kampong Thom avant de rejoindre Phnom Penh.
Désolé, je n'ai pas suivi cet itinéraire en son entier.
De Tbaeng Meanchey à Sra Em (86 km, route en parfait état en janvier 2013), cela a dû prendre environ 1h30 en taxi collectif, en fin de journée.
Lors de ma préparation de voyage, fin 2012, je n'avais connaissance que d'un autocar partant tôt le matin de Sra Em pour Phnom Penh et passant par Kompong Thom.
A mon avis, les taxis collectifs ne vont pas jusqu'à Kompong Thom, il faut sans doute changer par Tbaeng Meanchey. Ce qui n'est pas vraiment difficile.
Fabrice

A titre d'information depuis Siem Reap je suis allé à Koh Ker en 2014 en voiture avec chauffeur pour 65US$ à l'époque on ne pouvait pas louer de moto à SR , maintenant que c'est possible la visite peut se faire dans la journée.
En 2014 j'étais seul sur le site et cela vaut le coût de se faire la route.
L'an passé je suis allé au Pasat Preah Vihar en voiture également pour 110US$(nous étions deux) la route est en très bon état et la visite se fait dans la journée sans problème.On peut donc y aller en moto.
Je confirme que le temple n'est pas accessible côté thailandais.
Il ne faut pas hésiter à visiter ces deux sites vireges de touristes avant qu'ils ne soit trop tard

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.
Hello,
After 1 night in Khao Sok, I’d like to find a 2 Days 1 Night package on the lake.
After reading a lot, I decided to "break the bank" and treat ourselves to a private tour—mainly to avoid the crowds.
But after contacting several operators, they offer "private tours" that are very expensive (around 700 €), yet in the details, the boats can only leave from the pier at 10 AM like everyone else. (I was hoping to leave much earlier.) The morning program is the same for everyone too (private or not). They drop us off at noon at our floating hotel (I’d chosen Phupha Waree). Free afternoon (swimming or kayaking in front of the hotel). We head back by boat for a 1-hour sunset ride. And the next morning, we leave the hotel at 8 AM to be at the pier by 9:30 AM at the latest—end of the trip.
So basically, we’re paying a lot for a private tour just to do the same thing as everyone else at the same time.
Or maybe I just had bad luck in my search.
I contacted Panida Ladi, who’s very popular on forums. We’d agreed on a private tour that matched my request (departure from the pier at 8 AM, very personalized itinerary). We settled on the itinerary and price, she asked for a Wise transfer for a 30% deposit, confirmed receipt of the deposit. Then 30 minutes later, she messaged me to say she was canceling everything because it was impossible to do the requested tour—and promised a quick refund of my deposit.
So here’s my question: Who’s done a *real* private tour on this lake? Who can recommend a reliable agency? Is it even really possible to do a private tour here?
Hi,
I wanted to get some info about the cable car and the bridge—I see lots of different options...
How much time should we allow for these two activities? If we arrive around 4 PM, will we have enough time to visit without rushing?
Thanks
I’m searching for a real gem for my 3rd stay in Koh Lanta: a lovely, high-quality hotel right by an easily accessible beach in a lively spot.
If you know of anything that fits what I’m looking for and want to share, don’t hesitate!
Hi,
On September 1st, we're heading to Kalimantan for six weeks, probably from Pontianak to the Derawan Islands.
I've scoured this site, which is usually my go-to 😉, and others like VoyageForum, but recent info is pretty scarce.
I'd love any tips on places you've visited—our itinerary is still a work in progress.
We're two couples traveling with backpacks, using buses, boats, guesthouses, and homestays.
Thanks in advance!
Hi! I’d like to split my trip into two parts: 15 days in Phuket and 15 days in Krabi. Do you know if I can rent a car and drop it off in Krabi when I fly back to France?
Thanks for your feedback!
Have a great Sunday!
Martine
Hi, is anyone there in Flores right now? According to some websites, everything is closed and the situation is tough. But our guide says it's fine. Who should we believe? We're supposed to leave on September 2nd. Thanks to anyone in Flores at the moment!
Hi dear community,
I'm planning to visit Cambodia this winter, right after Christmas, for my first solo trip and my first trip to Asia. For two weeks (yes, I know it's short, but I really can't do more...). I have two main desires: Siem Reap and the countryside, the villages, the Mekong...
What do you think of this itinerary? Arrival in Siem Reap, departure from Phnom Penh.
SR: 5 days (1 day for arrival, 3 for the temples, 1 for the lake and its villages)
Kratie (stop on the way to Mondolkiri): 3 days (1 day of travel, 2 days there)
Mondolkiri/Sen Monorom: 4 days (1 day of travel, 1 day there, 2 days of treks)
PP: 3 days (1 day of travel, 2 days of sightseeing)
I think I need to cut one day somewhere if I travel from Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday. In Kratie, maybe? Or in PP? And I'll miss the boat trip that everyone recommends (SR-Battambang), but I don't see where to fit it in. Unless I do a PP-PP loop starting in the east, skip Kratie or just stay one night, then SR, then PP.
In my timing, Mondolkiri seems closer than Ratanakiri, which also tempted me a lot! Will it be too complicated alone? I'm thinking of using local guides or a small local agency for a nature and village getaway.
I've read that Siem Reap is very crowded between Christmas and New Year's. I could also do the circuit in the opposite direction. But I thought it would be easier to get familiar with the country by arriving in a touristy area—I might be wrong...
Thanks for your advice and opinions!
Hi everyone.
I’m planning my trip, and based on all the posts I’ve read, this country is amazing.
Of course, I’ve got a ton of questions for you.
Here’s a possible itinerary: Vientiane - Vang Vieng - Phonsavan - Sam Neua - Nong Khiaw + villages - Phongsali - Luang Namtha and the area - Udomxai - Huay Xai - Luang Prabang and back to Vientiane.
What do you think?
We’re planning to prioritize local transport—is it possible to do this loop?
We’d also love to go kayaking, but I’m not sure if the season’s right or where the best spot is.
For trekking—I read that Phongsali is the most authentic spot to visit villages and see wildlife. Do you know of a reliable agency and a guesthouse with reasonable prices?
Is it worth taking a slow boat for a stretch on the Mekong, and if so, which route?
For accommodations, is it better to book through Booking.com and Agoda or look when we arrive?
Are mosquitoes bad in Laos, and should we take malaria prophylaxis?
What’s the average daily budget (accommodation, food, visits)?
Is renting scooters a good option for exploring towns, and if so, which ones?
From what I’ve read, it’s best to carry cash—euros or dollars? Is it risky to walk around with that much cash?
I’ve still got tons of questions. Thanks to anyone who can help, and I’m open to all tips, info, etc.
Thanks again
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Vietnam in February, specifically Da Nang and Hoi An.
Does anyone know a French-speaking guide in the area?
Thanks for your help
Hi there,
I’m planning a family trip (my wife and I, both 47, and our two sons, aged 5 and 12) to Malaysia for the last week of June and the first two weeks of July 2027.
We used to love road trips as a couple, then as a trio, but since our second child arrived, we’ve taken a break with "camping village" style trips.
Now feels like the right time to get back to our old habits, while adjusting the pace for the kids.
We’re craving Asia. We’ve been lucky enough to visit Thailand, Indonesia (Bali and Lombok), and Sri Lanka before.
Friends have raved about Malaysia, so we’re definitely tempted.
For those who know and love Malaysia, what would be a good itinerary starting from Kuala Lumpur, with a maximum of 3-4 stops? We’d like a mix of culture, nature, and relaxation (just to clarify, we’re not big beach fans). All of this without rushing, of course.
Hello,
We’re a family of four with two teens aged 16 and 18. We’re heading to Thailand this summer. We’ll arrive in Bangkok and plan to take a flight to Luang Prabang.
I’ve seen there are some great visits and excursions to do (temples, markets, waterfalls) and maybe even venture a bit north to places like Nong Khiaw, Muang Xay, Muang Ngoy, or Oudom Xay.
But I’ve also heard about the Bokeo region with the Gibbon Experience.
Since we won’t be able to do everything, I’d love to hear about your experiences, impressions, and advice on the two options I’m considering, especially since we’ll be meeting family in Chiang Mai, Thailand, afterward.
Option 1: A loop from Luang Prabang heading slightly north, then a flight from Luang Prabang to Chiang Mai.
Option 2: A few days in Luang Prabang, exploring within a few dozen kilometers around, then heading to Bokeo province for the 2-day/1-night Gibbon Experience. For this option, I saw on Rome2Rio that it’s possible to book a ferry trip on the Mekong from Luang Prabang to Huay Xay—they mention about 8 hours. But is that realistic? What type of boat is it?
Then, to get to Chiang Mai, there aren’t many options—bus or minivan—but how does crossing the border work?
Finally, for those of you who’ve been to Laos in August, what was the weather like?
We’ve already visited Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia during the same period over the past four years and weren’t really bothered by bad weather.
I’m starting a discussion about guides in the Mekong Delta because we’ve just finished our trip in this region and had a hard time finding a French-speaking guide. We had Thanh—she speaks French really well and travels all over the delta region, including Ho Chi Minh City. She’s super friendly and flexible. I recommend her wholeheartedly. If it can help someone...
Feel free to contact us for her number.
Hi everyone,
I couldn’t find any recent info on Kuching.
Can anyone recommend a hotel or guesthouse for under 100 RM that’s nice and affordable? No dorms, please.
Also, does it rain a lot in November, and is it still worth visiting Semenggoh or Bako?
We’ll be arriving in Phnom Penh this coming January and we’re thinking of starting our trip with a stop in Kampong Cham, then Kratie.
After Kratie, we’re considering heading toward Siem Reap with a stop in Kampong Thom.
That said, I’m not really sure how long the Kratie–Kampong Thom journey might take or how complicated it is.
Does this stop on the way to Siem Reap seem like a good idea to you?
If we don’t visit the Sambor Prei Kuk site, are there still any walks or sights worth checking out in Kampong Thom?
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...
After a stay on Koh Phayam this coming November, I’d like to spend 2 or 3 days on Koh Phra Thong before heading further south.
Do you think it’s doable to leave Koh Phayam early enough to catch the 10 AM boat from Khura Buri to Koh Phra Thong? The next one isn’t until 4 PM, which would cost me a whole day.
I’m planning a trip to Indonesia, specifically Sulawesi and Java, in September for 10 days.
I don’t know this part of the world at all—any advice is welcome!
I’ll be traveling solo and would also love tips on meeting other travelers or locals.
Hello everyone,
Not long ago, I used to travel as a couple, but my husband has since passed away, and I’ve decided to set off again. The trip I took to Cambodia in January 2025 did me a world of good.
I’m now considering Thailand, a destination we never included in our plans because even 15 years ago, people said it was too touristy. Still, I’m thinking about the itinerary below, but I don’t feel up to arranging buses, trains, or guides on my own while I’m there. I’m looking for one or more drivers and have been in touch with an agency, but their offers are just copy-paste group tours that I don’t want.
So, if you have any contacts, experiences, or advice, I’d be so grateful if you’d share them with me. Here’s my rough plan:
Arrival in Bangkok
Ayutthaya (2 nights)
Kanchanaburi (2 or 3 nights)
Sangkhlaburi/Sai Yok (3 nights)
Sukhothai (2 nights)
Lampang (I’ve planned 3 nights, but that might be a bit much—it depends on what time I arrive in the city)
Chiang Mai
Chiang Dao
Pai
Chiang Rai
I was thinking about the Mae Hong Son loop—thoughts?
What do you think about staying overnight at the Golden Triangle?
When I look online, of course, I can find agencies that organize tours to national parks, etc.
I’m retired but in great physical shape. I’d rather go hiking than sit in hot springs with crowds of tourists who’ve all arranged meet-ups. I don’t want to spend a day at an elephant camp, and I don’t want to visit Karen villages.
I’d love to hear your advice.
Thank you all,
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,
From Malacca to get to Jerantut, is it better to go back to KL and take a bus from there, or take a bus to Tampin and then a train? Any feedback on the "Jungle Train"? (duration, price, comfort, etc.). Thanks
Hi there,
We’re planning a 3-week family trip next summer with our three kids, who’ll be 8, 8, and 7 years old.
After some research, we’re leaning toward Malaysia to combine nature/forests and paradise beaches. The idea is to introduce our kids to the country’s culture, nature, and wildlife.
We want a great trip but without splurging on luxury options like high-end lodges and resorts. We’re looking for comfort with a touch of authenticity—basically, a good middle ground.
I’ve started putting together an itinerary and would love your expert advice and tips to help us build this amazing trip with our little ones.

Hi everyone,
We’re heading to Flores and then Bali at the end of September.
We’ve already visited both but this time, once we’re in Labuan Bajo, we’d like to take a boat to the Komodo Islands to see the famous Komodo dragons.
I don’t want to sleep on the boat—just a day trip would be perfect.
Does anyone know a reliable and friendly provider to recommend?
Thanks in advance, and have a great summer!
Summer seems to be the best time weather-wise for Bali.
And since summer’s when we can take a long trip, let’s go for Bali... even though we know it’ll be *packed* with people!
So we’ll steer clear of the island’s south...
Our current plan (19 days on the ground, 7 stops):
- 4 Nights (3 days) in Ubud
2 days for rice terraces / activities (Tegallalang, Campuhan Ridge, Monkey Forest, Bird Park, coffee plantation, market (?), dance "pestacle," cooking class and/or spa)
1 day with a driver for the Temples (Pura Gunung Kawi, Tirta Empul Spring, Pura Mengening, Goa Gajah...)
- 2 nights in Sidemen (1 day for Pura Kehen + Batur Caldera + Pura Besakih and 1 day to relax in the rice terraces)
- 3 nights on Gili Meno (Rest and beaches) from Padangbai
- 2 nights in Amed (1 day from Padangbai with the Abang rice terrace and Tirta Gangga baths, and the next day a boat tour in Amed)
- 4 nights in Pemuteran (1 day for transfer and rest, 1 day to visit Kawah Ijen, and 2 days of snorkeling at Menjangan Island)
- 2 nights in Munduk (1 day with the Dayang rice terrace and the 3-waterfall hike, 1 day at Pura Ulun Danu Bratan)
- 2 nights in Jatiluwih (1 day in the rice terraces, and on the last day, we’ll stop by Pura Taman Ayun in Mengwi and Pura Tanah Lot before catching our red-eye flight).
Accommodations in homestays or hotels.
Transportation to be arranged on-site with the lodgings (?)
Boat to Gili Meno to book in advance (?)
Kawah Ijen excursion to plan ahead (?)—check with the homestay (?)
Thanks for your thoughts/comments to help us explore this destination...
After reading and researching, we're planning the following stops in Cambodia in January 2027:
- Phnom Penh
- Kampong Cham
- Kratie
- Siem Reap
- Battambang
- Kampot (round trip)
I'm wondering about the direction of these stops, which could also influence our international flights.
Either a round trip from Phnom Penh in the order above.
Or landing in Siem Reap with the following order:
This second option would save us the Battambang - PP - Kampot trip but means doing a round trip to Battambang from Siem Reap and placing the "highlight of the trip" (Angkor) at the beginning of our stay.
Hi there,
We’re planning to travel from Chiang Rai to Luang Prabang next November.
We’d like to take a slow boat from Chiang Khong—or rather from Huay Xai in Laos—with an overnight stop in Pakbeng.
Could you let us know if the boat still leaves Huay Xai in the late morning? If so, what time roughly, and what’s the price for the trip?
Thanks for your help!

We (3 adults: 68, 65, and 25 years old) are just back from a short trip to the Philippines, and I’d like to share a little summary of our journey. First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who contributes to this forum about this destination and answers the questions of those who aren’t familiar with it. I should also mention that my comments are personal and don’t reflect anyone else’s opinions. Since I don’t have any literary or photographic talent, I’ll stick to the facts and share a few details about the sights, hotels, and restaurants.
Preparations:
We chose this destination in December and quickly booked our flight tickets (540 € with Turkish Airlines) for a departure on February 16 and return on March 5, 2019. We then contacted two French-speaking tour operators based in Manila, asking them to put together an itinerary based on our wishes (places to visit, type of accommodation) and our budget. We wanted to see the rice terraces in northern Luzon, the hanging coffins in Sagada, before flying to the Visayas (Bohol, Siquijor, etc.), and the Taal Volcano, while limiting our nights in Manila as much as possible. In the end, we opted for Alize, whose itinerary and quote matched our request almost perfectly. Our exchanges helped us refine our circuit.
International flights:
The round-trip flights went smoothly. Turkish Airlines, while not at the level of Asian or Gulf airlines, does the job just fine.
Day 1:
We landed on time (6:15 PM) on Monday, February 16, at Terminal 3. We exchanged our euros (near the car rental counters), and I can confirm the exchange rate was very good. On the way to the St. Giles Hotel (decent and affordable for a transit night), we got our first glimpse of Manila’s dense traffic. The Makati district, where our hotel was located, offers a wide choice of restaurants, so we grabbed a quick bite to recover from the trip.
Day 2:
This day was dedicated to transferring to Banaue. Fortunately, we had a comfortable van and an excellent driver for this journey, which took all day (8 to 9 hours with stops). We got a taste of driving in the Philippines—and it’s terrifying. You wouldn’t want to drive on these roads. The first thing that struck us was the relatively good condition of the roads and the cleanliness (a change from other Southeast Asian countries). This impression lasted throughout our trip. Around 6 PM, we checked into our room at the Banaue Hotel (large, charm-free, but with a beautiful view of the rice terraces).
Day 3:
With the help of a local guide, we took a jeepney to Batad. And then—wow! The rice terraces form an amphitheater overlooking the small village. Under the sun, it’s simply spectacular and breathtaking! Even though we’re familiar with rice terraces (Sapa, Bali, Thailand, etc.), we were dazzled by so much beauty. We spent the day walking along the terrace walls. This place is timeless and fully deserves its UNESCO World Heritage status. However, we returned to the hotel exhausted (due to our ages and lack of exercise). We had dinner with our driver at the Las Vegas restaurant in the center of Banaue. The meal was decent, cheap, and the Filipino owner played the guitar to accompany our dinner.
Day 4:
Today, our driver took us to Sagada. The mountain road offered spectacular landscapes (about 1.5 to 2 hours). Along the way, we stopped in Bontoc to visit the small but interesting anthropological museum. It features old photos and various objects from the Ifugao tribes, as well as a reconstruction of primitive dwellings.
We then went on a short hike in Sagada with a very friendly local guide who explained the region’s funeral rites. The walk started at the communal cemetery before reaching “Echo Valley,” where we saw the first coffins hanging on the cliff. We continued to the “Underground River” and a small waterfall, ending our journey in the “Lumiang Cave” burial cave. All in all, this day was very interesting. On the way back, we made a few photo stops.
In the evening, on our driver’s recommendation, we ate at the “Bistro,” a French enclave in the center of Banaue (good pizza, roasted quail, homemade fries).
Day 5:
Today was a transfer day. To limit fatigue and nights in Manila, our tour operator arranged a flight from Clark to Tagbilaran (Bohol), saving us 2 to 3 hours of driving. But to catch our flight, we had to leave very early: 5:30 AM. Our kind driver dropped us off on time at the airport. To use it, we had to pay a 150 PHP tax per person. The Philippine Airlines flight (15 minutes) left early and was far from full. Upon arrival, we were taken to the Loboc River Hotel, on the banks of the river of the same name. A very charming lodge lost in a tropical garden. We stayed in a stilt cottage overlooking the river. We relaxed a bit in the lovely pool. This place is really great—the staff is charming, and the food is excellent for a reasonable price.
Day 6:
This day was dedicated to exploring Bohol. The program was classic, starting with the tarsier sanctuary. We saw a few specimens in a small garden, each pointed out by a staff member. It was both good and disappointing because the animals were in pseudo-freedom in a small enclosure. Then we went to the “Chocolate Hills” and climbed 240 steps to admire the panoramic view of the hills—but by 10 AM, it was crowded. On the way back, we stopped at the butterfly garden, which was uninteresting: tiny, with few butterflies. We consoled ourselves by photographing beautiful flowers. To please our teen, we stopped at the Loboc Eco Tourism Adventure Park and crossed the river lying down, suspended from a steel cable (300 PHP). Finally, we had the traditional lunch-cruise on the Loboc River. It was a factory-like experience, and the meal was unremarkable. The only good thing was the singer on each boat and the lush vegetation. Afterward, we visited colonial churches and the cathedral, remnants of the Spanish presence, before returning to the hotel for a well-deserved dip in the pool. Note that for those interested, there’s an arena near the hotel where cockfights are held every Sunday—something Filipinos are passionate (if not obsessed) about.
Day 8:
Very early departure for the port. We boarded a *banca* in search of dolphins. After about an hour of sailing, we were lucky enough to spot around a hundred dolphins. Our boat then headed to the small and charming island of Pamilacan. After a walk through the little village, we came across locals traditionally building a boat. They told us it takes about a month to finish their outrigger boat. Then we had to choose our snorkeling spot between the coral garden, the fish park, and the turtle enclosure. Note that a fee is charged for each spot: 150 PHP per place and per person. It felt a bit like we were being ripped off, especially since the spots weren’t amazing—we’d see much better on Apo for much less. We had lunch on the island at one of the many small eateries (350 PHP per person).
Days 9 and 10:
On our return, we were taken to the Bohol Sea Resort on Panglao Island, where we stayed for 2 nights. It’s a small, recent establishment in a quiet corner of the island. It’s relaxing—maybe a bit too much. It has a nice pool and access to Danao Beach, but the view is blocked by a flotilla of boats. We didn’t try their diving school. The meals were good. If we had to do it again, we’d skip this stop to spend more time in Negros.
Days 11 and 12:
We took a fast ferry (Ocean Jet) from Tagbilaran port to Dumaguete and were taken to the Thalatta Resort, about 20 km away near Zamboanguita. We stayed there for 2 nights. Let’s just say it was our favorite. It’s a small place facing Apo Island. The rooms are simple, and the pool, nestled in a magnificent tropical garden, is fantastic. The staff is friendly, and the meals are very good. The hotel has its own diving center (snorkeling gear provided) and its own boats. We booked the Apo Island excursion: 1,350 PHP per person, including lunch. It was incredible: magnificent corals, colorful fish, and turtles of all sizes. The crew was endlessly kind and didn’t hesitate to dive to guide us to the best spots. In short, a perfect day. This site is ranked among the top 5 diving spots in the Philippines.
Since we were lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday morning, we explored the surprising Malapay Market, a 10-minute walk from our hotel. You’ll find numerous stalls selling vegetables, fruits, live or dried fish, and handicrafts. Enclosures are set up for selling livestock (calves, zebu, pigs). There are also restaurants. We were lucky to see two pigs roasted traditionally on a spit. There are few Europeans, and the people are warm. A great moment.
We left this beautiful place with regret because we didn’t have time to visit the island or go swimming with whale sharks.
Days 12 to 15:
From Dumaguete port, we took a short crossing (1 hour with Ocean Jet) to Siquijor Island to reach the Coco Grove Beach Resort. A beautiful hotel nestled in a spacious tropical garden. Several restaurants and bars, 4 pools. Despite the size of the place, it remains intimate. You can snorkel (corals and fish) right in front of the beautiful beach. We stayed in a very pleasant duplex suite. For those interested, there’s a spa and a diving center. You can also take the Apo Island excursion (offered at 1,950 PHP).
We spent our days relaxing between the pool and the beach. In the evening, the sunsets over Negros and Apo were stunning.
We booked an island tour with a comfortable tricycle from the hotel (1,500 PHP). The circuit was classic and allowed us to go around the island. We discovered beaches, the famous 400-year-old ficus tree with its enormous roots, and its equally famous foot bath with its cleaning fish. Then we visited the St. Isidore Convent before heading to the Cambugahay waterfalls and their four pools. The setting is idyllic, and the water is surprisingly good—we had a lot of fun swimming. We had dinner at a restaurant overlooking the island, where you can see Apo, Cebu, and Negros. In the end, Siquijor turned out to be a real little tropical paradise.
Since the hotel restaurants were expensive, we dined at nearby establishments: Fuego (clean, good—excellent raw fish—and quiet), Chekesch (louder), and the very pleasant Baha Bar, which brews its own beer and offers more refined cuisine.
Days 15 to 16:
We left at dawn to return to Dumaguete and its airport by ferry. We had breakfast at the Coco Grande Hotel, an annex of the previous one. The Philippine Airlines flight went smoothly. A driver took us to the town of Taal. We stayed at Paradores Del Castillo, right in the heart of the old town. It’s a charming old house with only 6 rooms. The various rooms are decorated with antiques—a real little museum. The garden is pleasant and opens onto the town.
It’s an old early 19th-century house converted into a hotel, beautifully arranged with 6 rooms in the heart of the city. The restaurant in the garden is very pleasant and offers a panoramic view.
We visited an old Spanish house before heading to the beautiful Basilica of St. Martin of Tours, one of the most beautiful religious buildings in the Philippines. A mass was in progress, allowing us to gauge the Filipinos’ fervor before we could visit. When we left, it was dark, and we could admire the illuminated building. We ended our evening by exploring the night market with its many fruit and skewer stalls. A nice surprise.
In the morning, we were taken to the shores of Taal Lake, an ancient caldera where a second volcano has formed in the middle of the lake, which in turn contains another lake. We boarded a *banca* to reach the island in the middle of the lake. This was followed by an uphill walk, made difficult by the high temperature (36°C) and the dust on the path. The dust was worsened by the many horses carrying (or bringing back) the less courageous. To illustrate the difficulty of the climb, the trail is marked by the Stations of the Cross and its 14 stations. We were panting while our guide trotted far ahead. Our effort was rewarded when we reached the summit and its viewpoints over the inner lake and the surroundings. The wisps of smoke seen here and there confirmed we were on an active volcano. Inside the lake, there are supposedly 45 small volcanoes, one of which emerged during its last eruption in 1911.
On the way back, we had lunch by the lake before returning to Manila and the Bayleaf Hotel, whose main merit is its location in the Intramuros district. In the late afternoon, we walked along the walls of the old city.
We had dinner on the hotel’s panoramic terrace overlooking the city and the bay.
Day 17:
Last day! Our tour operator joined us for a tour of the Intramuros district. He enriched the visit with comments on the history, geopolitics, and economy of the Philippines. We visited the Manila Cathedral, destroyed 7 times in the past (6 earthquakes and the 1945 bombing). It’s beautiful, and its stained glass is magnificent. We couldn’t enter the San Agustin Church, the oldest Catholic building in Manila. We passed by the memorial to the Battle of Manila, which claimed over 100,000 lives. We visited the area around Casa Manila, which was closed on Monday, and had a drink at Barbara’s cabaret, located in a historic house. A very enriching morning.
Then we went to the Mall of Asia, the world’s largest shopping mall, to buy some souvenirs (Kultura store) before being taken to the airport. We exchanged our last pesos at the buying rate right after check-in.
The return flight went smoothly. We regretted not being able to use the facilities of Istanbul’s new airport, as its opening was delayed by another month.
Finances:
In the end, we spent 1,640 € for the international flights, 4,200 € for the stay (hotels, visits, various transports) with the agency (whose professionalism we can only praise), and about 700 € for meals, tips, and souvenirs.
Summary:
Luckily, we had beautiful weather throughout our stay, with temperatures between 26 and 35°C. Discovering the Philippines was a wonderful experience. The diversity of the landscapes, the kindness of the Filipinos, the cleanliness, and the truly delicious fruits (especially pineapples and mangoes). We were never harassed, unlike in many touristy countries. On the other hand, the food, though generally cheap, wasn’t exceptional.
Since this country is so vast, we might return in the near future.
Though I’m not a specialist on this destination, I’m happy to answer your questions based on my experience.
So, my flight tickets have just been booked for a trip to Cambodia from November 4th to 27th, 2025.
I’ll be traveling solo and want to explore this amazing country while getting a bit off the beaten path.
I’m arriving in Phnom Penh and also departing from Phnom Penh.
My goal is to travel as much as possible by bus and scooter.
What itinerary would you recommend?
What are the must-do things?
I’m open to all tips and info.
Thanks in advance for your help and responses.
