Hi there,
My trip starts on 09-11-2026 for 3 months of travel:
Bangkok
Southern, Central, then Northern Thailand
I’ll cross into Laos by sea, then spend 4 weeks hiking, biking, sightseeing, and helping out locally.
Finally, I’ll head to Cambodia for another 4 weeks of hiking, biking, sightseeing, and local volunteering before flying back to CDG.
I’ll also be doing local activities like yoga and meditation, etc...

Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Thailand.
Since we’ll only be there for two and a half weeks, we want to visit the Krabi area and then Chiang Mai. So we won’t take the train—it’s too long in terms of travel time. We’re wondering if it’s more worthwhile to buy the flight tickets on the spot? If so, is the price difference really significant? From what I see on online booking sites, you’re looking at between 35 and 60 € per person for a Krabi/Chiang Mai route.
Hi there! Right now, we're in the southeast part, Isan, staying with a French guy. We don’t cook much—at most, a restaurant meal for 5 people costs us 1000 baht, with 3 big tsinga and, of course, a full stomach.
hi everyone, here’s the thing
I just made a hotel reservation
on Agoda through Kayak
I found an interesting hotel in Krabi—booking directly through Agoda was 160 € per night, but when I searched the same hotel and dates on Kayak, it showed 136 € per night... So I went with that option via Kayak, and I landed on Agoda with the original price of 160 € crossed out and the new price at 136 €. I completed the payment and instantly received an email from Agoda confirming the booking.
But why such a discount? I’ve got quite a few more bookings to make, and they’re all cheaper through Kayak. I’ve seen negative reviews about Kayak, but only for flights. Plus, at the bottom of Agoda’s site, it says Kayak and Agoda are partners.
I’d love to know if anyone else has used this method and if they had any bad surprises... Like the site canceling the reservation last minute or the price suddenly going up.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts! :)
