Quel chance qu'il vous ont fait ce prix, quand je vais sur le site, le prix affiché hors saison est minimum 2000 baths !
Cette promo vous l'avez eu en dernière minute ?
Non, un coup de bol sans doute... J'avais repéré cet hôtel (grâce à VF 😉) qui correspondait à mes attentes et de temps en temps je regardais les prix sur un comparateur. J'ai trouvé la promo sur Agoda, 3 ou 4 mois avant.
Ceci dit, le jour de notre arrivée, j'ai regardé les prix par curiosité: ils étaient encore descendus, toujours sur Agoda. Sans doute parce-que l'hôtel n'était pas plein... Nous y étions pourtant en novembre, la saison n'est pas spécialement morte.
Je pense qu'il y a 2 solutions pour trouver les meilleurs prix: soit tu consultes régulièrement les sites revendeurs (mais faut du temps !) soit tu ne réserves rien sachant que tu trouveras toujours quelque chose.
A l'arrivée des bateaux sur les îles, des jeunes brandissent des prospectus et te proposent de t'accompagner pour visiter plusieurs hôtels ou guesthouses. Malgré la commission qu'ils prennent tu as toutes les chances de trouver ton bonheur.
Comme ça a été dit, 2000€ est un peu beaucoup et tu peux très facilement baisser ton budget :-). On y était allés à la même période avec ma copine il y a deux ans maintenant, aussi en pleine saison (février) et tout tout compris on a dépensé moins de 1000€ par personne sans se priver et en faisant du shopping excessif
Bonjour ! Je reviens sur mon prix car en fait je me suis trompé sur le train , je sais pas ce que j ai fait mais j ai trouvé des prix exorbitant !!!! L avion en revenche etait vraiment cher ! ( chiang mai - koh samui) mais en lisant d autre discussion j ai trouvé beaucoup moins cher (avion chiang mai-bangkok + train de nuit + bateau) certe + long mais + economique et surement pas trop ennuyant . Les hotel j ai trouvé ceux que je serai suceptible de reservé ( tres bon marché et pour koh tao je prevois un budget de 30 euros , je sais c beaucoup mais nous n allons pas reservé pour l ile et voir sur place du coup j ai prevu large pour pas avoir de surprise !!!
Bref au fils des jour j affine le projet et effectivement il baisse !!!!!
Merci pour tt ces conseil ils sont d une grande aide !

C'est une très bonne idée...Donc y a de la place de partout fin novembre début décembre :)
Je pense que c est trop tot pour réserver en ce qui me concerne car je constate que plusieurs hotels n ont pas encore donné de chambres pour la période de novembre décembre sur booking ou agoda... J ai dailleurs constaté un hotel par mail et il m a dit qu il sera possible de réserver sur agoda à partir de juin :)
Je pars également en Asie du Sud Est fin Janvier (le 20) : Bangkok, Chiang Mai... Luang Prabang, Vientiane(Laos), Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville (Cambodge) puis retour en Thaïlande : Ko Chang, Bangkok.
Je me débrouille seul : 7ème année en Asie : Vietnam, Cambodge, Laos, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Malaisie.
Mon budget prévisionnel pour cette année (du 20 Janvier au 20 Mars) est calculé comme suit :
Dépenses journalières pour 2:
Hotel (gamme moyenne avec fenêtre et piscine sauf sur les plages) + Petit Déj : 35€
Repas : 25€
Divers (location vélo, tuk tuk, bière....) : 10€
Soit 70€ * 60j = 4200€
j'ajoute les autres frais important
Visas : 100€
Avion Vientiane Phnom Penh : 200€
Excursions : soit 5000€
Sur que je vais revenir avec des € même en achetant un bijoux à mon épouse
Je connais déjà Bangkok, si tu veux des tuyaux, contacte moi en privé
Bon Week End
Bonjour à tous
Je viens de prendre connaissance des échanges de ce forum, où la question initiale correspond à mes recherches, sachant que nous souhaitons faire un séjour en Thaï pour la 1ère fois, mais que nous parlons très peu l'Anglais....
Habituellement nous allons tous les ans à Maurice de 2 à 3 mois 1/2 en hiver (Déc/Mars), et cette année notre souhait est d'aller voir ailleurs.
Si le budget a, (bien sûr) son importance, je n'aime pas partir à l'aveuglette, et un minimum de préparation m'est nécessaire...
De ce que j'ai pu lire dans ces divers posts, c'est que selon l'optimisme de chacun, on va du plus au moins, (même que l'on s'écharpe facilement, pour une simple petite faute d'intonation ..! 😐)
En récapitulant les dépenses: (séjour en janvier)
L'avion /2 personnes Paris/Bangkok 1500€ avec Emirates ( Maurice 2100€)
Pour l'hébergement, (je prévois à Maurice) 45€/jour
Pour tout le reste, (déplacements divers, restauration et sorties) c'est selon.....
Nous ne sommes pas routard, le meilleur confort est souhaité, je ne souhaite pas que mon notre séjour rime avec galère et recherche perpétuel des prix, ce qui serait au détriment du plaisir de nos vacances
Donc, il y a t'il quelqu'un qui peut me conseiller pour la meilleure façon de m'organiser avec une idée de coût, et réalisme....
Merci de votre participation sympa
Pour mon budget excursions, c'est 500€ qu'il faut lire (pas 5000!)
exemple d'hotel que je vais réserver
- Bangkok : SK Boutique Mahanakhon Hotel (Agoda 29€ la chambre supérieure): la navette de l'aéroport N° ??? (m'en souviens plus) nous dépose (demander la gare de Hua lamphong : en face)
Le personnel parle mal l'anglais, (moi aussi)
A coté, il y a le central hotel : haut de gamme mais impersonnel
Le personnel parle bien anglais : je comprends rien (lol)
Avantage le train pour Chiang Mai part de cette gare, quartier chinois à côté, les temples, pas loin
A chiang Mai : Rainforest Boutique Hotel, prés de la gare avec piscine, 28€ booking .com
Comme toi je ne cherche pas "le moins cher de pas cher", ça pourrit les vacances
OK, merci, on est je pense sur un pied d'égalité concernant l'Anglais, donc il y a moyen de s'en sortir en étant "illettré"
De mon séjour en Thaïlande, je vais faire (1 fois !) la visite des sites principaux, ensuite je souhaite me poser dans un environnement sympa et confortable, près de la mer, pour profiter de la douceur d'un été (pendant l'hiver de chez nous..!) Probablement la région sud serait la meilleure, .(je suppose) Krabi par exemple...
L'hébergement en hôtel est une solution, mais pour une longue durée, il me faudrait une villa, bungalow ou Guest house
On est en Asie du Sud est pour 3 mois, et l on a commencé, via Bkk, en farniente sur Kho Phangan (ile du sud). Tu t y rends pour 650 a 900 B par personne (soit de 16 à 28€) depuis Bangkok et la bas tu rallonges 200B pour te faire monter au Nord Ouest ou Nord de l ile. et la haut, sans pre booker par internet tu dors (meme en plein mois de janvier pendant la full moon) pour 520Bath ( et on en a testé 3, dont un effectivement a 600Bath) . Et a ce prix t es vraiment vraiment confort.
Avec un bath estimé a 35 pour 1 euros (il vaut plutot de 37 a 39)
cela nous donne pour 2
un transport Aller Bkk Kho Panghan a disons 800 Bath + 200 de taxi tuk tuk sur l ile = 1000B*2= 2000B pour 1 personnes A/R donc 4000B les deux en A/R
un logement a 520B pour les 2 dans le meme lit (voire deux lits simple)
les repas sont plus cher la bas, compte donc 250B par jours et par personne au lieu de 150B ailleurs en Thailande. Soit 500 B/jr pour 2
au total pour 7 jours:
transport: 4000 B
hotel: 3600 B
nourriture: 3500B
soit 11100B, disons 12000 B avec des extras
Donc 5000B par personne, ramené en Euro et en se faisant neanmoins confort (nous on est parti avec notre bebe de 5 mois donc sans se lacher sans limite on n est pas inconscient)... 6000B --) de l'ordre de 175€/ par personne les 7 jours
Evidemment, là je n ai pas compté le billet d avion, mais on l amortit pour notre part sur 3 mois de sejour. Sachant qu au Nord et a Bkk on dort et mange pour moins cher que sur les iles... Donc en comptant le meme budget. Hors achat de souvenir et en maintenant le meme train de vie (avec donc des transports inclus) cela nous donne en 14 semaines: 2450€ chacun plus le billet d avion soit 3100€. Mais en fait, hors des iles on dort en moyenne a 300 B pour 2 et on mange a 300 B pour deux au lieu de 500... Du coup on economise chaque jour 400B/pour 2. ce qui fait du 2800B/semaine (80€) soit sur les 13 autres semaines --) 1000€.
Donc avec 5000€ (billet inclus) on devrait etre bon.
Tadaaaam
On en reparle dans 3 mois mais ca nous couterai pas vraiment moins cher d etre en France en ne comptant la bas que le gasoil, la nourriture et l energie eau/gaz de chauffage/electricité hivernal. Mais j m arrete la pour les calculs
Meilleurs voeux:) Je pars avec ma compagne en Thaïlande fin janvier. J'ai déjà prévu un petit itinéraire mais j'ai un trou au milieu, que je ne sais pas par…
Nous souhaitons partir à 4 visiter la Thaïlande et je souhaite être aidée à la création de mon itinéraire. J'ai sélectionné plusieurs sites et j'aimerai savoir…

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
26/09: Travel to Bali, overnight in Pemuteran
27/09: Excursion to Pulau Melujan, overnight in Pemuteran
28/09: Travel to Munduk, overnight in Munduk
29/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk
30/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk

02/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
03/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
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!
