I’m planning our summer vacation for August 2027.
We’re a family of 4, and here’s what I had in mind:
- Arrival in Surabaya (one or two stops, including Jakarta). 6 nights on Java Island (private driver, nights split between Bromo and Yogyakarta)
Budget airline.
- 7 nights in Bali: 4 in Ubud, 3 in Amed (with a rental car)
- And a 3-night stopover in Singapore.
- that the Surabaya-Yogyakarta-Bali route makes no sense at all,
- that it would be more logical to arrive in Yogya and then take a driver (or a private tour) from there to Surabaya, stopping at the intermediate spots mentioned, and from Surabaya take one of the many daily low-cost flights to Denpasar,
- that 6 nights in Java is way too short, even without adding extra stops to what’s already planned,
- that August is the worst time of year for the tourist ghetto that is Ubud, so it’d be better to find another spot further north, quieter, and more charming,
- that Singapore isn’t in Indonesia (see the thread title) and the time you’re planning to spend there would be better used in Java and Bali.
- that the Surabaya-Yogyakarta-Bali route doesn’t make any sense at all,
Except to better handle the early morning wake-up for Bromo thanks to the time difference.
- that it would be more logical to arrive in Yogya and then take a driver (or a private tour) from there to Surabaya, stopping at the intermediate spots mentioned, and from Surabaya take one of the many daily low-cost flights to Denpasar,
Whether we fly out of Surabaya or Yogya, the end goal is the same, right?
- that six nights in Java is way too little, even without adding extra stops to what’s already planned,
It’s never enough anyway.
- that August is the worst month of the year for the tourist ghetto that is Ubud, so it’d be better to find another spot further north, quieter, and more charming.
Amed is further north, isn’t it?
Plus, Ubud is touristy, but let’s keep things in perspective. Touristy compared to what?
- that Singapore isn’t in Indonesia (see the thread title) and that the time you’re planning to spend there would be better used in Java and Bali.
Unless I *want* to make that stopover in Singapore.
So let’s focus on Indonesia (the original topic).
Hi there,
I went to Mount Bromo with my family and a 7-year-old kid back in the late 80s. We were free to go wherever we wanted—no entrance ticket, no guide, no hassle, etc.—but it was already pretty busy! Just a small crowd... I get the feeling it’s become a full-blown tourist attraction now!
Kawah Ijen was more beautiful, more spectacular, and especially more peaceful...
Anyway, for my part, I’d recommend flying to Jakarta/Makassar (Sulawesi) and heading to Rantepao, the Toraja land. I loved that region of Sulawesi. From there, return via Makassar/Denpasar to finish the vacation in Bali.
I’d also recommend spending a few days on the small islands of Nusa Lembongan and/or Nusa Penida (Manta Point for manta rays).
Only 6 nights in Java is way too few, even without adding stops to what’s already planned.
It’s never enough anyway.
True, no matter how long the trip, it’s always too short🤪.
So you’ve gotta make choices: spend your whole vacation in Java or split it between Java and Bali, or even Singapore.
Keeping your original route, here’s a very classic proposal:
- Flight JKT-Yogyakarta
- Java: Day 1-3 in Yogya, Day 2 travel to Bromo... and you won’t be alone😛. Day 4 morning at Bromo, then drive to Kawa Ijen (Sempol village in the middle of coffee plantations). Day 5 morning hike up Kawa, then drive to Ketapang where your driver drops you off at the ferry to Bali (Gilimanuk).
From Gilimanuk, you reach Lovina in northern Bali in 1.5 hours by bus (or pick up your car). You’ve got 1 day left to use in Java or save for Bali (Nusa Penida, for example—see below).
- Bali: From Lovina, you can head to Amed or Ubud, in whichever order you prefer.
But Ubud isn’t Ubud anymore 😊.
I’ve been to Bali several times and really like it, but last time in 2024, I arrived in Ubud one afternoon and left the next morning. This once-quiet little town, the cultural capital of Bali, is now overrun with kebab shops, pizzerias, etc. Buses dump loads of tourists every morning from Kuta and Sanur (the southern beaches) and leave in the evening. I felt all of Ubud’s charm had disappeared.
Amed, on the other hand, is nice—obviously with lots of restaurants, guesthouses, and resorts, but it’s very spread out (a string of small villages) with undeveloped areas between them. Snorkeling isn’t great, though.
There are plenty of beautiful things to see in the countryside between Ubud and Amed.
I agree with Djalma: Nusa Penida (Manta Point for manta rays + some viewpoints). Don’t just go for a day trip by speedboat—stay at least 2 days.
I don’t agree with Djalma: don’t go to Sulawesi just for a few days in Toraja country. This stunning, diverse island deserves a trip of its own.
- Singapore (3 days): I get why you’re stopping there—it’s a good idea—but if you’re short on time, 2 days might be enough. Either way, in 2 or 3 days, there’ll still be tons left to see.
Just a heads-up: it’s *very* hot and humid, and midday visits can be tough.
It seems like Kawah Ijen with young kids would be tricky, which is why I’m not considering it. As for Sulawesi, I don’t think adding another island is a good idea...
With 6 days in Java, it’ll definitely be the classic highlights, but time will be tight, so that makes sense.
I’ll keep in mind that Ubud is tough in the summer... Could it be compared to the beaches on the Côte d'Azur?
So now I’m wondering if this trip might be better in April/May (if the weather’s good—sunny and warm).

Il me semble que le Kawah ijen avec des jeunes enfants, ce soit compliqué, pour ça que je ne l'envisage pas.
oui pas top avec de jeunes enfants mais je ne savais pas !
Après, pour le Sulawesi, je ne pense pas que ce soit une bonne idée d'ajouter une autre ile...
je confirme ce que j'ai dit : garde Sulawesi pour un voyage complet
En 6 jours sur Java, effectivement, ce sera du très classique, mais en même temps, le temps manquera, donc logique.
oui mais très classique ne veut pas dire moche ! Yogya, Prambanan, Borobodur (si c'est pas plein de monde), Bromo (bp de monde mais pour admirer le paysage c'est acceptable) valent vraiment le détour
Je note pour Ubud que c'est compliqué l'été... On pourrait comparer aux plages de la côte d'azur ?
Du coup, je me demande si ce trip n'est pas mieux à faire en avril/mai (si bonne condition, s'il faut beau et chaud).
Ubud est blindé tout le temps mais probablement pire en été
Coté météo, le temps ne change pas bp entre la saison des pluies (décembre-mars) et la saison sèche à Bali. Mai est un bon mois

Si tu gardes Java dans ton parcours certainement pas mais si tu fais Jakarta/ Makassar ou plutôt Singapour /Makassar ( si il existe un vol intéressant) c'est tout à fait possible.
Et la région de Rantepao ( Pays Toradja) est facile à visiter avec des enfants et elle vaut vraiment le coup! Bon , il est vrai que pour ma part je n'ai pas trop aimé Java comparativement à Bali ou Sulawesi mais ce n'est qu'une question de goût. ( J'ai une nette préférence pour les régions hindouistes ( Bali) et les minorités animistes/ (chrétiens) d'Indonésie
Idée globale de parcours
Singapour / Makassar / Denpasar/ Singapour

Bonjour,
Je suis à la recherche de mes futures vacances estivales en aout 2027.
Nous sommes une famille de 4, et j'avais pensé à cela :
- Arrivée à Surabaya (une ou deux escales dont celle à Jakarta). 6 nuits sur l'ile de Java (voiture avec chauffeur, nuits entre Bromo et Yogyakarta)
Avion low cost.
- 7 nuits sur Bali : Ubud 4, Amed 3 (avec voiture de location)
- Et 3 nuits de stop over à Singapour.
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Bonjour,
Donc si je calcule bien, cela fait 13 jours de périple en Indonésie avec de jeunes enfants...
Personnellement, je vous conseille une seule île comme les autres de ce forum.
Bali, pourquoi pas malgré certains endroits bondés et terminer par un séjour plage aux Gilis (Air ou Meno par exemple). Bali a beaucoup de charme, avec une ambiance qui lui est propre (évitez le sud).
Ou encore Java uniquement: Yogyakarta et environs, Bromo et les cascades Madakatipura, Tumpak Sewu.. Peut être Ijen (Il est tout à fait possible d'éviter l'ascension de nuit). Bref il y a de quoi vous occuper 7/8 jours. Vous pourriez terminer votre séjour par un séjour plage à Java, aux Karimunjawas.
Bien sûr il est possible de combiner Java et Bali comme vous le souhaitez, mais vous allez courir.
Les sites principaux de Java est peuvent se visiter à un rythme très soutenu en 5 jours, beaucoup le font) mais avec de jeunes enfants, bof...🤪
Sulawesi est encore une autre option comme on vous l'a conseillé. En 13 jours, le pays Toraja pourquoi pas et les îles Togeans. (A l'époque où j'y étais, plus de 20 ans, elles n'étaient pas si faciles d'accès. Je suppose que ça a changé, comme partout en Asie).
Flores pendant 13 jours est également une superbe option... D'ailleurs, on y a en juin...🙂

En 13 jours, le pays Toraja pourquoi pas et les îles Togeans.
Là ça fait vraiment beaucoup de transport terrestre en aller retour sur Makassar avec des enfants; avec peu de temps à consacrer aux Togeans.
Rantepao (depuis Makassar) de nos jours l'option voiture- chauffeur doit certainement être possible...A faire au retour par ex.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of markets. No matter where I go, in every country or city I visit, I won’t leave without having seen one. I’m mostly talking about food markets. I love the smells, the colors, and watching people from all walks of life stroll around. It’s like a mirror of a country’s culture, and I love soaking it all in.
Thai markets are particularly appealing to me. In my province, there are so many. Maybe more than elsewhere—I’m not sure—but every day, you can find a "Talat Nat." These are traveling markets that set up in specific places on specific days. They only stay open for a few hours. Some attract more shoppers than others because they have more stalls and a wider variety of products. Sometimes, they’re set up in pretty unusual spots: temples, roadside, even on train tracks...
On top of these, there are also markets in the city that stay open all day.
I’d love for you to share your photos of markets, local product stalls, and why not, let’s talk about gastronomy and cuisine too!
I’ll start with my favorite market—it’s 8 kilometers from my place and happens every Tuesday from 2 PM to 5 PM. I never miss a Tuesday unless there’s a downpour... 😉 It’s located in the countryside, in a village famous for its coffee (ThamSing), and inside the grounds of a slightly unusual temple. It’s easy to get to—over the past 10 years, the roads have been paved, which wasn’t the case before and made the trip a bit risky when it rained...
In the first two photos, you’ll see the temple courtyard on a normal day, without the market.
During my trip to Thailand, I’ll be spending 2 nights at Tonsai Beach, near Ao Nang Beach, close to Krabi. Tonsai Beach is only accessible by boat, so I was wondering where I could safely leave my car at Ao Nang Beach for 48 hours?
Alternatively, at Ao Nam Mao Beach (on the other side), if there are shuttles to Tonsai Beach.
Hi, I’ve read that these two volcanoes are super popular and that there are *tons* of people for sunrise, especially in July. I’m looking for firsthand accounts from anyone who’s done it later, around 9–10 a.m.
Thanks for your help!

We’re planning a two-week trip to the Philippines in August (unfortunately, we don’t have a choice on the dates...) and we’ve seen, especially through many posts here, that a large part of the Philippines is advised against visiting. However, some areas might still be okay for this month.
Based on that, we’re considering the following itinerary:
• D1–D2: Flight from France to Manila, overnight transit in Manila.
• D3–D5: Camiguin — beaches, Mantigue, White Island, and a volcanic tour (staying at Balai sa Baibai)
• D6–D9: Anda — beach, snorkeling, rice terraces, Can-Umantad Falls, Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, waterfalls, and adventure activities (staying at Anda White Beach Resort)
• D10–D14: Siquijor — snorkeling, whale shark excursion in Oslob if possible, Apo Island, and sunset fishing (staying at Coco Grove Beach Resort)
• D15–D16: Return via Cebu and Manila, then international flight back to France.
We’ll be two families of four with kids over 20...
I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this itinerary is feasible, and I’m open to suggestions for other islands or activities from those who know the destination well.
Thanks for your help! :slight_smile:
Hi there,
We’re thinking of spending a month in the Philippines at the end of February and the beginning of March. What’s the tourist crowd like during that time—is it super busy? We’re not really used to booking accommodations, transport, etc., in advance.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
We're heading out at the end of the year to join family in Cebu. We're planning to spend a week in the area but are struggling to choose between these 3 islands... Ideally, we'd like to have 2 bases to explore two of them. Have any of you visited all three, and which would you recommend? We're into snorkeling, beautiful excursions, and would also love to connect with locals. And ideally, do all that without too much logistical hassle 😅
Thanks for your experiences/tips!
Hi everyone.
I’m heading to Malaysia for five weeks over the holiday season.
I just found out that tourists can pay by QR code like locals (street food, small shops) to avoid using cash.
This works with apps like Wise or TNG eWallet.
Has anyone tried this system before?
Hi there,
We’re planning a backpacking trip to Northern Malaysia and northern Sumatra in February/March 2027. It’ll be our first time in these areas (we’re pretty familiar with the rest of Asia). Thanks in advance for your favorite spots and diving recommendations! It’s still very open-ended—we haven’t set anything in stone yet.
Thanks,
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!
Hello fellow travelers, and thanks to everyone for keeping this blog alive!
It’s my turn to ask a question.
For our trip to Laos next year, I’m torn between using a local agency or organizing everything myself with the Lonely Planet guide and tips from VoyageForum.
If I plan it myself, will I still be able to find French-speaking guides on the spot or book excursions in advance?
Thanks for sharing your experiences, and if you have any recommendations for local agencies—just for excursions or even transportation—that’d be great!

Hello,
I’m planning a trip to Vietnam with my partner, and we’re considering Ha Giang in October-November for 4 days on-site to do the loop by bus, since we’re not old enough to ride motorbikes.
I see there are sleeper buses—how does that work for sleeping at night, meals, etc.? And what are the rates per person for these 4 days and nights?
Then there’s Sapa—what’s the most practical way to travel between the two, or should we return to Hanoi?
I’d love recommendations for simple but decent hotels and any other tips you have.
Thanks so much! !
Hi,
Is it useful to rent a car from Puerto Princesa to get to El Nido? Are there any nice stops along the way?
I read that once you arrive in El Nido, most of the beaches and sights are accessed by boat, so I'm wondering if this rental is really worth it...
Thanks for your help
We’re 49 years old, love beautiful landscapes, meeting locals, discovering local food and traditions, and we avoid overly touristy places.
We enjoy hiking, cycling, running, and diving.
This is our first time in Thailand (my husband knows Bangkok).
We arrive on Friday, November 13th in Bangkok (city visit) and return on Friday, November 27th.
We’re considering heading south (possibly toward Krabi) from the 14th to the 18th to enjoy the beautiful beaches, go diving, and see Khao Sok...
Then back to Bangkok and on to Kanchanaburi to see the Sai Yok Noi waterfalls, followed by a bike visit to Ayutthaya.
From there, we’d take an overnight train to the north: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and the Lantern Festival from November 21st to 25th.
On the 26th, we’d take a flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok (city visit), and on the 27th, we have our flight back to France.
Does this itinerary seem too packed?
Should we remove some things to avoid feeling rushed and fully enjoy the trip?
Do you recommend anything other than Krabi?
Hello.
We’re joining our daughter in Ho Chi Minh City for Christmas—she’s studying there. There’ll be five of us adults, and we couldn’t choose our travel dates, so some flights are fixed. I’ve sketched out the following route, but I’m not sure if it all makes sense. This is our fourth trip to Asia (Thailand twice, Lombok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore). We often travel on a budget, love authentic spots, and enjoy meeting locals (we’ve done volunteer work and homestays).
18/12: Two of us arrive in HCMC
20/12: Head to Hanoi, where the boys land
20/12 to 23 or 24: Hanoi and day trips around—still deciding
23 or 24 to 26: Phu Quoc, so we can head south and spend Christmas by the beach (one son is crazy about the sea and fishing)
27 to 30: Mekong Delta, stopping in Ha Tien, Chau Doc, and another spot to get back to Ho Chi Minh City
1/1: Return flight to France.
What do you think of this plan—is it doable or totally unrealistic? Any recommendations for a one- or two-day trip from Hanoi (Phu Long, Mai Chau), or is it better to stick around the city?
Thanks in advance for your insights.
I’m planning a 28-day trip to the Philippines starting in the second half of April, and I’m skipping all the super touristy spots.
I’ve got some ideas, but they’re still a bit vague and scattered, and I’d love your help and tips to finalize my itinerary.
For this trip, I’m mostly looking for architecture, ancestral homes, cultural discoveries, local crafts, exceptional natural sites, and islands with beautiful, less crowded beaches—especially avoiding international tourists.
So here are my ideas, and I’d really appreciate your advice:
1- Surigao del Sur, if security allows: the Enchanted River in Hinatuan and Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig City.
2- Iloilo City, Bacolod, Silay
3- The Heritage Town of Taal
4- Banaue and Batad
5- Romblon Island (Bonbon Beach and the marble workshops in Romblon town)
6- Bolinao Falls and Hundred Islands in Pangasinan
7- Baguio, Vigan, Laoag, and Pagudpud (Saud Beach and/or Blue Lagoon)
8- Guimaras Island, Samal Island, and Dinagat Island
I know logistically it’s impossible to cover all the spots I’ve listed in 28 days, which is why I’m counting on your advice to drop a few destinations that might not be worth the detour and highlight the must-sees.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
We're planning to visit this region as a couple for a few days during our trip to Vietnam.
What should we do with 3 to 4 days there, and how can we get around to the different spots?
Should we return to Sapa every day or stay in different places each night?
Any tips on accommodations, dining, and must-see sites?
Also, advice on traveling from Hanoi to Sapa.
Thanks so much for helping us prepare for this autumn 2027 trip!
Hi there,
We're planning a little trip along the west side, visiting KL, Malacca, then heading up to Penang and ending with a few days at the beach.
The most common option would be to finish the stay in Langkawi. My question: are there other spots with beautiful beaches on this coast where we could spend 4 to 5 days?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
hi everyone,
I want to travel in the north for 3 weeks in September-October 2026 to meet ethnic minorities, photograph mountain rice terraces and their harvest, and revisit Halong Bay—but maybe Lan Ha Bay instead. Can you recommend one or more local agencies?
Thanks, and happy holidays!
I’d like to know if it’s possible (and reasonable) to travel directly between Battambang and Kampot?
From what I’ve gathered, all the buses between these two destinations go back through Phnom Penh, which means we’d have to spend an extra night there in the middle of our trip. That’s not ideal for us.
Hello, South Sulawesi loop: Makassar-Ramang Ramang-Rantepao-Sengkang-Lake Tempe-Bira. Which direction should I take for this loop, starting and ending in Makassar?
Public transport preferred, and about 3 weeks in total.
Any nice homestays? And tips for solo travel?
Thanks, Françoise
Hi there,
I’ve found so many tips and reviews on this forum, so it’s my turn to contribute a little.
We spent just over two weeks with our family, with the following itinerary:
- Hanoi: 5 days
- Halong Bay: 3 days and 2 nights
- Tam Coc: 3 days
- Mai Chau: 2 days
- Sapa: 3 days
We got around by bike, scooter, Grab, and bus.
Our main accommodations were homestays and hotels in Hanoi.
We visited lots of museums, temples, and neighborhoods in Hanoi.
We did a 2-day, 1-night trek in Sapa with May, a Hmong local, without going through an agency.
A few small regrets: the weather was overcast, and we couldn’t make it to Fansipan, but nothing major 😅. We also couldn’t find transport to get from Sapa to Mu Cang Chai.
Other than that, this trip will stay in our memories for the kindness of the Vietnamese people, the connections we made, the food (street food, homestays...), the coffee 😋, the landscapes, and how easy it was to get around...
Our goal was to take our time and focus only on a small part of northern Vietnam.
If you need any tips or recommendations, don’t hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi there,
After a stay in Hua Hin and before another in Chiang Mai, I’d like to break up the trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai into several stops. I’ve found bus and train routes on Maps, but I’m stuck on the connection between Ban Rai / Uthai Thani and then Nakhon Sawan (bus for the latter).
Does anyone have any idea where I could find info, maybe via Route 333?
I know my question isn’t super general or exciting, but if you can help, thanks!
I’d like to do a kind of personal retreat this winter and I’m looking for a destination near the sea (preferably an island) that’s quiet. Is that possible in Thailand, or should I consider another destination?
Thanks for your thoughts.

This September, my partner and I are heading to North Sulawesi for 3 weeks. Our international flight is with Malaysia Airlines, departing from Paris. We have a layover in KL, then fly to Denpasar, followed by a domestic flight from Denpasar to Manado. We land in Bali Denpasar on 05/09 around 12:00 PM, and our flight to Manado is on 07/09 at 1:30 AM. The plan was to have at least one night (from the 5th to the 6th of September) between our international flight and our flight to Manado, just to recharge a bit since we're not 20 anymore 😛. My question is, given the very short stop in Bali (a day and a half), is it better to stay in Denpasar rather than go to Ubud for the night? I’ve been to Bali before, and from what I remember, even though the distances are short, transfers take a long time because of the extremely heavy traffic—but I was there in July, not September. I’m not sure if that makes a big difference?
If the answer is "it’s better to stay in Denpasar," are there any nice places to visit? There’s very little feedback about the city since tourists usually don’t stick around.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

First stop on our discovery of the peninsula: Amphawa. It’s our first night in Thailand (we arrived at Suvarnabhumi at 8:50 AM).
Our initial plan was to explore the area before heading further south. The Mae Klong Railway Market is tempting... but what else is there to do????
We’ll be there on a Wednesday, and from what I’ve read on the forum, some say there’s absolutely nothing to do during the week—no floating market, barely any shops open, no restaurants, etc.
Others, though, say the place is actually more charming without the weekend crowds.
Could you share your thoughts? Missing the floating market is one thing, but if it’s really a ghost town on Wednesdays, I might just drop our bags somewhere else.
Amphawa seemed like a good first stop, just 1.5 hours from the airport, but I’d still like to settle somewhere a bit lively for our first evening.
We’ll be there at the end of October.
Thanks!
Hi,
I wanted to visit the plantations in the morning with GetYourGuide or by just showing up.
How much time should I really plan for?
I’d like to catch either the 3 PM or 5 PM bus back to KL.
Thanks
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
