ben oui c'est tellement important que je ne voudrais rater ça pour rien au monde, si j'étais pas dans les bonnes dates j'aurais changé mon billet (pffffffff.... Hi HI)
C'est également ma phobie.... 🤪
En une vingtaine de voyages en Thaïlande; j'ai dû en rencontrer une quizaine (dont 5 ou 6 lors du même voyage). Généralement c'est lorsqu'ils, ils traversent la route la route en plein jour (pas mal de serpents écrasés). C'est impressionnant un cobra quand même). Parfois, à des endroits plus inattendus comme dans ce restaurant en bordure de plage à Patong ou ce serpent sautant littéralement sur l'eau à Uthai Thai.
Quand je vais dans les champs, je ne suis pas trop rassuré à l'idée de marcher sur un. Il y a peu, un cobra a tuée 7 poulets en une nuit chez ma copine et un python a également élu domicile dans son étang, se nourissant des poissons et des grenouilles.
Bref, en voir ou pas, c'est une question de (mal)chance.
la quasi totalité des serpents fuient si ils en ont la possibilité en un mois en thailande je n'en ai vu que dans les fermes à serpents pour des démonstrations!!! Nous avons pourtant fait un treck près de chiang Mai avec un itinéraire de plusieurs heures en forêt dormis dan un village loin de la civilisation rien vu!! simplement toujours regarder où tu mets les pieds . Les vibrations du sol quand tu marches (les serpents sont sourds) sont en général suffisantes pour les faire fuir. Le vrai danger vient quand le serpent est surpris parce que tu ne l'a pas vu et que tu es trop proche dans ce cas ne pas paniquer reculer lentement le serpent n'attaque que si tu rentres dans son périmètre de sécurité exception mamba mais il en en a pas en asie. En cas de morsure accidentelle il est indispensable de pouvoir identifier l'espèce pour pouvoir administrer un sérum . Soit prendre des photos pour pouvoir identifier ou le capturer (tuer). Le plus important rassurer la victime etlui éviter le moindre effort, immobiliser le membre faire un garrot entre la morsure et le coeur et surtout ne pas relacher le garrot avant l'arrivée à l'hôpital. Ne pas inciser, ni aspirer la plaie. Le Cobra royal le plus dangereux est assez rare, il n'est pas spontanément agressif et préfèrera toujours la fuite à l'attaque à l'exception peut être d'une femelle couvant les oeufs (c'est une exception chez les serpents). Les morsures de serpents les plus fréquentes ont lieu dans les rizières avec les paysans
Merci pour vos diverses reponses. Vous aurez note que mon ecriture s est deterioree : je suis arrive hier au pays des serpents mechants. 😇
Dans l attente de trouver un elephant a louer pour m ouvrir la route je vais prudemment rester calfeutre dans ma chambre d hotel climatise ou je me ferai livrer des pizzas pour ne pas devoir risquer ma vie dehors. 😛
Ah zut j avais oublie qu il y a plein de trucs delicieux a manger hors de ma chambre, je vais donc devoir prendre des risques insences pour me faire une brochette, un curry, une soupe, une salade, ...
Je ne suis qu a moitie rassure d avoir appris que quelques serpents parmi les plus dangereux peuvent ne pas etre effrayes par mon pas lourd, je mise donc sur leur rarete pour ne pas trop stresser.🤪
Je crois que le plus dangereux est la vipère des mangroves (serpent noir et jaune à rayures) mais heureusement pour moi, je n'ai jamais eu la chance de croiser ce spécimène en liberté. Le plus souvent, j'ai croisé des cobras (écrasés ou vivant); toujours sur des routes de campagne. Il y a aussi ces jolis serpents verts qui sont assez fréquents. Chez ma copine, ils vont se nicher parfois dans le toît de sa maison... Faire quand même gaffe si on se baigne dans un étang ou une rivière car ça nage super bien ces machins là.

Oui il y en a beaucoup même que j'en ai rencontrer souvent, un jour il y en avait un sur ma terrasse de guest house dès qu'il a senti ma présence il a filer à toute vitesse, je ne sais pas comment il est arriver là .
A ce qu'on m'a dit, il y en a beaucoup dans les champs de riz....
On va dire que je suis parano, mais je ne suis jamais très rassuré quand ma copine m'emmnène voir ses plantations. Surtout quand je me ballade en tongues....
oui les vipères sont aussi très dangereuses mais on se ballade plus facilement en forêt ou dans les champs qu dans une mangrove
Il ne faut peut-être pas trop exagérer. Un cobra qui se dresse sur 2 mètres, je n'ai jamais entendu parler ce cela. Les plus gros spécimens que j'ai vu était des cobras royaux à l'institut Pasteur de Bangkok.
Ils étaient impressionnants, mais, lorsqu'ils se redressaient, il ne dépassaient pas 60-70 centimètres.
Il y a souvent des serpents dans des lieux ou on ne les attend pas.
A Sihanoukville, le propriétaire du Snake Restaurant m'a indiqué la provenance d'un magnifique cobra royal qu'il exhibait dans son resto. Il provenait d'une des plages de Sihanoukville, Victoria Beach me semble t-il. Il était dans un petit arbre, près des baigneurs.
La visite des temples d'Angkor peut apporter quelques surprises. Lonely Planet signale qu'il y a des serpents verts dans les ruines. Exact, ma femme en a approché un de très près. il est tombé d'un plafond à quelques centimètres d'elle. Une belle bête bien verte et très nerveuse de 2 mètres environ.
Idem à Sokothaï, mais là il se baladait dans les ruines.
A Yangon au Myanmar, Gérard, un français qui a ouvert un restaurant dans un coin comme le Bois de Boulogne local, à eut la surprise de voir quand il a emménagé que 2 pythons avait élu domicile dans sa future maison. L'un était de belle taille.
J'avais rencontré à la Royal Guesthouse à Chang Maï, un préparateur militaire français qui préparait les commandos et les aviateurs en Guyane.
Il m'a dit que très souvent, les serpents "mordaient mal " et qu'ils n'injectaient qu'un faible partie de leur venin.
Et que si on était tenu de passer la nuit en forêt, il était préférable de tout nettoyer autour de la tente.
LOL, ca me rappelle une anécdote:
J'étais à Phuket, au cap Prom Thep (d'où on a un beau point de vue sur la baie de Kata). Quelques touristes japonais se trouavient la devant moi. Je les interpelle de loin pour leur signaler qu'un serpent se trouve à leurs pieds à +- 2 mètres d'eux. Ils me sourient en hochant la tête verticalement comme pour me confirmer que le point de vue est joli. Là j'insiste en criant un peu plus fort. Un des gars se retourne et apperçoit la bête... C'est la que ca devient marrant. Je n'ai jamais vu quelqu'un courir le 100m aussi rapidement. 🙂
A sukhtothai, dieu merci je n'ai rien vu. Par contre, à Anvient city, on en voit assez régulièrmeent dans les pelouses (mal entretunes par ailleurs).

Je me souviens en avoir vu d'ecrases sur la route a Sukhothai, plus quelques peaux de mue ici et la. Je me souviens aussi ne pas avoir pu emprunter l'escalier de je ne sais plus quel temple celebre de Sukhothai pour cause de serpents passee une certaine heure (l argument m a convaincu, je n'ai pas insiste pour cette visite). 🤪
Pour Ancient City je comptais bien l'honorer de ma presence mais je realise tout d'un coup qu'il y a encore plein de bitume que je n'ai pas encore visite a Bangkok, les cobras royaux et leurs copains se passeront de moi. 😛
Je ne suis qu a moitie rassure d avoir appris que quelques serpents parmi les plus dangereux peuvent ne pas etre effrayes par mon pas lourd,
Marcher d'un pas lourd ne sert à rien... donc, si vous croisez un mec tout blanc avec un long baton, qui se déplace en sautant à pieds joints sur les trotoirs de la capitale, vous aurrez reconnu notre craintif amis Ludomero...

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.
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 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 everyone,
I’ll be in western Malaysia for 20 days in January and February.
I’m coming from southern Thailand to Ipoh for the Thaipusam festivities.
Then it’s off to Pangkor Island.
I’ll finish up in Malacca for the Chinese New Year celebrations before heading to Singapore.
I’ve got a 6-day gap.
I was thinking of going to K.Lipis for the jungle train and heading to Dabong, but the caves might not be open.
Any suggestions around K.L.?
Day treks?
A stopover between K.L. and Malacca?
Thanks
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!

I’m heading to Cambodia at the end of December 2026 – January 2027 for 3-4 weeks. Since I’ve already visited Cambodia twice, my itinerary is a bit different this time—I’d love to explore Botum Sakor Park, Chi Pat, the Tatai region, and the Cardamom Mountains. I’m traveling solo. If you have any tips on transportation, excursions, treks, sights, or accommodations in the area, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback!
Has anyone traveled with the Laos travel agency ADV ?
I’m planning a trip to Laos and have received several quotes. Among them, this agency’s seem very reasonable, and so far, the interactions have been positive.
I’ve found a few positive reviews online, but I’d love to hear from travelers who’ve actually booked with them: how’s the organization, guide quality, accommodations, on-the-ground responsiveness, etc.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
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
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...
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 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.
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!

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?
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, 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 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.
