Bonjour je souhaiterai savoir pourquoi le prix d'un billet d'avion aller retour au départ de la thailande coute deux fois plus cher qu'un
aller retour au départ de la france ?
Je souhaite faire un aller retour en france avec ma copine thailandaise et notre fils.
Je fais souvent des aller retour seul ( paris - bangkok et bangkok - paris ) avec british airways pour environ 700 euros.
Pour ma copine thai les mêmes vols mais dans l'autre sens (Bangkok - Paris et Paris - Bangkok ) sont à 1 300 euros. (peut importe les dates ).
Si quelqu'un parmis vous à l'habitude de faire des aller retour en france avec sa compagne thailandaise et qu'il a des infos sur
cette anomalie.
Je n'ai trouvé nulle part aucune discussion à ce sujet et je finis par déséspéré de trouver une solution.
Je n'ai pas l'explication sur la différence de prix mais mes amis Thai qui viennent en France avec d'autres compagnies ne payent pas pas plus que 32.000 bath. Je crois que c'était Finnair.
Je suis étonnée de votre constat, quand je fais une recherche sur Skyscanner, je trouve des vols autour de 700-750 euros sur aeroflot ou Egyptair et des vols plus chers aux même dates au départ de France.
Parlez-vous de vols directs ?
Quand il n'y a pas de solution, c'est qu' il n'y a pas de problème !

En fait j'ai oublié de préciser qu'il s'agissait de british airways.
Je vous explique je reserve tout le temps mes aller retour (depart france ) à la dernière minute
et depuis trois ans le moins cher qui me soit proposé est british airways ( approx 700 euros ).
C'est la troisième fois que je rentre en france avec ma compagne et mon fils je souhaite donc lui
prendre un billet sur british afin que l'on fasse le voyage ensemble. C'est la troisième fois que l'on me dis que c'est 1 200 euros par personne ! J'en ai un peu marre. (ma compagne plus mon fils 2 an et demi = 2 300 euros )
Pour résumer un billet PARIS - BANGKOK et BANGKOK - PARIS coûte 700 euros avec british ( réservation faîte un ou deux jour avant )
un billet BKK - PARIS et PARIS - BKK COUTE 1 200 euros (réservation faîte deux mois à l'avance )
Je cherche quelqu'un qui fais des aller retours en france avec sa famille thailandaise et qui a une solution pour payer des allers retours à 700 euros et pas à 1 200 car avec deux personnes à charge çà commence à faire un beaucoup !
un billet départ Bangkok Paris acheté à l'étranger ( ou via une agence de vente en ligne basée hors de thailande et payé par carte bancaire en monnaie non thaie ) coute souvent plus cher que le meme billet acheté en Thailande ( et payé localement en thai bath )
si vous voulez un billet Bangkok Paris allerretour départ Bangkok il faut l'acheter en Thailande
si vous voulez un billet Paris bangkok paris il faut l'acheter en France
de plus il y a des promos des offres speciales ..
des tarifs spécifiques pour les résidents et les thais ...
par expérience personnelle , un ChiangMai Bangkok Paris et retour, ou unChiangMai Singapore Paris me coute moins cher que le contraire
regarde a d'autre dates , et d'autre compagnie, je fais aussi des bkk-geneve-bkk.. pas plus chere que l'inverse... regarde aussi les promos, en thailande les agences prennent en general 100bahts de frais, donc pas la peine d'esiter de passer par eux..
meme quand je suis en suisse , je passes par mon agent de voyage habituel en thailande;p ...
Je me rapelle que les premières années ou je venait en Thailande, les billet aller retour vendu depuis la thailande
étaient vraiment pas cher ( 15 000 bath environ, soit 300 euros à l'époque pour un aller retour )
Depuis trois an que je voyage avec ma copine et mon fils, ces billets là n'existent plus, que c'est il passé ?
J'ai toujours acheté les billets aller retour pour ma copine dans mon agence à chiang mai.
C' est cette même agence qui me propose 1 200 euros pour un billet aller retour ( a partir de bkk )
Un billet qui ne coute que 700 euros l'aller retour (à partir de paris ).
En fait j'achète le billet le moins cher pour mon aller depuis la france (avec un retour que je deplace ) et lorsque je veux prendre
un ticket pour ma copine qui coincide avec ma date de retour en france, c'est tout de suite 1 200 euros. (avec british )
Je peux effectivement trouver moins cher pour elle avec d'autre compagnie mais du coup je suis obligé de racheter un nouveau billet aller retour pour moi afin de voyager ensemble, avec le bébé c'est mieux.
Ce qui couterait le moins cher en pensant au futur ( elle vient en france une fois par an ), c'est que je perde mon billet retour que j'ai déjà chez british. Que j'achète trois aller simple pour la france et que depuis la france je rachète 3 aller retour !
Celà me paraît assez compliqué, n' y a t'il pas d'autre solutions ?
Ce ne sont pas les compagnies qui sont compliquées, c'est votre demande qui est tres spécifique.
Ce n'est pas de la faute de British Airways si vous n'avez pas pris tous vos billets en meme temps pour votre famille si je puis dire.
Cela n'a rien à voir avec le fait de prendre son billet dans un sens ou dans l'autre, c'est exactement le même prix, et ce depuis toujours. Mais en effet il ne faut pas se borner sur une compagnie. Un jour British Airways sera compétitif, le lendemain ce sera Air France ou Emirates.
1200 Euros est extremement cher, je n'ai jamais vu de billet à ce prix. Vous devez regarder à des dates ou les vols sont complets sur British Airways, surement un weekend ou des vacances.
La solution est très simple comme vous dites, soit vous payez 300 Euros de plus (en considérant que le prix moyen d'un billet est de 900 Euros) et avez le confort de voyager en famille, soit vous prenez 2 vols séparés. Ca parait idiot de le dire mais c'est finalement très simple non ?
Gardez bien à l'esprit que 700 Euros c'est le tarif plancher, ce n'est pas cher du tout.
Je regarde pour des dates en milieu de semaine et avec le plus de siège "promotionnel" sois disant de disponible.
Il ne s'agit pas de 300 euros de plus mais de 600 euros ma copine + mon fils) de plus et ceci pour la toisième fois.
C'est pour celà que je cherche quelqu'un qui est dans le même cas que moi et qui a une astuce car
on ne peut pas tous prévoir nos trajet en avion 1 an à l'avance. Pour ma part j'effectue beaucoup de trajet en avion ( plus d'une trentaine par an surtout pour mon entreprise ) et je n'effectue les réservation toujours que quelques jours avant. Je n'ai pas le choix, c'est comme çà.
D'autant plus que lorsque je suis en france et que je souhaite rendre visite à ma copine en Thailande comment puis je réserver les même billets pour nous trois sachant que je suis en france et elle en thailande ?
Je pense plutôt que le tarif plancher est 500 euros ( voir même 450 euros, y a toujours des malins qui réservent 10 mois à l'avance et qui essayent toutes les dates ) mais ce par internet et au départ depuis la france.
Depuis 3 ans il n'est plus possible depuis la thailande de trouver des billet aller retour à moins de 800 euros ( a part air asia pendant quelques mois ).
Alors que ces même billet étaient à 300 euros à peu prés il y a 3 ans en thailande et se trouvent souvent à 500 euros en france de nos jours.
Donc en cherchant "la" promotion, en france on est à 500 euros et en thailande pour le même voyage mais dans l'autre sens on est à 800 euros.
Il y a quand même un problème !
Je suis amateur de jeux de tous genres (jeux de cartes, classiques, jeux de société). Je me demande où rencontrer des joueurs à Bangkok ou ailleurs. Merci! Yves

I need some expert advice on these two destinations for a 15-day trip. We land in KL and plan to stay for 2 days before heading to Borneo and finishing with an island for snorkeling.
For those who’ve been, what are your must-sees?
We were thinking of spending the last 3 days on the Perhentian Islands, unless you’ve got another island to recommend near Borneo.
Thanks for your tips and help!
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 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!
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! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Malaysia. The idea is to visit KL for 2 or 3 days, then Borneo, and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the time. I’d like to finish with the Perhentian Islands... What do you think? Any tips or advice would be great—I’d really appreciate it!
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!!!

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 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.

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.
