March 2026 Photo Contest Theme: Metal, Metallic
The 139th edition of this contest is now open, and this month’s theme is:
« Metal, Metallic».
From ore to rockets, wire to the Eiffel Tower—or in a pinch, even a self-portrait at the bottom of a spoon—the theme is broad enough that you should be able to come up with at least three ideas pretty easily! Sure, things might get tricky when it’s time to vote, but that could just be a sign of a successful contest, right?! But we’re not there yet.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly indicating their number (1, 2, or 3) along with the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
You’ll vote for three photos, clearly stating the name of the participant you’ve chosen, followed by the photo number. The first photo in your vote will receive three points, the second two points, and the third one point.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes—or, if still tied, the most second-place votes. Finally, if it’s a perfect tie, the winner will be the one who reached their score first. The winner will then have the pleasure of choosing the theme for the April 2026 contest and organizing it. Ties for any position other than first won’t be broken. Lastly, you don’t need to participate in the contest to vote. However, participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are strongly encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread, and starting Thursday, March 26 (00:01 Paris time), only votes.
Key dates: You can submit your photos starting today, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, until Wednesday, March 25, 2026 (23:59 Paris time). Voting will begin the minute after and end on Monday, March 30 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 ... if all goes well!

Airports in the Persian Gulf Emirates
Hi,
Right now, with the war raging in Iran and affecting all the neighboring countries of the Persian Gulf, many airports are completely closed to all traffic.
Several airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and others have almost completely halted their operations.
Whether in the Middle East or Africa, many travelers are stranded—maybe for a long time... A heartfelt thought for them and the struggles this will cause.
Four months ago, I was in Kenya with a flight booked through Qatar Airways... I can’t even imagine how I’d react if I were stuck there now. ??
Wishing all these travelers courage, patience, and success in making it back home.

Waterways Around the World: January 2026 Photo Contest
The first theme of 2026 is:
"Waterways Around the World".
Water is present almost everywhere on our blue planet, so I’ve narrowed the theme down to waterways—rivers, streams, brooks, and the like.
Seas, oceans, lakes, or other stagnant waters won’t be considered for this month’s theme 😅. However, waterfalls and cascades are very welcome 😊!
Practical details:
**Participation** Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, January 25th at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (commentary, location, etc.).
**Voting** Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, January 26th to Saturday, January 31st at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Photos should be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be published on February 1st. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing February 2026’s contest.

Finding a decent flight to Thailand
struggling to find a decent flight to Thailand?????
Hi everyone, I’ve been traveling in Asia for over 30 years, often to Thailand, but only during the school holidays in February, April, and especially in the summer, departing from Marseille or Lyon.
For some time now, I’ve noticed it’s really hard to find a flight at a reasonable price (under 900 €) and, more importantly, with a decent itinerary (we’re often offered 2 or 3 layovers with total travel times of 40 or even 50 hours), and this is the case almost a year in advance. This is something we never saw even 4 years ago—I’m wondering: are there fewer flights available now...?

Cycling tour of Guadeloupe
Hi there,
I’d like to cycle around Guadeloupe during the Christmas holidays. I was wondering if it’s dangerous, if it’s easy to rent a bike, and to find accommodation along the way? Thanks!
September 2025 Photo Contest: I Signal, You Signal, We Signal – Get Your Signs Ready!
Hi there, 🙂
The point of this contest isn’t to photograph Mathilde or even to frantically click the "report" button on every post in a thread.

The rules are the same as usual—I’ll let you check out the previous contests for reference. 😛
Just a quick reminder:
- Max of 3 photos per person.
- One photo per post (preferably embedded 😉) with a caption and the photo number.
Submissions close on **Monday, September 22, 2025, at 11:59 PM Paris time**.
Voting starts on **Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 11:59 PM** (and not a second before… 😇), Paris time, and ends on **Monday, September 29, 2025, at the same time** (still Paris time).

Scams and Violence in Thailand
Hi,
If you take the bus from Bangkok Ekkamai to Pattaya, foreigners will be asked to pay an extra 20k for checked baggage, even though it’s already been paid for and listed on the ticket. They don’t even weigh it—a woman just demands you pay again, and if you refuse, she goes to get security colleagues who yell at you and threaten not to let you board. We later found out at the hotel that this is a well-known organized scam. The company is ROONG REUANG COACH, and we were about fifteen people—all foreign tourists—in the same situation. For Thai passengers, they didn’t ask for anything.
Then in Pattaya, violence and corruption rule. The next day, we learned the city is classified as "scarlet" (high-risk). A hotel guest was attacked with a knife by four Thais on a scooter—they stole his bag with his bank card and cash inside, luckily not his passport. A large hotel near ours was just shut down administratively for pedophilia. On Apple Maps, many reviews warn about how dangerous the city is. I’ve been coming to Thailand regularly for over 30 years, but I barely recognize the country since COVID. The "Land of Smiles" is turning into the "Land of Scowls," and a form of racism is emerging. For us, this will be the last time—next stop, Vietnam, and even China, which pleasantly surprised us.
Finally, China and the U.S. are advising their citizens against traveling to Thailand due to violence. Right now, most tourists here are Indians and Russians—together, they make up the majority—along with some from the Gulf (Qatar, Dubai, Oman).

White as snow: February 2025 friendly photo contest
I could just as easily have written white as marble, white as salt, white as coconut milk...
This month’s theme is white in every way imaginable.
Not just a little touch in the top right corner of the photo!
Nor a white square on a white background...
Also, black and white won’t be allowed.
For the rest, I’ll let the voters be the sole judges of whether the theme is respected!
I’m now borrowing Ragamuffin’s wording for the rules:
Every VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, February 23 at 11:59 PM, Clermont-Ferrand time.
Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3).
Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting:
Every VF member can vote for the 3 photos they think are the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, February 24 to Friday, February 28 at 2:00 PM, Clermont-Ferrand time.
The chosen photos should be listed in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the author of the photo with the most points.
Results will be published on February 28 in the late afternoon. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing March’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.

Your thoughts on IndiGo airline
Hi there,
Have you ever traveled with this airline? It seems like they have a real monopoly on some destinations and are also much cheaper.
Thank youuuu.

Rejoindre la Chine en passant par le Kazakhstan en camping-car
Bonjour, j'aimerai savoir si des personnes sont parties en camping-car en passant par le KAZAKHSTAN pour rejoindre la Chine (je ne veux pas passer par l'IRAN etc) , la Thailande Cambodge Vietnam, Singapour après avoir traversé l'Europe avec des haltes tout au long du voyage . Pouvez-vous me faire part de votre expérience, si c'est réalisable etc. surtout pour la partie sortie de l'Europe ver le KAZAKSTAN etc.. je prévois ce voyage sur au minimum 1 an en Asie pour pouvoir bien en profiter et au total 2 voir 3 ans voir plus.. suivant où le vent nous mènera mon mari et moi..😉 . (ce projet est pour dans quelques années.)
Merci de me faire part de votre expérience si vous le voulez bien, aussi bien pour les trajets (état des routes, facilité pour trouver son itinéraire) la nourriture , l'accueil, les règles concernant le stationnement des camping-cars etc... Au plaisir de vous lire. Cordialement
Tour du monde avec traversée de la Chine en 2022 (en camping-car)
Bonjour à tous,
Les préparatifs de notre TDM (à deux continents près 😉) se poursuivent. nous sommes une famille de 5. 39 ans, 33 ans, 6 ans, 4 ans, 1 an au moment du départ. départ en juillet 2021, un retour à l'été 2023.
Après plusieurs tergiversations nous envisageons la traversée de la Chine depuis la Mongolie, vers le Vietnam. En consultant des blogs et sites de voyageurs, j'ai trouvé Navo tour. Des retours ? Des avis ? Si on le fait il sera temps dans quelques mois de lancer une bouteille à la mer pour faire un convoi... dans cette projection, on ferait la traversée en septembre/octobre 2022. Il en est de même pour le Myanmar...
Pour la thaïlande, avez vous des retours sur les entrées des campings car ?... C'est toujours la roulette russe (ou thaïlandaise en l’occurrence !) ? des postes frontières plus souples que d'autres ? des aides locales ?... C'est un point un peu névralgique qui pourrait pauser soucis en cas de blocage une fois sur place !
Le Pakistan.... Aucune infos fiables de trouvées... J'ai pu voir que certains parlaient d'une ouverture des frontières (automne 2019). Rien depuis début 2020, of course... L'idée est une entrée côté Lahore, sortie à taftan. Mais... niveau sécurité, cela m'inquiète un peu... Aventurier, oui, fou, un peu, suicidaire, que nenni !
A bientôt !

Visa Inde: vos avis sur visamundi?
Bonjour, je devais aller au Canada, frontières fermées... je vais me rabattre sur la Bretagne mais pour cet hiver, je veux tenter l'Inde. L'obtention du visa semble compliquée et je ne sais pas si les frontières seront ouvertes car pour l'instant, il semble que la Pandémie galope...
Pour le visa, qui a déjà essayé Visamundi ou une autre agence?
merci de vos infos
Wild Camping in Southern Africa
Hey everyone,
I’m sharing a slightly unusual travel journal with three goals. To make it work, this discussion should stay in the travel journal section so we can find it easily and keep adding info to existing posts.
This journal is meant to help "newbies" discover these magical places.
We go to Southern Africa not just for the animals, but also for that soft light, the atmosphere, and those incredible wild campsites where you feel so at home... I’d love for you all to share your favorite spots here—those we miss so much.
The last goal is figuring out how to photograph them. Honestly, I’m not happy with my photos because they don’t capture the feeling I get when I’m there or that unique atmosphere.
I’ll start with one of the first spots that, for me, is one of the most beautiful in Southern Africa: Passarge Valley 2 in the Central Kalahari. There, you’re alone—completely alone. The next campsite is over 25 km away, and that’s a half-day of 4x4 driving. In front of you, there’s nothing but the CKGR plains with herds of springboks... absolutely stunning 😎

Merci mille fois

Le voyage culinaire
En ces temps de confinement, il devient assez difficile de voyager.
Mais il nous reste encore cependant une façon de voyager : la table !
C'est pourquoi j'ai eu l'idée de cette nouvelle discussion. Vous qui avez voyagé, vous avez très certainement ramené de vos voyages des recettes qui vous ont plu et qu'il vous arrive de refaire chez vous, avec les moyens du bord, parce qu'elles ont ce petit goût inimitable de voyage.
Amis internautes, je vous invite ici à nous faire partager vos meilleures recettes. A vos claviers !
Avis sur croisière MSC Splendida non remboursée
Bonjour à tous,
J'espère que vous allez bien malgré ces temps compliqués.
Je vous explique notre situation.
Nous devions partir pour une croisière avec MSC Splendida le 12 mars au départ de Dubaï, retour le 29 mars à Gênes (Italie).
Etant donné la situation avant le départ, nous avons jugé qu'il était préférable de ne pas prendre de risques inutiles et donc de ne pas effectuer la croisière. (nous avons bien fait!)
MSC n'a pas jugé utile d'annuler la croisière (sûrement pour des raisons économiques), cependant tout ce qui fait l'attrait d'une croisière n'a pas été respecté.
Toutes les escales ont été annulées, les gens ont été confinés sur le bateau tout le long, sans excursion possible et le bateau a débarqué 5 jours avant la fin du voyage initialement prévue. (Nous avons des preuves et le compte rendu du voyage).
MSC refuse catégoriquement de nous rembourser quoi que ce soit, jugeant que la croisière a été effectuée.
Nous cherchons donc des gens qui comme nous n'ont pas effectué le voyage et avec qui nous pourrions nous "retourner" contre MSC pour obtenir un avoir/dédommagement.
Nous avons contacté "Que Choisir" afin d'expliquer notre situation et ils nous ont conseillé d'essayer de trouver des gens dans notre cas avec qui nous pourrions faire une requête commune et avoir plus de poids face à la compagnie.
Merci d'avoir de votre aide, à très vite pour un retour j'espère !
English version:
Hi all
I hope you're okay despite these complicated times.
I'll explain you our situation.
We were suppose to depart for a cruise with MSC Splendida on March 12 from Dubai, returning on March 29 to Genoa (Italy).
Given the situation before departure, we felt it was best not to take unnecessary risks and therefore not to make the cruise. (we did well not going!)
MSC did not find it useful to cancel the cruise (probably for economic reasons), however everything that makes a cruise attractive was not respected.
All stops were cancelled, people were confined to the boat all along, with no excursion possible and the boat disembarked 5 days before the end of the originally scheduled trip end date. (We have evidences and travel report).
MSC categorically refuses to refund anything, deeming that the cruise was carried out.
So we are looking for people who like us have not made the trip and with whom we could "turn" against MSC to get a compensation/worth.
We contacted "Que Choisir" to explain our situation and they advised us to try to find people in our case with whom we could make a joint request and have more weight against the company.
Thank you for your help, hoping for a positive response !
