TYMUS97 Posted December 21, 2025 Posted December 21, 2025 Not sure Bangkok or Bali for some budget travel this year. Or even Japan if the currency stays that way or drop even lower. Quote

There was some mild side effect like tingly fingers but that was more amusing that annoying. But yea, it’s worth considering especially if you have a sensitive bodily constitution. Quote
leckmich Posted January 21 Posted January 21 i wonder how safe are these supplements or pills etc though. Quote
youdoyou Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) 16 hours ago, leckmich said: i wonder how safe are these supplements or pills etc though. I guess a doctor would be the best person to advise on this. I didn’t have major issues but again, these things may differ from one person to the next. based on memory, what the pill does is adjust the blood vessels or rate of flow of blood in higher altitudes cos the higher you go, the pressure changes. So it’s to help regulate your bodily function? I may be totally off though. 😛 Edited January 21 by youdoyou Quote
leckmich Posted January 22 Posted January 22 i suppose the capital itself is not high altitude. opps, i was wrong: Yes, Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is considered a high-altitude country. It is located at an elevation of about 1,300 meters (4,300 feet) above sea level, making it one of the coldest capital cities in the world. The country as a whole has an average elevation of approximately 1,580 meters (5,180 feet), indicating that Mongolia is situated in a high-altitude region. Wikipedia+3 Quote

ebutx Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Any good travel ideas? With Middle East conflict now seems like so much uncertainty Quote
HC-B Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Almost half of SGP travelling and vacationing in China. Korea after the all time fave Japan. With the climate and weather getting hotter and more scorching and oil prices affecting costs and expenses: Bali, Batam, Desaru, Phuket, Koh Samui, etc, anywhere next to or by the sea and within budget. Quote
Vometra Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Yeah with the mideast conflict raging, it's best not to travel to or through that region. I just came back from Europe through Turkey and the plane has to skirt to the north of Iran through Azerbaijan. But now even Turkey and Azerbaijan have suffered drone and missile attacks, so dunno how safe it is. Maybe explore beautiful Asia and Oceania for the time being. Or to Africa through Addis Ababa and South Africa. mate69 1 Quote

passinthenight Posted April 7 Posted April 7 I'm planning to visit Tokyo next, but due to the uncertainty with the Iran war and jet fuel prices, I'm just going to wait it out. I was thinking of using Tokyo as my base and visiting other close by cities by train. Quote

Once you get your air tix, you wouldn't have to worry about fuel surcharge anymore? I am more worried about the cost and availability of petrol, as I want to do a self drive road trip.

I'm more thinking that if my flights get cancelled due to the war/lack of jet fuel. The fine print of travel insurance policies says that the policy doesn't cover wars and problems associated with it(no jet fuel). Airlines are cancelling flights all the time now due to possible fuel shortages. Why buy something that maybe cancelled. I know Japan has a lot of jet fuel in storage. But it wouldn't be long before their allied friends/nations begin asking for help. I know I could be overthinking things , I just don't want to be in the middle of it, if it all goes south from here.

Yea cancellations are a valid concern. I was mostly thinking about increased fares. But like you said, they could cancel the flights altogether. But the airline might provide some form of compensation I think, as opposed to travel insurance as you pointed out. Quote

I'm also down in Melbourne. Australia has the least amount of emergency jet /petrol and diesel fuel supplies than any other developed Country. Airlines won't risk flying all the way down to Australia if they know that they have not much of a chance of being refuelled. Time will tell if it all escalates to these levels. Quote

The ones going through the Gulf are dicey. SQ has cancelled till end May, and I’m flying with them in July to Dubai. At least I think I am. Gotta wait and see closer to end June or earlier if they cancel, in which case I’ll have to change my route. Quote
reece7700 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I guess better to stick to Asia for next few months. Anyone got ideas? Other than Japan or Korea. Where in China is nice and not crowded? Quote
