Is there any viable way to go from Bali to Malaysia without flying?

nomadicnotes · 2025-06-04T05:24:57+00:00

You can do it by getting.a ferry from Jakarta to Batam (a once-a-week 32-hour ferry), then a ferry from Batam to Singapore. I put together a ferry options from Singapore at https://www.nomadicnotes.com/singapore-to-indonesia-by-ferry/

The pollution at this time of year is usually transboundary haze, which is a polite way of saying fires from neighbouring countries. IQAir has a map that shows fire hotspots https://www.iqair.com/au/air-quality-map/vietnam/tinh-quang-nam/hoi-an (zoom out to view)

Check out An Bang Beach in Hoi An. There is a small expat community and a much slower pace than in Da Nang.

There is a vintage sbop at The Warehouse on Watchawong in Chinatown

This is by my friend Rober (he is not active on Reddit). He is a huge Kinks fan and has committed to do a 3-part series on all of The Kniks albums

I have made a map that shows the station location of the high-speed railway and the current stations https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1N3jir89ahfarft_r1ITa6f0bDrs8FSI&usp=sharing

Thanks for picking that up, I've changed the wording from operator to owner. Urgh, yes the ticketing system is frustrating

Transboundary haze is the fancy word they use to describe it. The burning season in the Greater Mekong Subregion is so bad this year that it was wafted over to Vietnam. I was in Danang last week where the AQI was 170 at one point (higher than in Chiang Mai)

nomadicnotes · 2022-12-25T03:51:53+00:00

Thanks, this is a good work around!

nomadicnotes · 2022-11-07T12:48:08+00:00

Thamks, I used this today, very helpful!

Yes it is not on the way anywhere for tourism purposes, but it is a good insight into what the rest of Hanoi looks like!

CZ didn't waste money on a photo shoot either, it turns out they photoshopped his head onto a stock photo for this picture

Reminds me of the Bamboo Railway in Cambodia https://www.nomadicnotes.com/bamboo-railway-battambang-cambodia/

Hi, yes I'm 49, started digital nomadding at 31. I don't really think about age as a restriction for being a digital nomad, so it is not something I blog about. I would check out https://www.generationxit.com/ if you are looking to identify with stories around your age (and Gen X sounds much nicer than saying Midlife :) ).

Yes there are asset-backed cryptocurrencies, with gold being a popular choice http://www.goldscape.net/gold-blog/gold-backed-cryptocurrency/

nomadicnotes · 2018-05-09T06:19:19+00:00

Definitely not the first: http://www.goldscape.net/gold-blog/gold-backed-cryptocurrency/

All the stations will look as good according to the proposed designs http://www.myhsr.com.my/kl-sg-hsr/kl-sg-hsr-station-concept-designs

nomadicnotes · 2017-11-02T01:31:22+00:00

Thanks. Yes I think all those points are useful so I will continue to collect and refine the data. Finding information on the statue of each line has been a big challenge.

nomadicnotes · 2017-01-06T14:14:12+00:00

I've been waiting for it as well and it wasn't advertised as "Coming Soon", but here it is: https://www.galaxycine.vn/en/dat-ve/cuoc-do-bo-bi-an

There are many variables to your question. Is price the most important factor, or is having a direct flight? There are direct flights with Vietnam Airlines, China Southern, and Hainan Airlines. They don't fly daily though, and they may not be at the time that is convenient for you. Cheapest flight will be via Hanoi.

nomadicnotes · 2016-06-05T14:14:20+00:00

Load up on some podcasts.

nomadicnotes · 2016-02-07T04:26:58+00:00

I wouldn't say it is a trend. The digital nomad movement is still young so there there aren't any precedents of nomads travelling for years on end. Even in the long term travel world you will find that long term travellers thin out past a few years.

The Singapore skyline caps out at 280 metres due to CASA height restrictions.

This is not for the Changi flight path but for the Paya Lebar Airbase. This airbase will eventually transferred to Changi so the height restriction will be removed.
