Anyone can recommend me any cheap hotel n interesting place to go?im planning to there with my fren on may.Our bdgt is not dat big though.hehe

hmm...you should go to keraton (sultan palace), tamansari water castle, malioboro, prambanan temple, borobudur temple, parangtritis beach, kaliurang, kalikuning...

Parents just came back.
They love the place.

They stayed in Hotel Dana in Solo.
Cheap, clean & nice food.

the place is like heaven dude...

My fren suggest to rent a house at a village sumwhere.so we can cut cost on accomodation n also able to feel their way of living

how is the safety at there? are they racist?

jogya is famous for student and tourism, also malaysian student studied there. and foreigners from aussi also live in village, learn about java culture, dont worry about safety or racist.

yogyakarta is not bad. but if you are into ancient architecture, you're better off going to siem reap, cambodia.

siem reap is still one of my fav.

Guys,im thinking of renting a car to go from yogyajarta to borobudur.Wuts ut opinion?Is the road condition ok?i mean,is there any cases or probs for tourist driving there?hehe

Hmm, Yogya sounds good. Actually beside the borobudur, are there any interesting places, like handicraft, or beach, seafood..
How about the cost, any shopping places, any cheap hotel, anybody can share their experience here..

Go here for details www.yogyes.com it got all the info u need.except the things ive been asking in here.hehe.So,ive decided to go by airasia on 1stmay from KL to Jogja.Then rent a car to travel there.On the last day which is on 5th may,i will be taking train to Solo.Coz will be taking our flight to KL from there.It is ok if I plan like dat?i juz wanna maximise my travel experience there.Hehe.I found a website for train schedule in Indonesia but dunt know to search for the right train..can anyone help?i wanna board a morning train to Solo from Jogja. Preferably travel in a compartment..hehe

cool i also actually planning to go there one day when i have time.
so if u dont mind, remember to update this thread after u back from there.
upload some pictures and shower us with more info.
thanks hehe

No prob man..since dis thread is not dat popular..i will try my best to update it after i went back..but im going there 1-5may..got sometime to research more on dat place..

better you search any info from malaysian student who study at yogyakarta..

Do you anyone dat can offer me sum information?i wanted to know more about train ticket coz i wanna go to SOLO from YOGYAKARTA by train..thnx

can I ask? Yogya = Jogja?

According to yogyes.com..it is a city with many names..i think..hehe

Get a travel guidebook before the trip is an good idea for you to plan your trip. You may get many useful informations about hotels and accommodations, tourist attractions, local foods etc. I tried Yogyakarta travel guidebook at a4trip. It really helps me alot in my Yogyakarta trip in last months. Check it out!

My family and I will be going yogyakarta for trip soon.
*One question, use rupiah or usd for buying souvenir or etc there?
