You no need International Driving License but your Driving License must have Motorbike Rating.

Just back from Yogyakarta....my first trip to oversea....the trip is so good , i wont mind to go twice... 10/10... tips: dont go there during oct - feb, it is raining season...unlucky like me, u wont see Merapi mount peak because of mist during morning session.... =_=

Jogja give me the feeling like Penang Island. Narrow street, full of car and motocycle. Full of street food. Old city. Very relaxing.

I miss Jogja Bakpia alot.......

Any hotels to recommend?

What about simcard?

Which telco is the bang for the buck? And where to get it?

Best Hotel will be Hotel Neo Malioboro
Other good option will be Hotel Whiz, Hotel Ibis Yogyakarta Malioboro, Hotel Ibis Style Yogyakarta, Hotel Pop! Malioboro

should i risk it for a trip to Jogja at the end of Dec (around xmas period)? read that its raining season, which rain is normally forecaste-d to turun in the evening..

Anyone has any experience of travelling there on Dec 2015 or Dec 2016?

Thanks guys

Helo, Iam stay in Jogja
In xmas period until new year is raining season, but if you lucky no rain in 2-3 days. And in xmas period traffick jam everywhere LOL,
hope you have a nice trip

for easier to walking around & shopping in jogja,is it adviseable to stay at hotel in malioboro street ?

or got other nearby street which have a good hotel with cheaper rate ?

Most Recommended Hotel Area at Jogja was Malioboro, Jl. Sosrowijayan Area
Another one was at Jl. Prawirotaman Area

Jl. Prawirotaman Area got alot top rating restaurant.

My Personal feel Hotel Neo Malioboro was most best hotel to stay.

Jalan Sorowijayan, jalan Dagen, jalan Sosrokusuman, jalan gowongan, jalan pajeksan, jalan pasar kembang.

Hotel Dafam, hotel whizz, hotel ibis style, hotel @home, hotel pesona, from this hotel you jus walk to malioboro street

are you a tour guide or smething??

Iam driver, simetimes to be tour leader for group tour

I have just return from 6D5N Yogjakarta trip. It's trully a beautiful place. I have engaged with our fellow yogjakarta from lowyat, "masdojogja".

I have promised "masdojogja" that i will write a good review for him should our trip is marvellous.
and yes, we had a great time in Yogjakarta. Thanks to brother masdojogja and here is the itenary and review.

Day 1 (doni aka masdojogja)
- Arrival at aduscipto airport, greeted by our friendly fellow masdojogja.
- first stop, local lunch delicacies, soto rice
- Gumuk Pasir, arrival in the afternoon
- Parangtritis Beach (beautiful scenery)
- Lunch at Base Camp, Ular Indonesia. (nice top view restaurant)

Day 2 (doni aka masdojogja)
- Embark at 4am to Borobudur temple for sunrise (truly immaculate view)
- Lava Tour Merapi (highly recommended place)

Day 3 (koko as masdojogja is unavaible, he assigned koko as our driver, he is indeed good as well)
- Gua Jomblang (an experience u will never want to miss)
- Timang Beach (it's beautiful as well but to me, i think it's a little overrated)
- Abhayagiri Restaurant (Nice view, restaurant is facing the active volcano, but that night, we could only see half of the mountain as it was raining)

Day 4 (koko)
- Batik Manufacturing tour
- Source for Batik (gift)
- Prambanan Temple
- Ratu boko (to me, it's a just

Day 5 (doni aka masdojogja)
- Taman Sari
- Then we call it a day to rest as we are exhausted due to the previous day activity.

Day 6 (koko)
- Markets to buy avocados and salak.
- oleh oleh and then proceed to airport.

I stayed at the hotel grand ambarukmo.
the receptionist is good and friendly. however the service is not satisfactory.
it was a total big turn off especially when house keeping went into our room twice for cleaning and make up.
we did not request for those service and worst was, the second time we went in, room was fix, we couldn't bother more, but our room card was taken away from our room which causes souviner which we purchase, left in the fridge, spoilt. Ameneties provided is always shortage and breakfast was another let down when juice bar serving fresh juice...it's very dilluted and you can barely taste anything. i requested for soft boil egg and they deliver hard boiled egg instead. The list goes on and on.

As a conclusion, it's been a truly great adventure and exploration.
Except for the hotel part.

shall visit yogyakarta again as there are several places not visit yet.

till then, thanks to bro masdojogja aka doni and koko for the wonderful tour, explanation, sharing and adventure.

Ratu boko (to me, it's a just ???
what's the missing word

Oops...incomplete words.haha

To me ratu boko is just like a garden. Nothing much except for seeing sunsets.but the sun set there isn't as beautiful as at abhayagiri restaurant. Immaculous view and romantic. Just plan it well to ensure there is no rain.as for my case,it was raining n only manage to witness half of the beautiful view.

Tips : remember to checkout weather forecast before planning any trips.
