Currently in bandung. Would like to ask anyone know where is Ralph lauren store located. October last year it was still under construction. I forgot which road already. Not the one at BAndung indah plaza. Any others? Tq

And is it true minimum charges for a taxi were rp25000?

Minimum charge for Blue Bird is IDR25k, other taxi companies IDR20k.

yes, avoid go to bandung in the hari raya period. bandung will have heavy traffic jam. going here in fasting month also make your lunch a bit limited.
*
Oh, going during fasting month is the best time for lunch!

Bcos there's no Q at most restaurant. And a lot of them have promo for lunch, as high as 50% discount!

The only drawback is you can't have sushi on the belt, need custom order.

Anyway, I wana go back again mid next year for holiday/shop more. Besides AirAsia (~RM400-500 return trip) KUL to BDO, is there any cheaper way to go there?
Or does Air Asia do promos there?

On & off got 0 fare to Bandung.
So total like RM92 (exclude airport tax of Husein Sastra).

Heh, lucky i din go. Cant justify paying 200k to see a crater I thought was just plain in pictures. Went to kawah putih which was way more beautiful wub.gif

I went back in 2013, the entrance for foreigners is 50k/pax. Increased so much?

Thanks for thr advice.

Is it safe to walk in Bandung? How much do you think i need for 4D3N excluding hotel and flight?
*
Relatively safe but no place is completely crimeless. I did walk between Paskal & Braga at night.
We can't judge how much you're gonna spend shopping.
Just say that a normal road side meal cost IDR15-20k, a McD value meal IDR30k & up.
Bandung taxi has a minimum charge of IDR25k.
While if you're brave enough to take angkut, the fare range from IDR3-8k depending on distance (within city).

Now MYR vs IDR rugi sikit, but bring more better than bring less.
If you are comfortable with it, call CC and tell them u will be in bandung from xxx to xxx, but always keep an eye on it when its being swiped.
*
Go open CIMB account, activate oversea withdrawal.
Withdraw at CIMB Niaga ATM, no charge.
Rate slightly better than exchanging at MidV.

Although there's also BII Maybank there, but when you check balance, it display in RM. So you won't know the exchange rate you're getting.

Really? Plan to arrive in Jkt and stay over nite then take d train to Bandung from Gambir station. Any suggestions on where to stay near Gambir?

Alternatively will head from airport straight to Gambir for train to Bandung. Prefer Bandung over Jkt ...less jam
*
If your time of arrival is not too late. There's direct minibus or van from Soekarno Hatta Airport Terminal 2 to Bandung.
The company X-Trans stop at Cihampelas area, ticket price IDR 150k.
Travelling time 3 hours+.
On your way back to Jakarta, you can take the train.
