hi,

welcome to indonesia.

look at your schedule, you can visit yogya in 9th january. back to jakarta 10th january. or bandung 10th january, then to jakarta in the next day.

you can use night train to yogya so you dont need to stay in hotel. but, you wont see the scenery along the trip.

visiting krakatoa in rainy season maybe not advisable.

if you have a day spare time, can visit bandung. if not, you can go to monas or tmii in jakarta.

3gb a week ? not too much ?

there are many budget hotel in jakarta you can find. check agoda or booking.

i haven't read through this thread yet. gonna read it affter i post this

my travel date is 6/01 to 11/01

absolutely no plan, no hotels, no nothing

only came to jakarta for weezer concert at stadium senayan on 08/01

- 6/1 arrived at 4pm jakarta, and 11/1 leaves at 1pm jakarta

- wanna visit borobodur, dun mind paying air tickets from jakarta-yogya, but do i have the time? (train is 7 hours!!)

- either that or visit krakatoa - how expensive and dangerous will it be? 1 day just to travel there by sea?

- what can i do with this limited time? jakarta? around jakarta? bandung?

- place to stay, cheap (since i'm not gonna stay whole day in hotel anyway, just to sleep at nigth) - but no hostels - can't stand smelly mat salleh (yeah, staed a couple time b4 with them, yuck!) - nice, clean, and SAFE hotel

- no budget (read: unlimited, but i'm a cheapskate biggrin.gif), backpack only, so i can walk anywhere

- 2 of us, both gays guys

- needs indo sim kad, so gonna choose either telkomsat simpati or xl. which is better for 3g 1 week? not heavy user, just whatsapp (important to keep communication cost down)

suggestion guys!!!

hi cakur

any recommendations on budget hotels near senayan, or jakarta tengah, specifically around stadion gelora bung karno?

7 & 8 / jan will be in jakarta, but with no plans. any recommendation on places nearby?

edit: monas = muzeum nasional right? what is tmii -?

i will definitely go to borobodur, fly from jakarta -joga on the 9th, overnight at manohara (pricey!), and join the sunrise borobodur tour on 10th morning. maybe can catch prabanam temple in the afternoon or the next morning
*
maybe you want to try batavia hotel. http://www.batavia-hotel.com/ not very far from senayan.

monas = monumen nasional. landmark of jakarta and indonesia.

for 1 day trip, you can go to tmii (taman mini indonesia indah) www.tamanmini.com or taman safari www.bogor.tamansafari.com

borobudur is indonesian landmark as well. you can visit prambanan also. a bit far though.

you may try this one http://www.onyxresidence.com/

borobudur to prambanan can take 1 hour trip. you can go to candi ratu boko when visit prambanan.

in this rainy season, you maybe cant visit borobudur and prambanan in one day comfortably.

onyxresident looks promising. thanks...

hopefully it's a sunny day in borobodur. spent a lot of money just to get there, since i'm on a very tight schedule...  sweat.gif

depends on your flight, you can visit borobudur in the first day in yogya. next morning go to prambanan and return to jakarta.

if you ask me, my advise is: first 2 or 3 days in bandung. then, the last 2 or 3 days in jakarta. because you return from jakarta. it will minimize problem if you already in jakarta.

QUOTE(babycherie @ Jun 28 2013, 10:43 AM)

will be better?

express bus / shuttle is best for 2 peoples. cost about 125k idr per person.

shuttle operates from pool to pool. if you know your hotel location, can choose nearest pool to cut taxi cost.

rental car means with driver of course. better not drive yourself here. especially if this is your first visit.

arrive in morning is good. just go to shuttle counter. if nearest shuttle is full, you may need to wait about 1 hour for next shuttle. generally, it is easy to get shuttle to bandung.

QUOTE(babycherie @ Jul 20 2013, 12:48 PM)
Our schedule is like this Cakur

First day arrival Jakarta around 9am morning

Second day and third day going Bandung

Fourth day back to Jakarta

Fifth day departure

if you want to stay in jakarta, then train probably your best option. as soon as you arrive in your jakarta hotel, then find alfamart / indomaret to buy train ticket. if train ticket is sold out, then check for nearest shuttle pool to bandung. you can google for pool location in cipaganti.co.id

QUOTE(babycherie @ Jul 20 2013, 02:48 PM)
But the first day I will stay in Jakarta

Sećond day only go Bandung

So,if like this, buy ticket in the airport bus shuttle there?
The next day where I need to meet up?

hmm so is there any flight/travel agency that go from malaysia>bandung and go to surabaya? or either one malaysia>surabaya and bandung?

just asking sorry noob on travel
*
you can buy air ticket easily this day. buy flight from kuala lumpur to bandung, and surabaya to kuala lumpur.

from bandung to surabaya, can use train or flight. your choice. train is cheaper (usually). but plane is faster (plane about 1 hour, train about 12 hour).
