Yogyakarta Trip 5D4N ( 30 March 2019 - 3 April 2019 ) ~~ Day 1

Yogyakarta, despite the official spelling, the name is usually pronounced and commonly written as Jogjakarta or just Jogja (JOG-jah). It is well known for its culture, nature and also its adventurous activity such as Gondola ride. We have booked the AirAsia ticket one year before with the price of RM 290 per person for two-way.

We reached Adisucipto International Airport around 11.15am.
Indonesia time zone is 1 hour earlier compared to Malaysia,
 so don't be surprised if you reached one hour earlier just like we do...XD

I think this is the smallest airport I ever seen, just within few steps away from the plane to the arrival hall...lol

We bought a sim card 4 GB data for 130k IDR

Prambanan Temple

Prambanan temple is a Hindu temple built in the 9th century. It is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia and one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Part of the temple was damaged by the earthquake in 2006 

There are 3 main temples dedicated to Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma.
The temple on the background was the Shiva temple.

My wife walked until backpain

The architectures of the temple were so nice regardless of which angle you snapped the picture from.

The weather was so hot until my wife headache.

Showing off our couple tee...lol.

We bought the Prambanan entry ticket together with the Borobudur temple under the combo price of 560k IDR per person excluding sunrise. If you wish to see the sunrise in Borobudur, the entrance ticket for Borobudur temple alone is 475k IDR excluding the Prambanan temple.

We chose this 3-star hotel named Emersia Malioboro Hotel. We chose this hotel as it is walking distance away from Malioboro street which was convenient for us to find food and buy souvenir.

The hotel room was quite clean and the staff there was very friendly and helpful.
Most important is that the price was very reasonable, which only cost RM 381 for a double-bed room for 4 nights stay. Unfortunately, the room was full when we arrived, hence the staff upgraded our room to double deluxe without extra charges.

We walked along the Malioboro Street to hunt for our dinner.

We bought the Nasi Gudeg and local Nasi Ayam Goreng as our dinner which cost us 61k IDR.
The taste was special and nice but just a little bit spicy and portion was rather small.
Moreover, the price also was a bit high compared to other place due to tourist spot.

Tips of the day

1. We found out that the tour guide in the Prambanan temple just explained the mural inside the temple according to their imagination as we heard few versions of interpretation as we walked around the temple. So in my opinion, it's not worth to hire a guide to listen to their imagination ( It cost us 100k IDR....T.T )
2. Don't eat dinner in Malioboro street unless you want to get chopped...XD

To be continued

The next day- Borobudur Temple, Chicken Church, Kalibiru Park.

Dinner at Dong Restaurant

This is the restaurant recommended by one of our local friends here

Basically the food here is nice but lack of some local style
as its location at the tourist area.
The food here is quite expensive also....
So....not very recommended for budget traveller

Chilling at Bangla street

Bangla street is a must go place for Phuket night life.
As you can see from the picture here, the whole street is full of pole dancer.
Besides, almost every club here have ping pong show....
What I can said is this is really heaven for some guy...lol

We choose these music bar that have live band inside

Day 3 - Ko Phi Phi

Somemore is a sunny day during this monsoon session.

This is very lucky. I remember 2 years ago when I visit Phi Phi Island is a rainy day

and we miss out some famous tourist spot such as Maya Bay because of this.

We take this tour for 1000 Baht including the entry fee after bargaining. 

The original price during peak season is 1800 baht. 

Remember to confirm with the agency whether your package is including the entrance fee. 

If not, you need to pay another 200 baht when you reach the island.

The agent come and pick us up around 8.30 am. Squeezed like sandwich still die die want wefie

All tourist gather at the bay before departing.
