11Travel Tips for Bruneians Visiting Indonesia

• Currency: The official currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas. US dollars are sometimes accepted at hotels and tour operators, but you'll get better value using rupiah.
• Language: Bahasa Indonesia is the national language, and English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, especially in Bali, Jakarta, and major destinations.
• Health: Bring mosquito repellent and consider anti-malarial medication for certain regions. Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever.
• Weather: Indonesia has a tropical climate with two seasons: dry season (April–October) is best for travel; wet season (November–March) has daily rain showers but is still warm and enjoyable.
• Culture: Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples and religious sites. Always ask before taking photos of people. Respect local customs and traditions.
• Safety: Indonesia is generally safe for tourists, but use common sense, keep valuables secure, and be cautious in crowded areas.
• Electricity: Indonesia uses Type C and F plugs (European style, 220V). Bring an adapter if needed.
• Emergency: Dial 110 for police, 118 for medical emergency, 113 for fire and rescue, 108 for general information.
