Things handy to get when travelling in Indonesia: 1. Local sim card: its handy to have to communicate with people when on the move, and useful when looking for directions to places. I've bought a TelkomSel sim card for 130,000 rupiah (~$10 USD) that has 7GB of data. 2. Motorbike/scooter (cost around $5-6 USD per day) 3. Water (and lots of it) 4. Pocari Sweat 5. Sunscream 6. Try surfing (Oddessy in Bali) Make sure you have an international driver's licence if you chose to ride a scooter.

In most cases you may have got a direct flight from your country to Haikou directly rather than to Sanya. However, most the attractions lie in Sanya esp. the best beaches are all situated in or near Sanya such as Dadonghai, Yalong Bay and others. In the case of arriving at Haikou Meilan International Airport and heading to Sanya straight. The best method is the high speed rail from Meilan Airport to Sanya Train Station. Once you go through immigration and customs in Meilan you walk to the front exit which is straight.

Upon the exit to where cars or taxis are waiting, there is a sign that lists in both Chinese and English the various means of ...

The Trip.com app is much basic but easier to use compared with the apps of hotels.com and booking.com  One of the notable differences with this app, compared with other apps is the fact it has a "Trip Planner" tab for all your booked flights, hotels, and vehicle rides. Another tab is for deals, which can be useful if you are eyeing out for a deal. Caption 1: Screenshot of the Trip Planner Tab Why Trip.com? Trip.com like Hotels.com, Expedia, or Booking.com is a travel bookings website for flights, hotels/hostels, trains (selected countries), car hire, and tours.
