The cost of living in Indonesia varies by region but is generally comparable to domestic levels, with some areas even lower. Here are some specific daily consumption references:
1. Dining Expenses: Meals in Indonesia are relatively affordable. For example, in Bali, a 1.5-liter bottle of Coca-Cola costs about 9 RMB, and a disposable lighter is about 3 RMB. In Jakarta, a teppanyaki chicken set meal costs around 25 RMB, and one liter of milk is about 9-10 RMB.
2. Accommodation Expenses: Accommodation prices vary greatly depending on the star rating and location. A five-star hotel is approximately 200 USD, while a three-star hotel is around 50 USD. Renting an 80 square meter one-bedroom apartment in Jakarta, including water, electricity, internet, and cleaning fees, is about 4500 RMB per month.
3. Transportation Expenses: In Jakarta, a brand new Toyota Camry costs about 310,000 RMB. Public transportation such as buses, MRT, or using the ride-hailing app Gojek is more economical.
4. Shopping Expenses: Indonesian handicrafts and souvenirs are renowned worldwide for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique designs. Prices can vary significantly, starting from just a few dozen RMB, with no clear upper limit, making it easy to find something for every budget.
Tipping Culture: Tipping is a common practice in Indonesia and is often expected in various service scenarios. For instance, at the airport, customs officers may discreetly ask Chinese travelers for a tip, typically starting from 100 RMB. Similarly, taxi drivers appreciate tips, and it’s customary to add a little extra to the fare as a gesture of gratitude.
I’ve always wanted to visit Lombok! The hiking experiences sound amazing, and I love that it’s less crowded than Bali. Have you tried any of the waterfalls there? They look incredible.
Absolutely! Lombok’s waterfalls are truly breathtaking, especially Tanggeusan and Sendang Gile—both offer such serene escapes. Hiking to them is half the adventure, with lush landscapes and fresh water to cool off in. Thanks for your interest; it sounds like you’d absolutely love it there!
