Luggage and bags: Locks and cover for your luggage – it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: In Palembang and in most part of western Sumatra, the wet season falls between October and April, the wettest months are January and February that can make travel more difficult. The weather is still hot and more humid, but the January to February rains can come in sudden tropical downpours, and or it can also rain nonstop for a whole day.

Bring plenty of socks to wear while wearing shoes, folding umbrella, a light waterproof rain jacket (heavy plastic raincoat might be too warm for the humid tropics), long pants and/or jeans, shorts, T-shirts, flip flops.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Anti malarial tablets, analgesic pills, Antihistamine pills for any allergic reactions, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo.

Photo Equipment: Extra batteries & zip lock bags for use in protecting your camera equipment, travel documents, etc.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: flashlight, mosquito repellent, & sarong.
