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.

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.

The Museum of South Sumatra stands a few miles north of the Ampera Bridge, a couple of hundred metres west of Jalan Jenderal Sudirman. This is no concrete sarcophagus to a dead past. In its galleries and grounds a city on the Musi travels in time, and stones where scribes chiselled regal stories live on into their second millenium.
