Many cities in Indonesia are still traditional. In these towns’ tourists may consider dressing modestly to avoid attention. This is only to avoid special attention apart from this there is no specific thing that a person is required to wear.
Accommodation
Accommodation is easily available in big towns; however, accommodation could be difficult to find in less touristy places.

For those who are wishing to stay for a longer period should find good sharing options so that you can accommodate for a cheaper price. If you are travelling in a group then instead of getting a hotel you can book a rented home which would be cheaper and also give you more privacy.
Transportation

travel insurance for yourself. You can make a travel insurance claim anytime when it falls under the terms and conditions of the policy.
