Indonesia in New Year, visa for Thai teerak

**david44** · 21-11-2015, 10:29 AM

Just got home to a coolish N Thailand, her indoors fancies some winter sun I find 20 degree nights pleasant yet local lasses have the coats and gloves on as Loy Krathong looms

Heard somewhere Indonesia plans visa free holidays sometime soon.
Fancy a visit again in new year, I know Medan well yet not used the new airport,what's est way into downtown, or are there any good hotels very close?
Any info on Makkasssar aka Ujung Pangjang and PELNI Office there?

Like to ring Thai wife will she need a visa in advance?

or on arrival thinking of 2 weeks in Nias or Sulawesi, any tips welcome.

Is there anywhere else warmer and visa free shes seen Khmers,Oman Loas Oz, Malaya,Ive no desire Maldives Lanka again ,all I read of Philippines is squalor same .

Singapore and Vietnam come to mind.

Visa free for ASEAN. Manado has corals, beaches, food, drink and comfortable lifestyle.

Tana Toraja in Central Sulawesi worth a visit, cooler climate, some interesting walks and/or rafting trips.

Makkassar has little going for it other than an interesting fort, indoor theme park and an airport.

Yes the easy flights as gateway to sulawesi,are there still folks making the trad wooden boats?

I think this is my indoor theme park so wailing kids etc not my scene

'pends what you want? Beaches? Solitude? Diving? Upmarket? Downmarket?

I have a soft spot for Toba having lived there for a year. Peaceful, sunshine, small enough to explore on foot. etc. If you are into golf there is a pretty local course near the Japanese run Hydro dam..

If you want beaches and sand then..

As said Asean visa free, most western nationalities are now visa on arrival.

Toba is great stayed at Porsea,Tuktuk and Siantar, do you have up to date Hotel tiips ,Carolina was too quiet we liked the places up near Romulan where there was a choice of eats

**VocalNeal** · 21-11-2015, 02:18 PM

Nah, Haven't been there for some time. Didn't know there was a hotel in Porsea!

Yes Carolina quiet but there is or used to be a small pizza restaurant just down the street.

Bagus Bay is good for a Homestay, run by expat? Mates used to go there to "smoke"

Never been but when I lived in Palembang I never got to Belitung Island and they have resorts, if you are up for something different.
