1. Beware of pickpockets
Especially when the crowd at the Jalan Malioboro, be careful with your wallet. Store in a safe place, inside the bag, in front pants pocket, or leave valuables in your hotel room and bring lunch to taste. Do not show the valuables like jewelry are striking, cell phones, and others because it will attract pickpockets.
