    1. Bring Your Camera and Power Bank

    Food and entertainment in a hangout spot is basic. But one thing to remember that Thamrin 10 is free of entry fee, meaning every activity inside the square is free for everyone.

    Every attraction in Thamrin 10 follows particular theme every month. The culinary hub highlights Chinese culture in February honoring Chinese New Year. Thus, expect the decoration is full of Chinese lanterns, with lion and dragon dances display among entertainment.  

    Some Jakarta’s most sought-after singers also have done their performance in Thamrin 10’s music stages.

    Thamrin 10 is not an ultra-instagrammable hangout spot. But it is still a great place considering you can get the best experience and entertainment for free.

    That’s why, bring your own camera (or camera phone is enough), and make sure to bring along power bank. There are a lot of things to capture at Thamrin 10, but it doesn’t provide sockets.

    Thamrin 10 provides several amenities, such as toilet, nursery room, and praying room.
