Things to do in Sultan Thaha Airport
Jambi is a city on Sumatra's Batanghari River and the gateway to the Muaro Jambi Temple Compound — a sprawling Buddhist complex dating to the 7th–13th century Srivijaya and Melayu kingdoms, making it one of Southeast Asia's most significant archaeological sites. The old city has a river-facing Chinatown district with colonial shophouses, and traditional Jambi batik textile workshops produce distinctive geometric patterns using local motifs.

Top Tips for Sultan Thaha Airport
- Muaro Jambi is about 26 km from the city — arrange a private driver or rental car, as public transport to the temple complex is unreliable.
- June–September is the driest and most comfortable season; Sumatra's wet season (October–April) brings significant rainfall.
