When I get back out there I definitely will buy an international SIM card. This will prevent a headache when visiting other countries, besides Bali, in south-east Asia.
soo happy to see u both back in Bali and I’m sure there’s a deeper reason for it, all things said I can’t imagine a more balanced place to call home in terms of nature, the vibe, food, culture, cost of living and the beautiful Balinese people and Mandy you made a valid point that Bali is what u you make it, if you go there with a positive outlook, only good things will come. Btw you are both looking great. Thanks for a great vlog x
Great to see you back in Bali and vlogging again. I’m also in Bali at Sanur and loving it. Mandy I love the red lippy and the way you own it. Stay healthy guys I don’t want you to get dengue again it’s definitely not a good idea the second time around.
Welcome back to Bali L&M 🖐 Bli Gede looks a nice guy His explanation about coffee and tea so clear, and his english sounds really good too 👏 Kinda Ausie accent LOL* Wish you guys enjoy couple week in Bali 🌏 Matur suksme
WOW.....WHAT A PLEASANT SUPRISE. AND THE CRAZY THING IS I WAS ONLY THINKING OF YOU BOTH YESTERDAY😊😁 REALLY SO GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK IN BALI......AND YOU WILL HAVE AN AMAZINH AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE.....MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF COMING FULL CIRCLE. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, SO NO MORE COMMENT....IM GOING TO WATCH 🕊✨️🙌💙🙏💚🙏💙🙏🙌✨️🦋
6hours from the airport to ubud is ridiculous I stayed there December 8 years ago it was so quiet. We had a villa / hotel all to ourselves beautiful place love Bali .
Yeah, I agree, a international SIM card will save you a ton of money. My friend from Hawaii visited Bali for 2 or 3 weeks and kept his same SIM card and he later received a $$ bill for $700.00 USD. The roaming fees are crazy expensive. Take Lloyd’s advice, but the international SIM card. I usually have a local driver friend pick me up when I arrive to Bali then buy a local SIM card, but the international SIM card would work best for me because I usually travel to Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore or wherever after staying in Bali for 2 months.
So pretty! I enjoyed your Bali vlogs. Hope you’re wearing lots of bug spray. Stay healthy and enjoy it. When is the big trip to Vietnam with your subscribers? That be a fun video.
Love the video, but absolutely no bugs in Jimbaran. Being there dozens of times. Even Murray Wilkinson said in his videos no flies etc in Jimbaran. I don't think they like the salt water mist.
The Head of the Bali Tourism Office, Took Bagus Pemayun, told reporters, “taxi drivers behaving aggressively, threateningly, or simply disrespectfully to both domestic and international tourists are seemingly on the rise. Not only is this a real cause for concern for the safety of tourists, but also a huge issue for Bali’s public image. Bali’s public image.. The money scammers? The drug dealers on every corner? The prostitutes? The pollution? The insane traffic? The locals driving on the footpaths? The filthy beaches? The narcissistic brigade from Canggu? The taxes? The high prices? The corruption? Clown Town is real.
I don't understand why people still put up with all of this. There are significantly more beautiful travel destinations in Asia. The hype of Bali is totally overrated, worst mass tourism, just a night mare...
Yup, another affiliate production by Lloyd the merkat / prairie dog who just stares off unemotionally and Mandy the makeup queen whose face literally disappears without it. At least they weren't off searching for a baahhh (that is bar), taddoo, yoga class or mma gym and were busy not showing what Bali is really like. Good on ya!
Bali has narrow poorly kept roads with wall-to-wall smoky and noisy motor bikes . It is dangerous and difficult breath as riders cut in front of you or ride your rear. The locals view non Balinese as a nuisance. The country is beautiful but ruined by over-tourism and lack of infrastructure.
Welcome back, you should explore other islands too in Indonesia, you will see that each area are totally different than Bali, it is multicultural country.
Yeah, my friend Debi had returned to Bali two years ago and is still there. She started visiting Bali back in the early 1990’s. She seen a different time for Bali that is lost in development. I haven’t been back since Feb, 2020 and really want to get back there. I’m currently in Alaska and it’s friggin’ COLD as ever!
Hallo Lloyd & Mandy Very nice video, enjoy again Bali, maybe Java island ? 🏖🌋🏝🏞🛵. Also Living in Sanur Bali, BergsinBali , RUclipsr Australia 👍🙏🌏🛵🌳🌴🌴🌳 Greetings from us Munich Germany.
Hey guys, we have been following you since you started, we went to Bali about 12 months after you left and it was very quiet, we go there approximately 3 times each year, we wholesale shop for our gift shops in Brisbane. It is Ironic to read you are back, we are here atm too. Just left Ubud and now in Legian headed to Sanur in a couple of days, we will buy you a Bintang if we ever see you out and about. I am looking at your footage of Sri Lanka, seems to be a hidden gem, I know for a fact they have amazing food. Keep up with your life experience sharing, it does a lot for my mental health lol. What does the future hold for you both? Cheers Brendan
Sad how places become Commercialized Tourist Traps. I went to Bali (Kuta Beach) in 1987. It wasn't commercial back then. Totally is now. Still love the country, but maybe time to explore some other Regions of Indonesia. What would you say is the NEW Bali of Indonesia?
I think you're putting it out there honestly from minute 18, Lloyd - it's an Instagram place. I know Mandy is more upbeat and positive about it, but when I see the crazy traffic jams and hear it took you 6hrs to move 40km, then all that I've heard about Bali of late from fellow nomads makes me feel confident about not visiting. I also think it's a showy place; perfect bodies, hair, perfect online jobs; in a much more competitive way than in many other more relaxed nomad destinations. Happy you guys enjoy it but I can tell especially from Lloyds little comments here and there that it wouldn't be my place anymore, so I appreciate the honesty. I know that many people still love Bali, though - so not everyone feels bothered by those things, many actually want to live in these trendy "alpha nomad" communities. We're probably also beginning to be too old for the nepo baby target audience. Bali is the new Marrakech / Goa for many.
Guys, great video as usual. The intro. was a bit promo heavy and longer-winded, than your videos normally are, but ... the rest of the video was as compellingly viewable as your videos normally are. I listened thrice (3x) to the Chap's accent which we were first treated to 09:19. Lloyd, there really is no tinge of Aussie in it, hey. Tell you what though, I have (the three times I've given listening to the chap's accent a go) heard a strong South African accent (itself tinged with Dutch influenced Afrikaans). Your amiable guide sounded like the South Africans I have met and spoken to, at some length not to mention the actors I have heard in films and even listened to here on RUclips.
I don’t drink coffee and only drink teas so visiting this place during my next visit would be awesome. I’ve bought a lot of tea from a shop in KL, Malaysia a few different times.
Love the channel guys and great to see you back in Bali, where it all started. I’ll be in Bali in May and can’t wait. Just wondering if you or anyone have any recommendations on a good ATV tour as so many are advertised throughout social media ?
Wow, it's really cool, the video is very inspiring, Bali is really cool, there are lots of interesting and beautiful tourist attractions that can be visited , so don't miss the interesting things in Bali
Hey guys followed you at the beginning of your journey hadn't checked in for a while and I checked in today and sorry but is Mandy ok cant help but notice how thin she is 😢
We went to a coffee plantation once when we went to Bali ita a great excursion we also liked the mangosteen tea and we bought a number of coffee home with us

Ditch the wacko sunglasses Mandy. Bali looks as dirty as ever & even more crowded. Our Neighbour just got back (regulars to bali pre-covid just like us) and said the traffic is just insane and they are never going back to Bali again - their next trip is North Vietnam. We are booked for July for 10nights to attend a wedding and not looking forward to it as got used to now travelling WA & Australia in our 4WD & Van and just love it as was brought up as a kid doing this as my parents (bless them) were camping/fishing addicts & i got spoilt living & working in Broome for 3yrs before coming back to Perth where we live a stone's throw from Hillarys Beach. I did not appreciate just how good the WA coastline (some 13,000kms long) is until getting off my arse & getting out there and exporing it to its full potential which is just mind blowing - no pollution- pure white sand- crystal clear indian ocean-amazing sunsets- no traffic- no hawkers- pure bliss

I lived in Bali during covid and to be honest it was such a special magical time. 🥰You are right! It was sad and amazing at the same time.

Bali change a bit ... I was there 30 years ago
Hallo apa kabar
So how much has changed in Bali? Feel a bit used from the click bait
Yup, another affiliate production by Lloyd the merkat / prairie dog who just stares off unemotionally and Mandy the makeup queen whose face literally disappears without it. At least they weren't off searching for a baahhh (that is bar), taddoo, yoga class or mma gym and were busy not showing what Bali is really like. Good on ya!
They clearly said its busier, but worth it
It’s dead right now
@@CoolKidsSJJE yeh but it wasn't exactly a detailed review. We watched them drink tea and coffee for about 5 minutes

Great vlog. If you think Bali has changed in the last 2 years, it is nothing compared to how it has changed from 25 years ago when I started going
Yeah, my friend Debi had returned to Bali two years ago and is still there. She started visiting Bali back in the early 1990’s. She seen a different time for Bali that is lost in development.

Hey Lloyd! You remind me of Sean Strickland the UFC fighter . 😂
เราคิดถึงนาย
เเล้วนายล่ะจะเลยมาหาฉันหรือไม่?
Welcome back to Bali - Pls dont diss Bali again on your way out
Can we drive scooter/motorbike with a three people in Bali?
My dudette!!! The opening really hit it on the nose ❤️
อยากไปบ้างจัง😄❤️
I was there in 1980
We went to Bali last April and loved it so much!! Just got to Bangkok and are making videos with some inspiration from you guys!! ❤
Guys, great video as usual.
The intro. was a bit promo heavy and longer-winded, than your videos normally are, but ... the rest of the video was as compellingly viewable as your videos normally are.
I listened thrice (3x) to the Chap's accent which we were first treated to 09:19.
Lloyd, there really is no tinge of Aussie in it, hey.
Tell you what though, I have (the three times I've given listening to the chap's accent a go) heard a strong South African accent (itself tinged with Dutch influenced Afrikaans).
Your amiable guide sounded like the South Africans I have met and spoken to, at some length not to mention the actors I have heard in films and even listened to here on RUclips.
I don’t drink coffee and only drink teas so visiting this place during my next visit would be awesome. I’ve bought a lot of tea from a shop in KL, Malaysia a few different times.

Repeat good sensation & good vibe in Bali is unforgettable experience in human life
Wow, it's really cool, the video is very inspiring, Bali is really cool, there are lots of interesting and beautiful tourist attractions that can be visited , so don't miss the interesting things in Bali
Hey guys followed you at the beginning of your journey hadn't checked in for a while and I checked in today and sorry but is Mandy ok cant help but notice how thin she is 😢
Kauai vs Bali? Which is nicer?
Funny but I’m in Bali right now and heading to Vietnam on Feb 8 to enjoy Tết, going south to north for a month. I’d buy you a beer if I see you two 👍
agree, people are happy to be in Bali, the sunsets, single fin, all are truly special... cheerss
We went to a coffee plantation once when we went to Bali ita a great excursion we also liked the mangosteen tea and we bought a number of coffee home with us

The tea flights in that environment are perfect, would love to do that ❤
Looks good, but Bali not a special place always.

He has found new parents, again, and used to being abandoned by the two he loves the most under the guise of 'he is ok and happy where we left him'.
