I really like your videos and your commentary & vibe....its refreshing to see a solo man traveller making these videos..seems the "industry" is awash with 20 something couples with a pretty ( usually) young girl helping the views and subscribers along and good luck to them, its great to see you doing your thing, explaining in detail the cost of food, hotels, trips etc which is what everyone wants to know...keep up the good work my friend
We are heading there in March 2023and can't wait. You latest series is a God send. Thank you for capturing the atmosphere ! Gives us something to drool over until we go :)
I've enjoyed this series on Bali, it's getting better by the day! Seems to have got more chilled as you go - Padma Beach area looked nice. And yes, watched to the end. Thanks Sidie!
OMG I didn't realize how much I really miss listening to reggae in Bali until I watched your vid. 1 Week 2 days and I will finally be back there again, yay! Another great update Bali video, Cheers.
30:09 I just recently started watching your videos, absolutely awesome and fun to watch. What I love is how informative you are and down to earth, the videos are about the place and experience. After seeing the beautiful scenery, friendly people, awesome food, and the great prices, I just need to get there. 👍
Yes watched until the end, great info thanks, will be there in 13 days, must get to the Reggae on the beach. I lost count at 55 trips, Bali is my happy place.
WOW STL, you nailed it! Great, people, beaches, food, hotels and prices! Who could ask for anything more? We love your classy and informative videos as always. Keep them coming :)
One of your best vids to date imo. Place looks fantastic. Great Reggae bar. Making me want to go there. Would definitely stay in that hotel. $8 a night is a no brainer. Need to check flights from the UK.
What a great video! We will be there in 3 weeks. Slow Sanur is more my thing but we have two nights in kuta so might pop up to double 6 beach for a look at night. Congratulations on a really good video!
Great Video, like always. We are very thankful for your work and effort, bringing the most interesting and beautiful spots to us. It also contains important inputs for travel preparations. Please continue with Your channel !
Hi, Did you know I'm Canadian too....anyways...I love your video so much and i love the squirrel in your video and i liked and subscribed. Hope you have a good day. Bye!
I can't believe the price of hotel rooms both in Bali and Thailand. I have a pretty comfortable suite in a hotel an old friend of mine owns and I pay a decent price for renting but the rooms are from $ 100 to $ 150 a night for regular guests. The difference is I live in Canada and things are a wee bit more expensive but your Canadian as well so you can relate to that. At least this winter when I'm in Thailand I won't have to pay a heating bill and it won't take me 15 minutes to get dressed to make a 5 minute walk.
Hiya STL, great intro. Lovely place to stay. Nice pool. Always beautiful views. Always informative. I watch all your videos. Beach is gorgeous. That woman, bless her. 😆 Good choice with rooms. So cheap. Makes sense when editing. Haha, I watch animal channels and cooking channels when not watching RUclips. News is a no-no, only negative vibes there. Love the drone footage. Beautiful sunset. Perfect landing. Sand up, ya bum. 😆🤣 Your ribs looked tasty. Love your videos. You're great with adding all the prices. Always good vibes. Reggae. Love it. The band face when you tipped them. Nice tip. The beach at night was banging. Love the vibes and music. Great to hear you letting go and singing. Love watching your travels. Liked and shared. Untill next time. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you for watching and commenting as always Nicky! Where you find time to watch at all, or any cooking shows etc between doing cooking on your own channel plus being a super mod on many channels, plus daily walking Buddy and filming, I'll never know lol! Take care, STL
I endured! Thanks, another enjoyable vid. Could always do with more Reggae, though ;) Your Bali series is timely - I'm going there for the first time in a few weeks. Cheers - Phil.
Yes! You went to La Plancha!!! (with all the beanbag chairs, I love that place!) OMG you go to our other favourite!! TIGER ITCHY BUM!!!! yessss!!! Also we have stayed at Swiss-Belinn twice, I know there's no balcony but our stay both times were great :D
Your extra advice about whatever's,this case the computer, which I know nothing about,is still appreciated. Really, never know, especially when you keep it short.
Been going to Bali with the Fam for 10 years or more first went there in the mid 80's with friends still going probably always will, love Lembongan and Penida ; )
I’m amazed at the inexpensive prices of the food there. 🥳 And it really looks delicious! 😋 How are the drink prices though...like cocktails or hi-balls? The sunset sky looks epic 🤩... the amount of chill people on that beach though...😱🤯 Kudos to you taking us through, just watching it on RUclips gave me a bit of anxiety. 🤣😝 (But hey, the singing at the end was worth it.) 😁😉😂. Oh, and then you did a mirror shot at the beginning... been watching on and off for a couple of years now and was a cool catch to see! Have fun wherever you are now. 🎉✌🏼😅 Cheers! 🍻
Thanks so much for your videos. I am planning a southeast Asia trip with my husband and the hotels that you side trip to are great for my research and booking options. We are going to be traveling for about a year leaving Sept 2023. We plan to visit Bali, Lombok, Malaysia, Phillipines, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. I appreciate that you do seek out many local and cultural things to do as we are not into the Touristy things to do and only rarely.
Hi STL!! I just start watching your videos last month and they are amazing! You give great details on all of your adventures and you have plenty. You are a knowledgeable traveler. I love that you enjoy traveling single and sharing how affordable life is living abroad. As you mention, the vibe is not resort living, the VIBE is the beach. I LOVE REGGAE TOO!! I plan to retire abroad in 3 years. I’ve experienced Mexico’s vibe for 3 years. Now it’s time for me to visit Pattaya, Thailand (May of 2024). After Thailand I will visit Bali. I hope to enjoy the Double Six Beach, it looks better at night. Oh my, the music is GREAT. I need to retire now! Enjoy your travels STL🏖️🏝️😎 #myretirementjourney
Wow. A very comprehensive review STL. I don't usually like hotel reviews, but you have blended it in with lots of other activities and all done in 30 mins. Very good. Still too many of my fellow countrymen there for me personally as defeats the purpose of International travel, but looks great nevertheless. Well done. Great to see Bali busy again.
Well what a great place you chose to stay. Perfect base for exploring and what a great price. Definitely my favourite. Not surprised you went to another Ibis. Who knew 🙂 there would be two so close. Lovely sunset!! I would be scared flying a drone too. Really loved the look of the nano nano restaurant. They have put a lot of effort in and it looks fabulous. I saw on previous comments that someone said you are expected to reply to every comment. I don't agree, it's enough spending all that time videoing, editing. Just walking to a few places to look around is exhausting in the heat. Comment when you want to and feel like it. The reason I haven't commented so much before isn't because I havnt watched until the end, it's more to do with, often I have a lot to comment on - see above 🤣🤣 I watch all your videos though, can see you could do with some encouragement at the moment so commenting more :) well thank you for showing me some amazing places, definitely much better than the news. Oh when you can would you put more links in the description for previous and future videos. As you tube doesn't do this and it can be impossible to search for these on you tube if I don't know the title.
Ps I would still like to see the bathrooms in the rooms you pick, I saw someone commented on that too. Brave asking for feedback and not all feedback is good for you.
PS: the bathroom was a bit grotty to be honest but shower hella hot, so that was good. And yes, just wasn't up to making to making replies last week but pulled myself up and replied to all who were so kind to comment positive or negative on my community tab (including your positive comments, thanks again:) STL
To be in Bali, that close to the beach, for just $8 per night, is an absolute steal. No wonder there looked like there were some people staying long term, at an expected discount, that can't be more than maybe $200 a month!!!!
@@SideTripLife hope you're having an amazing time. Bali is well known for its walled, private pool villas. If you get a chance, might be worth checking out one of them. I know Phuket has tried to replicate something similar, but nothing can match the narrow lanes of Bali.
Nice video 👍 Just sharing, the best beaches in Bali from my opinion are: - Seminyak Beach (best for the hedonists) - Melasti Beach (best for a scenic drive) - Nusa Lembongan (best for day trippers) - Jimbaran Beach (best for seafood sunsets) - Amed Beach (best for diving & snorkeling) - Sanur Beach (best for sunrise & cycling) - Kuta Beach (best for all-things tourism) - Lovina beach (best for spotting dolphins) Still tens of beaches, but I recommended those above
I enjoy your videos. Very informative. I'm planning a trip to Bali and starting out in Kuta. What are your top three hotels in this area? I'm looking for 1. Close to beach ⛱️ 2. Good pool 🏊♂️ 3. Balcony. Breakfast buffets are a nice bonus too.

Feels weird to be in Bali watching a video about Bali. Great vid! Definitely heading down to Padma and Double Six tomorrow night.
WOW STL, you nailed it! Great, people, beaches, food, hotels and prices! Who could ask for anything more? We love your classy and informative videos as always. Keep them coming :)

Wonderful trip, the bands on the beach are quite good.
Yes, esp the reggae band (I may be biased;)
Always endure to the end m8. I missed this vid, so now I have 2 in a row.
What a treat 😁
You`re putting out some great content STL . You`ve definately put Bali on my bucket list.
IamSpartacus thanks! Bali can get pretty bustling but Legian a bit more chill than Kuta. Next up, Canggu, Ubud and Nusa Dua. STL
Just wow 😮 mate - so many accom choices - pricing is so cheap - and beaches , nightlife - so good - Thanks my friend 👏🙏
Thanks ANT as always! STL
That Ibis styles on Padma is my go to, stayed there many times, great value.
Ibis really is great value! Plus yours looks to have superb dinner specials.
I can't wait to visit Bali. Thanks for sharing great information on places I would have never ventured out to. 😉
Great video as always, that room in Je Je hotel was an absolute steal 🙂
Ooooooh the reggae band sends me chills….great performance. ❤
I was there with you brother, the whole video. :) What a day! I like your "first person", spontaneous style of recording.
Keep it rolling...
Thanks for taking us on a nice trip again!! And watched it all to the end....like the rest of your vids.
Cheers Julien! STL
Your videos I will always make it through to the end! Always absolutely amazing content.
Thanks, I appreciate that! STL

Thanks for the lovely comment :) STL
In 1987 there was nothing on Double 6 beach other than the Double 6 club! It was also called Gado Gado beach and was in the middle of "Nowhere" lol
Hi, Did you know I'm Canadian too....anyways...I love your video so much and i love the squirrel in your video and i liked and subscribed. Hope you have a good day. Bye!

Great blog :) enjoy 🎉 😊Bali is amazing
Good video! Love what we saw of the neighborhood around Padma beach. Looks really chill.
Thanks Caryn! It can also get pretty full on depending the spot/time but there's still some chill scenes as well. STL

Another excellent video from STL.
Stayed till the end. Love this video, ❤️
Great vids , great information as always. Used your vids for Koh Chang and now bali. I appreciate the real videos.
Another great Bali vid! Keep up the good work!
Thank you James. STL

Just sharing, the best beaches in Bali from my opinion are:
- Seminyak Beach (best for the hedonists)
- Melasti Beach (best for a scenic drive)
- Nusa Lembongan (best for day trippers)
- Jimbaran Beach (best for seafood sunsets)
- Amed Beach (best for diving & snorkeling)
- Sanur Beach (best for sunrise & cycling)
- Kuta Beach (best for all-things tourism)
- Lovina beach (best for spotting dolphins)
Still tens of beaches, but I recommended those above
Thanks, also for sharing a great list from an insiders POV, much appreciated! STL
Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks Dean! STL
Love to hear some temperatures in your travels.
Seldom talk about temps as they're fairly constant (except upper Thailand etc in winter months). But will do. Thanks
