Great info Mate. I spend 3-5 months a yr in Bali. I only eat local foods, I do have ice, salads etc never had an issue. I never use the left hand to hand over cash, never walk on offerings , always dress appropriately, & I do spend time on the Gili Islands, Lovina Lombok, Tabanan etc . I spend a few days in Ubud & Legian on each trip..
Going to Bali then Singapore in a few weeks!!!!! So excited!! Thank you for this information. I have been watching videos so I knew some of this stuff, but now I know more!!! 😊
I recommend to start from Lovina in north Bali. Way less touristy than south. It's kind of mid ground between purely traditional and modern. Just be prepared for long drive trough mountainous area. It shoulda take 3 or 4 hours to get to Lovina from Denpasar (airport). Avoid driving after 6pm because the road to north Bali is poorly lit or sometime none lighting at all.
As Indonesian I can say that your guide/information useful. I have to agree with south Bali, those areas you mentioned are crowded. North Bali is better if you want to experience less touristy aspect of Bali. Sure there are lots of hotels there, but none of them belong to big hotel chain (eg: Hyatt, Hilton, Mercure etc). The price of goods up north is also way cheaper than south. The drawback would be distance. It took 3-4 hours of drive to get to north Bali (Buleleng, Singaraja or Lovina) but on the plus side, you'll be rewarded with nice mountain scenery while driving. And about tap water... If you really have to drink/use it, just make sure to boil it first then it's mostly safe.
Hey, we're planning our honeymoon around the first week of March 2024 and I'd love to know if it's a good time, because I've read that it can get too humid and wet? Secondly, we want to have some activities/cultural experiences but also chill at the beach; we're thinking of visiting Ubud and Uluwatu; are these good places to visit for a less touristy vibe while still experiencing Bali's culture? We're only there for 5-6 days so we plan on picking 2 places.
Hey Ryan, loved watching your videos. Can you help a bit with the itinerary as me n my wife will be in bali with our 2 years old kid. We will be there for 9 nights.
Hey I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! If you’re only in Bali for 9 nights and with kids then I would recommend slower travel. I would probably spend half the time in Uluwatu visiting the most beautiful beaches in Bali and then the other half of the time in Ubud where you can do more cultural activities and see some waterfalls and rice terraces 😁
Hi how are you? I’m about to apply an tourist visa but need one sponsor from Bali . Unfortunately I have no one there . Do you have any idea please? Regards Gani
@@RyanLeeBanks thanks but I have travel document not a an ordinary passport. my application got rejected. the embassy said if you have sponsor from local you can get the visa. I booked the ticket and all now they rejected. I don’t know what to do
This is a very unique position you’re in that I don’t know any information about. You would be best off contacting your immigration services or embassy to get official advice.
anywhere in the world wear a helmet even on bikes, cement, rocks and metal is harder than your head. Practice in the morning or quiet area before with your rented scooter....as for food why travel the world to eat crap... the local stuff is fresher, affordable and many vegetarian options.. avoid food washed in tap water..
Yes, about the language. Based on my experience, mostly tourists from Russia expect that all locals can say perfect English. They're going to give bad reviews about Oh, they can't give me the answer perfectly. LoL..POS

Hi Ryan, would love to see your tips on the less touristy Bali itinerary for 2 weeks? It’s for a honeymoon 🎉
Hey! If I find some time to sit down and do it I totally will! ♥️🙌
I am interested in knowing about the hidden places

Hey! You don’t need a sponsor for a tourist visa. You only need a sponsor if you want a work visa

That’s one hell of a risk you took there 🤣
Where is the recommended hidden place? :O

Yup! So many people expect the locals to be able to speak perfect English and I have no idea why…
Fkn Right ! > Orang Indonesia di Toronto, Canada
I did not know that so many cell phone snatcher in Bali, I thought only the monkeys do that.
Monkeys do it too! But yes, be careful on scooters
The only thing I can think of that detracts from Bali are the obnoxious tourists.
Ok what I saw: Get a tattoo 😂
Always get a tattoo 😂
12 more of the same video tell you 12 things not to do in Bali.... ffs...
It’s a good thing you’ve had time to watch all 12 videos 🥳
Can we smoke weed
Not in Bali, but in Thailand you can
