Been living in Bali for 3,5 years and finding this vid to be one of the most insightful and realistic guides I have seen in months. Well done fellow South Africans!
I'm Indonesian, I can say that the information is legit :) About a custom using right hand is considered more polite because we commonly use our left hand for toilet thing. Btw don't forget to visit Java Island too :) there are many tourist destinations along Java like Tumpak Sewu Waterfalls, Prambanan Temple, Borobudur Temple, etc. I do recommend you to search for information prior visiting the places. Well, have a nice holiday :)
Hello, I read that you need need an invitation from Bali Embassy before you can apply for visa from Nigeria, please can you recommend a legit agency to contact?
Myself, being an expat who's been living in Bali for 3+ years. This video has to be the best I've come across.. You guys didn't just base everything in Canggu.. like everyone else... Great content!!!
Nusa Pernida is a great island, even for day trips. Go early and rent a decent bike on the island like an Nmax (so pay a bit more) because the roads are hairy and you'll want a better ride. Get to the spots before all the lazy late risers show up. Climb down to Kelingking Beach - it's beautiful and 90% of visitors don't even bother because they find it too hard. To go to Diamond Beach on a day trip is far but is possible. There are plenty of overnight options on the island too. Enjoy
Only 2 mins in and already this is one of the most helpful vids ever. You can find info about waterfalls and beach bars in many vids, but you can’t get there without a visa 😅
Really liked this video because you can tell y’all are real and not just bullshitting like a lot of other Bali RUclipsrs *cough cough* lost leblanc. The bit about skipping that temple was really interesting, I’m still gonna go cause photos, but I appreciate y’all setting the expectations about it being a tourist trap.
We also did a tour to Nuss penida und June 2020. yes the island is full of people and the traffic is terrible, but we drove with a local guide and we were able to see every must see things on the island within one day. We were super happy to do this and I would recommend to everyone to do these crazy experience/tour. But I get your point to take more time for this island, burning fact if you are one or two days on the island, the traffic will be the same. But you can maybe get early on the morning to the beautiful spots and take your time there.
In Muslim/Hindu cultures, the left hand is used to wash your butt with water after pooping (before the days of a bidet). Therefore the left hand is considered “unclean” - I used to be reprimanded for extending out my left hand, or worse-eating with my left hand lol. Great video!
Only just now noticed your recent posting. Have to assumed that both of you are finally back in Paradise. In your absence in Indonesia you are truly missed and I am thrilled and excited that you are back in my most beautiful country of the world. Your posting about Indonesia is always highly appreciated as it is you dear Reth and Claire that gives beautiful Indonesia that extra sparks as the Diamand of the world. With highest regards Reggie
This is the best of best description i ever watched about a travel destination. Better than the government paid presentation. Please make presentation like this wherever you guys go. First time i am visiting your channel and i did subscribed it.
Very informative. FYI - the right hand thing is due to the majority of Indonesians being muslims. The left hand is used for personal ablutions. Not sure if it is the same for Hindus but certainly most islands in Indonesia have this same cultural view. Hope this helps.
Glad to know that you both were having a range of enjoyable trips in Bali. For your question about the reason of why having to give and/or take some things using our right hand is that generally in Indonesia, people tend to use left hands for cleaning up their bums after taking a dump in the toilet 😂 Hope this explains your curiosity of why it is better to always use our right hands instead.
I've enjoyed your Bali video series - so informative and professional, yet still personable. I am thinking about visiting Bali for a few months as I make RUclips videos and can work from anywhere. Thank you for your videos.
Preparing my second trip to Bali right now and I can't wait. This video is great advice and I wholeheartedly agree. If you have the time also go to Nusa Lembongan and Ceningan. You can do both in a day but they're amazing and not as crowded as Nusa Penida yet!
This was exactly what I was looking for. The amount of accommodation available is confusing and so many towns! Perhaps you could do a video for old farts, that don't want the bustle, nightclubs, etc. We are on a pension, so the 5 star places are sadly out. We are ex South africans now living in Perth, love it here, but local holidays are mega expensive. Bali would be a great option as we are longing for a holiday, so how about a video for seniors. Love Cathy.
@@RhettandClaire I will definitely do that. Unfortunately it's not going to be for a while yet. The plan right now is to come in November during the rainy season. Mostly to avoid some of the bigger crowds
Rhett and Claire, This Video was as comprehensive as anyone can do on Bali. So Well done Guys!👏👏. Hope you guys are doing ok. Sending you love and kisses 💖💖 Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond. Va.
I would like to thank you for the super helpful tips and there were many useful points in your video which I didn't find in other videos. I found your video very informative and helpful in planning my trip to Bali and I wish you best of luck for all your future adventures. I am subscribing to your channel because I liked the suggestions you provided and I hope to see more like this in future for other places as well.
There are some other cheaper bottled/gallon water (for example: Biru, it will cost around 10k per gallon) but my family usually use it to brush our teeth and cooking. For direct consumption just stick to Aqua, Club, Cheers, or Cleo (any brand from Alfamart or Indomaret). Also for my fellow girlies, if you are going to go to a temple or any other sacred places, please don't go there while you are on your periods.
Super comprehensive guide! Luv your video. I will spend 10 day trip there with my gf in September. Thank you for your video. I feel much more comfortable going there
Hi your videos are very helpful with my trip to bali. I just visited last week. I’ve watch all of your bali videos. Great help especially i’m also doing vlogs and just uploaded some of it. Thank you💞
This is very helpful.. I'll be in Bali this coming Feb 17 to 27. First time to travel abroad ans celebrating my birthday. I already jot down all your suggestions. More power to your channel.
Hi. I’m going for the first time in Aug of this year. Did you have to present your vaccine card for Covid? Did you encounter any snakes? (I have a snake phobia and will not be able to handle it) thanks for answering my questions.
@@helenetran9134 no snakes at all. Just wall geckos at villa garden. We weren’t asked to show proof of vaccination. But an electronic custom declaration is a must. Enjoy it there
In Indonesia, giving/receiving with your left hand is considered impolite. Though, if you're a foreigner people here will understand if you use your left hand. The most common answer to why is that is because the left hand is for "bathroom business". But that's just what parents say to their kids to teach them manner, so it's actually not because your hand is dirty with peepee or poopoo stains. Even if you use the bidet you're still being taught to use the right hand for giving/receiving. So, yeah, I'm an Indonesian myself but now that I write it down I don't know the actual reason. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Well done! I am actually returning to a favorite place outside Ubud in November after a nearly three-year, plague-related absence. One thing all travelers should be aware of is, first, at least COVID medical insurance is still mandatory throughout much of the area with most nations having minimums (believe Vietnam is $10,000 USD specifically earmarked for COVID treatment.) Also - pre-travel testing. Still mandatory and I believe a clear PCR is still necessary before entering Indonesia. Yes, things DO change quite often! Also, remember, if one doesn't fly directly into Indonesia, long layovers in countries like Japan present their own challenges. btw, Safety Wing has a maximum traveller age, so isn't a good solution for everyone. Also, there are lots of myths about the exorbitant cost of travel insurance for seniors which are, simply, "MYTHS!" Thanks for your informative vid!
Watch out that a lot of ATMs have cards skimmers. Use only ATMs at a bank where there is a security guard, not those accessible at night or in a minimart!
Very informative as something that needs to be put on the bucket list to go and look at. Thank you for all the research that you were doing and providing us with traveling with you
Thank you guys for sharing, the streets remind me of India a little. I am just planning my journey there so this is very useful. How beautiful, just cannot wait to go there now.

Thank you bru! We appreciate this comment☺️🙏🏻
hi, how is the wether during march usually ? does it rains heavily throughout the day ?
@@dianakawkji3032 not too heavy in March. It is very hot then though
@@IanB671 do you mean it's hot because it's the begginig of dry season? or just hot in general ? would it be better visiting late April?
@@dianakawkji3032 dry season (july-september) is cooler. I recommend visiting then

I have always been told not to visit Java because it is dangerous
@@Jack-ki8ei it’s not, at all😊
Hello, I read that you need need an invitation from Bali Embassy before you can apply for visa from Nigeria, please can you recommend a legit agency to contact?
What is Bali’s official government website- need to apply for an e visa ☺️
I'm Balinese and I'm happy to see polite and nice tourist like you. Bali is always waiting for you two to come🤍
Straight forward, no nonsense and pretty informative. The internet needs more videos like this. Thanks!
Myself, being an expat who's been living in Bali for 3+ years. This video has to be the best I've come across.. You guys didn't just base everything in Canggu.. like everyone else... Great content!!!
Wow! Thank you for this awesome comment!😁🙏🏻🙌🏻
hi, how is the weather during beginning of march? is it a good time to visit Bali without expiriencing heavy rain?
Why do you call yourself an expat. Are you not a migrant.
Terima kasih sudah mengenalkan negara kami Indonesia khususnya Bali ke seluruh dunia ...salam sehat selalu buat kalian berdua ...🤩🇮🇩
I followed you guys since 2020 and from a fellow south African your vlogs where so useful. Leaving Sunday 26 June for my very first Bali trip
Hi Minette. We’re very happy you found our videos helpful 😃 It’s always great to receive some support from back
home 😃🇿🇦
How much can we withdraw at the ATM at per transaction
@@Rippleofflove depends on the ATM. Usually between 1.5 million to 3 million IDR ($100-200).
I really like how u emphasized so much that one should not fall sick on a short holiday and ruin the trip 🙂
Recently move back to Bali . After spend long time in overseas, love it here Thank you guys love your video very details.
Nusa Pernida is a great island, even for day trips. Go early and rent a decent bike on the island like an Nmax (so pay a bit more) because the roads are hairy and you'll want a better ride.

My tip is , travel light with luggage cos you’ll be amazed how much stuff you buy to take home! Great Vlog,cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘

Hi guys!! We are from SA, planning a Bali trip in Sept 2023. Absolutely LOVE your videos xxx So helpful❤
My new favourite channel! Love the honesty and recommendations

Awesome, thank you!
I would say, this is legit info.

Glad it was helpful! You’re going to have a wonderful time 😃 We have tons of Bali content you can check out to prepare 😊
When I visited Bali I enjoyed Ubud more than the beaches at Nusa Dua. Thanks for your informative videos!
Ubud is a very special place😍. No problem!
This is the best of best description i ever watched about a travel destination. Better than the government paid presentation. Please make presentation like this wherever you guys go. First time i am visiting your channel and i did subscribed it.
Wow! Thank you so much😁🙏🏻. We will do these videos for every destination!
This is the most comprehensive vid ever! It’s like an academic paper on Bali. Love you guys! Hope to see you in the Philippines!
Love that analogy! Thank you dude😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@RhettandClairedon't thank me yet. Thank me when you arrive here in the Philippines and I treat you over lunch buffet or something. Let me know!

Very good information 👍👍 nice thing hanging in the bathroom for water is "Bidet shower "😉 very common in south east Asia
Also available in South Africa, Grohe and kohler sprays are of a good quality.
