Hi guys/gals,

I'll be going to Bali on December as I won free tickets from AirAsia. I've been looking around the pages of this thread and saw the great itenaries and have decided on a 4d/3n tour.

I just want to know in the month of December, where are the places we can visit? I am not interested in visiting the temples so can leave that out. Can anyone help me on this?

Ehhh temples such as Tanah lot, Tmn Ayun, Uluwatu, Bedugul, Bersakith, & etc are the highlights of Bali...If u dun like those, better think twice going to Bali...Bcos...I hv frens just like you & got poisoned by me and came back cursing me for suggesting such a lousy place as she was expecting fun, entertainment & shoppings in those modern environment rather than visiting hulu-hulu places wth temples & etc..

yea bali for people who appreciate nature and heritage

culture.. keyword is culture i think.

ops..yup

I will be going over to Bali coming this Oct for a 3nights stay, I am wondering whether any member or you have known anyone also travelling to Bali alone would like to meet up? I am a guy in my 40s. Any interesting places to recommend too?

u can see beautiful sunset at uluwatu or tanah lot, dont skip that. they r not like chinese temples ... so dont worry ...

Thks for the update

Me going end of oct .
Flights n hotel booked. so hopefully everything is fine n no more malaysian attacks anymore

No worry. i jus landed in malaysia frm bali last night. everything is fine n super safe there.
had a wonderful time there but jus the weather too hot. remember to bring sunblock some extra anti sun weapon if u dun wan to get dark

Hello guys... first time posting here. I'll be going to Bali this coming Nov for my honeymoon... our trip would be 5 days 4 nights. I would appreciate if you guys could advice me on some famous location and restaurants.

Day 1:

Check in Elysian Boutique villa for 2 nights at Seminyak
Since this is an expensive villa so we plan to only go out in the afternoon maybe to Kuta via free shuttle and come back in the evening or else very sayang if go out whole day...
Any place to recommends to visit in Kuta?

Day 2:

Stay at Villa in the morning...
Afternoon may go to Jimbaran there for seafood... (noon time got seafood or not?)
Maybe will stay at Jimbaran for the afternoon...
Night will have dinner at Seminyak (any restaurant can recommend?)

Day 3:

Checkout Elysian and check in Villa Sarna in Ubud... I think I'm taking a risk here because I don't think anyone here stay at Villa Sarna before, most famous one are all fully booked or too expensive.
As usual... can recommend places to visit in the afternoon and places to have dinner at night?

Day 4:

Continue to stay at Ubud area... I like taking photos...

Day 5:

Wake up early for sun rise and have breakfast, relax and checkout and go home.

Those kecak, tarian pendet performed on temple ground are authentic, free & only during the temple festival...If your luck good, u will see it otherwise, pay $$ to see the fake one performing ..Those so dull & fake esp the part thopse guys cucuk their keris....damn..paying to see those actors!!

wow 8 days!i wish i had as much time as you.when you got back please report with photos.i want some inspiration for this coming january trip

oh~ den i shld jus proceed to Jimbaran for sunset dinner better~ cos i read from net that a lot of ppl sae Kecak dance in Uluwatu is a must so i plan to change my schedule to watch d kecak show but now i think maintain d same is d best~ aiksss, my sis call me just now & ask me to consider twice before going as peoples are predicting thy will b tsunami in bali. she ask me to cancel d trip but i dun wan as i hav plan n settle all things 4 our bali trip on 14/10-19/10 ...but i'm worry too...in dilemma now

Hiyah, nature strike everywhere...let it to the god hand...If sked stay in Ubud..which is on High ground or Jimbaran hill side.

Uluwatu wth or without kecak performance is a must liao..The scenery u can't find in Malaysia...

will b stayin in ubud for 2 days n kuta for 2 days lo~ aiksss, as u sae, let it to the god hand & just pray hard~ i dun wan to miss dis chance & better dun let dis thing spoil my mood & trip~ yeap, everything will b alrite ~!!!

yupe, as i plan, we will go uluwatu around 3pm den proceed to Jimbaran at 5 sumthing for sunset dinner (if watch kecak show at 6.00pm den will miss d sunset at Jimbaran le lo)~

thanks for ur advice ~

p/s: another question:-
Day 2, we will check out Kuta hotel n proceed to Ubud. On the way will stop at Barong Dance, Celuk, Sukawati Market, MAS & Ubud Village then lunch at Ibu Oka. What's the best time should reach at Ibu Oka for lunch? 12.00pm+ is it ok?? Can i get it on time according to my above itinerary??

I have no idea on Ibu Oka bcos I din know the existence during my visit..

hey guys, im going to bali for 5 days 4 nights end of october.

has anyone stayed at nusa dua beach hotel and spa before? and is driving around in bali safe? or do i need to hire a driver?

really appreciate the feedback.

many thanks

Nusa Dua pretty quiet & relaxing. Yes driving around is safe but roads are narrow. If for me I will rent & drive myself..but majoprity here sked and hire a driver as well.
