Sukawati Souvenir market. Some mentioned Ubud too but I din stop there. If u can tahan those crazy sellers that continously kacau u at Kintamani or the tegalalang rice field than u can bargain kow-kow wth them...u can even get cheaper there compare wth sukawati or Ubud...but once u buy 1 others will offer even cheaper!! .

planning to go to bali on next year February.. just wanted to know is there any monsoon season at Bali?

You guys have to go to uluwatu to check out the Lords of Uluwatu!!!



Serious.. you guys have to watch out of these monsters... they will take your DCam.. and just throw it over here ---->


You dont have to go all the way to Australia.. to see the 7 apostle cliffs... they got one in Uluwatu....well, not that same la but, think of it as budget wan lo...


you have to go to this temple.. when there's a lot of clouds.. makes it look heavenly


The famous jimbaran sunset dinner...


Tanah Lot temple in the morning..


Expect to see a lot of these guys.. huge!, about 2ft. and look at the size of his er.....er...


The most beautiful thing about Bali is.. all the house's and building have these things... trully unique.

Can anyone recommend me a hotel in Ubud which somewhat look like those in Tegal Sari? (The Link). The rates should be around USD40 to USD50. Thanks in advance.

http://www.tegalsari-ubud.com/regular/index.php (recommend WOODEN room type,plz book in advance)
http://www.greenfieldubud.com/ (recommend BALE SUKAT BALI type room)

The Wooden room for Tegal Sari is fully booked, only Deluxe are available, should i take that? Or should I take Bale Sukat Bali from Greenfield?

ooohhh...WOODEN type room in tegal sari is very popular
i plan stay at 30th novem...now book dah full ad.....damn...

bale sukat bali has few rooms (choose 1st or 2nd floor)....my fren stay there before...not bad...they offer free transport around ubud area....

Jus got to know from my colleague that Dewi Seri Cottage is haunted and he checked-out from the place at 3 sumthing in the morning. He just came back from Bali only.

Do you guys know where is it?

here you are:

mind to share the full stories of your colleague?
Going to Bali again this Friday, staying at Ramayana

Ramayana ...last time i stay beside Ramayana .... close to Kuta Beach and a few minute walk to Hard Rock ... nice nice ..!!!

I stayed at Dewi Sri..didnt know it was haunted. not very clean in my opinion. Care to share the story?? So I dont recommend it. Btw, 3am is the time most ppl return. Clubbing area nearby.

Well, he told me that his gf felt "someone" blowing her ear. Then, she woke him up and they heard running tap in the bathroom. But when he went in and checked, the tap is not turned on. Later, there are some noise in the bathroom again, but there's nothing in there after he checked. Both of them dun feel comfortable and they checked out of the hotel immediately.

Hi hi ppl.. am going to Bali next month..

Here's my "ideal" itinerary. You may input if i can squeeze in few more places here n there cos i'm not sure if my plan is workable..

Day 1
Arrive & Check in @ HRH, Kuta.
Leave hotel around 4pm to Tanah Lot & Uluwatu

Day 2
Free & Easy @ Kuta (Beach/Spa)

Day 3
Day tour to : Sukawati/Tegalalang, Kintamani, Ubud & Bedugul

Day 4
Free & easy b4 going back to KL..

Does my plan looks ok? Will send out emails to hire driver..

Eh....Tanah Lot & Uluwatu located at diff place, one is at Northwest of Kuta & another far Soutwest...how to go on same time? ...U probably want to visit Uluwatu in the Morning (fanstatstic view...by sunset u can't see the blue ocean hi-cliff view....some said this view is much better than the Aussie one... .....Then to dreamland/geger or Bali Cliff beach for a real crystal clear water quality & also cuci mata on those 1/2 naked babes...Probably by 3PM u can start ur journey to Tanah Lot..reaching there by 4 or 4:30....Dun reach there after 5PM bcos Bali willbe dark by 5:30PM...& u can'st see anything at 6PM!

which one is better to go in the morning? Tanah Lot or Uluwatu?

Actually I prefer going there in the Morning (both) bcos sun is facing West from East & since both located on the west side (Althouth 1 South & 1 North)....u will get the best of the best. If Evening..u can't focus on your face and sunset....lansung tak nampak!...but lotsa of torism websites preferred going near sunset at Tanah Lot..Yes very good scenery..but unless u have a SLR hi-end camera to capture the sunset view....

errr'..dont quite understand bout that.... monsoon season related to all these photos?

The responder probably accidentally click last post to post his nice photos for sharing, Was wondering whether u use the google function to seach for "Bali weather"

This is one of many websites mentioning Bali's weather:

Hey there helpful ppl..

Say if i want to take taxi (bluebird) from Kuta to Ubud, approx how much will it cost? cos i dowan to kena slaughter.. hehehe.. Kuta to Ubud is about 1hr 30mins drive right?

The taxi fare will not be cheap! imagine my fare from Seminyak to Airport using bluebird costing me Rp55,000 for a distance of about 10KM. If Ubud probably around 2.5times! or about Rp150K....better u rent a driver or rent a jimmy to go there....
