hey guys, im going bali soon on a 4days trip. how much roughly should i bring? flight and hotel already paid, just need to spend on food, sightseeing, some shopping and spa haha

nice sharing..thx..i will rent a bike too..but still have no idea where to go...hurmmm ..if using papago apps in iphone, do u think it will helpful? thx again

sorry for the late reply.
i am a biker,
hence it runs in my blood of "rent a bike, full tank and get lost".
just ensure you got the whole updated map in ur hand.
i tend to have strong memory of which road i follow and landmark.
(which is very crucial. when u go riding on the bike. dont 100% concentrate on the road, take ur time and check ur surrounding)

you have alot of time to do research.
if its the first time for u in bali.
i suggest u take the tour guide.

its my second time there,
also i do know some local bikers.
hence, if i really lost.
i can just give them a call and they can help me

im going bali again next month after 4years..
would like to ask ur recommandation..

Not sure how much, but its not very far from airport. Actually the best time for jimbaran dinner is around 6pm to 7pm, sunset time., if around 8pm its all pitch black.

Naughty Nuri’s Warung Pork Rib is a must go!







Apart from serving American and barbecue food, Naughty Nuri’s also serve local Indonesian food. For those who do not know, Naughty Nuri’s is famous for its unbelievably wicked, delicious and juicy pork ribs.



Verdict: This is the best place for rib lovers to go to in Bali. Food was good, service is friendly and environment is great for dining. I will definitely come back when I travel to Bali again.

I've just made a reservation for Tegal Sari. Would like to seek advise on making payment to Tegal Sari via TT

1) What are the additional bank charges that will be charged to me (for both the M'sian sending bank and the Indonesian recipient bank)?

2) It was mentioned that "You could transfer the payment in your currency and will be converted into Rupiah, therefore, due to foreign exchange discrepancy we may receive less or more. If we receive less, the balance could be paid at Tegal Sari.

Is it possible to remit IDR to them? So that at least I know what is the FOREX gain/loss on my side before remitting the money.

3) How long does it take for the recipient bank to receive the payment?

Thanks!

can someone share the contact for driver (hanief)? Thanks,.

Hey, been there but used CC instead and it's pretty fast and easy compared to transfer.

I remember they have CIMB bank account if i didnt mix up with other hotel. So if you have CIMB you can transfer to their CIMB without charge. It will reach them within 1 working day compared to TT which need 3 days.

I also remember that i transfer using IDR which require alot of information such as IC of the beneficiary etc etc.

CREDIT CARD (Visa and Master Card only) :
Kindly be informed if you pay by credit card an additional 1.8% charge from your total bill will be added, therefore, the amount we will charge to your card is at RpXXXXXX. If you prefer to have this method, please complete and signed the attached authorization form . Choice of fax it or scan then send via email back to us together with copy of the first page of your passport with photograph and passport no. to the following fax number : 62.361.970 701 for submission to our credit card merchants.

Pleased be informed that billing must be processed in Indonesian Rupiah by law and will be converted at the prevailing bank selling rate - IDR, Tegal Sari can not be held liable for the exchange rates.

The other alternative of securing the reservation is full prepaid which could be transferred to the following bank account:

BANK TRANSFER:
Name of the bank : CIMB NIAGA Bank Ubud Branch Office

Account Name : I Nyoman Gosih (please ensure the name is correct, not using Tegal Sari Accommodation)

Account number : 489-0100-797-182

SWIFT code : BNIAIDJA

Currency Account : Indonesian Rupiah ( IDR )

BANK ADDRESS : Jalan Raya Ubud No 392 Gianyar 80571

OR

Account Name : Tegal Sari Accommodation (please ensure the name is correct)
Bank Address : Jl. Raya Andong no.22-24, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali
Account number : 1045549559
SWIFT code : BICNIDJA
Currency Account : Indonesian Rupiah ( IDR )


Please note that any bank transfer fees or foreign exchange discrepancy are to be applied to your own account (please inform your bank that beneficiary receive full amount). If paying by bank transfer please email or fax a copy of your TT receipt to our fax number +62 361 970701 to confirm your booking. You could transfer the payment in your currency and will be converted into Rupiah, therefore, due to foreign exchange discrepancy we may receive less or more. If we receive less, the balance could be paid at Tegal Sari.

Hi all sifus,

Want to ask, does our local Maxis roams well in Bali? If someone sms or call my Maxis no. can I get the sms or call?

Thanks.

Maxis line roams very well in Bali, almost full coverage at all the tourist attractions I went to. You will be roaming on a local Indonesian telco line which Maxis is linked to (forgot which one).

So well in fact that I had to pay roaming charges for spam from Maxis .

Thanks for your reply SilverSurfer123.

Too bad on the spamming

can u pm me the driver's contact no
thanks

Thanks a lot for the info saimatkong & mugenz!

I've successfully made the payment via TT Don't think they still use the CIMB Bank account to receive payments from their guests. Transferred to their Bank Mandiri account instead. Funds transferred by the next working day. Was charged MYR10 by our local bank and IDR15,000(appox MYR 4.50) by the Indonesian bank

No doubt payment by credit card is more convenient, they required that I send a photocopy of my passport to them together with the credit card authorization form. Didn't feel comfortable sending my passport details to strangers

strange I only sent them the authorized form instead if I remember correctly I didn't send them my passport.
