Will be going to Bali next Wednesday for 4D3N.
Gonna be just a chilled/ sunset watching trip with just 2 half day trips.

1st day,
GWK, Uluwatu sunset and dinner @ Jimbaran.

2nd, day,
Tanah Lot sunset and dinner.

Can some sifus recommend me what to eat for dinner after tanah lot?

Will be staying @ Tune Legian as stated above.

Thanks!

I think no specific place to makan around tanah lot. If u can travel to ubud. I recommend to try naughty nuri ribs.

hi..can u help me buy some stuff (pins) at Hard Rock Cafe/Hotel Bali? will send money to you first
thank you in adavance

If only it wasn't so damn far
oh well, I guess I can settle with the other branch in Kuta though heard it's not as good as Ubud.
thx!

Anyone can recommend something to eat for lunch otw to GWK + Uluwatu from Legian?

Are there still official exit taxes at the airport? surprise Customs fees or bakshish? I will have only carry on for Air Asia.

My travelling partner is non-Asean, so needs the US$25 visa on arrival. Is it worth getting a visa in KL to avoid the long Q ?

I like traditional, old stonework and those multi-roofed temples. What is not too difficult to get to from Seminyak? I want to chill, not get stressed bargaining with drivers on long road trips. Anything similar to Taman Ayun Mengwi but nearer? Is Tirta Empul spring easy to get to?

Thanks to all the contributors for great postings and photos.

PS: Still doing my homework. Mengwi is not too far but looks like Petitenget Temple is good enough and nearby. Might save others for next trip. How is the situation for changing ringgit? Lots of information to skim from Amazon site free samples.

Again Google-Trip Advisor to the rescue. Ringgit exchange similar to Malaysian rates.

Im going to Bali for honeymoon on Nov. Will be staying at hard rock & aria villa. Can any one please pm arief contact ? thanks

Can pm me arief contact also? Thnx

may i know that where is the Warung Mayde located at

Jalan kuta raya. Just opposite of the junction of tune hotel.

I've got an evening flight back. Is there anywhere inside the airport to watch the sunset, like a rooftop garden or a restaurant with a view?

Answer to my own previous question from Wikitravel:

"When departing from Bali, you are subject to the airport departure tax which can be paid in cash in Indonesian Rupiah only, so save some bills for the trip out. The airport departure tax is Rp 150,000 for international departures and Rp 40,000 for domestic departures. Infants under 2 years of age are exempted from departure tax (but not Visa On Arrival).

Departing Bali to overseas destinations can be a fraught experience. Corruption is rife (the most corrupt airport in Indonesia by far) and immigration, customs and airport officials operate a large number of scams.........[described at length]"

Is it worth to visit GWK? anything special there?

imo its not worth it.

Even my driver said its waste of time.

Nope. the airport is very old and rundown lol..

They dont even have more than 10 chairs per Gate

Just came back from Bali. This was my second trip. Still love it a lot and would have no worries about going there a third time. This time I was the sole planner and I find that with a little research, you can actually save a lot in Bali. A little research goes a long way to reduce your travel cost. Lobsters for RM 33 ...omfg and manage to successfully propose to my sweetheart. How can I not love Bali ....

Congratulations to you and your wife!

Anyone know how about the rate of exchanging MYR to IDR in Bali? Or is it better to convert USD to IDR in Bali?

tune hotel legian having promo idr 100,000 per night. good deal for a budget traveler..

anyone been to Tukad Unda? worth to make a trip there? Seen some pictures, pretty nice with the kids playing water.

anyone will be in ubud end of august and interested to do mt batur sunrise trek? i'm interested to do the hike but i'm alone and the hotel quote me Rp.1.000.000 for 2 persons.

1. For me is not worth the hassle but depends on amount.

I suggest to use cimb withdrawal from ATM. Better exchange rate compared to change MYR there.

Furthermore u can read scams of money exchange in bali.
If use ATM withdrawal, can prevent carry lots of cash around. If you have cimb, just activate the international withdrawal b4 you go.

The money changer scam is not that serious. Just remember this: do not change at the non-branded changer. There are many businesses like selling t-shirts, souvenir and stuff that also do money exchange. Avoid them cause they are most likely to scam you. Go to those that are from large company that have many chains, where their staff have uniforms. Those are legit. This was informed to me by my local guide and tested by myself on the chain outlet.
