ohhh that one u need to double confirm in the immigration website.

going for short get-away in June ! staying in Junjungan Ubud. Hope its nice, read that they provide shuttle bus to Ubud.

Am going to dinner at Swept Away at The Samaya Bali. nice place?

Wow, I went there last Feb it costed IR150k per head. But, better prepare for extra money b4 u arrived at the Bali airport to go home....

I just got back this morning. Yes, it's 200K/pax ... I only reserved 300K for two pax but luckily I have extra 50K. So the remaining 50K paid in MYR ..

They increased the tax from end of March 2014.

ok thank for the info.Do you have any suggestion where to eat seafood in jimbaran, reasonable price.

not that hard bro..just find nasi padang or any fast food...all fast food is halal

I went to Lia's Cafe .. affordable, good service and good food.
Make sure to arrive before 5pm to get a good seat. First row seat normally reserved for hotel patrons nearby unless u called up and make reservation. I was lucky that I was able to get second row seats even without reservation and just able to watch the sun set with my wife. Took the Package 1 from menu cost around 250K which includes prawns, clams, 1/2kg grilled fish, squids, a plate of vege, 2 coconuts drinks and dessert which is more than enuff for us.

PS: add 10% tax so it's 275K nett. Tripadvisor recommended too

Just spent the weekend in Bali, was really great. At Nusa Dua there is probably the best Nasi Campur Babi Guling in Bali -> Pak Dobiel

All taxi drivers seem to know where it is... even though its in a run down shack

Found this place called Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Ibu Mangku over at Ubud. Cheap and nice. It's some sort like nasi dagang/campur. Has it's own restaurant but surprisingly no fan inside but quite windy at some point.

Another affordable place would be Bamboo Corner over at Legian. All sort of food from seafood, western to locals. Had their nasi ayam penyet. cheap and nice. lotsa backpackers and as usual tripadvisor approved.

I went to Sebatu Agro Tour which one of the forumer recommended.
It's really nice and near to Tagalang Rice Terrace .. Good view and the staffs are friendly and don't force u to buy anything. Got a tour of how they produce the luwak n the main attraction luwak himself being feed by me. haha~

650K a bit too pricey for my trip.
The most expensive dinner we had was 395K over at Maliboro Ayam Lunak on the first night.
We had two chickens, one steam fish, belacan vege, taufu and two drinks .. super full ..

Copy & Pasta from: 54 Rekomendasi Tempat Makan di Bali

omg kena poison oredi this time must plan Bali as my next trip instead of Vietnam

Do infant subject to this tax too? Traveling with my 8 month old kid this june

I think only applies to those with own passport.
Don't think they charge on infant
But to be sure, just spare another 200K

Thanks bro.I will be going with my waifu and 3 kids, 2 girls age 10 and 6 and my 8 month old boy. Will be staying at 2 different hotel in Nusa dua.

But I havent got the idea or plan for the trip yet, as this was consider a birthday treat to my 6 and 10 years old kids..would like to plan the maximum fun for my kids..me and my wife no problem (we can plan out own honeymoon trip next time ) Important thing is the kidos will have a fun trip. Anybody can suggest good place/activity for us? I can only think of Waterbom, but need more. Will be staying for 5 days ..sunday-thursday.

Please help

Just coming back from my 5 days trip to Bali. Very relaxing trip. engage our supir Arief for bringing us around there. Overall very satisfied with his service, he will advise you the do's and don't's before you go to any attraction places there. I recommend him if you want to have your trip there with a peace mind.

Places that wow me:
Uluwatu
Tanah Lot
Ulu Danau Bratan
Bebek Tepi Sawah
Tegal Sari
Kintamani (View only)
Jimbaran Bay Dinner (Very very romantic place, do go there early for the sunset)

Place that I feel can be skipped:
Taman Ayun Temple

Recommended makan-makan:
Bebek Betutu @ Bebek Tepi Sawah
Naughty Nuri's Pork Ribs
Jimbaran Bay Lia Cafe

PS: I find Air-asia's Pak Nasser's nasi lemak very gooding too

note:
Sukawati has the cheapest stuff. whatever price they offered, just slash like 60% or more depending on your budget. i got myself a big oil painting for less than 400K when they offered me 900K in the beginning .. js to show how much u can bargain.

Besakih Temple is the oldest and quite far from town (2hrs) so you won't miss much if you skip this since the ppl there not that friendly as compared to other temples. they will force u to "rent" their sarong no matter how you wear unless u got a sarong yourself (10K). somebody will forcefully ask u to engaged a tour guide which u can strongly reject and he will again asked for donation which you can say NO again. js go in n don't speak to anyone.

Lia's cafe, make sure u make reservation to have first row seats which they reserve. i managed to get second row cause i walked in n right before sunset. lucky me .. for two pax can order their 250K package which include fish, prawns, squids, clams, vege, coconuts etc.

Airport tax been increased to 200K/person since end of Apr 2014. So take note to save money or worst case like me you can pay in RM cash ... conversion rate is really good, better than money changer over there.

Just back from Bali. Nice trip with Mr Arief as my driver. Recommended
