- I will give you the many drawbacks of traveling to Bali that you rarely see on youtube. Bali is a beautiful place but has a lot of things that we saw as problematic. We hope this will help you prepare for your trip to Bali.

Man next time you go to the Netherlands, you will whine about the cold winter, or being grumpy about the heat in Saudi Arabia. Educate yourself first before travelling to a new place. If you go to a tropical island then expect you gotta experience the weather unique to a tropical place. Going to Antartica, beware of the freezing temperature. Every place will be a terrible place with that kind of mindset of yours.
These two are dumb ass Gen Z!
Agree. Entitled person.
Exactly
I disagree. Different cultures deal with the same circumstances in different ways. It's hard to know how you will feel somewhere unless you go yourself. Bali is definitely no where near my idea of paradise and I would not be sad never to return, but I wouldn't have known that from research. It's hot in Singapore too but they have overhangs and plants that give you shade.

I've been to Bali several times and always loved it. One complaint of mine has always been lack of public transportation. Drivers are so nice and plentiful, but in a way, I'm used to relying on some sort of public transportation rather than hiring a driver. I've never been on a scooter alone, so I never rented one of those. Besides having to plan how to get around, I loved everything else and Bali is one of my most favorite places in the world. In terms of food, I've never had an issue. Not sure if it's because I'm vegan or my iron stomach, but my stomach did not hurt once when I visited Bali.
You come across as a very privileged Western traveler--it seems like you thought you were going to Tahiti to stay in a $1000/night overwater bungalow. Having been to Bali numerous times, and currently in Nusa Dua and heading to Ubud soon, my impression is that your expectations are not in line with reality. Bali has issues that any underdeveloped country experiencing tremendous growth would have. But the land is beautiful, the people are incredibly welcoming and friendly (and just trying to make a living), and despite increases in costs over the years, the value is still amazing. A delicious dinner with drinks for 5 people was $70, and a 90 minute couples massage in a nice spa was $35. I've never had "Bali Belly" but we always bring basics meds just in case. We recently went to Hawaii--also beautiful--but also terrible traffic and, oh my, a bug was in our 4-star hotel room, and a mediocre dinner cost us $200.
Was about to say the say the same! Silly ass Gen Z who never left their backyard complain about trivial shit! So stupid!
You have No idea what you are talking about. @@jadequeen6714
I'm glad you love Bali and have mostly good experiences. That wasn't mine. It kills me when people get upset when you have a different experience and point of view from their own.
definitely true, if I stay in a 4-star I wouldn't complain. I stayed at 4-star in sidemen and at a 5-star in nusa dua, both does not have bugs problem nor any of the problem he stated.
professional complainer, you must be so fun to hang around
I am you should face me and find out.
@@Blasianfamilytravel indonesian so wouldn't dare - I meet them everyday and they act like I just jumped off a plane, when I know every dirty trick they have. the funniest and most ridiculous part is all the hard 'men' here who think that we are some kind of soft touch - this quickly becomes their first experience or f around and find out. I resent it a lot - I was brought up to respect and be courteous to foreigners and visitors - unlike here. I never experienced being treated like that as a visitor ANYWHERE else in the world.
6 days in a foreign country is nowhere near long enough to make such sweeping statements, although I respect your opinions. I have been to Bali 6 times and stayed in Sanur, Lembongan Island, Ubud, Candidasa, Amed, Lovina, Pemuteran, Medewi and Munduk. I always avoid Seminyak, Legian and particularly Canggu as the traffic is horrendous (as you rightly point out). You need to get out and explore, west, north, east, Bali although small in area size has an amazing amount of wonderful places. As for the critters, Bali belly and the weather.....wow, just wow. Safe travels
As an Indonesian, I appreciate your honesty and I can't blame travellers from first world countries to dislike Bali. It is understandable because Bali is a tropical Island of a third world country. As a matter of fact, I hope other people can learn about tolerance and understanding before coming to some tropical South East Asian countries. Bali is not for anyone, Bali is for people who can live well with the nature in a third world country. Lower expectation is a key to travel to Bali and choose places that suit your lifestyle while wandering Bali island. Safe travel, stay humble and stay healthy. Cheers.
Thank you. Bali is a beautiful country just has some challenges.
Bali is not a country, that's the problem bro. You think you going to Maldives or Palma de Mallorca. You need to set your expectations right coming from a first world country such as USA. Indonesia is mostly a third world country@@Blasianfamilytravel
I agree with you but there is only ONE World, I think it's better to say "developing countries" and "highly developed countries" . "Third World" sounds so wrong - to me. This is a suggestion. I love Bali because of its people and i like that it has so much variety and options like smaller islands not far away and such a high level of human Service, in europe you cannot order a Massage therapist from an app or somebody going shopping for you anywhere only by an App.
I find it so interesting that people who love Bali can't hear any negative comments about it. Every place has downsides, but they are unique to that place. I would not have expected the collection of bad sides to Bali based on any research I did in advance. I appreciate this info. I agree, I wouldn't be excited to come back.
Thanks. People sometimes can’t take negative criticism or opinions.
Thank you for speaking up. It takes courage with all the haters here. I appreciate you giving us a realistic picture of the goods, the bad and the uglies. There are other SEA countries that you can enjoy including their foods, great hospitality, arts and culture. Cheers 👍🏽
Thank you. My intention was just to inform people on reality so they will not encounter any surprises.
sounds like this is the first time the dude in SEA.... Thats all first world problem, buddy
Just be careful with scammers. Arriving at the airport, you will be escorted by a van driver who doesn't care even if you refuse. He makes sure you don't use grab or uber like Europe and if you are stubborn you will be forced to walk 2 kilometers from the airport. The same goes for tourist spots that are monopolized by taxi drivers. Similarly, tourist hotspots are monopolized by taxi drivers. You are not allowed to order a grab and if you do, the cost is many times higher than the price of a grab ride. Third when changing money at the money charger. In some places he will pretend to count a part and leave it to you to count it again. After you count, he will give you another part and he also recalculates the first change. At this point you wouldn't have guessed when he counted for the second time he would quickly put a few pieces into his drawer. Third, when you want to eat at a restaurant, you should ask the price first. Because after eating you will regret when he charges ridiculous prices, even more expensive than eating in a five-star hotel.
Just my opinion, next video let your partner take part,am in bali an use a moped to move around. I love ubud. I think your not the easiest person to please.
Bali has lots of lizards , they are geckos and frogs wildlife etc this is natural , lm not sure what you expected they don’t hurt you but yes in bali
Thank you for the realistic video. I know that your goal was to educate others, so that they would have real expectations. Beacuse instagram and youtube videos are sometimes unreal. Thank you 👌.
Your welcome
8:05 its called Gecko , not Lizart. At night will make special sounds...geccko...geccko....its natural.
And they eat all the flies and mosquitos. Get ready for snakes - yet again they eat all mice and other vermin.
"we're from New York city". Enough said.
LOL
😂
Haha Hilarious. I guess that was a joke?
I just left Bali and I loved it. The traffic is TERRIBLE though especially in Canggu. I never gotten Bali belly because I bought traveler pills and that helped. Never gotten sick from eating the food or swimming in the water. I don't like how they don't sell tampons. Next time I go im gonna use the scooters and not rely on the cars. Other than that my 1 week stay was fun and i'll do it again but be better prepared.
Safe travels next time.
Hello , I am victor from Perth. I have been to bali about 5 times. Twice i got scammed, but being with an Indonesian girl who was my guide. She spoke to the guy who was exchanging the money and said if you do not give the right money. I am going to call the Cops. I have been to Thailand about 12 times. I will be going again in 2024. To me it is very close to my heart. I like Phuket and Koh Samui. I also love my fishing, which I do and give my catch to the locals. If you haven't been there, you will love the Islands. The food is very cheap.
Hey Nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about you getting scammed. I have been to Thailand twice and prefer to visit there instead as well.
I really admire your honesty and going against the tide, most travelers will only paint Bali as this unforgottable place.
I definitely do NOT want any bugs in my hotel. But with traffic, you have to learn that in most countries, traffic is terrible, you feel it more when you`re the one driving.
Issue with Vacation stomach, this happens in so many places, I think you just have to avoid any ice, and make sure you let the waiter know when you`re ordering not to put any ice in your drinks.
I`m really lookiing forward to future videos and to enjoy your adventures thru your lenses
Thanks a lot for the nice and warm comment. We have some good things coming up.
Traffic and rubbish I understand but the 'critters' and 'early nights'.... Same as going to NY and complaining about the huge buildings and sirens.
Yes, Bali has non-stop traffic at zebra crossings, pavements blocked by bricks and sand, no shuttle buses, hotel drivers who rely on us for GPS directions; and can be compared to other islands visited! To be hilarious, 'Wake me up before you go go'.
BALI RULE #1 = bottled water and bintangs only
It s good and usefull to know the negatives of a country even if it bothers some people
Much more usefull before travelling than those colored perfect dream life of tourist video.
Thank you. I agree. For some reason if you go against the grain it’s a huge problem for some.
Wow this is not intirely accurate , l have had bali belly in Vietnam never in bali , not a correct review on bali
I appreciate your candor. I'm trying to decide if Bali is a place I wanna visit. Some of us go on holiday to have low stress, enjoyable experiences. I deal with enough crazy traffic in the city I live. Why torture myself with more of what I get at home when I'm on holiday. I watch a lot of TH-cam vlogs before I travel to a destination. I listen to the good and bad and make my decision according to what I know I can tolerate. Even ppl who rave about Bali consistently say the traffic is dreadful. To each their own. #keepitreal.
Thank you for that comment. Don’t get me wrong Bali has a lot of challenges but when we ended the trip in Nusa Dua it was a completely different experience. We stayed at the Sofitel and just relaxed there for the last few days.
actually Bali caters to all budgets and levels of relaxation/adventure. If you prefer to have a carefree, clean, organized holiday, then book at a resort at Nusa Dua area, or Sanur for that matter. Of course, the price is very different from the AirB&B's around Canggu. Or you can go to East Bali for small boutique resorts at Amed or Tulamben. But for budget travellers, I agree you need to be more careful on where you buy you lunch, and about riding the scooters.
Bali road generally is villages road..nog metropolis road that design to accept millions tourists..iv dknt want congestion , go to area with very less tourist. Bali jungle is real, not artificial.. so the animal, the bugs, etc is real..😅
Yeah. Do your research before visiting. Bali is beautiful and im glad to visit but not what i expected. And yes overpopulated they definitely need to cramp down on some of the tourism and focus on preserving their culture and land. It would be good to fix the plumbing in areas. For such a popular tourist destination i think this would be a beneficial step towards helping the natives and visitors alike. Next would be adding some roundabouts and sidewalks enforced by the law so scooters don’t drive up on them. It is very difficult to walk in bali which is a shame because you get the mix of beautiful nature and a wave of petrol.
Stomach problems just amplified everything including the ability to blow off inconveniences. Trying to do everything in seven days while being sick is just not possible. Kind of reminds me of a trip I went on in high school where we visited 6 European countries in three weeks. Don't do it...on the bus every other day for six hours for three weeks plus whatever problems arise is a pain in the arse. Extreme time constraints just aint worth it to me anymore. LOL!
You should have gone to Malaysia instead
It's called doing your reserach. You should NOT bash a place only after spending 6 days there. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER! Can your wife/girlfriend talk?
Exactly! What stupid idiotttsszzz 🙈🙈🙈
Her laughing at his frogs and gecko, scaredy cat, trauma stories said it all for me 😅
Exactly! 6 days visit doesn't do enough justice, right? lol
Keyboard warrior lades and gentlemen@@jadequeen6714
you are in too many comments get a life dude. @@srikandiwarion1422
well...sometimes the truth hurts...dude is just relating their experience...does not sound like fun to me...
Check out Seychelles 🇸🇨
It’s definitely on our list of places to travel.
Your sounds is off 🤦🤦 Do not film next to running water without microphone 🎤🚫🙈
Thanks for sharing your experience but why didnt your partner talk in your video or at least smile god bless
Haha she’s very camera shy. Work in Progress.
I was waiting for the whole 14min for your misus' opinion 😄
yeah.. i'm sorry to say that it is first world problem.
However , we really appreciate your video in giving advice of what are the down side of Bali .
whenever we travel, we all have to research the negative experiences, so we can take precautions.
Those are not the worse.
Scammers could be another issue, anytime you visit a 3rd world country.
Dengue fever is also very dangerous disease every time you visit south east asia, even north of Australia.
Put on the mosquito repellent at all times.
If you ever have a fever, go to the hospital right away without delay.
don't leave hospital until you are completely well. (7-10days) Ask for your blood test and see if your thrombocyte has gone up to above 100,000
Always eat Hot food piping hot, to avoid Bali belly.
Eat fruits freshly peeled. Not the one that has been cut and sitting in room temperature for a long time.
I usually ask my doctor to prescribe me an antibiotic, just incase i got Bali belly.
Pharmacies around Bali also are always ready for all sort of ailment for Bali belly.
from anti tummy ache to diarrhoea, even antibiotics.
Stay Safe..
Thats what we call experience advise for dont go anywhere if you don't want to experience life.greetings fromFiji vinaka.
For me, I like frogs 🐸 & lizards 🦎 are cool to see and snails 🐌!! In the tropics.
Hope you are feeling better from the Bali belly. It’s best to stay away from eating animals there -
Than you. I’m much better now. 😅
Going to thailand is the best.
What was the beach resort you stayed at?
Hey here is the link where I do a hotel walkthrough and room tour.
th-cam.com/video/etB3NHEddXs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info! Definitely makes me think differently about my trip in June.
Absolutely, glad this video was helpful!
Bali is, presently, too commercialised, too touristy. Balinese people and tour operators commodified their rituals and ceremonies to attract more tourist. This means the culture is commercialised for economic purposes.
Yes. Agreed. It's sad.
Bali is horrible...you forgot the locals constant harassing people and often being rude, the drunks, the horrendous state of the beaches, the cleanliness in general...unfortunately the “instagrammers” are continuously selling a lie, the sheep move in herds, hence you see them all queuing up for the same tacky photo, the WORST part is the fact the locals treat their own country like trash, we even ran away to nusa penida hoping it would be cleaner, sadly we saw old tyres in the clear water? And don’t get me started on how they treat animals...I’m glad you’ve spoke up and painted a realist image, it’s a huge dustbin
Then make sure you never go to Bali again, because you are not needed nor welcome in Bali! For someone who speaks so derogatorily about Bali, DON'T YOU EVER SET YOUR FOOT IN BALI AGAIN!
I hear that.
Remember not all people in Bali are local Balinese, local indigenous Balinese people are nicer and certainly don't abuse animals since they are generally hindus and bhudists. A lot of people are coming from different part of Indonesia like Javanese. In particular West Javanese people who don't like dogs very much and many of them are not kind towards animals in general.
I wont so get lost. @@jadequeen6714
Dude, you're not in the USA ... It's Indonesia ... Bali is a tourist hell hole to be honest ... been there piles of times over the years ... Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole based on the end to end inauthentic experience ... Jammed with "digital nomads", "influencers" and scammers .... If you want to see real Indonesia there are 10 - 15,000 other islands where you can see the real deal ...
Food sanitation is something tourists shouldn't have to worry about if the locals GAF. Lizards? Big deal as long as its not a Komodo dragon. Bugs yuck. Tropics makes every minor cut a possible danger.
Probably should stay at a western friendly resort …eating & drinking offsite of resort is a no no 🤷♂️ “experiencing a foreign country to its fullest” comes with a cost 🤷♂️
Baby
Loser!
This dude is such an inexperienced traveler. He has NFI about Bali. Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Denpasar, and surrounding areas are infested with tourists and traffic. It's akin to going to New York City and complaining about the traffic. Beaches around Kuta look like a mud plane and are polluted. Nusa Dua has nice beaches but it's boring - no action, fewer restaurants/eateries and catered for families. Jimbaran is located southeast of Kuta. It's famous for nice beaches, great seafood and away from the traffic and tourists. When I visit Bali, I only stay in these areas for a few nights. If you want to experience beautiful beaches like the Maldives or Hvar (Croatia)... away from traffic and tourists, get on a boat and visit the neighboring islands like Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida.
Definetly not an inexperience traveler and no one asked for your super long comment. Find something better to do with your time.
Most likely a Gecko which eat all the mosquitoes & bugs.
I agree with bad traffic, but it happens in every big cities and Bali is flooded by many tourists
Another way to word that would be that Bali courts tourists because 80% of their income is derived from them and since they desperately need tourists they could invest in infrastructure that supports hosting them.
Well you two did not do any homework did you, if I saw a photo of a wooden chalet accommodation and lots of vegetation I would expect a few creatures to visit. I'm from Australia and I can assure you the Aussies visit Bali regularly, we also know when the rainy season is, obviously you did not check that, you should also have checked the areas where building work is going on, we have no trouble catching a cab at any time in Bali, there are quality hotels in Bali where Im sure you could not afford to stay in if they were in America, if you are careful where you eat and you wont get Bali belly, been going there from Australia there for over 30 years and never got it, also you cannot do everything in 6 days, Bali is a wonderful place where people dont run around shooting other people like in America, quite why anyone would to go to America and feel safe I cannot imagine so bon voyage back to the states and hopefully never come back.
Not sure why you are bringing up safety in America especially when the history of Australia derives from criminals being shipped there from the UK.
Go with the flow mate
Yes you right its pitty Bali have frog and lizard but in USA you have eligator Im scare too 😂😂😂
Blink twice and rub your nose if you need help
Look at the camera when you speak. You spent the majority of the time looking away and not engaging with the audience. Additionally, if you have someone other than yourself for the entire video, they should have an active part in it. Lastly, try changing the way you were recording audio on those Rode Wireless Go II's so that it quits switching between the left and the right channel, and a quieter place or at least a spot that doesn't have background audio that makes you want to goto the bathroom every few minutes. (aka no running water).
Grumpy
Thanks, my fellow PASSPORT BRO member for the heads up about BALI SUCKS in ASIA.
If you are going to travel outside of North America, You will have to deal with the same thing on most of the Countries....
You should done your research on what comes with a tropical destination. I think Manhattan best for you.
So basic....
Meh
Balik sono, ga butuh turis yg bisanya ngeluh tnpa pandang bulu.
I wish I knew what you were saying.
Normal people dont post these lengthy dislike videos on TH-cam. Keep your negativity and put it in a comment section.
Normal people don’t make stupid comments. I will post what I want on my page.
Don't worry dear, Bali also doesn't need you both...
No one asked you dear!
Traffic is part of our tourism lol just take it and enjoy it don't be childish and butt hurt. ... just chill stay in ur grandma backyard next time!!
Didn’t ask you for your advice!
Stay home
Get a life!
Useful video. Thank you!
FYI homey, traffic in most of all of south east Asia is bad. Most of the rural areas have no stop signs or traffic lights. The rule of thumb is called "pabigayan" means give and take. You sound soft dude and like a nube that's not comfortable without a Starbucks or a McDonald's around. But atleast your experiencing other countries and cultures not just around your block. I personally enjoyed my experience in Bali and would return.
thank you . stay away from Bali
I will!
Had to call security on a frog 🐸😂? where do we even begin..¿
Words can't express how stupid these two are!😆😆😆
And to top it off the staff caught the frog in Balinese dresses lol. he needs to man up.
@@jadequeen6714 words cant express stupid your comment is. Get a life.
Sorry, I don't want frogs in 4-star resort idiot.
Sounds like you didn't do proper homework before arriving in Bali - TH-cam videos often are limited in scope; and, depending on the content creator may lean towards ideal, not truthful, conditions on the ground. Having lived in Bali for the better part of a year, there's no question that it's a developing country with what is arguably some of the worst traffic on the planet. It's an equatorial (equal hours of day and night) tropical climate with geckos and frogs. And yes, upper elevation jungles (Ubud) are green due to some degree of persistent rain.
Sorry to hear of your experience in Bali.
Been many times and have so far 🤞not had Bali belly. I’ve heard it’s not nice.
Yes the traffic is bad in some places, but you should try Jakarta. Makes Bali driving look easy. You’re right, if you’re not confident then hire a driver or use Grab scooters.
Insects and critters, mmm, Ubud, you’re in the jungle area and in the tropics, what did you expect? We’ve once had a snake in our hotel as it was in the padi field area. Little reptiles and frogs, etc are pretty normal things to see.
It goes dark at around 6pm, yes, as it does anywhere near the equator the world over.
It has two seasons, dry and wet. Again, as does anywhere near the equator, and when it rains, it really rains. Yep, like anywhere in the tropics.
Maybe your expectations were a little bit unrealistic for a jungle island in the tropics.
Next time maybe a city holiday in a hotel built of concrete might suit you better 🤔 but I hope your experience will inform others of what to expect in such a place.
In Jakarta it is more dangerous to eat street food. Because most of the sellers come from slums and half of them live under bridges without clean water facilities and irregular excrement disposal.

What is wrong with people from the so called 1st world?
He's a liberal. He's supposed to whine & complain about everything
@@TheAmericanPlug and you are a conservative and supposed to make stupid comments.
Nothing idiot. People have opinions.
By the way the geckos eat the mosquitos 😂😂😂
Drama Queen!
Loser!
😂
No, sorry. Thumbs down. This is a mix of common sense and what shouldn't be a surprise with a quick Google search. I genuinely appreciate TH-camrs sharing their insights about places I haven't yet visit but I don't like it when they seemingly do videos for clicks. Every place in the world has some wonders and annoyances. Anyone bothered by this shouldn't travel. I really hope you enjoyed your time in Bali.
Should I google animals in my vila? Shut up dude and get out of the comments.
I really love these honest type of videos. There’s this facade of perfection on social media and w travel influencers-that I welcome any kind of realness when I can get it. People are entitled to their preferences 🤷♀️ no big deal
Thank you. I agree.
Next, as a response, Bali should do 7 negative things about this guy and other influencers who come to Bali. I am curious all of their negatives.
Gee wiz you come from New York with congested traffic surely you know about traffic, just ask Harry and Meghan about traffic. It seems it doesn’t matter where you are you will be whining, please stay at home next time with Trump and the Kardashians. You don’t take antibiotics for diarrhea 🙄 you should have brought “ Incase of “ illness medication. Insects are normal in tropical places, get a life and read before you go on vocation. What an American baby you are…. 🤬
I always check the facts before traveling to any country. For places like Asia, there’s several vegetables that you need to watch out for (i.e. bean sprouts which used water to germinate, and you don’t know how clean the water was. I would not eat it whether fresh or cooked.) Stay away from uncooked vegetables. Ice is another thing to avoid because the water used to make the ice may not be clean or purified. I would brush my teeth with bottle water. I would take a quick shower; again because I don’t know how clean the water was. 😅
Tourists should not drive in Bali because it’s hard and there are different norms. On a bike it’s super dangerous and in a car most people don’t know what they are doing or where they are going.
- Critters : you get what you paid for. You go back to nature and the nature welcomes you.
Thats the beauty of Bali..maybe not suitable 4 u..the lady besides you...poor thing...she no speak??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing your experience. I appreciate your candor. Too many people (including myself) post just the “good” parts of their trip. It’s helpful to see some of the more realistic experiences. I just watched another video showing the reality of a visit to Bali, and it appears the magnitude of tourism in the past decade has severely impacted Indonesia’s ability to manage the influx of people visiting Bali.
Don’t let the naysayers who 💩 all over your post discourage you. I appreciate the spirit of your post. ‘Hope you recovered quickly from Bali Belly.
Thank you I appreciate your comment. I expect people will always have something negative to say on social media. Yes I recovered in about a week or so. Definitely wasn’t a fun experience.
King of drama.. this dude is first time traveler.. spent his life saving to travel for a week and complaints about everything.. dude dont spend ypur money just to make you complaining 😁😁
Transportation is definitely my number one concern about visiting that part of the world. It seems that you are very much limited if you travel by car, and most will go the scooter/motorbike route. But having done some research on riding scooters and motorbikes and related statistics, there is just no denying that these vehicles are extremely, extremely dangerous. I just cannot justify the risk to life and limb that would come with getting around on one of those things, especially in a foreign country where people likely have a far more lax approach towards the rules of the road. What people forget is that you can be the most careful person in the world, but you're only ever as safe as the drivers and riders around you are willing to be.
I agree 100%
Very nice video. 🎉
Stay home go to waltdisney
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂

I think your observations are "correct" in that they're yours, but I'm puzzled that these would be reasons to stay away and surprised that these aren't things that you would have learned about via some mild research and common sense. There are lots of areas in Asia that have horrendous traffic and I would be surprised that Bali's location meant that there were lots of narrow roads. Second, if you aren't used to the "local bacteria," so to speak, you can get sick from food borne illnesses in any part of the world. The fact that you didn't recover in two days, I mean, that's not really Bali's fault, is it? :-) The fact that your stomach is "strong" just means that you finally met your match (but not necessarily a reason to avoid). Mosquito bites? Did you wear repellent? I've never been to Bali but from the photos I would have for sure brought along insect repellent. I don't know the construction quality of your hotel but, look, if it's not at a certain price level then you're going to interact more with local critters. As for the rains, well, I mean, it's the weather! Weather is going to do what it do so I can't really see that as a reason to avoid. Expectations influence our experience of things and Bali didn't meet yours -- and that's fine b/c those are your expectations.
Terrible why can't the govt built bali properly to have tourists work n live there comfortably or retirement .
So sorry you feel that way. I have been there many many times. Yes things have changed but most of the bad changes are due to the tourists and their unresponsible actions, besides you should be hiring local people to take you around. It's a good way to support their economy and beautiful culture. They are very good drivers and very knowledgable about their island, and they are very proud of it and love sharing it with others. I have had Bali Belly many places around the world but funnily never in Bali and we only eat at the small warungs and food stalls along side the roads. I feel it's a hit or miss wherever you are. As for the hotels, Bali is a tropical island, along with that you get the open hotels and spaces and along with that you get the bugs and critters. I do think maybe you should research your next place you are going to visit. They are all different. Oh right Bali can control the rain and climate. The rain is unlike New York where it's cold. Rain in Bali is usually short and you never are cold. I guess it's not for everyone and for that I'm quite happy.
if you don't want traffic jams then you can go to the neighboring island of Bali, namely the Indonesian island of Lombok
Nice. Thanks for the tip.
Have you been vaccinated against covid? because I hear a lot of people complaining these days of being sick on vacation and also extremely long. I also know someone that ended up having to be hospitalized their whole vacation. Could be the jab! Be careful and take care!
Yes we both were vaccinated. Thank you.
Nice to meet you my friend. i am going tomorrow to Carousel in Perth to book my ticket to Thailand Koh Samui. That place is very close to my heart.
Awesome. Hope you enjoy.
No where is perfect! Take them as an experience🤝🎉Life is experience😉

It’s very scare to drive in Asia country.....
Yes, very different than the US

Sorry for your disappointment. First time watching you, cannot help to suggest you may want do more research and OPEN your mind and heart. Your not in Kansas anymore!
Bali is definitely not a place for Karen
😅🤣😂🤣
Hahaha you are hilarious. Get off the comments loser!
I’ve traveled in over 50 countries of which many in Latin America and Asia …..unfortunately Bali by far has been the worst travel experience ever…..😂….coming back to our place in Thailand, that felt like heaven on earth. Bali …definitely, for us, never again.
Yes, Bali belly really ruined part of our trip. I prefer Thailand. I never been sick there before.
Thank You for confirming that.
