if foreigners already feel Bali is getting more and more expensive, imagine what locals & domestic tourists feel 😅
haha yes 😂
yes
THIS!! I keep seeing similar videos of Portugal, Mexico, etc getting expensive for tourists, and my heart breaks for the locals being priced out of their homes. Nothing wrong with traveling to experience a place or culture, but I honestly hate this new culture where expats are moving to a place, buying up/building up properties and pricing locals out. 😔
Yeah! And it's rich that TH-camrs who profited making video promoting Bali/Canggu like the best/cheap place on earth are now complaining that there are too many people. They will soon move on to a new undeveloped place and contribute to fuck it up faster too
It two fold, locals sorely missed the income during covid. Tourism as an industry is a tricky beast but it can be better regulated.
You promoted the hell out of it and now you shocked 🤣😂🤣😂
As an Australian, Bali is/was a popular holiday destination for families especially for those that love the beach and are into surfing. Flights used to be so cheap, and you could stay at a 5 star resort for less than $80 a night. Now it's so expensive and unaffordable, and I wish I travelled more back in the days before Instagram, TH-cam, Facebook, Digital Nomads, Covid even existed.. that was the real Bali back then! :(
And before gullible overpaying Americans came along
Come to lombok,the price are more cheaper than $80/night at a 5 star resort🎉🎉
The beaches are more beautiful,.
@@aryafirmansyah5223 To get woken up every morning at 5am by ridiculously loud mosques?!! No Thanks lol
And now over run with rude disrespectful Russians. Us and the Indonesian government have had enough of them
Im sad now :( I wish I travelled when I was younger. Im 38 and havnt gone anywhere out of the country since I was 17. I still want to travel better do it while Im still in my late 30's before the world blows up.
So you guys basically made it difficult for the locals to afford to live in their own home? Good job guys. 👍🏻
Being negative for what?😂 Like if you had the money you wouldn’t stay in your hometown
The same is happening in European cities like Prague
Who do you think makes all the money they bring there?? Massages income tripled
Lol who you think owns the restaurants that are increasing the prices ?
@@stuartgriffiths305 exactly, they’re all rich af now
People like you changed it you put your money into a country and then youre surprised it changed. You constantly would show how bali is awesome then youre surprised that theyre are more tourist !
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆
100% wtf do u know about indo! Casual
I agree he can't use Bali as a platform to become wealthy then complain about it when people show up.
shot himself in the leg
He doesn't give a F. Earned money, lived in Bali caused it to become overly popular, then will move to another place and do the same...
Bottom line: When you find paradise, don't advertise it.
I lived there with an Indonesian scholarship in 2013-14 in Canggu, 500m from the beach, spent around 300$/month altogether for rent, phone, scooter, and eating out every day!!! (Never cooked at home), partying, clothes, yoga, dance, singing 3-4 times a week. Travels were extra. It was extremely cheap back then. I loved it! :)
You're a victim of your own success man. You've definitely helped to grow Bali. You're the main reason I plan to head there this winter. I appreciate all your vids
Agreed bout him, also please be be kind, and respectfull, and at least learn proper Indonesian language. don't just go here and take advantage the kindness and welcoming nature of our people and culture. cheap doesn't mean no dignity. that said, I hope you'll enjoy your time in Bali.
seeing Bali today is more and more foreign tourists who come and live in Bali (which is good), but I as Indonesian felt foreign in my own country 😅
Happens to everyone when they get old.
@mayafebrian try being Australian in Australia!!!
Or Canadian in Calgary I feel like I'm in Africa or Malaysia or central America. It's odd to feel like a minority in your own country. Hope people tell the Slavic vacationers to be kind or go home. Sounds like balis best days have come and gone as a secret place to enjoy culture nature and ethnic foods. Flight price reflect that. Oh well that happens when digital nomads wanna make living selling there vacation pictures.
To be honest you put your effort to promote this island for other people as well. So price increase and traffics and changes are the results of what you are doing as well.
He is only here to make money. He doesnt support the LOCALS economy. Giving your grab driver 50 cents is just cheap. Give him 50k.. it will buy him bensin or help his kids. He doesnt speak the language after 5 years which means he really cant communicate with anyone but his own kind..
100% true
My wife and I moved to Bali in 2019 and got to experience that nostaglic time you mentioned. It was amazing! Since then, we moved back to the States and now we have a 2 year old. We look forward to hopefully moving back in 5 years when these growing pains are a thing of the past. I would love to raise my daughter in a much more peaceful and welcoming place.
Nostalgic time? Are you serious? Wow.....4 years ago. STAY HOME PLEASE.
Fatherhood zone 👏👏👏 choosing the best for the ones we love ✌️💚🙏
The worst thing about Bali is more Americans are moving there.
This is what happens when sustainable tourism is not promoted and local governments do not put restrictions into what expacts can do in countries like this. As a Portuguese citizen I can say that the exact same thing is happening here. Food prices skyrocketed, rent prices are already among the highest in Europe, locals can't afford to live in the cities or downtowns anymore, local culture is slowly disappearing, portuguese language is not the main language that you hear when you're walking the streets, and many more examples that I could write here. Social media platforms and travel based influencers had a big slice of responsability on this. Everybody is constantly promoting a country because of its beauty, of its people and so on, but never talk about the sustainable ways that you could visit or even live in a foreign country without destroying its local economy and culture. The future path of countries like these is already written and we have some examples in prior locations that suffered a boom in tourism before. What happened to that places? Prices kept getting higher and higher that eventually it was not worth anymore to visit or live there, so a lot of hotels, villas, restaurants and other businesses were doomed to close and were just abandoned, transforming a place that was once known for its tourism into ghost towns.
Christian, I follow your work since 2016 and me and my girl love it but we can also affirm that if travel based influencers do not change the way they promote all these locations, every gem location in this planet will be destroyed in a matter of a few years. Governments won't do much because they will always seek for those fast tax returns, but they tend to forget that those tax returns won't last long.
If you are willing to make a change and create a more conscious approach to travel, me and my girl are willing to help you and who knows, be part of your amazing project and start a change in this industry before it is too late. I know you are conscious and an empathic guy that can not sleep well when problems like this one start to get very very serious, in fact, one of your major businesses might be in danger as well unfortunately.
I hope you can read my words and think about them 🙏
Do you know of any examples of places that have done sustainable tourism effectively?
@@thomasmanley428 Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. Been there, it's amazing
@@thomasmanley428 I believe Bhutan, Peru and Croatia have implemented some effective measures
There is nothing he can do individually.
@@kristinaszabariova5969 I guess we all have to start from somewhere...
Visiting Bali can be nice. Lived the for 5 years and honestly it was nothing like before...so I had to move out. Not just because prices were way higher but because it feels the island doesn't have the same magic. Of course if you go to places like Amed or Lovina you will be alone, but then everything around Canggu and the Bukit is western and for westerners. Gyms, yoga, spas, restaurants, clubs, partys, etc. Where is the culture? Where are the locals? Just working for us bules? It feels terrible. And of course I love to go to different restaurants every night, but when it's too much it's too much. Also the audacity of some people living there now...honestly. Rudeness, not following the rules, being nasty towards locals. It's unbelievable.
Found myself being more angry than happy because of those things 😕
Yeah that's become a huge issue lately among locals
Amed and Lovina are still beautiful, for anyone wanting to experience the natural beauty and culture they are good places to go.
Where did you move to after bali?
Agreed👍
Can definitely feel the difference after covid travel back to bali…. 😢 is getting expensive and somehow part of it didn’t looks like local friendly….
There has been a huge influx of moneyed expats into Bali the last few years, including yourself. In a few of your videos several months ago you covered your building of your hotel. If you get lots of expats investing lots of money and more and more people being drawn in by the hype then everything is going to cost more and continue to increase in cost. As long is there continues to be high demand like there currently is then supply vs demand will continue to push up costs.
You are really up there knowing what many people want to know in terms of content! Especially people like us who have visited in the past, didn't happen to visit since and know of the increase in demand for Bali in the last years and wish to have knowledge of how things are now! Mbravo, all the best again!!
Superb video Christian, Bali definitely has changed a lot but it still is a magical place with the most incredible people🥰 We'll continue to go back and with some luck, have a home there just like you one day 🙂
We were in Bali in 2019, and it was one of our best adventures. Thanks for the update!
🙏🏼
Interesting video - thanks for sharing. I've been visiting Bali since the early 1990s, visiting a few times a year. And yes it's changed a lot over time. I talk to my older friends who were visiting/ living there back in the late 60s and 70s, and they have some wild stories to tell - but still their experience was FAR DIFFERENT than anything I experienced, or that we experience today. Bali is an evolving place - change is inevitable. That said, I have a lot of local friends there and your very neutral tone of the change with Russian folks arriving is not how my local friends have expressed their feelings of the influx. They feel many of the new arrivals are arrogant and rude - treating them like servants or slaves. So a quick PSA: when visiting Bali - please be kind. Please be considerate. Please don't be rude and treat anyone poorly. You don't do any of us non-locals any favors by being a jerk. Thanks in advance for your consideration. 🙂
russians are the definition of rudness and arrogance. Most of them ousted from russia so they don’t get drafted to the army. But they still support war and genocide of Ukrainians
As a Ukrainian who understand russian language, this is so true. The way they behave is very shameful. Dominate or be humiliated is part of their culture, so when they encounter such kind and generous-souled balinese people they choose to humiliate them. I wish more people in the world could understand russian language for a day and really grasp what is going on in their heads culturally and how they view other nationa
Russians are a problem in Bali
Russian tourist is well known as a rude foreigners here in indonesia. There always a news about their bad behaviour in news-site in social media
I can read body language some ukrainan and Russian think they are smarter because they are bold. But bold just means selfish !!!!
Bali is amazing place. I appreciate the detailed breakdown of all the best places to visit and things to do in Bali and very proud of your accomplishments to partake in different cultures around the world.
Hi Christian
Thanks for sharing this video. Love the exceptional editing and story telling. I last visited Bali in 2016-17 and enjoyed it.
Thanks for the info! Very helpful. Won’t make it there this year since we have plans to spend the summer in Alaska then Florida for the winter but hopefully next year we can visit. Have fun out there and stay safe ✌🏼
Guess I’ll have to make a 2024 update !
Perfect timing... Can't wait to fly there in a week! I'll be staying a 1/3 of my time at LCH! Looking forward.
I went to Bali in 2019 and I bet it's changed a lot since then. Love this video. Great breakdown. I prefer these type of videos from you, thanks man.
man you make really high quality videos appreciate you thank you
I’m genuinely curious about how Balinese people feel about foreigners buying land and building. Can you do a video focusing on that aspect? Besides digital nomads, do you provide any services/opportunities to the Balinese people/community?
Foreigners cannot own land here..He does nothing but employees them for 10 dollars a day. After being here for years he cannot understand nor speak bahasa..just sad
Thisssss 💯💯💯
I get your point, but isn’t this situation the same everywhere (touristy destination areas I mean)? Like Mexico for example, a lot of westerners buy places there for investments (rental places) or many parts of CARRIBEAN, or other Asian countries, well, pretty much tropical destinations. The only difference in my opinion is that these other places I’ve mentioned are bigger and actually plan infrastructure for growth and what not. Bali on the other hand isn’t that big and even though tourist demands are growing or a lot of expats are flocking in their infrustructure stays the same , I don’t know, perhaps it’s a problem with their own government being corrupted and they just put this money to fill their own pockets instead of making life better for local people. I’m not too familiar with their politics but that would be my guess. All in all I don’t know how this benefits the local people, probably it benefits them in some ways but also hurts them in other ways. 🤷🏻♀️
But this happens everywhere, you’ll never go to any country that doesn’t have foreigners living there ,building and buying property? Mostly everyone in America is a foreigner coz they all came from different countries.
Well in his last video he talked about he was looking to hire at least 3 Indonesians for his business. So Christian is also making sure he's doing his part. Props to you bro 👏🏾👍🏾
Just got back last week. This video is soft. It doesn't really convey the choking traffic. Or sitting in over crowded cafes where every table filled with Russians, restaurant staff are overwhelmed and you wait almost an hour for a coffee. instragram spots are mob scenes, people waiting for hours to take a picture. Lines and lines of vans shuttling you around Nusa Penida for pictures!? It was crazy and really unpleasant. He didn't cover Ubud, it took us an hour to get across town (less than a kilometer / on a scooter)! We went East, not great there either. We did find some solace above Lovina in a the North. The spirit and beauty I enjoyed before COVID, it is gone. Gone. We were there during this year's rainy and low season. I want to send big heart blessings to anyone attempting to go during the high season this summer. My recommendation? Cancel your trip. Can an island melt down? It is going to be a nightmare this year. You've been warned. 😮😢 We couldn't wait to leave.
Serious? Damn
wow thanks, this is radical. will you try outer islands?
Man amazing video very deep explanations thank you alot mate
As always very precise and clear, my wife and I planed to go in bali next year for the second time so those info are very useful.
I hope that we can also find some "cheap" place to stay for two weeks. Thanks a lot for sharing!
What I always do when booking accommodation is to book in advance at refundable, changeable prices, even when non refundable prices are attractive. Then from time to time, continue to check prices so you can change when there are better deals.
If only you are respectful to local ..if not dont go
Bro...I lived in Bali for 18 months back in 1996. Seminyak used to be ground zero for expats, Canngu was just a tiny village back then with endless fields of rice paddies that i'd pass by on my way to surf out there. Listening to this video and seeing the bits....I feel so lucky to have lived and experienced it back in the day. I still have some friends that live there, they told me it has been spoiled long before COVID hit - paradise lost!
👍😢
It wasn’t COVID’s fault dude. It was this guy’s and everybody’s like him.
Great video! thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the great details.
U’re my vlogging guru man! ❤️ love from PAKISTAN
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I first traveled to Bali in 2015 too and returned this year and I couldn't believe how much Canggu has changed. It was kind of sad but I still enjoyed myself. I suppose like every other popular tourist hot-spot it's never as good as the first time you experience it. I felt the same way when I returned to Thailand.
yeah we had the same, even uluwatu is changing.
a friend of my always said, u guys are 10 years to late at bali.
@@mr.flupsurf2860 glad I got to experience Bali before the digital nomad boom.
How much would you spend a day on vacation there?
thats funny I also went to Bali last month, and the last time was in 2015. In 2015 I was in Ubud and my friend told me to come to Canggu if i want to get away from the crowds in Ubud! ha ha how things have changed. Canggu now is just a different experience. But not for me.
@@stevenponte665512 years in Bali and have never been there!! TO PRETENSIOUS MOB STAYING THERE.
I LOVE this island. As usual, great information!

Everyone watching TH-camrs promote Bali during the 2 to 3 years of Covid has led to this huge influx of demand now that travel restrictions have lifted. The whole world wants to move to Bali. It's quite ironic and sad that TH-camrs have ruined it for themselves and others. Hopefully, the demand slows down substantially soon and Bali returns to something close to what it was in 2019 before the pandemic.
Thanks for the insight, Christian. I arrived in Bali in March 2020 right before the pandemic was declared. It was a strange time to be there, and I’ve often thought about going back under more “normal” circumstances. It’s helpful to know what to expect.
Thanks bro for loving Bali so much. You always promote Indonesia. ❤
We just spent 3 weeks there and it cost WAY more than we thought it was going to be! I loved Bali and it was a dream destination for so long...but a little overrated... probably don't need to go back. But driving through Ubud in the rice fields on the little back roads might be one of the most magical things we have ever done!
Mind if I ask how much you spent? And what kind of experience did it get you?
My thought exactly. Went last May. One of the most overrated places I’ve been. Shit was instagramized to the max. It left a really bad taste in my mouth. That being said, I’d love to go back but I’d go explore the northern part of the island. PS. I also really enjoyed driving around the backroads of ubud. Very magical indeed
It's always more expensive in the touristy area like most westerners live
@@simonaustin6219 that's really how people should enjoy Bali. Not just in the bubble in the south
@@simonaustin6219 Oh yeah everywhere you go there is a line to take a picture. But we found some places that weren't terrible!
One thing I want to correct in the video. It's definitely not true that the cost of cooking at home is the same as in the restaurants. You can get fresh produce at the local markets for cheap!
100% correct... 2 people 150,000 you can eat like a king. Coca Cola at restaurant is 15,000...if bought at toko its 6,000...
Great video! Thank you.
I love how you respect the cultures, thank you so much ❤
I think if people choose the right time to travel to Bali before the summer peak it will seriously give them a better attitude to Bali’s because like April & May or September & October
Nope. It is a mess. Just left last week. Matt was super soft in this video, culture is getting crushed, biz people can't hire locals easily because of demand. Don't get fooled.
I moved to bali in 2021 and canggu was completely empty with no one on the road when you go to a restaurant for lunch, now days I completely avoid canggu bc of it's insane traffic jam's! I moved to Pererrnan as its also in development right now but still not as bad as canggu.
2021 CANGGU WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY ? EITHER YOURE A LIAR OR DELUSIONAL
Very Informative video, makes a lot of sense as living here too! Just want to ask how did you do the mapping graphics? pretty cool!
Great Video! Thank you. As an Australian entertaining an ex-pat life in Bali this was useful. I like what you're creating with "Lost Creator House" and definitely interested in connecting moving forward. An FYI on Rosetta stone link in the middle of video. They don't offer Indonesian at anything above a rudimentary level through their site. Thought that might be useful to note given Indo is the main language spoken in Bali. Thanks again
You have to go to Ivory Coast , Namibia Tanzania , Seychelles , the Mauritius too. Love your content
Hard to believe the rapid change growth there. Our popular spots for foreigners here in the Philippines now far behind which is known for remote work digital nomads several years ago. at least, no excessive traffic and price increase. Well deserved by Indonesia though, they grew and improved just everywhere. They're a huge economy for several years now
thanks for the insights
Great video''this gave me an idea of the lifestyle there❤😊
I went there in 2019. It was such a great time.
🙏🏼
funfact: influencers like you, who sold bali to the world for years, are the main reason for the high demand and therefor a major factor for the price increases 😏
Who sold bali to the world for years = who put money in your bank account while leaving a trail of ruined places in your wake.
Screw this guy. That comes from someone who lived in Indo for 15 years. I hope to god that he doesn’t go out and ruin more islands there.
thank you for the information
A very informative video. Thank you.
Hope you have realized that you have contributed to all these changes! :)
He hasn’t. It’s how he makes his money. He’s a P.O.S. All this is performative. Guy couldn’t care less. Self obsessed. Trail of ruined places in his wake. But as long as the money and views keep coming, right?
crazy how a place changes when tourists start to find out about it
also great video really entertaining and informative
Right I believe as time go by Bali going to keep getting expensive. The country is beautiful and I love the way they build their houses. And many people wants to move there including me. The best thing for all of us is start building a digital business before moving there. I wanna live good when I get to Bali. What they say? Money talk bs walks lol.
It’s all “me me Me” the country is gonna get more expensive… what about the locals living there who have been pushed out by expats.
That plus people just moving there, keeping their US money rev and building there and what did they think would happen? It's just so funny to me.
@@takiyagenji8951 If you just want a beach retirement home, then even Lombok is not attractive, there are many other places elsewhere in the world that are cheaper and have more beautiful beaches.
Many people go to Bali for its incredible offering of activities, thriving traditional culture and ambiance. We have many boring beach towns in Malaysia, you are welcome to move here.
blame it on the internet. and cheap airfares. back in the day it was word of mouth
Very well done video!!!!
Amazing, Outstanding work
Super informative, thanks for sharing! ☺️
🙏🏼 my pleasure
Definitely was looking for a video like this! We can def expect prices to continue to rise in Bali.
Hope it helped! Yeah I think so 😅😅
Lol. The devil with (his Angels)
Informative 🔥🔥
Great video, love Bali, was there in 2000, hope to visit someday, beautiful place, locals are really nice and good people
I’ll go to Bali next week and I’m starting making content (you are one of my inspiration to create content) I saw the Lost Creator House and I really want share the ideas and meet great people with the same vision, if you want to be a shark hang out with sharks 😃
I already sent the request to stay and I hope I can have this opportunity to go there 💪🏻
Keep working! Your content is amazing!!
a little tone deaf? the whole idea here is that influencers have ruined Bali, no?
I lived there recently for just under two months. No one can pay me to live in Canggu. I had to venture out to other places which were not infested with rude, nasty, foreigners/tourists (specially Russians) to have a good time and experience the culture and beauty of this magic island. I hope they cancel the VOA for Russians as the discussions are under way for that.
LMAO
I'm currently here and have a 2 month visa, I'm paying to move my flight tomorrow and go back to the UK after 2 weeks asap. Beautiful island and people but I don't wan't to sit in a bar listening to scooters, honking and breathing petrol fumes. Yes, there are quieter places, but it takes too long to get anywhere.
Not only Russian..some western too they need to get kick out..
@@ginger3269 so you had a 2 month stay planned and you're over it now after just 2 weeks? wow that says a lot.
Loved your video
Lovely information!!
We just came from 8 months in the Philippines, life was super cheap and easy and here we are in Bali for the summer. time will tell which is pricier now. Great video! 800 vids online is a huge accomplishment! our little channel with 50 has some major goals now! Way to go bro. keep it up!
philiphine many gun fight..gun is legal in philiphine..in bali gun is not allowed..
@@bungelonlevel2862 you are wrong. I'm American as well as a multi tour military veteran, and I own guns, so I know what I'm talking about. guns don't kill people or cause violence... horrid people do. stop listening to the news. the Philippines is better than Bali in every way in 2023. In the 12 days since I made this 1st comment we have seen just how ugly it has gotten. We had booked to be here for 3 months and now are leaving tomorrow. and if you learn world history, not having guns just means the government can control everything you do and own your soul. Anyone could come and take what you have right now. Guns enable safety and security.
@@millenniallegends My friend was shot in the leg while ride the Jepney in Makati.. the robbers there used firearms.. and I lived in the Philippines for one month. how dangerous it is to ride a jepney at night
@@millenniallegends try ride jepney at night
@@millenniallegends brainwashed much?
Broo I’m moving to Kuta the end of august 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Incredible update, packed with great info. Reminds me of Hawaii getting more and more expensive to where locals are priced out.
I first traveled to Bali in 2015 too and returned this year and I couldn't believe how much Canggu has changed. It was kind of sad but I still enjoyed myself. I suppose like every other popular tourist hot-spot it's never as good as the first time you experience it. I felt the same way when
Bali is an ideal place to purifing and relaxing our soul, mind and body. Its a place to get closer to your sprituality, nature and kindness of people. With those qualities, its understood what to offer come with such price.
Although foreigners might find the beach and scenary in Bali is similar to those in Thai and Philipine, but Bali is in different catagory of uniqueness and elegance.
As Indonesian, we were hurt badly recently by rude and uncivilizad foreign tourist who disrespect and put dirt in our gem island. Hope the higher price in Bali can filter the garbage tourists from coming in.
Well worded. Bali is so special; I’ve never come across such deep spirituality and peace that affects how people live and act. Think about it everyday and hope to return to Indonesia. ❤
Hi! Would you mind sharing a bit more about the disrespects from foreign tourists?
@@camali_ch Sure, you can google it also with key words 'tourist in Bali bad behaviours'. Recently the cases like :
1. German girl interrupted Bali dance performance naked, in public secret area.
2. Denmark lady was showing her vagina around while riding motorcycle in busy road.
3. A Rusian guy tried to make chaos by fighting with local people who blocked his way to enter Hindu religious ceremony.
Perhaps high prices filters mostly the genuinely good tourists out and let the wealthy but arrogant russian tourists in
For digital nomads who wants an experience similar for maybe less money and in Europe: try the Canary Islands
Developing, developing, developing, building, building, more more more.... Yeah... for sure sounds awesome.
Everyone flocks to paradise. Paradise lost. It's beautiful there and I'm glad you're able to enjoy it! Great info. Thanks!
Funnily enough videos like these make the prices go up as more tourists go there lol
Man, here are the budget travel videos I need and love. Keep these types of videos going!
I love folks who jump right in and start narrating. ❤ Intros. are only interesting to the uploaders but jot to the beholders.
Great info
It's like people can't help but replicate the Western comfort they ran from to live the Bali experience.
Then all of a sudden Bali isn't exotic anymore, just another crowded place.
Which destination will get westernized next?
Thank you. We are planning to go to Bali this summer for 1 months 😅 and we were looking where to rent a villa and I checked different places like Seminyak, Nusa Dua. We are thinking about Canggu right now since we need to work remotely and we need some restaurants and life around us. After watching your video about the traffic I have some doubts about Canggu. We are family with kids so we will need a car and spending time a traffic could be very annoying 😅 thank you so much for the video and I subscribed for the tour guide 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Please consider canceling or reschedulimg. We were there doing the low season. The high season is going to be a nightmare this year. Nobody talks about distance, now they talk in minutes and hours. I am sorry. I wish someone have told us. If you are using a car, you are going to be miserable
Hi Anastasia, Canggu is the cool/dgital nomad place to go. You would have a lovely time in Sanur, easy to get around and good for families.
the location of nusa dua is more organized and neat, the streets are wider than those in canggu and seminyak, so you dont need to get stuck in traffic if you go outside the hotel. the internet is very fast, location is quite at night, the beach is clean & not crowded and usually used as a location for international events such as the G20. canggu and seminyak is suitable for people who love to party at beach club and surfing
You will be fine. Just avoid canggu but again visiiting canggu from 8am to 12 pm is fine
Amazing information
great video, I've always considered living somewhere in Indonesia. This gave me an idea of the lifestyle there. 😇
I don't know if you read your comments but thanks for the update, i'm heading that way next February (or March)
I read every single one. Cheers man. Enjoy it!
@@lostleblanc Hey Christian, could you please elaborate on what the “woke western policies” are that Bali will help people escape from?
I'm here right now and was talking to my friends about all the points you made in this video. It's so much more expensive than I remember. The traffic is insane. And it feels like there are more foreigners than locals. But I do disagree with the airport arrival. Immigration was crazy and I stood in line for 1.5 hours.
Ahhh shame. Well at least it looks new and clean since you’re stuck waiting in line 😂😅
There is actually also E-Voa where you do everything online. I was able to just pass right trough everything within 15 minuits.
This is probably variable, but I didn't wait for long at all when I arrived. The airport is very nice!
Wait immigration in indonésia ?!
thank you for this, my goal for this year is to move out this year to bali
Thank you for an honest video I will cross bali off my list
Bali first time 1997. No restaurants on beach at Jimbaran two on other side of the road, amazing seafood, lads climbed a tree for coconuts to make us a cocktail Sorry you never experienced real Bali. Nigel and Yani Mason could say the same about me. Yanis bar awesome.. That was when the world was a simpler place and people spoke with each other not text messages. Think you don't understand what you have missed. Must add it was dear to fly then. Cost 3k with flights for and rooms for 8 days for 2 pax.
If you live like locals, cooked your own food, buy your ingredients in local market, and live in modest place, with kitchen and bathroom, you would only need $500-600 a month. Most probably way less than that.
Informative
This is extreme. I'm literally in Bali right now living in a two bedroom place with kitchen and Aircon (bills included) near Ubud for $20 a night and eating (out or in, it is the same price) for $7.50 a day. Yes you can pay more.....but the same is true anywhere on Earth. A lovely meal out in an international food restaurant a few days ago cost me $15 for that one meal. It's is all about choice and Bali still has options for all budgets.
Can you please share the app you used to find a place that costs like this?
ubud is lower prices than canggu. u will have to pay $40-60 in canggu my guess now. $30 was minumum last year i found. food dunno
I watched a documentary about how the local people are being forced to move into the outskirts, losing seafront properties, their homes because hotels and investors are buying up premium land because of the booming tourism industry. At what cost though? Price of living has been driven up to the point that locals struggle to afford a comfortable life in their own country. Tourism is a double edged sword.
Locals have the option to not sell too....goes both ways
Are you sure there were local beach front houses? When batu balong and berawa was still undeveloped, there were mostly empty land and bushes. Local houses are mostly along the main roads and gangs. Beachfront houses have high erosion and maintenance costs. Anyone selling their houses become millionaire in USD and could move to quieter residential area with bigger land. Most locals or workers from other islands live in Denpasar with lower rental and food prices.
Amazing video
$40/day on food? Woah! As a single guy who eats really good, I probably spend $40 a week in Michigan.
these people have lost touch with reality.
Awesome view from your videos
Well pointed out the current issues in Bali. Just Canggu is sick, were in Pererenan, it was still ok. But Canggu and Ubud is so overcrowded, it is not even high season. Can not quite understand the Bali hype and I have never seen so many superficial people in one place.
this is expected, if youtubers and influencers go there, then all people will follow and create more demand and higher prices.. you are actually driving this by your videos!
Amazing 😍😍
I lived with my sister in Bali in 2001 and it was a true paradise! I am still in contact with my friends from Bali. Now I am married and we have a teenage daughter to whom I want to show Bali, which has remained in my heart forever. Greetings from Croatia ❤️
I pay 260 dollars for two bedroom local house 5 min from the beach by scooter, located near to Balangan and Dreamland beach. you can live cheap and nice in Bali if u want and know how. Canggu is basically little western city in Bali but anyways, been here long enough, lived in Cangu for about 3 years and honestly I don't know why people still like it, horrible place. Better come to Uluwatu, real beaches and surf is here, amazing nature and clean air. Crazy developing already as well tho,going to be next Canggu:D
This was informative ✊🏾
260 usd per month is still expensive..you can find more cheaper than that price
is that yearly rental?
canggu is for posers
Monthly of course
Maybe someday,my videos will be as awesome as Christian..... Keep going man, you're the best 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you!
