Hi All, I am coming to Bali with the other half for a week. We normally go to Thailand and have used the expat forum there for great advice. Figure the Bali one would be the same. My brother was in Bali about a year ago and hired a local he met outside his hotel to show him and his family...

Does anyone know where there is a phone that I can use to make an international reverse charge call (bloody banks and their security codes) Denpasar/Kuta area hopefully? Post offices had them once or do they still? Thanks in advance

Has anyone had any successful experience with a lawyer in Ubud? Am seeking a lawyer, not a notaris, and can find nothing in or near Ubud in previous posts. Thanks

The promise of the 'coldest Bintang in Bali' could be enough to fill Sheppy's on any given day, but it's the Collie couple's warm Aussie embrace of the Balinese culture in that busy Legian Street that keeps tourists flocking back. On a weekend in February, when the monsoon season sees...

Looking to buy a new scooter, figured a Vario is probably the best choice, but now doubting between the 125cc and 150cc. What are your opinions is the 150cc worth the 3jt extra? Right now I have a very old vario 125cc rental bike without the idling stop system. I mostly use it for driving...

How do you guys (and girls) stop yourself from getting stressed while driving over here? I’m mostly referring to Monday night when the Balinese closed most of the streets with temples in, causing havoc around here. I guess a notice on the streets to be closed a few days before is a little too...

Hi folks - newbie here. The other half and I hope to spend a year here, me on business, she a teacher. I'm a windsurfer back home (UK) but Bali does not have much of a reputation for windsurfing so was expecting to make do with surfing instead. however, whilst perusing the multiple (and very...

It is called "Grab Taxi" and can easily be ordered with a smartphone. Look in the playstore for "Grab Taxi Bali", download the app and register. I tried it today for the first time and was really impressed. The price was half of a metered taxi, the drivers have GPS so there is no trouble finding...

In a previous post it was suggested that Sanur is for the more 'mature age' expats. I would imagine everyone has their own view on what area attracts what style of people. Soo, share with me your view on Sanur, Kuta, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua etc, I am interested in your take on it :) Please

Just for those interested the best swell to hit Bali this year and maybe the last couple started pounding the Bukit this morning. I am still a few days away from leaving Oz and have been checking the live web cam, provided by Bali Belly, at Bingin periodically throughout today. It is a glorious...

Hello all, First let me kick my first post of with a big thank you for answering many questions through various dates and posts. There is alot of misconception and direction.... its just great to hear from real stories. I suppose where i am at is I am looking to rent a villa for a year within...

The taxi driver taking you home falls asleep for a moment, the taxi swerves and nearly hits a motorbike, but he comes to just it time to prevent a disaster.? Report the driver? Get angry and make a fuss? Refuse to pay? Just pay and ignore it the most common Indonesian way?
