money

I'm often asked this question and the usual answers are already well known (culture, nature, rice fields, dance, weather, etc) but I thought I'd attempt to show it from a different perspective, that of a 61 year old, balding, running quickly to fat, non-smoking, beer guzzling, motor scooter...

I reported few months ago a fraud and embezzlement. Just few days ago I received a litter from the officer who handled the case that there was no criminal case... He adviced that I could complain. With whom? Him! Does somebody similar experience? What tomdo?

I'm thinking of buying a new bike, looking at the Nmax or PCX. Markit has had a good run out of his Nmax, anyone had a good run with there PCX ?

We are needing to get quite a bit of money to Thailand. Best options? If we go through the bank, we have to change from IDR to US$ and then to THB. Expensive. The limit of taking money out is only 100,000,000 each I believe and US$20,000 into Thailand. We have a contract for what the money...

Had a problem with our home internet the other day so I thought no problem just buy some package for my phone and use tethering. 2GB sounds a lot especially if you are not downloading any big files. I was surprised though that it was gone by the next day. Paid just over 100,000 so not a cheap...

Hello. Currently doing research about how to spend a year or two in Bali and have found that the SosBud visa would be an option. Don't understand why do people have to waste time every month to go to the office (or multiple times with a week between), but I guess that's how inefficient and...

Has anyone had much experience with AliExpress? I am just curious how it works. The site says free shipping to Indonesia and prices seem so cheap. Is it too good to be true?

Has anyone else fallen fowl of the Kintamani Tourist Tax? We went through there the other day and got stopped for 'tourist tax' 160,000!!! 6 of us in the car, made us pay for 5, I didn't have to pay as I was driving. Kitas holders with family. Even if you are just traveling through or not...

I can't imagine its a good time to be living in Thailand right. Seems like a lot of uncertainty in the country and people wondering what direction the country is going in. I know we like to complain about the bureaucracy here but many things seem to be worse in Thailand...

Any of you have any idea what is going on with the Ubud market? I have been away for almost four months and I am still shock to see the market is still the same and nobody repair it!! If I am not wrong probably has been already one year since got fire isn't it? how come they don't do anything...

I use to buy things in Lotte Mart two or three times per a year and until now it has been good, but I haven't been there for almost six months and I went last week.

Last couple of years we've seemed to be having a growing tick crisis. Since they only seem to attack the dogs (in between the toes and in the ears) and the missus (occasionally) it's not a major crisis but would like to know if anyone else has a similar problem and how they resolve it (can get...

Good evening all, Buying a used car anywhere is a serious buyers beware matter and I daresay buying a used car in Bali has some extras. But here's the thing. It seems that motor cycling in Indonesia is a rather hazardous occupation and more so with extra considerations for a Bule. Late...

... gas hot water heater. The previous gas hot water heaters I had/have never impress much. The flame doesn't switch on. Adjusting temperature is a pain in the a$$ either to hot or not hot enough. The gas hot water heaters I see in Mitra10 and elsewhere all seem to be the same. Just wondering...

Lots more American tourists possibly. Indonesian carriers cleared for US flights after nine-year ban - BBC News
