Cheers, STL
A lot of English spoken and even on the walls in the grocery store. It looks like a dream to live in a beautiful laid-back place like that. ❤ Everyone seems happy too - many smiles.
Had never heard of Lombok before....very cheap and looks very appealing...thanks for the great tour, much appreciated! 🤗
Me neither and looks like a place I wouldn't mind Spending Some time in, at least a month.
Thank you for filming our real estate office with crepes stand in the front. Kuta Lombok is the best ❤
Find me a tour company want to come visit
As someone considering longer term stays I like the trips into the grocery stores and seeing real time costs of everyday food items. Don't be shy ablout drilling down into those costs on a few more staple items! Love the location and there's no doubt it's gonna blow up with the Mandalika development and race track et al.
Thx CK, I like seeing prices etc too, will try to incl more.
Why travel anymore? It takes me two weeks to recover from the real world.
I remember visiting Kuta Lombok about 30 years ago. Not much of that there then - in fact, I can only remember choosing between only 2 restaurants / cafes and only one resort which basically monopolizing the whole beach! Wow, what a change!
Thanks for sharing wonderful memories Peter! Ironically, sitting almost alone on nearby Tanjung Aan beach at North end (with just 1 beach hut warung and a solitary fisherman) I was reminded of Playa Del Carmen 20+ years ago. Can see here: czcams.com/video/-u2C0ZjfKOM/video.html
Meanwhile, yes, just over the next bay Kuta Mandalika & area is rapidly changing (but still has a village by the sea vibe and waaaaay chiller and nicer than Kuta Bali imho;)
I spent 2 weeks in Lombok in 1991. It was so much nicer than Bali. Virtually no tourism back then, but the people had a fantastic lifestyle because of the rich fishing and farming.
The reason I love Lombok and now I live in Lombok😊
Wow, first time watching your videos (it just showed up in my feed) and honestly I’ve never had much interest in traveling to this part is the world. But I’ve got to say, this piqued my interest. Many beautiful spots, nice modern and clean places to stay and eat, and friendly, welcoming people. Not to mention, pretty cheap! Thanks for the insights into a new potential travel destination for me!
I was there in 1989, 1995, 1999/2000. I love the nice Balinese people. They gave me so good memories that I never will forget. This is something you never can't buy with money.
FYI. What you've saw in this video is "Kuta Mandalika" which is one of the popular tourist spot in Lombok island, Indonesia. Not the Kuta Bali one. So basically they're not balinese but Sasak people. Sasak is the ethnic group in Lombok.
@@zein8823there are many Balinese living in Lombok too especially in Mataram many kampung Bali, so he probably not wrong 😂
Wow beautiful !! This seems to be Indonesia 🇮🇩. What a beautiful country with really lovely people. Maybe this could be a place to retire !!
I am Vietnamese but live in US. I would love to take a vacation to go to Kuta Beach. It is much more affordable than we had a EU trip recently. I love riding a motorcycle.
Im a balinese and i am a motorbike riding lover as well. I guarantee it will be a good experience for you to ride circling the island for a day or two. Bonus trip you can hop to the next island sumbawa by ferry.. beach on your left hand side and hill on the right
When I retire I’m going to live in a different country every winter and spend summer in my happy place in upper Michigan
Kuta beach views in the morning with a coffee”paradise” and it looks like getting around on the motorbike is easy enough…..another great video STL!
Thx MauiHowey, biking all over Lombok is fantastic, decent roads and great views. Apart from Kuta, there's even nicer beaches as we'll see in next vid and also here czcams.com/video/-u2C0ZjfKOM/video.html
Been watching your videos for non-stop lately😅. You are really great at making someone feel like they’re there actually travelling with you. Planning my SE Asia in March and got some crucial info from your videos. Thank you🙏
wow, looks like Lombok is as good as Bali and many tourists as well. Just Lombok is less crowded, which could be good for some people who dont like crowdness
You are covering some details on Bali and Lombok that others miss. I appreciate that. I need to get over there.
Went to Kuta, Lombok circa 2010. The only thing there was a gorgeous beach and maybe one homestay. It looks awesome now. I always remember how organized things were in Mataram, or was it Ampenan(?). I’d love to stay there for a couple of months.
I was there over 20 years ago, can't get over how different it is. Great video, thank you.
I'm on my way, not even going to pack!!! Just me, & the clothes on my back...beautiful❤️☀️
So happy to have come across this video. This is exactly the kind of information I have been looking for. I watched some of your earlier vids too. Very informative. Nice format. I’m your new subscriber now. I’m planning a 6 month trip to SE Asia starting March 2023. Your vids will be invaluable to me 😀
Great video packed with a ton of info and nice friendly people! Makes me want to get out of the freezing and on to
the beach!🏝 Treehouse has my vote.
Thanks for the video upload! Lombok, Indonesia is on my bucket list! 💡
What a beautiful and peaceful place, that is definitely living life. Enjoy it at best, friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you soooo much. You just described an affordable safe, affordable, paradise holiday destination for us. Just gooorgeous!!!
I was impressed at how well stocked that grocery store was, and was thinking it is better stocked than my current store in the US nowadays.
I haven't been to southern Lombok in over 30 years. Same planet different world and looking good.
Great video, thank you 🙏 I’m a first time subscriber because it just happened to pop up on my feed. Looks like another place to put on my travel calendar. I look forward to seeing your next adventure/ video!
Beautiful place, thanks for the warm views 👍
Wow, I just came back from Kuta, Lombok. The places you went to and of course in the background, my cousin and I ate at those places. Looking at your video it took me right back to Lombok. Oh and yes I'm looking at going back in '23. I never thought of going in to the back ( away from downtown, busier area) of Kuta to look for cheap places to stay.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing this 🙌. I have been wanting to go somewhere different. Looks very peaceful and serein.
What was the cost to go ?
You have a very easy and kind sounding voice to listen to.
Terima kasih sudah datang berkunjung ke daerahku.semoga anda betah dan senang selama berada di lombok.di lombok masih banyak keaneka ragaman seni budaya seperti tema yang aku angkat tentang seni budaya lombok.
I stayed at Kuta Beach, Bali fifty years ago. Didn't know about this Kuta Lombok.
I spent 6 weeks in bali in 2009. Such a great place. Great memories. If I ever went back I'd definitely splurge on a place that had AC. Looks like a lot has changed over the last 14 years.
Thank you for doing this. I watch a popular catamaran fam on YT & they used to film the stores & the groceries etc wenever they went to land (all over the globe) but stopped doing that; to me their chan has gone downhill. Thanks for showing us all the stuff we are interested in as travelers.
This video was a precious gem about prices, location, contacts. Airbnb actually is over the most people can pay. Thanks a lot :D
Was there around 2010 for one month and two years later again. I remember some dusty roads, a handful of homestays and a few restaurants. It has developed a lot.
The number one problem with staying long term in Indonesia is that its not easy to get a Long Term Visa,regardless of Nationality.. A Business Visa can cost a lot as well as a Retirement Visa, Im unsure of what they cost these days as SE Asia Visas are changing fast but it would be easy enough to find out how you can apply for one, how much it costs and if you have to do a Visa run out of the country every 3-6 or 12 months.
If you visit the place then that sort of information could be found easy.
I showed visa options in an earlier vid (but should have also added here as you correctly point out). So for more visa info, I'll copy n paste my response to another commenter below, hope this helps:
----------
Indonesia Visas? Most just use the 30 days on arrival visa ($35) and renew for another 30 days and then via visa runs to re-start (flight to Singapore etc). There's also a B211 Visa (meant for offshore workers) cost approx $300 for 180 days (valid for 60 days but can be extended twice). Indonesia is also rolling out a 5 year 'second home' visa for those with 130k in the bank. Beyond visa on arrival, most use local visa agents for longer term stays.
I knew people that lived on Bali years ago and they did their Visa Run to Singapore and they calculated the flight and the time in Singapore plus the Visa as one price.
But would be nice to have this information updated as of this week just to give us an idea of the specifics
@@abw48it's still not necesarry to fly HOME and then back again? How much is the flight to Singapure and back again? It's ok to fly back straight away?
I love your content, because you always give a good look about, with short term and long term rentals at all different price points. Plus you get off the beaten path. The bars and resturants you go to are just what I like Thanks for the great work!!!
Cheers Joe
1ST TRIP TO BALI/UBUD WAS '83, MADE IN BACK IN '14 .. WOW! HAVE LOOKED AT LOMBOK .. 35YRS IN HAWAI'I .. CHANGES!
Hiya. STL. A little behind. But will catch it before the weekend is out. Happy New Year.
Thank you for the lovely tour around. Always informative. Great video.
Good vibes. Your food looked so good. Definitely perfect pudding. Have a great weekend.
Nice vid. Thanks.bring back old memory years ago spent whole month there.
Thanks for letting me know about this place. I think it's a gem.❤
Great video, full of important information and no fluff no fluff! Thanks!
I enjoy videos very much!! Am planning to visit Kuta Lombok soon. Thank you for sharing
Wow, I haven't been there for 40 years absolutely nothing there. Been to Bali many times including 4 this year. Definitely worth looking at for my next visit in March, lets hope can still get visa extension on the 30 day tourist visa seeing as they are changing a lot. Great casual vid glad I clicked on to look.🙏👍
Indonesia really is the perfect place to visit except for the 30 day visa. 🤪I’ve only been to North Sumatra so far. Palau Weh, Danau Toba, + Bukit Lawang were my fav spots…palau weh was quiet + dreamy, didn’t want to leave. I would love to spend 2 months on Lombok + Gilis but there are 5 of us, expensive visa runs to KL 😅 but maybe worth it 🤔, thks for sharing!
What do you mean Visa runs? Is one only able to stay for 30 days and then where do you have to go to be able to re-enter and how long do you have to stay away? What is the procedure to be able to stay six months or 3 years
Happy! From 33k subs now to 36k++ Hopefully STL can stay in Indonesia for a long time and explore a lot here. Keep making good content, don't focus on the number of views.... The number of views will follow when good content is created... It may not be immediately obvious, but it takes time and when it does, you can see it from the number of views on this video...and the number of subscribers that continues to grow... Keep spirit... 3 x 🤗
Like your video's with maps in them. Good Job, keep it up.
Thanks. Very nice clip .👍👍👍
Thx for sharing! Looks interesting and promising!
Great video mate. Really enjoyed it & shared with some friends. Watching from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
I’ve been to this place in 1990, not many tourists. It was very quiet with only a few locals rented out their home. Looks so different now.
Another brilliant video, love this channel I’ve stopped in so many of your recommended hotels 😂
Nice Matthew, thanks!
Brilliant! Straight to the point and informative. Really surprised but happy to see Kuta Lombok compared to my last visit 10 years ago. Literally only has 1 hotel, and few villas under constructions, and 2 (afaik) cafes. Pretty chill and quite.
Thanks Umar. Must have been a great time to visit back then. As you and others have said, many changes since but still a chill vibe, let's hope that remains.
Excellent video!! I might do some travelling like this when I retire!!!
OK WOW....The video answered nearly all my questions and believe me i had a lot. Definitely A MASTER CLASS in how to do a travel video. You had me hooked from the first shot....Good on ya mate....i am a new fan
Thanks for the warm vibe! I need that when -20 is outside🙂
Yikes! Warm wishes Vyacheslav
Makes me want to travel tne world again.....
Thanks for coming to lombok 💕
You're fun! I smile throughout your video...Thank you.
Cool video; thanks for sharing.
Loved the friendly people, such a beautiful place. Adding it to my bucket list. Thanks for letting us know.
Thanks for the presentation.. Never have been there. Looks interesting
Great video. I hope your channel grows!
Adeng-adeng... Slow down!! 😁😁😁🍺
Excellent video, lot of info.. very helpful for future travelers. Thank you so much.🙏
Great videos, wonderful content! Want to visit all the places you've been!
Thank you Sim, may you do so and more!
EXCELLENT VIDEO OF MOBAK, VERY INTRESTING WITH LOTS OF INFORMATION TO MAKE UP MIND FOR ACCOMODATION AND DINING PLACES. THANKS FOR SHARING PRICES AND MENU WHICH MOST OF THE VIDEO BLOGGERS MISS THAT. LOOKING FOR NEXT VIDEO. KEEP IT UP😀
Glad this video got a lot of views it was great
Looks fabulous. I would have chosen the Treehouse. Cathy and Kevs x
That Treehouse prob has the coolest interior design of the lot, loved it (went back for a drink and spring rolls after but phone died;)
"WOW ! !" Once I get off the floor..., I will be alright... * Excellent video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video... " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)
Glad I found your channel. Really cool. I saw your BKK video first $345 a month condo and really enjoyed that as well. I subscribed 👍🏽
Yes I would love to go.
Fantastic... very envious of you. Considering retiring soon and living out of a suit case and hitting spots like this. THANK YOU!!!
Hello from CA & thanks 4 the great video in Lombok!
Thanks Liz
I am Ana Jarai live in USA 🇺🇸 love to visit Anak Indonesia country one day
Wow this is definitely not the rustic Lombok I remember from a decade ago. You have inspired a revisit. Thanks eh
Nice, must've been pretty laid back 10 years ago. But still a rustic vibe about the place imho, for sure worth a visit (or re-visit;)
Very exciting, my girlfriend and I have plans to move to Bali in 7 - 8 months thanks to investing properly and my CZcams income... Looking forward to it when I see these videos!
Thanks for inviting me to come along.
I was impressed at how well stocked that grocery store was, and was thinking it is better stocked than my current store in the US nowadays. Very nice.
Your videos are the most thorough out there. I love that you never forget price, grocery, local fare… top notch vlogger, I really enjoy!
Looks like an awesome place grocery store was amazing.. looks like it has good infrastructure.
👍 Thanks for the Insight ! 👋
Looks amazing, I hyaven't been to Lombok yet, may have to next year when back in Bali again.
Thank you so much for this vid! Love the realness and pricing you show to help ppl out on the possibilities of easy travel and stay of bugalows vs air bnb !!!!
Been there twice last time 1995. All I can say is that it has changed a lot !
For the better I think. More prosperous ,cleaner , etc . just hope it doesn't get overrun with tourists.
They do appear to have big plans for Kuta Lombok area but thankfully the village is still fairly chill, plus other chill beaches as seen here: czcams.com/video/-u2C0ZjfKOM/video.html
Looks amazing! Never even noticed Lombok hiding behind Bali there! 😊
I love the way you do these videos, all the extra information you include. It's so much more helpful than people posing in waterfalls 😂
Been following your vidoes for over a year. Love your vidoes
Thanks Sunny
perfect video and info for real!
That's the best informative video i finaly found about kuta! thanks a lot for super map navigation!
Looks very nice, good vid thanks
146k views in 7 days!! Happy Xmas Mr STL, thanks for the vids in '22.
Fantastic Video. Definitely looks like a great place to live also.
Looks amazing!
Wow you found a nice place.
Beautiful place, I’m all packed and on my way!
Wow, seems easy to get around, with so many speaking English.
1st visit to your channel. Nice relaxing style, not too rushed, good titles to help understand local things. New Subscriber and liked. Trying to decide on Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand or ??? Happy Trails from Florida (Merry Christmas from WDW)
It looks like a place to go, great presentation.
TY
It's cold in Canada 🇨🇦 and where I am too. 🧊🧊🧊
