Indonesia is big, if you dont fancy going to Bali because it's too crowded then go to lombok. If you want to have more authentic cultural hub, go to jogja. If you want to see a tropical jungle then go to kalimantan, wanna see jurrasic park like scene go to papua. It is so confusing why a lot of people think Bali is a country.
Great advice 😃 thanks!
@@Chai_Traveljust watch the lost boys and christian hansen they're truly explore Indonesia!
People who dont like crowds cam be geeks in Europe and they want to see the hot jocks in Asia. They are handsome in Asia, until the cool arrive and Bali has dozens of hot british lads, dozens of gorgeous French and Swedish men.
TIL Bali aint a country😅
As balinese, I think people who said Bali is crowded must be think Bali is very small island
As an Indonesian i can only laugh whenever i heard foreigners complaining about how overcrowded Bali is, i mean whose fault is that?? Indonesia is SO VAST, you dont have to stuck in Bali to enjoy the life here. If you are an avid diver go to Bunaken, if you are an avid surfer go to Mentawai, If you love snorkling go to Raja Ampat, if you love sailing go to Labuan Bajo, and the list is endless, yet you choose to stay in Bali, why? because it is convenient.
Well said 🏆
I find it really funny too! While I appreciate tourism helping an island/country but damn a lot of the people and no offence especially from the West just completely disrespects the locals and culture and literally and it's not a nice word , "colonising" the island. Just look at the amount of property agencies own by caucasians. Foreigners selling local land. The balance is off.
@@TheRealMcCoyAndChipsAhoy foreigner cant own a land in Indonesia
Yeeaahhh!! Well said
@@TheRealMcCoyAndChipsAhoy foreigners cannot own land or property in Indonesia, however they can still lease them for a period of time. Ive been warning every foreigner i know about this, beware of the scam.
I have been to Bali many times and still really like it. I went there for the first time about 50 years ago and I have to say it was absolute paradise. I have been travelling full-time for the last 35 years and have experienced some wonderful places but nothing like Bali in the 1970s.
Wow amazing. The 70s.
Man, that’s just fantastic! Haha that must have been so cool. Thanks for sharing your positive look om Bali 🤗
Wow it must be very pristine 😮
Kamu perlu mengunjungi berbagai tempat lainnya di Indonesia selain bali.
Indonesia memiliki 17.000 pulau.
@@HambaAllah-kb5it tidak semua 17k bisa dikunjungi atau menginap
As an Indonesian who was born in Jakarta, I took Bali for granted because it's so close. Took me 32 years before I went there the first time and I moved there for 8 years before I had to move back to Jakarta because of covid. Even for me as an Indonesian, Balinese are more friendly, kind, genuine. I never lock my house or motorbike when I was there and never had any problem (sometimes I forgot and left the keys in the motorbike and still there in the morning, this is outside of the house too.) I miss Bali so much ❤
Thanks for sharing :) Hopefully you're able to move back again one day. ❤️
@@Chai_Travel Thanks!
Not only in Bali but many parts of Indonesia, we rarely lock our doors and vehicles.
Bali is overrated if you're from western countries and still being too western abroad with very narrow-minded approach.
Look at that very simple French man, been to 57 countries but how many languages does he speak? Even his English has terribly strong French accent.
Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line.
Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt.
And Judaism/Christianity/Islam are just the same dumb.
Even most of people know nothing about much older ancient modern civilization here in Indonesia before mega eruption of Toba supervolcano of Sumatra 75,000 years ago.
Including 25,000 years old Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia.
Hindu isn't from India either. Original Hindu is Indonesia not in India.
Hindu in India and in Bali are totally different
Indus, Indo, Hindia, Hindu = Indus Islands = Indo Nesos = Indonesia.
The same with Astrology came from Indonesia not by the Greeks, Egyptians nor Aramaic/Arabs/Jews.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just frauds branches of modified Hinduism in India.
Real Hindu came from Indonesia not India.
Hindu, Hindia, Indus, Indo, etc = Indo Nesos, Indus islands, Indonesia over 17000 islands, exactly on the center of the equator line, the center of all civilization, all Indo around the world came from here especially because of eruption of Toba supervolcano Sumatra 75000 years ago bigger than Yellowstone USA, resulted today world's largest volcanic lake Toba Sumatra.
Yet, world map is wrong since Mercator projection 1569, real Indonesia is Huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world.
Dutch VOC was much richer than any present day world's richest company.
Whole Europe, USA, etc western world in general were built with Indonesia's limitless wealth.
Coffee is native in Indonesia not brought by the Dutch.
Too many lies they wrote about Indonesia even at formal school books!
The fact is whole Europe has been built with Indonesia's wealth for centuries by mentally and intellectually they hasn't changed a bit.
But inner the same mediaeval.
As I always state:
Thus not a complete multiracial not multilingual never been living around the world all alone since childhood are just the same never evolved dumb apes stuck inside your tiny boxes your entire life and not learning from the past to evolve better.
Many paranormals including on Bali knew not to read me a tarot card unless you're prepared for the unusual.
Well, so many tourists are stuck in tourist spots..even though there are more to offer in Bali. This is why people think Bali is overrated, be brave, explore more..not to mention Bali is just a tiny Island in Indonesia, there are so much more Indonesia has to offer like Java, Lombok, Raja Ampat, Kalimantan, etc..btw Comparing a tiny island with Thailand which is entire country is not fair man,.i thought you are one of us..😂😂
Hahaha! Sorry mate 🤣 I hope I still am 😜 hopefully we’ll get to explore a lot more places over the next few years😊
Silahkan kunjungi berbagai tempat lainnya di Indonesia.

Not interest to go to another places 👎👎😂😂😂
Ive spent 4 months in Bali over the last yr. Love it there. No , i personally dont think its overrated.
Nice one mate :) 4 months is a good amount of time 😍
I really love Bali❤ , Bali is a place that makes me feel calm, the atmosphere is very comfortable, Balinese people are very friendly and has a very unique culture
👍
Bali is great and you can find everything you wish. Peace and quiet or hectic nightlife and everything in between. We normally hit Sideman, Tulamban or Kintamani for a relax then head to Sanur for the beaches and end our trips in Legian for the restaurants and bars. I've never had a bad holiday in Bali, we visit Indonesia around 3 times per year. Prices are going up however, they are going up everywhere else too.
Nice one mate :) thanks
Thank you!!!
Yeah I feel that as local this inflation gets us harder to live, but it happens to every country especially Europe when gas stopped & increased prices
As an Indonesian, I feel
happy with the many tourists who come, as long as they also respect the local culture, help take care of the island so that it remains beautiful and can be lived in comfortably for all.
Nicely said:) thanks for watching 🤗
100% respect Island of the Gods
It's a beautiful country & I 💯 respect its laws & culture. Love being there
😂😂it's not the tourist making it a shit hole.. it's a worn out dump !
@@zdd22fixes47 eat this 💩
starting 2024, gov will build train in bali,like underground train from ngurah rai airport to canggu as phase 1. The complete phase will cover until southern of bali.. hope can reduce the traffic a little bit
Wow, this would be a big change 😃 thanks for sharing this information
especially central Bali is very beautiful, lush green rice terraces are stunning! i was there 2009.....so long time ago, i should come again 😀
It is indeed 😍 yes you should haha. Please prepared for the busyness and you’re having the best time 😁
love bali, and i feel like i want to go back there...even every time i touch down bali, i feel positive energy and happiness
Aw that’s nice 😁 hopefully you’re making it back soon again
Thanks, Chai. I enjoy hearing the opinions of others, but I actually mainly wanted to hear what you thought of Bali, so I was glad to hear that at the end. Sometimes you only give others' views and we don't always hear yours. But for your audience, it is you that has the most cred with us. Good luck on the bio family search coming up! Best wishes.
Glad you enjoyed it! Haha thanks. I personally think I share that enough already in the vlogs I make and see those interviews more as a chance to shine the light on others :) maybe I should tell my own experience more often after all ;) thanks! 🏆🤗
Great work Chai. Well done. It certainly looks hectic there. A good variety of interviews mate 🤩
Thanks mate! Haha yes it is but it’s still lovely here though 🤗❤️🇮🇩 stay champ
Great content, you should interview more people, and a longer video, I think many people, mainly Indonesians will love this kind of video, anyway good luck with your trip to Solo, and finding your family!
Thank you for this video. Wonderful. Good to hear what people say about Bali.
Always a pleasure champ 😁
@@Chai_Travel 😀
I was there a few weeks ago.
I think a lot of youtube travel video's really oversell and overhype it. Also not as cheap as many video's can make you believe.
I skipped Canggu completley, I think it was a good choice.
Ubud is interesting to see and experience, but it feels so crowded there.
I had my best time in the less popular places. Like diving in Tulamben, Sideman area, further up north. Had most fun discovering the island with a lightweight backpack and scooter.
No way? We just missed each other! Thanks for sharing! I hope I can give a good and real picture of wherever we go in South East Asia 🤗 that’s the way Wahid 🛵
skipping canggu is the best decision you made.
From a westerner who has lived in Bali 35 years.
indonesia is not a poor country. I dont know why some tourist think they can rent a room for $10
@@julesherman6802 still possible to rent a dorm room co ed with 4-6 beds for 10$. you eat nasi jinggo for breakfast and a big nasi campur for dinner, cost of renting a bike at 35$ per month, you can easily live for 20$ a day.
You are living like a pauper mind you, but still living. Not my cup of tea. But these are the undesirables that Sandiaga Uno is trying to keep out. How? They have not figured it out, but it should be pretty easy. Prove you have at least 100$ for every day you are going to spend in Indonesia. Bhutan does it, and the place is clean with happy people. Why can't Indonesia do it? I know the answer.
God bless you from BALI INDONESIA....🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Nice work my friend 👌 certainly busy but that’s a good thing 😃 - plenty of positivity and great comments 👍✔️👋🙏
Cheers mate :) yes indeed. Busy is always good for some good chats 🤗
Come to West Kalimantan to see a different side of Indonesia. It could possibly be underrated 🙂
I’d love that 😍 hopefully we’ll make it over some day
Not interest 🤪
Try Sumba for a true escape , a forgotten unspoilt paradise
Nice video chai !😎👍
Thanks mate :) have a good one 👋
How cool, your on a spiritual journey to connect with your roots, I imagine it could be an emotional experience. Dont rush Solo, chill out for a month or two and good news will find its way once word gets around. I really hope you get to connect and share more of your story. I was 31 when I met my 2 brothers and Sister for the first time, felt like we'd never been apart, weird!
Thanks! I’m glad you reconnected with your family. Hopefully we’re able to find mine. Unfortunately we’ve only a week or so for the search in Solo 🤞let’s see what comes out of it
Bali is a country. indonesia is urban legend
🤭
haha
Bali is treasure so Indonesian need to protect and take care of that beautiful island
Head up to Lovina, Kubu and Amed. Its Bali 25-30 years ago. Great vid Chai.
Nice! Thanks for the tip. I think Lombok is similar like that 😍 thanks for watching
This video really inspires everyone, and I want you to expose more about Bali and Lombok, really this will invite everyone in the world to go on holiday ❤😅😅
Thank you :) more is coming up ❤️
Indonesia government should limit their motorbike and cars production for sure. its getting crazier over the years Im not lying. Cant imagine Bali for the next 10 years.
It used to be a nice place until this traffic frenzy taking over everywhere.
I LOOOOVE YOUR CONTENTS BROOOO!!! I feel like everyone else is either not being true or Indonesian baiting more often than not. Well not all of them.. But you are definitely set apart from the others and I treasure you! For your quest i wish you nothing but the best and I hope you will find what you are looking for and beyond in life. Beautiful! Thank Youuuuu! Im a Jakartan who have stayed in Bali from 2009 - 2013. So yeah I can relate with the fact that Bali has indeed changed. But I still love Bali and that will never go away. Thank You! Great content.
I appreciate that a lot 🤗🙏 thanks for your kind words and hopefully we stay in touch 🏆 cheers
03:50 When he said, "Russian and Ukranian tourists creating some issues in Bali" you said "It's the world's problem". I believe you were referring to the war between the two countries.
But, I believe what the French tourist meant was, Russian and Ukranian tourist very often create problems with the locals, like they were yelling with the locals during religious rituals, arguing with the police because the police stop them and gave them tickets for not wearing helmet when they were riding motorcycles.
So local government tries to limit tourists from Russian and Ukraine coming to Bali.
I guess you’re right about that but I still meet a lot of people beautiful people from Russia and Ukraine and I think especially the people who are escaping the tragedy should get a warm welcome wherever in the world they are going.
Sad to hear. 95% of Russians and Ukrainians I’ve met have been super nice. I’m in Argentina so maybe Bali attracts a different type
Naw I agree. Russians are rather infamous for being miserable tourists. I hear nothing but horror stories from everywhere they go. Drunk. Rude. Insensible. There's exceptions obv...
Mantab bro....👍👍👍
Love it....❤❤❤❤
terima kasih 😊 ❤️
You can enjoy your stay in Bali if you know yourself. That, for me, is the essence of vacationing there. If you like the bustling nightlife, they have an area for that. If you want kid-friendly spots, there are options too. If you like a retreat or cultural enjoyment, you can find the spots too.
Don't go there not knowing WHAT KIND of vacation you're looking for, then winding up in the wrong area because you were too lazy to do your research, then blaming the whole island or even the whole country.
Thanks mate. That’s some good advice:) thanks for watching and sharing your point of view
This
AGREEEEEE THANK YOU
Kamu uniq bikin kangen budaya adat istiadat dan alam sekitar Indonesia
Cheers for the video Chai I’ve never been to Bali but one thing I do no is there are some fantastic 5 star hotels there,,,peace and happiness as always
Nice one mate:) yes indeed and very affordable compared to others around the world 😁 I still don’t mind a clean 2star hotel myself though 😜 peace ✌️
Nice! I understand what you say. I also think that Phi Phi is not overrated. It's just depends how you look. And what you're looking for.
Good example Phi Phi :) haha we had a great new years there last new years 🥳 Koh Lanta is a bit underrated in my opinion. One of the best islands if not the best in Thailand 😍
Went to Thailand many times, the prices of car rent is almost four times than Bali , we paid 2 millions rupiah for 8 hours
wow Bali ❤ i will go there someday.
It’s actually a super nice place 😍
Bucket list!❤❤🎉🎉
Nice one :D
I went to Nusa Dua much less crowded although I took day trips into Ubud ect when there, I really enjoyed Nusa Dua as I like being by the beach and not a big partier. Bali like any country has lots of places you can go to depending what you want to be around so just find whatever you like whilst visiting the country.
Good to know! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Bali is 6x singapore in terms of size. Large place to explore. Kuta canggu, no no. Ubud maybe OK but the French guy was correct. Go outside of tourist areas.
In another video
You said Bali is overrated 😂
Yeah I think so too mate. I can imagine why people say it overrated because there is so much more to Indonesia. Though I think Bali is such a great place with great people ❤️
@@Do2mifasol-nh3lq one of reason that make it overatted is because too much people. and also too much people (may be halt to 1 million) come to Bali from other part of Indonesia, if we see people sell everything by motor bike, seller on road side etc 90 % of them are come from other part of Indonesia. Other reason : Trash, infrastructure etc (government factor), beach.
Very Nice Island. And Beautiful Beaches. 🙏
💯 thanks again Gert. Have a great one!
I like the Ceningan Islands more, though. Bali is not overrated, overpriced, maybe. Good luck in your search Chai!😊
Haha thanks mate! And yes 😝 maybe overpriced 🤭
Mantap
terima kasih 🙏
I've been to Bali 7 times in 40 years. First time I wasn't thrilled but had fun but I didn't like lots. But 2nd trip I went with different people and did different stuff and loved it. 3rd,4th.....thru to 7th trip I loved it . I feel comfortable now. U got to get to the right place for U. Like anything .....it takes a bit of time to find the "lay of the land" and where suits U. Once U know U way around the place is great. Like a carnival every day
Nicely said Mate 😃 I had a similar experience in Vietnam where I met some people who made my 1 stay not so pleasant. Now I love it over there :)
Bali is so diverse and I believe it has something to offer for anyone😃 thanks
AGREEE! I always tell people before visiting bali. KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING IN BALI. Shitty itinerary = shitty experience
I'm assuming he edited the people he interviewed but they were all fantastic. I'm in Bali this time for almost 3 months now. These people are spot on regarding the pros and cons of Bali.
I always edit the videos :) But I always try to create a video to show a good mix of people to get a good idea what places in South East Asia are like. I hope you enjoyed it 😃 Thanks for saying hi 👋
That’s the reason I bought house in the midle of local village and away from tourists areas ,we can get fresh veggies, fruit with good prices and our house in only 8 minutes to the nusa dua beach and international hospitall 15 minutes to airport .

Indonesia is amazing
Bali isn’t overrated if you don’t have unrealistic expectations. Bali isn’t perfect but it’s a great place to live and also to visit if you know where to go, what to do etc
If you want a place that is less busy and less developed than Bali, there are many other islands in Indonesia close by Bali that you can go instead.
I’ve lived in Bali for about 4 years and can’t see myself living anywhere else.
I don't have to watch the video to know that it's not. Although, I'm obviously biased since I'm an Indonesian myself. But I'd always visit Bali. And Jogjakarta. Those are the two places in this country (that i have explored) from where I didn't come back with my heart complete. Some pieces of it will always be there..
i went to black sand beach in canggu last June. sitting on a couch at an outdoor cafe waiting for sunset. i turned my head around and realize, among hundreds of people on the beach, i was the only local. feeling like a tourist in my own country :(
I'm sorry you had this experience. I hope you still had a good time after all ❤️
@@Chai_Travel yes, i had good time. i think in the global world, this is the consequences we must take. anyway, we need tourists too
So sad for you. This is happening to so many places with mass tourism and mass immigration.
Siiiip
Sanur is much quieter... then off to the island Lembongan or Penida..
Nitip jejak ae lah,..
Malaysia is underrated. Especially East Malaysia on Borneo Island
I have been to Bali September 23 for the first time, i was travelling alone. Sadly i triple broke my left ankle on fourth day. On an unsecured construction site i fell into a sewer canal. A young lady who saw the accident organised three young men who pulled me out of the sewer. Afterwards she called an ambulance. I was brought to BIMC hospital, i had to wait three days for a guarantee of payment document from my german travel insurrance. The hospital called my hotel because they needed to see my passport. The receptionist lady took my passport from my hotel room, my medicine, my computer and so clothes and brought it to the hospital. From this day on she came everyday to visit me in hospital. I had surgery there. After discharge she organised a car which took me back to the hotel. On my last day she drove me to the airport. I am still in contact to her. Bali has the nicest people i ever met. I received so much help from complete strangers, i will go back in 24 - thats for sure! Bali is definatly worth it.
No way! Sorry to hear about your ankle. But such a lovely experience at the same time 🥰 thanks for sharing. I hope your ankle is healed alright 🙏
I am local Indonesian living in Ubud for 2 years now. Is changing toward to negative way I think. At the end of campuhan ridge walk, called keliki village we forced to use local rip off taxi the online taxi denied by local community what an idiotic act. Really shameful. They should manage well. The name of Village Bangkiam Sidem Keliki. Tourist be careful.
Thanks for the warning 🙏 it’s a shame indeed. Thanks for sharing ❤️
i love bali❤
Hi,,bali very nice
Cheers mate 🏆
I Miss Bali 😢
VERY NICE CONTENT BRO❤ LOVELY
Thanks brother 🤗
What makes Bali charming and what made it popular (its people, the culture and the lush nature) is still there. You can still experience that.
It is always harder at places where mass tourism is clouding you from it, the inconvinieces of mass tourism can easily overshadow what is nice about a place.
But everything it is still there if you are willing enough to look for it. "Overated" is just subjective to your expectation.
Crowded doesn't mean overrated.
I totally agree with you :)
Im Indonesian, for me personally (and I think for many local tourists) Canggu is overrated, I dont know why so many tourist there, maybe because before it was cheap (at least cheaper than Kuta), then suddenly so many tourists staying there, clubs & restaurants and now the land is even more expensive than Denpasar if im not mistaken. Other part of Bali still nice, especially if you go slightly the off the grid, like Kintamani & Sideman, and if you are willing to go further like north of west Bali, im sure you can still find hidden gems, but maybe not many things to do there.
I think it used to be a lot more quiet in Canggu. Let's keep the quiet places a secret ;)
Bali benar benar tempat wisata yang bagus
Kami sangat menyukainya :D
As Indonesian i really hope tourist just stay in Bali, not to be xenophobic but i feel like tourist who usually come to SEA are the type of ignorant tourist who only care about partying and they won't care about following the local customs and norms which why there are ALOT of tourist who makes troubles in bali. Not to mention the tourist typically would feel entitled and take advantage of our low currency, so they will act like king here which is very annoying. I don't wanna those type of tourists ruining our country.
Oh ya not to mention alot tourists and "digital nomads" in Bali really act like they own the island, many of them don't even really interact with the locals and view the locals as their "servant"
Thank you for sharing your point of view. Unfortunately I can see what you mean by. Though I hope you also see that there are many tourists coming to Indonesia who are very interested in many more things than just party and beaches. I feel very fortunate to be here.
Kalau bukan orang bali maka sebaiknya kita nggak usah ikut2an ngomong....itu urusan orang bali...mungkin mereka juga butuh pariwisata
Bali = Benidorm ha ha I am not travelling to Bali to see again Europeaans.
Thumbs up 👍 Champ
Thanks champ 😃
The traffic, one of solution maybe the government can built locak train krl/krd/mrt/lrt and built better public transportation like transbali bus or small modern angkot like wara-wiri or jaklingko system.
I have heard from so many people say that Bali is similar to Thailand, but so much more EXPENSIVE. They say just stick to Thailand where your money goes further.
Bali is just one tiny Island in Indonesia,.if you think Bali is too expensive, go to a place like Yogyakarta in Java then, you get the same traditional vibes but cheaper or just explore more,.Indonesia is not only Bali tbh,.
Come to labuan bajo
There is no place like Bali in Thailand :) also if you compare Phuket with Bali the prices are very similar.
The whole country compared to one island, smart geography
❤ indonesia
many foreigners only know Bali, Lombok & Java. but, come on guys. Indonesia is a biggest archipelagic country in the world. There's 17.000 thousand island in Indonesia. There are so many beautiful places that you can visit.
Sure. But Bali is easy. Connected. Speaks English. Well documented, so people know what they get into. Go out of Java, Bali, lombok you barely find anything on it... Bali also has nice hotels, restaurants... And people want to instagram it 😂
@@kirang33 larger Islands via Airports, but Ferries are prolific since you can bring your bike or car or truck incl cargo. And they're cheap.
If you travel for nature, beaches, food, entertainment, hiking or just live a chill life, Bali is not overrated at all.
If you go there with big expectation & just spend around foreigner again, spots, & places, while expecting a very cheap prices. Well, Bali is not a place to be your cheap paradise.
Nicely said :) I couldn’t agree more
Bali is very hot and humid - especially from December to February. All day and night, you are being cooked! Alcohol is very expensive in Bali - especially red and white wine. It's approximately 300% to 400% more expensive than most developed countries such as Australia, USA, France and Italy. The main beaches from Kuta to Canggu are very dirty and polluted. Most of the restaurants and eateries are catered to foreigners - so it's expensive compared to Thailand and Vietnam. 3 to 4 nights in the main towns is enough. Use the rest to go North into the mountains, East or South. The seawater is a disgusting brown color due to the dark sand. If you like pristine blue beaches, visit the neighboring islands such as Nusa Lembongan. It's a short boat ride and very cheap.
sepertinya pemerintah perlu membangun jalan raya khusus roda 4, supaya lokasi jalan di di pemukiman atau tempat wisata tidak terlalu macet.
itu akan menjadi misi besar 😱
You're part Indonesian? Can't wait for that video
Yes I am :D We're slowly getting closer to my roots 😍Thanks for being part of this journey
Can’t people do a little research before going and get a good idea of what to expect, get out of the bars and experience the beauty of the people and culture,
Ask the Balinese what they think of drunken winging tourists.
personally? no, as an indonesian i don't think Bali is overrated, been to Bali multiple times and kinda think Bali especially Ubud as my 2nd home, i do want to explore the north (been here once but not enough imo) and east of Bali more though, and go hiking at Gunung Agung
Nice one :) thanks for your input 🤗
Been 3 times and not likely to go back. Constant harassment from street vendors taxis and motorbike taxis was just a pain when you're trying to relax. I would have liked to buy something but if you just happened to look at something as you walked past the owner would be on you like a mongrel dog on a garbage bag. Got to the point we didn't want to leave the villa unless we pre booked a Bluebird to go where we wanted to avoid the hassle. People were nice when you got a chance to talk to them though.
I’m sorry you had such experiences. We were very surprised not many people try to hustle us considering the amount of tourists here.
That was my experience. Constant harassment by vendors. Couldn't catch my thoughts without interruption. People are nice.
@@Karim-so9jcwe're really sorry about those harassments, the locals have tried to curb them but they always sprung out like grass everywhere. Even I, an Indonesian, have almost fought with one of them because they pushed my niece just to sell a bracelet. Other than that tho, if you're firm in saying no, I believe that they will leave you alone given 5-10 mins.

Bali is not overrated, it just overcrowded. In the future when indonesia economy growing bigger, we need to rethink the rules of this over comercialism bali. The nature must be save.
Yes, it is.
Arguable ;)
I've lived in Bali since 2002. In that time I have seen it improve and then deteriorate drastically. Today Bali is over-rated. Peak Bali is about a decade in the past.
Bali the best
Haha, well it's great at least ;)
Traffic is bad there. I think subway or elevated railway is very important.
Yeah I think so too and they are working on it :D
Silahkan anda ke tempat wisata labuan bajo ,pasti anda akan tertarik
Terima kasih tipnya 😃 kami harus melanjutkan kunjungan berikutnya
for me Bali is for having fun on nightlife like drinking alcohol and then after hectic with music and meet new friends eating local foods and then if you lucky you can go back with new friends back to hotel😄
I think that’s pretty much the vibe most Aussies have of Bali and don’t take this the wrong way but I think that’s part of the issue. There’s nothing in that itinerary that is about experiencing the culture, people travel to places like Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, etc because those places have a unique cultural experience, Bali it seems for most people is about getting wasted and lounging around in your resort the next day
Bali is a nice country
It's on of the many islands in Indonesia.
Bali
THE FRENCH OLD MAN IS RIGHT 💯 ✅️ MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 IS AMAZING.
Haha I agree 😉
all of my life living in Jakarta, i trip to bali once...Lol
Hope you enjoy it 😃
I've been to Bali twice and like it, but it lacks good swimmable beaches of the kind you get in Thailand or the Philippines.
:) thanks for sharing your thoughts
🔴 Bali is indonesia's No. 1 Tourist Destination & one of the Best in the world 🏆
Someone who said bali-overrated , They Must be JEALOUS to Bali 🗿🤫😂😂😂
I don’t think people can be jealous of an Island to be honest with you :)
I hope these foreign tourists can go on holiday to Indonesia other than Bali, especially to my hometown, Tasikmalaya, which still has minimal foreign tourists. It seems cool when foreign tourists come to my hometown so that it is ready to face foreign tourists. hehehehehe.
Haha yeah fair enough:l :) you live in a beautiful country 🏆
Dimasa depan org akan kembali ke Alam dimna org akan membutuhkan relax alam lebih penting dari pada gedung gedung pencakar langit😊
Aku pikir juga begitu :)
I have lived here for 5 years now and a lot has changed since the pandemic. Some many rice field has disappear and turned into a concrete jungle. The genuine bali is slowly eroding with commercialized westernized stores and services. Tourists don't see this well but it's eroding Balinese culture little by little. I hope there will be strict regulations and checks how the land is being used and also attributes authentic cultural and natural zones that should remain truly authentic in native Balinese style.
Your observation is insightful and concerning. Thank you for sharing.
Most of the garbage ends up in the sea or gets burned on the side of the road unfortunately
