Is there any issue with changing Oz dollars for rupiah, using the regular money changers in Bali? How about the banks? And is there a preferred denomination? $100 notes rather than $50s?

In Bali, I noticed that most of the roles that are traditionally done by females, are done by males there. For example, most maids and massage therapists are male. Is this because they have alot more males there?

what r the cheap airlines from bangkok,singapore etc to bali?

So, I've done a pretty extensive search online checking out the different accommodations (bungalows, houses, hotels, etc.) from Balangan to Uluwatu and haven't been able to find a place that has air conditioning. I know, it sounds a bit pre-madonnaish, but the last time I went to Mexico and stayed in a bungalow without a/c I didn't sleep one night without waking up multiple times. It wasn't pleasant.

I've been to Bali before and stayed in Kuta, but want to stay on the Bukit this time. Preferably on the ocean. If anyone knows of a place in that area for around $20-30 USD I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks,

Jason

Is there anyone could recommend budget hotel or guest house less than 30 USD? I need a place with good location, clean and secure.

I have checked www.hostelbookers.com and I am still confuse where is the nice place to stay in Ubud. I prefer place near the beach and easy to catch transportation to travel around the town also enjoy day and night life too.

Pls help

Hi, Myself and my girl-friend are going to bali in a few months.
Can anyone tell me some great night life clubs to go to?, we are ready to party:).

hello everybody

iv got my little heart set on going to bali next year (2010). I plan to stay there for the 30 days my visa will allow, I really want to see and do as much as possible. how much spending money do you think would be a resonable amount to take? considering id probably be traveling all over the island and need money for accomodation/food/travel expenses etc?? all answers and advice are very welcome...


thank you! :)

Me and my friends have planed to go to Bali but we have no idea where is the best area or popular place. We prefer the area which near to all activites and intresting sigseeing places then we can continue to look for place to stay.

I would imagaine that rates at the airport on arrival are pretty poor etc. But I will need some currency to pay for a taxi to Ubud.
Any idea what the rate are like at teh airport compared to Ubud?

In Ubud itself where do most of you guys go to change up your money.

Any pther forms of transport for getting around other than using taxis? Obviously taking a taxi on arrival is probably best with luggage etc.

I'm traveling to Bali this week and just found out about the breaking news regarding H1N1 flu there. Is it still safe to travel to Bali at this time? Is most of the tourist place been closed down due to this?

Managed to get my ticket, my accomodation ( much frustration as most hotel/resorts are booked) and a driver.

And I did mt program last night... just need some experts to help me review it. Will appreciate if you can provide some comments and inputs

Hi all,

Can anyone reccommend a good surf camp in Bali. I'm going over mid December and would like to find somewhere I can chill out and get some surf lessons as well.

Thanks for any help,

Adrian

We'll be in Bali for the first time in April & we're thinking of staying at the Villa Diana Bali hotel...does anyone know if this is a good hotel? We need a hotel with WIFI internet access as we'll be working while in Bali, if anyone has recommendations for hotels in the Seminyak area for a hotel around $50-70 USD, close to the beach/beachfront it would be much appreciated! I've read some reviews that the beach in Kuta is quite dirty & that's one of the reasons we're considering staying in Seminyak. Is this true?

greetings !
looking forward to the trip to the island with four nights stay in May09. thinking of splitting the stay between ubud and nusa dua ? is this a good idea? any recommended accomodation with a budget around USD50-USD60 a night ?

has anyone stayed there and could they give us an opinion. at us$ 50 it is about the only villa we can afford.
thanks for your help

I know it's always a good time to go to Bali, but is January the peak of the rainy season? I don't want to spend my holiday in-doors.

Is it advisable to visit Bali end Dec/beginning Jan?

Hi,

My wife and newborn baby will be travelling to Bali and staying at the Sanur Paradise Plaza in a couple of days. Wondering if there is a cheap and close place to get our clothes washed as we don't want to pay the exobitant high prices at the hotel. Also, is there anything to do around this hotel? eg. inexpensive places to eat, things to see, knock off clothes to buy. I've heard that the locals accept American money but is it better to have Rupias?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looking for a hostel type place (cheap but nice) in southern Denpasar, or Kuta.
6x 18 year olds hoping to stay in cheap but comfortable accomodation, which includes a bar / pool, and acess to the night life area. Also we need transport daily to and from the area of Padang, is there buses or taxis we can get for affordable price?

Can anyone give me an idea what a taxi trip from the airport to a hotel in Ubud cost? What type of taxis can be trusted which ones should not be trusted?

Thanks

One of the ladies at the travel agent has told me that I will have to pay US$25 for visa when entering Bali and they accept only cash and US dollars only, no credit card. Is that true?

There has been some warning about rabies in Bali; does anyone know if it is safe to go to the monkey forest?

Thanks
