Bali We're surprised at Kintamani Today !

[@deetee1968]

The first time I went to Bali was in 1987. So much has changed. Some good, some not so good. There are so many fancy restaurants and hotels now. Good for tourism, I guess...

[@TheMonkeys]

That’s right

[@grahamberesford7438]

Hi Guys. I have been to Kintimani quite a few times now & it really is a great place with magnificent views!. It's a shame it is so cloudy. There are a lot more new buildings since I was there! WOW. Thanks Winnie & Damian. See you tomorrow!!!.

[@TheMonkeys]

See you mate! Enjoy

[@RomfordGuy]

Who doesn't love a nice coffee. ☕👍

[@TheMonkeys]

That’s right!

[@allisonking2942]

Wow so many new restaurants now.we were there our first trip 25 years ago. We had Bali coffee with condensed milk 😅. Very limited food available then to. Not sure why weve never been back maybe next time. Thanks for showing us around.

[@TheMonkeys]

My pleasure 😇

[@urszulab8397]

Yes visited Kintamani years ago, beautiful views 👍

[@TheMonkeys]

🥰🥰

[@pollyangel8564]

It is changing sooo much! The only time I was there (and I’m yr parents age 😂) was to do the 4hr bike trip from the top, it’s absolutely fabulous and recommend it to everyone, so much to see on the way down 🚴‍♀️☕️🌴

[@TheMonkeys]

Definitely 👍🏽

[@fiona4324]

I remember Kintamani from late 80’s. Tourist trap restaurant 😂😂😂😂 there was no escape.

[@TheMonkeys]

[@TheMonkeys]

[@ausjen]

Or the golden arches

[@TheMagicofJava]

Wonderful to see such respect for the Balinese culture of arak in the kopi.

[@TheMonkeys]

Unbelievable isn’t it

[@Paddy_Trotter]

@@TheMonkeys indeed.

[@Paddy_Trotter]

@@ausjen yeah matter of time

[@tomgarnham6232]

Wow! I haven't been there since 2016 ( our tour guide took us to one of those tourist traps 😅😅) It has certainly changed!

[@TheMonkeys]

Its changed a lot since then

[@jmac010]

Congrates on the 30k subscribers.

[@TheMonkeys]

Ahh thanks!

[@filipv190]

I was there around 2010 so you could say it has changed a lot 😅 The '(mainly) Indonesians seem to be enjoying their holiday, so crowded...

[@adamhaber1519]

@TheMonkeys love this channel and the both of you! Recently visited Bali for an amazing 10 nights. Love this place. The 10 sentences video you made, was an absolute game changer as far as interacting with the balinese. People smiled everytime and seemed even more friendly and loved that we tried to learn their language. Thank you guys so much Ps can you make another video of some other phrases locals will love. Adam.

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@grobertson71]

Thanks so much for the fun video, so enjoyable and refreshing, also a good laugh😅 Terima kasih banyak Damian and Winnie 💕

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks 😅

[@lizcarlyle2477]

Hello Damian & Winny! Bali is becoming completely overdeveloped. Did you see any tourists hiking or Balinese praying on the mountains? If it hadn't been 4 Peter & Made of Made's wrung in Kuta, i would have never gotten out of there, as I didn't have $ to cross the lake after being robbed. Beautiful scenery, cool weather but beware of pushy & aggressive types in villages!

[@marmel6339]

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the huge effort on this trip. I watched twice to help with the views

[@TheMonkeys]

Awesome, thank you!

[@fulcashop]

Kintamani sekarang bagus banget.... Minggu lalu saya sudah ke kintamani..... Cantik....❤❤❤❤ Mantab Damian.... 👍👍👍

[@steveth1000]

Pushy sellers remind me of being in Sapa in Northern Vietnam. Something I never wish to go through again. We had lunch in that old tourist trap in 2016. Drivers took everyone to one place, they got a free lunch and maybe more and then we continued on with our tour. No choices back then.

[@ehawolczecki8759]

Great video Damian and Winnie .congrats on the 30k subscribers. Nice views. ,….very busy place.

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks a lot

[@IloveFreo]

Haven’t been up to Kintamani since about 2012. It’s certainly changed a bit. First time was in early 90’s and remember being chased back to our mini bus with the very persistent sellers. Who would’ve thought all those years ago that it would be a place for fancy cafes now. 😊

[@davidmaib677]

Hi guys! Sat in those same seats two weeks ago! Wow! Good to see you all since I always enjoy what you have to say! Took us so long to get home! Take care!

[@suryatitraxler507]

How are you guys thank you for all the info you guys working so hard love you guys take good care much love from California

[@baliroads]

"Only the sellers selling things are the ones who haven't changed" 😂

[@TheMonkeys]

Yeaah

[@surf01er66]

I think I've been to that museum tourist trap restaurant many years ago. Wasn't hardly any shops & restaurants back then....Great vlog, Mahalo

[@dougquinn686]

We were there 2 weeks ago , lovely and better now than what it used to b like.. We went down to the hotsprings by the lake

[@vickokoszka6836]

Your cafe of choice is definately worth a visit and to have good business..... Star Bucks in my opinion.....SHOULD NOT BE IN KINTAMANI!!! UNFORTUNATELY this will be the trend now with every redevelopment of any tourist area, they will start to look the same. I dont have an issue with development......but not to completely strip all the character and the ATMOSPHERE of an area... The local small Balinese family businesses cant compete with these big companies/ investors and will lose thier business. And as more and more locals leave or are pushed out, all the Charm and Atmosphere will be lost....and the tourists that come will never know what was lost. Thanks again for showing what is happening in all these areas....I find it to be very sad and a reflection of the rampant greed that is happening where ever there is money to be made.....😠😡🤬

[@lucillewalks]

Congrats on 30K!

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks!

[@takemetoBali]

The persistent sellers near Segara Village would fit in well with the Kintamani sellers! 😂

[@TheMonkeys]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@misssasha168]

Congratulations for 30 k subscribers :)!.

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks 😊

[@Peterogen]

Thank you

[@TheMonkeys]

Thanks

[@lindysutherland4563]

That's a longggg way to ride the scooter to!!! How long did it take? When I first visited this area in 2004 there were only a few places to eat at along that road overlooking Mount Batur ...it's changed so much 😮

[@TheMonkeys]

It is change a lot and is pretty long journey enough for back pain

[@Travelfun4ever]

Great Video Kintamani looks amazing Australian Prices

[@heidyadriolo4746]

hey guys i like the video off Kintimani when i come to Bali i will visit it thanks for charing

[@Aiken47]

I’d hope food in Kintamani has improved a lot. It used to be so overpriced for what a buffet provided. They were nasty.

[@lubyard6057]

Wow. I find it hard to believe. Yes it WAS a Tourist Trap. Terrible food and such pushy hawkers. And I think 2 restaurants. Our friend Wayan really did not want to take us here. Of cause in those days we made allowances for them as it was not visited by many and they did not have much and my guess is that they still do not have much. Hopefully they will be able to earn from the tourism. Too much reliance on tourism. How I wish I knew what the answer is.

[@robertdimov7599]

I was there last year nice place

[@TheMonkeys]

🥹🥰

[@baliroads]

Love the new PXC mate.

[@TheMonkeys]

Cheers mate

[@janbaruffi7887]

In 84 ..the restaurant was a tourist trap ....lol

[@TheMonkeys]

Yeah lol

[@ChatSafety]

Thank you for your video. After hearing Queen Monkey Starbucks, I agree, if you need to go to Starbucks Bali is the wrong place them. I remember Bali 1988 going there, all you can eat, looking over the mountains I will be nice some times change is not good it spoils it😢😢😢

[@tamaraturnbull1968]

What is the name of place you had coffee please

[@mimig1900]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheMonkeys]

🥰🥰

[@teddykurnia3589]

Can I request you to explore Bedugul area? Is there something interesting? 😊 And what is the cafe's name that you sit and drink coffee?

[@baliroads]

I love Kintamani. Did they try to charge you 50k per person to enter?

[@TheMonkeys]

Well they tried but I was going like 90km/h 🙉😂😅

[@rvbalihomes]

👍

[@oleavillaproject-renovatio6894]
