DRONE OVER SURFERS - Bali Day 2

[@vagabrothers]

Helmets you two!!! Need those guys! Safe travels!

[@NessieJudge]

Sawyer, 200 thousand is literally nothing. That's roughly how much Indonesian has to pay when we break the law too. Helmets are a must, it's a safety requirement.

[@riadiansyah258]

Nessie Judge stop senyum senyum

[@craigo4362]

Wow, imagine letting your girlfriend walk alone in the dark in a unfamiliar location. On the same day your friend told you they got robbed by the police.

[@ritankarsasmal380]

seriously, that is strange and dangerous

[@kdgurl94]

I'm not pointing the finger, but it was raya's decision. You can't really blame louis

[@caesaranthonyrnrnt7330]

Reckon it was cause Raya doesn't like how Louis insists on recording while driving (hence the wobbly bit)

[@RobertoIvanGondokusumo]

let me clarified something..... ( im from indonesia and i do lived in bali times to times). foreigner can drive motor bike and cars, but you guys need the appropriate license car license wouldn't work as motor bike and vice versa. NOT Wearing helmets or not waring the appropriate helmets is a crime. if u get caught doing those stuff and the police ask for bribe just point ur camera and start recording and tell them u will send this video to the KPK ( which is the indonesian anti corruption orginazation ) other then that ASK THEM TO WRITE A TICKET, and pay the em legaly. Enjoy bali.... cheers

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Always best to take responsibility and pay the fines if we break the law. No matter where we are. :) Setuju!

[@chellyd.7977]

Yeap, gotta know what you might/are/will be dealing with when travelling.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Andrea G. Panganiban Great advice!

[@KatesBeautyStation]

Ahh I need to go to Bali :)

KatesBeautyStation me too ;)

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

Yesterday, everyone wanted to go to Bali. After this revelation from Sawyer, I think most viewers will definitely think twice before considering a visit to that awesome place.

[@flipside4424]

those scumbag cops. Sawyer should have reported them to the US embassy in Indonesia.

[@pajarolibre3023]

those scalawags are just waiting for a good opportunity and timing to take advantage of tourists who they think will easily get scared and give them money immediately. Imagine paying that huge amount for just a minor offense like not wearing a helmet. damn crocodiles!

[@sdfszcrew6833]

1 million rupiah is more or less US$75.00. those are hungry cops really.

[@nisa6231]

aSs kiCker even if he does that, they wouldnt do anything about it

[@melanieperry7689]

Thing is is that every country has its ups and downs.. and sure these police officers may have done something that you might not like or agree, but it is stated in the Indonesian law that you HAVE to own an Indonesia driver license in order to use a motor cycle (new law) due to the increasing number of motor cycle accidents caused by tourists.

[@LilysLand]

Love Louis vlogs, I just want to live a life like his!

[@darrenwood7142]

Your buddy just got robbed and you take a moped with no helmet. What are u thinking. You are in a country with no law.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Hey, I see you guys are in *INDONESIA*! We live in Yogyakarta on Java. Many tourist places here like visiting Merapi volcano. If you come here, would love to meet you guys!

[@DeeAprilia]

Martin Johnson oh hello pak martin!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

***** Hi!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

***** Hi!

[@Andymeid]

om martin, aku mau ketemu klo ke jogjaaa, ada contact yg bisa dihubungi ?

[@christoforushans5183]

hello martin johnson

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Drone shots are epic louis!! More of that on this trip please. YEW!

[@martyncastens]

Loving watching everyone in Bali! I'm sure it's on your guys list but Ubud is the first place we are going to hit up when we ✈️ land!! 🌅🌴 Such awesome vibes 🙏

[@Louis]

+martyn castens yeah we are heading there for some chill time after we explore a bit!

[@martyncastens]

FunForLouis Awesome! Your gonna love it 👌

[@chobono]

Louis, thank you for including Sawyer's account of him being extorted by the local police in this video. Exposing acts of corruption is necessary for something to be done about it. I'm a local from Jakarta myself, but as many of my fellow Indonesians and third-world country viewers have pointed out, this is (tragically) a common occurrence where we're from. Mind you though, Sawyer was violating our traffic law which requires motorcyclists to use helmets (the maximum fine for this is Rp250,000) and obtain a local license for motorcycles (there is a procedure for this in Bali which will grant tourists a license for 30 days). The police officer, however, was extorting him by demanding that he pay on the spot - which is illegal as the police may only write you up a ticket (a blue ticket if you admit to wrongdoing and want to pay the fine through a bank, a red one if you want to dispute the incident in court). The fact that the officer fined Sawyer with the maximum amount and proceeded to take Rp200,000 from his wallet, proved that this was just extortion. Bali and Indonesia as a whole is a beautiful place filled with very friendly and hospitable people. I'm sorry this had to happen on your second visit here (I recall you've visited here before when you were younger). Corruption is rampant because of the poor remuneration of our state employees and police, which is sad, but the nation is working to fix this we assure you. I hope the fond memories both you and Sawyer form here will outweigh this incident. That said, welcome to Indonesia, have fun and humor us by putting on a helmet.

[@Rubrickmusic]

Louis choices for the music of the vlogs are always awesome, makes me want to grab my guitar or keyboard and jam for a while. (But then I don't cause I stay watching the vlog, and then I forget...)

[@subukai]

Police extortion?? Did some Googling and found that 200k Indonesian Rupiah is about 15 USD.

[@kemalrifky2190]

Ed Chin ya but they asked for 1.5 mil idr which is around 100 usd

[@stevebendel]

Lol... but people do get killed for less than that in places like that!

[@TheKatishadow]

Did a bit of research turns out you do need to get an international driving licence for bali or purchase a temporary one for $30 while your there :p

[@aaronmoiche330]

Dear Sawyer, idk if you'll read this but that is something that also happens and is very common in africa, it's true that you sorta broke the rules by not wearing the helmet and all that and you could get into some trouble because of it but for the most part police in countries like that have the upper hand and they decide what to do based on what they feel like doing. It's like when you're a kid and your sibling does something you know they'll get into trouble for if your parents find out so you tell them to do something for you or give you something in exchange for your silence, that's just how it goes and they get away with it because it's completely off record. Moral of the story is that countries like those have different rules from those you might be used to and they work differently so you mostly have to deal with it as best as you can. Hope it helps mate ;)

[@kemalrifky2190]

Aaron Moiche its just corrupt police

[@dogandcrow8479]

Aaron Moiche exactly what I was thinking

[@ferryansony2161]

1:46 it was Salak...some kind of tropical fruit. its awsome actually, its sweet and the meat is white. be careful though, there is a big seed in the middle.

[@CookingwithKarma]

I think the girls should be riding the mopeds and you guys be on the back with the equipment! Poor things looked like pack horses. My favourite flower is frangipani too. They smell amazing! 😊

[@Theendlessadventure]

Love that Louis is traveling with his drone now. I guess he got a proper backpack now instead of that carrying case? If so, good move! Also I know how Raya feels. Got bit by a dog once and now I'm paranoid of any dog that isn't super friendly 🐕

[@Sxvxn]

Im thankful youtube is finally giving me notifications for your videos. I went through a period where I didnt get any.

[@wildatart9766]

Peace out, Enjoy life and wear your helmet!

[@oh_itsjenna]

those "police" were definitely not legit, that's a really popular tactic locals use on tourists anywhere in the world.

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

true! they're just taking advantage of the situation you are in, to get some money for their own benefit, but not for their government.

[@davidmyers9014]

I live in Cambodia and real police actually do this. They extort more from tourist than locals though... but usually if you talk to them long enough and waste their time, they'll let you go for a lower fee lol

[@TheKatishadow]

Did a bit of research turns out you do need to get an international driving licence for bali or purchase a temporary one for $30 while your there :p

[@tessrobinson9792]

Jenna Rae that's so normal in Indonesia you usually only have to pay $10 but obviously they try and rip off tourist

[@metameme_yt]

Sawyer was dumb to not be wearing a helmet. While it sounds like they were pretty abrasive, it's pretty well known if you get caught without a helmet there they are going to pull you over and try get a bribe.

[@badgerlife9541]

Sawyer is ignorant to believe that they actually were the police ;) It's obviously a scam! Anyone can get the uniform and rip off tourists. Also happens in Dominican Republic. Never stop for the "police" there.

[@zen3005onroobet]

ShiaSurprise i didn't know that but good thing i do now

[@metameme_yt]

Yeah they do have fake police as well, but either way even the real police are going to target you, especially if you're on a moped not wearing a helmet. Policemen there are mostly in it for the bribes they can get from tourists.

[@Ian-Hall]

I got pulled in the Dominican Republic once whilst in a rental car, ended up having a proper fist fight with the so called Police asking for speeding money, not sure if they were real Police as they sped off. when hit

[@raulmalh]

And even after hearing that Louis chooses to not wear a helmet, I get the dreads issue but come on let your hair down or something

[@Sebbr0wn]

awesome keep up the good drone shots.

[@g11jdn]

You're so inspirational 😍

[@TriTrina]

Poor Raya, I think i'd have preferred to walk too though xD

[@oOtiniaOo]

Same. Louis doesn't seem to be the safest driver. And then making the bad judgment call to vlog and drive one-handed despite having his girlfriend on the back and not being used to a scooter.

[@TriTrina]

Ya that made me feel nervous watching it never mind being on it with him!

[@oOtiniaOo]

I'd rather drive myself ^^ To be honest I would be pretty mad if my boyfriend would be so careless to risk my health for a vlog.

[@dogandcrow8479]

oOtiniaOo I think Rays should learn to drive

[@akien3444]

Yeah, she should cuz Louis is too careless

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

*COME TO YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA!* We will show you around some fun places if you would like! Keep smiling! :)

[@bagusradityabw6113]

Martin Johnson Hello, Mr. Martin

[@Travellight21]

I can't wait to see Sawyer's video with the footage about the police robbing him. Crazy. Something similar happened to me in Mexico.

[@beckyjanefox]

ahhhh so jealous, come bring your drone out with us next time :) Love it !!!

[@DiscoverWithDima]

Them drone shots! Louis. Amazing! Can't wait to see more of Bali :)

[@whatsnextreisen]

OMG these shots are Awesome!! Was this Echo Beach?

[@mara1014]

I love your videos you put so much effort too them

[@LukeIsRecording]

Whoever reads this, I hope you are having a great day! :)

[@LukeIsRecording]

[@DiscoverWithDima]

Thanks! Hope you have a great day too!

[@cepfins4875]

thats sweet though I hope you all have an amazing day too

[@coolguybrian]

LukeIsRecording no.

[@istrinasuh]

Finally you are here!!!

[@SvenVee]

Good thing 200.000 IDR is still only 15 USD. Still sucks that they have to resort to practices like that :/

[@SvenVee]

and wow that surfer you shot there had a lot of skill! :D

[@Youblar]

I was doing an Internship in Bali some months ago... You were exactly in the same places I was! Reminds me of so man good memories!

[@iloveyoutothemoonandback]

That's called corruption. Very usual in these countries, normally local would pay a small amount of money like $50to the police so they don't get the fine of $300.

[@TheKatishadow]

Did a bit of research turns out you do need to get an international driving licence for bali or purchase a temporary one for $30 while your there :p

[@iloveyoutothemoonandback]

Kathryn Gillies The thing is the snatch their money as a police is not correct, they should issue fines. But the government is corrupted.

[@iloveyoutothemoonandback]

Sandra Põld Lol xD

[@iskandar488]

What do u expect from a third world country..that's how they earn other than peanut salary

[@moketoni]

I was stopped twice by police when I went to Bali. They also asked me to show them the license, they were dissapointed when I show them the international driving license because they couldn't ask for a bribe.

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

As an indonesian.. HAHAHA

[@SandraPotisek]

Echo Beach was one of my favourite places I visited in Bali! I saw the most gorgeous sunset there.

[@madisonowens227]

You're such an inspiration!! Thanks for sharing your incredible adventures with us

[@hippygram]

You could have left Raya at the restuarant, driven home on moped and returned with car to pick her up. Why would you let her walk home alone, in the dark. Not thinking Louis.

[@prestonlowery2265]

Maybe the scooter was wobbley because you were driving one handed...

[@LyamHitchens]

cant wait to be here next year god I'm so jealous of you guys right now back in the UK

[@SofScope]

Looking forward to seeing you ride some waves in the next vlog/s Louis! :)

[@tomwebster7875]

Awesome video Louis such an inpiration

[@ferryansony2161]

2:03 Well the police can't actually give him a penalty for not having an Indonesian Drivers License, even if they did can, its only for Rp 250.000 (around $25). He can give sawyer a penalty for not wearing his Helmet though, for around Rp 250.000 (around $25) for each person. so remember to wear your helmet bro.

[@Rukiakun]

it's actually talked about all over online if you don't have say an international license bla bla not wearing helmet in the more touristy areas if they catch you or see you're a tourist they'll pull you over and try to get whatever they can off you just funny they didn't at least do a little research on that :\ you can actually apply for a balinese license too for 20~$ i believe. that would ensure 0 problems with the police once they see it

[@majidsatriansyah6576]

u should going to the "potatohead beach club" on seminyak beach o "la plancha" on 66 beach! enjoy ur sunset there! welcome to Indonesia

[@arifbudiman4894]

come to yogyakarta in java fun for louis! its great place or magelang u can hiking in mount merbabu,merapi volcano, and andong with amazing sunset. see you

[@RxbSmith]

Love your Vlogs dude. Amazing!!

[@urvashishah1785]

[@lemonjade9967]

Incredible shots

[@MsPolina111]

it's my birthday so the best way to spend it - is watching Louis!

[@killeremma]

glad you went to echo beach - many a good night spent partying till the early hours there dancing round the fire at sand bar

[@neesa7329]

LOUISSS I'M FROM INDONESIA, SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE!! HAVE FUN IN BALI

[@blaze7345]

What villa were you staying in, Its soooo nice?!

[@AlbanGuffroy]

When you are a tourist in Bali you should wear an helmet and have an international driver licence, at least a copy... It's not being robbed but getting fined... They could have seize the scooter until he pays...

[@AJCiti]

Welcome to the third world Sawyer lol

[@melanieperry7689]

AJCiti its not a third world lol

[@callumknowles5592]

melanie perry it is 😂😂

[@raykz543]

+melanie perry indonesia is a third world

[@Shaboh1060]

What type of microphone do you use with your Go Pro?

[@diepegasuss3202]

the snake skin is called salak i live here in canggu i hope to see you around again!

[@theminimalistninja]

does anyone know which camera he's using in this video? I checked the description box but I am unsure which one he is using. thank you! :)

[@hamizahrahmat]

Aaahh... I'm going to Bali for this weekend and I really really want to meet you guys there, hope I got that chance. Is the villa at Seminyak area, because its look like the villa I'll be stay. Oh my, I'm soo excited to go there, even more and more, after I watch this video.

[@ingganasution653]

The fruit you're so confused about is "snake fruit" or "salak" in bahasa Indonesia

[@ingganasution653]

And about the motorcycle thing.... If you don't have the license, at least you put the helmet on so the police won't treat you that way

[@MohamedMudhasarTheGame]

He did have the license but it was for bribery those robbers did

[@axrt]

So Raya was right about the "snake feeling" :D

[@joanabexiga]

I live for drone footage. In love 🙌

[@MarvJo]

SIICK WE ARE ALMOST NEIGHBOURS!!! I live next to echo beach!!! welcome to bali bro!

[@hendibeltz9393]

[@RamonBrito]

The day is complete after watching your vlog bro!!

[@joshuanesbit]

It's the A7S II and the A7RII he uses them with a 28-200mm and a 16-35mm as well as the new Sony 24-70 2,8 zeiss

[@MrLee353]

So rude leaving your girlfriend to walk with the big bag while you were on the scooter

[@SummerVision]

loved all the sea shots!

[@Mayusuuchan]

Becareful of the police scam in Indonesia. It's common here especially for tourist in Bali

[@rahadiandimas3504]

1:39 that fruits is called "Salak" in Indonesia.. you should try it.. the taste is really good, combination between sour and sweet..

[@adzhaniadhari]

LOUIS!! You're in INDONESIA?? Please visit Bandung!!!

[@zekehenderson708]

Does anyone know what he uses to clip his camera on his side?

[@fyeahnate]

Louis, that fruit that feels like snakeskin is called "Salak" in our country!

[@rizqykamila7320]

you should definitely go to KARIMUNJAWA in java island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicolejupiter6622]

The Bali police sound exactly like the majority of the police in South Africa 😂

[@thehollowmonkey1795]

Great vid man Keep it up man

[@nizr6864]

you should try the mangosteen and the snakeskin fruit!!

[@Joybear_95]

[@VanessaVicario]

hey louis, oh how i wish i were in Bali to meet you :( im from Indonesia as well. Medan city. its in North Sumatra Island. so far from Bali hope you can visit medan one day :D enjoy your trip here :D

[@thetonyjacobs]

So where is YOUR helmet Louis?

[@thiswanderfuljourney2955]

Indonesia is now on my bucket list :)

[@scotemanvill5722]

1:43 in indonesia we called it "salak"

[@Anas-li8cr]

just come over my hometown at Phuket, Thiland.

[@FRamadhanti]

Louis I'm so happy that you guys enjoyed Indonesia! You need to grab some food at La Plancha or maybe Motel Mexicola to eat some tacos!

[@valarmorghulis6955]

Hi louis, im from Indonesia and twice a year i often goes to Bali, anyway welcome to Bali, Indonesia, hope both of you enjoy this wonderful island, i guess i would like to recommend one of the most good local cuisine Indonesian foods in Bali, served with buffet style, its named Warung Bambuku its in Sunset Road, North Kuta, beside the Trans Hotel, you will find a small traditional style restaurant with colorful windows you can see from the outside, and thats the place, or ofcourse you can google it :) Try the rendang meat, it taste awesome! ;) Anyway, enjoy your trip and adventure in Bali, love this episode in Bali, and yeah be careful with some cops in Bali, sometimes they play tricks with foreign tourist.. if you still have a time in Indonesia, visit Yogyakarta city its awesome city too, im ready to take you around there, Cheers ;)

[@LittleMissSparklexxo]

Having sawyer in the vlogs is such a throwback to two years ago

[@tajasnothere]

yeah, the exact same thing happened to my family when we were in bali, but we were in a long (5-6 hr) taxi to a different part of the country. Happens sometimes in thailand too, although probably not as often.

[@SayHiToMatthew]

how much was that in USD?

[@thaurelia]

SayHiToMatthew it's like $150 usd

[@mariongilroy9321]

SayHiToMatthew it's $15 USD ....

[@rebeccacarlin6103]

I dig Sawyer's thinking on the tattoo/life. Also, that's a good rationalization for dealing with the theft he experienced.
