This is good travelling advice regardless of where you are going or from where you hail, actually. Thank you for baring your souls for us. Sharing is caring.

[@brucehalpin5845]

You made no mention of using local drivers for long trips. They will spend the day with you and look after you our driver has become a good friend and travels with us when we tour around Bali.

[@Vinagain7]

Hi, can you recommend any trusted drivers?

[@kubenmoodliar477]

Good to know this. Thank you 🙏

[@Lukas_6_ayat_12]

my advice as an Indonesian: regarding dengue fever mosquitoes come out and suck blood only during the day not at night, so use mosquito cream regularly during the day

[@LloydandMandy]

Thanks for the advice!

[@drippingout6154]

@@LloydandMandy DBD mosquito = white and black color

[@piddlehead8]

[@sukandigunawan207]

yes indeed if we live on the coast of course the water will make our hair or skin a bit sticky, it could also be due to the sea air, but if we live in the hills or mountains the water is very fresh and nice

[@ranjeetdevckar8414]

Thanks for this video, very well made and to the point. I'm doing a 20 day trip next month (first 7 days alone and then the fam joins in). Excited about diving around the reefs, the hikes and of course socialising with some fellow travellers. Any specific recommendations for meeting new people during my solo days on the island? Thanks again!

[@LloydandMandy]

Hey Ranjeet! We've found the best way to meet people is to stay at guest houses or to join group classes! Lloyd does Jiu jitzu and Mandy does yoga and we've met many people this way. There's every kind of class here you can think of, so hopefully something that suits you! Safe travels to Bali, and thanks for watching our channel :)

[@ranjeetdevckar8414]

@@LloydandMandy Thanks. I'll have a look to some Yoga classes as I've got a good background of doing yoga since covid started. Would also love to see an updated visa and general travel related video, I heard about some price hikes and also additional countries added to the VoA. Thanks once again!

My introduction to Indonesia was the chaos known as Jakarta, but Kuta remains the only place in Asia where I've been physically accosted by a shop owner.Even pre-pandemic, there was a level of desperation that stunned me. I had some persistent beggars in Cambodia but no-one laid a hand on me.

[@kooldude123]

Great video, agree with all of these. Also something most people don't know is that you can open a local bank account on a b211a visa. You just need a recommendation letter from your visa agent, and they connect you with a local bank who can set it all up. Means you can get the best rates and no transactions fees anywhere in Indonesia by transferring from transferwise to indo bank account.

[@LloydandMandy]

Awesome thanks for the info, and thanks for watching

@@kooldude123 in accordance with Indonesian law.... 1. Membuka rekening bank BCA sesuai dengan alamat domisili yang tertera pada Kitas, Kims, atau Kitap, jika domsilinya ada di cibubur, maka harus mencari kantor cabang BCA yang ada di sekitar domisili tersebut. 2. Membawa Paspor asli yang masih berlaku 3. Kartu Izin Menetap Sementara atau Kartu Izin Menetap Tetap yang asli dan masih berlaku 4. Membawa uang untuk setoran awal sebesar Rp.500.000 Who did you open an account with? Mainstream banks will even require KITAS holders to present their new KITAS every year. Permata are particularly strict requiring head office approval...Mandiri you may get away with, but you deserve all you get if you open and account with Mandiri. Do remember just because it can happen doesn't mean it is in accordance with the law - this is Indonesia, an account that has been opened can just as quickly be shut. It has happened more than a few times to WNA account holders - you'll find a couple of cases on the indonesia forums. Semoga bermanfaat, salam sejahtera bagi kita semua 😁😁

One really important one came to mind while I watched this. Scooters are a cheap and tempting way to get around but make sure you're fully licenced, wear a helmet and check your insurance. Accidents happen and you don't want to be stuck in Bali on life support.

[@quintinasonnie]

For the Sim card, does your phone have to be fully paid off? Because if your phone has a carrier lock, I assume it wouldn’t work. Can you buy a cheap phone there and add a Sim card to it? I have a VPN and I’m also wondering if they have portable Wi-Fi or if that something you’d have to get before hand

Sounds like bringing your own sink for drinking and shower filters or planning on picking one up when you’re there is the thing to do
