Yes! Great point. All the other Bali KZfaqrs are showing a huge influx of locals. Due to the holidays. So there is a double influx, of bule tourists and local tourists.

Not really … two bedroom villa was cheaper before pandemic as today

Do you live in Bali?

@@anna_m59 the pandemic completely stopped tourism and hurt so many people. Of course they will raise prices. People need to make up for lost income.

@@anna_m59 wow it’s as if real estate value increased like usual

Facts

Well said. If they have any problem with those situation, then it is their situation not Bali nor the others. Bali is back and it is supposed to be like that.

Exactly. They were living very cheaply during the pandemic and they’ve either forgotten about the actual prices or they never knew. Regardless they need to accept reality and stop complaining.

What I see is more expats moving to specific areas that are open and opening "western" style restaurants and shops and zero account for keeping the islands culture alive. Its just turning into a giant europe where every resto has the same menu and a coffee shop every 20 meters. Its created a huge market bubble in the Canggu area due to other areas having slower movement opening. it will backfire soon. I wish expats would support the local warungs more, Balinese culture is so beautiful.

@@anatta467 PERFECT ANALYSIS 👋👋👋👋👋

@@anatta467 only the government can step in and not issue licences to wester like established cafés and restaurants. But that means losing out on money.

Its nice to make Bali is more expensive. Limited people will come and Less trash tourist here 😅

I agree totaly...Canggu is not Bali..

Yep Canggu and all of South Bali is crap, i stay up in Tabanan Aouan with my famiky innthe mountains...awesome and sooooo cheap.

All the Newbs to Bali hang out in places like Canggu, Semencrap, Kunta, and Legian. Hahaha great places if you want to get but reamed everyday by sellers and everybktger Indonesian pretending to be Balinese to get your coin. Canggu was awesome about 25 years ago when we used to surf it to ourselves, as soon as places get the Eurotrash crew time to move on.

Our pleasure!

We have been in Bali many times before, traffic was always pretty bad but it has shifted towards Canggu which does not have infrastructure to handle it.

You are so welcome!

Thanks!

Hope you enjoy it!

@@jayandalina We will. You never know, we might like it and move there too.🙂🙏🏽

Ubud is SO expensive now. I’m paying more here than I would in Australia

@@cyjohn1083 how so? Can you elaborate

@@cyjohn1083 no you're not lol

I was at Padang bai with my partner last December 2021. Guess what, i’m a local and the inns and restaurants prices were out of my expectation! It was crazy high ..

He was lucky to find that place!

same here, planning to go to Ubud on July, but lets see xD

Hey where you locating from ?

Ubud accomodation price is raisin up so high after pandemic compare to kuta or north bali.

@@darfandarfan707 damn :( Hope not too much

@@alvarolatova2515 actually i compare some hotel/resort that i ve booked few months ago, they raisin up 4 to 5 times its price for this month forward.. such insane

Our pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

No problem. Our accommodation is our privacy however😊

@@jayandalina have you been somewhere else as Ganggu..Semyniak,Legian or Kuta..?..i mean real Bali not only tourists spots ?.called bule land...

@@josephvogt6163 You call Kuta or Seminyak a real Bali?

@@jayandalina Semyniak,Legian and Kuta are not real Bali...most of the tourists are not interested by the balinese culture, the real life of the balinese people..They stay in the south of Bali just for fun..

Hi, at first, we got b211 visit visa offshore, then extended it as many times as needed.

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

problem is many Indo Nationals come from java and drive down rather than fly. So adds to more cars

The problem is that half of Jakarta found out about a little island called Bali as a reasonable holiday destination, however they only use cars to get from A to B, they are too posh for scooters and walking for more than 15 meters is impossible, since high risk of getting tanned.

@@jayandalina masalah ini bukan orang jakarta. Kalau kamu membutukan funksi nerjemahkan untuk mengerti pesan ini, kamu suda tahu yang mana yang masalanya... Think about it 😉

Oh would love to hear of some good eating spots? We’re coming in August.

Hi, anywhere outside of Canggu/ Seminyak. Check Sanur.

Basically.

I agree! I think of this as modern colonialism. Western people come, live in houses, build resorts and the prices rise high. For tourists and outsiders it's still cheaper, but imagine living there every day. People are fighting to get around. Women are begging to give you a "manicure, pedicure, massage" just to let their children go to school. And the amount of people who come back with a Balinese wife disgust me (I love to see a lovely couple, don't get me wrong). It reminds me of the 'Njai', during the colonization a lot of colonists took Balinese women as their concubine and did as they please with them. The amount of women being raped by tourist is insane. Yes prices are high for tourists, but the locals are suffering, sitting in tourist's garbage and getting nothing out of it. All the money goes to resorts exploited by foreigners. If this isn't modern colonialism tell me what it is. It's sad our government need to do something indeed!

@@matar7717 gantrification is happening everywhere even in US and Canada when we adopt too liberal policy.. i think our government try too make Bali less dependent from tourism with jagat kerti Bali, build toll road in Mengwi and green economy.. but it just happened and still waiting for 5 years more.. i think balinese government should make moratorium rlfor land and property owning by Foreigner until balinese economy strong enough and less dependent with tourism

@@BusFansWNG2024 Very right indeed! But even tough the government is acting against this phenomenon, it will not be enough. The problem also lies in the glorification and exoticism of the island. I was walking in the bookshop the other day and saw a book from Taschen 'Living in Bali'. The book contained beautiful pictures of villa's. A depiction of a lifestyle no Westerner could refuse. The advertisements next to bus stations with 'jaw dropping prizes' next to a beautiful beach sayin that paradise is just 700 eur away. Even if the government succeeds in regulating tourists, the glorification will still happen (maybe even more). Nothing has changed since 1800, 'Orientalism' then has just evolved to fit our time. It happens everywhere in the world indeed, but it pains my heart to see this in my motherland. Starting to be less dependent of tourism is step one! You are correct, but it can not work, in my opinion, without a change of mentality of the tourist. I'm sorry for my blabing. If I may ask do you live in Indonesia?

@@matar7717 i'm financial analyist living in Jakarta.. last time visit Bali in OCT 2019... Actually i worked in gov planning agency in 2019-2020 for tourism and forestry departemen. Despite working at Government agency, I'm against development of north Bali airport and other infrastructure project that makes Bali even more dependent for tourism.. i glad for covid 19 can slowing down land conversion to building. I think tourism site like Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur is enough... And don't expand Canggu like tourism site in north or west Bali.. let north and west doing another economic activity based one natural resource as like tea or coffe plantation, farming, fishing, permaculture and little bit manufacture. Visiting Bali is always enjoying. But better for me visit north like Ubud, Lovina, karangasem and spending all my money there rather than in Kuta or Canggu. Actually when Mandalika infra is done, tourism in Bali split to Lombok and i think good news..

@@BusFansWNG2024 Where can I find Information about the mass raping of Balinese women by tourists? Second question is what determines a “lovely couple”? Thanks

Villa bamboo...sangat indah buat anda..tapi kalo pas natal setiap pelosok bali pasti akan sangat sibuk dengan wisatawan ... Tapi anda tidak akan menyesal ketika anda berlibur ke bali..ketika anda pulang ke negara anda...anda akan merindukan bali( indonesia )...tapi jika anda ingin berpetualang pulau komodo pilihan tepat..

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5yKnNpp2N6XmYU.html Jika anda tidak ingin menikmati alam semesta...anda akan menginap di laut selama 2 hari 3 malam dengan biaya sangat murah...dan anda tidak akan menyesal

@@evrandtrend1851 Kok, orang tanya pake bhs Inggeris, dijawab pake bhs Indonesia. Pasti ga paham.

Just outside Kuta $20/night are new hotels near airport so go online and search and deal directly with them. Don't rush it either $6 taxi fare so get to know the shady ways by online experiences of others first eg money changers on the street can rip you off too :)

Hi, we dont have a dog.

I was in nusa dua a little while ago, things are slowly opening up. Mainly saw resorts open, but also some warungs.

GoJek.

Guesthouse is okay online, even 1-2 nights, see how it feels and decide to stay longer on change. But the worst case scenario you will lose 10$ instead of 150$ as for 2 nights in the villa.

@@jayandalina Last time I was in Bali It cost me $35 for a month! It's who you know I guess. I had a great little place at the back of a brothel and lived across from where the girls live. It was a long time ago now , but I still keep intouch with a few of the girls which were only good friends and nothing more.

Hey! There are but you need to put effort yourself a do search on FB groups!

No problem. Dont know much about Lombok😊

We will be going to Europe for the summer.

Everything in Europe is much more expensive right now. Groceries for 2 people/week easily cost €100, fuels also expensive, breakfast for 2 cost around €30. So for us, Bali still much cheaper😉 Thank for the update!

Have fun.

Starts at probably 400+ Million IDR/Year

Appreciate it, thanks

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful!

There is a service charge almost everywhere. Not sure if it goes to staff and we tip once we are happy with the service😊

Vietnam is half the price and the locals are really friendly, as are the Balinese.

But thats not true.

@eddie mclaughlin that is more than ever and it is still not holiday season

Dunno what you mean by us letting it happen? Tickets are more expensive because many airlines have not restarted all connections, they've suffered and continue to suffer losses due to covid. US airlines that dropped mask mandate are now cancelling flights because of staff shortages related to covid. Many people in Bali have lost their businesses, many people around the world have lost their loved ones. You just have to pay more for a ticket...

buuuhhh my indonesian cousin lives in Europe ☠☠☠☠☠☠

@@bambina5604 that’s what I mean ! I have had COVID my whole family is recovered! We have had No vaccination. There is something wrong going on. Same as that stupid war in Ukraine. It stinks

@@bambina5604 it’s nothing to do with “Covid” it’s all part of the plan to crash the economy so we can go cashless. Stop taking the governments word for everything, they do not have our interests in mind.

But Australian masses will probably still fill Bali supply. But then it would remind me of Phuket which was expensive and just gave me a feeling that I'm seen as a piggy bank by 9 out of 10 locals.

Agree and Vietnam to us was far better. Phuket I would give a wide birth compared to Bali or Vietnam :)

@@NerisaFinau I totally agree with you! I found Phuket to be a toilet, we have been to bali several times and always loved it ,but for me it started to change about 5 years ago when masses of Japanese and Chinese started coming,they only travel around in coaches not using taxi,scooter etc and the Chinese at buffet breakfast would fill there bags up with food,the local staff detested them and at some of the shopping malls prices reflected what they were prepared to pay ($ 130) for a polo shirt!!!!!! We used to stay at the padma legian, but the basic rooms are above $ 400 AUS pn !!!!

Every time we are in Kuta we cannot wait to leave😊

Absolutely agree.

Once we get back from visiting our friends and family outside of LV, some more vlogs will come!

We left Bali a month ago.

@@jayandalina oh! Didn't see those videos yet, will check out your Latvia vids 🤙

You can buy travel adapter anywhere.

Where do you recommend going or staying?

@@duhbead at least stay in Ubud and meet balinese people, not foreigners, they will be very happy to be your friends, to invite you in your village, your family or go to Amed..but please not in Canggu where only foreigners stay..

@@duhbead Munduk, D'Rus Villa for an authentic village stay, brand new and close to waterfalls and paddy fields etc.

@@josephvogt6163 I went to amed, it was great. Thank you!

Yes Bea, thats what we’ve been doing the whole time. Trying to scare people😉

Bali seems to be back to normal of tourist destination, party place in Changgu, loud young ppl getting drunk, driving fast and breaking the quiet it once had.

I lived in Da Nang. Great place.

Never bothered.

GoJek?

@@jayandalina And your opinion is changing a culture to fit your wants? Move elsewhere if it's so bad. Typical expat.

Yeah, you can get in without but with 5 days of quarantine.
