I am a local, and I have to admit that you are totally understand 100% correct and very respectfull our local, big thanks for this video! These are very important things.

I'm Indonesian. Excellent video, you are 100% on the mark with your tips. Great job. Thank you. Stay safe and hope you continue to enjoy Bali.

THANK YOU for this ! I’m half indonesian and I always get extremely frustrated with tourists who don’t give a f* about local culture ! I’d probably add to this list : dress appropriately according to where you are. I’ve seen people tanning in their bikinis right in front of holy temples…

I ate a truly amazing amount of nasi goreng when I was in Bali. That was 15 years ago, and I still have very fond memories of the entire trip.

Thank you sis, and the most important thing is don't forget to smile and manners when it comes to older people than us

I lived in Bali for 2 years after marrying a Balinese woman. It was one of my life’s greatest experiences. Your tips are useful - especially about driving a motor bike. I have been nearly killed more times than I would like to think. One time a dog ran out in front of me and my wife . We both went over the handlebars and my wife landed on top of me - knocking me out. Be very careful on the road !!!

I've just come back from a wonderful trip to Bali and it didn't take me long to realize all of these things, it's just basic common sense. I've been respectful in every possible way and I've been repaid with the warmest kindness I have ever experienced in my life by the locals. The real reason to fall in love with Bali is the people who live there. Lots of love from Italy to all the Balineses.

I love Bali, absolutely love the people, & the food & the hospitality are incredible. I'm finally returning on the 2nd of August & am absolutely looking forward to it. I only eat the local food & find that local warungs & street stalls are the best places for some of the most incredible , healthy, cheap , tasty meals . I'm also a fruit freak & stock up on local fruits including rambutans , snakefruit & the ocassional durian . This is one absolutely, beautiful amazing, friendly, stunning destination , & anyone that has never experienced such an incredible place, should consider doing so. Bali has absolutely won me.

Mba you're beautiful, you're still inspiring, kind hearted

Number 9 is so kinda important, and it's a daily basis activity. Most foreigners don't talk about this, but I'm glad you did. Edit: Because of some people who keep asking "what if I'm left handed" and some ignorant beings who bring religion matter to this right handed thing, I have to explain it here. First, it has nothing to do with any religion, some countries in southeast asia and in India also have the same habit, no matter what their religion is. Second, if you're left handed, let me tell you that many Indonesians are also left handed and they're still alive, nicely and peacefully here in this country. This habit with the right hand in not a strict rule, it's just something like a behavior that the LOCALS used to do in THEIR OWN LAND, daily and culturally. Just like how you bow to Japanese to show some respect, using right hand to shake hands, giving and receiving in Indonesia is just considered as a proper etiquette. But, normally, we'll understand if some foreigners have no idea about this thing. You'll be okay, I REPEAT, YOU'LL BE OKAY as long as you're being respectful to the owner of the land you're visiting. Have you seen any japanese who k!lls or beats up or spit on a foreigner just because they don't do the bowing? It's not that difficult to understand, isn't it? It's not that deep, duh. It's just up to you whether you want to respect the people of the land you're visiting or just act ignorant after knowing this. Either way, we're all good. 😊

i was in Bali 31 years ago, just for 1 week, it was part of a world trip. i only spent 2 months in indonesia. most of your 14 things are common sense. Still its nice to see the respect you have for Bali. All i remember was the beautiful balinese dances, the food, kuti beach, speaking the language, that was fun!!

Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderful video with us all ❤️

i am from Bali and i am so proud of you for knowing well about our culture and respect about it, thank you so muchh

wow, i totally thought this would just be one of the dumb clickbait videos influencers do these days... but you are very observant, considerate, and compassionate. it's so refreshing to see! you are truly beautiful and inspiring

Absolutely LOVE your posts and videos - thank you! I've gone twice a year for 10 years and I learn new things from you in each of your videos. Hoping to come back this October (my last visit was October 2019). Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing!

You are so kind to consider making this video about the locals. Thank you for this!

Beautiful shots! Glad I could contribute with some of the music!

Three simple things u must do as a good traveller : 1. You smile and you get the trust from local 2. You say hello and you get new friends 3. You feel comfortable and you get the paradise Dont forget we are always wellcome to the foreigner 🇮🇩✌🏻

i hope the foreigners understand that they have to respect every single thing in bali. not just bali, but other province in indonesia and other country in the world too. do not ever complain about the traditional stuffs (ceremony, etc) because it could be really disrespectful and indonesians trying as best as they can to not offending other tribe. follow the traffic rule (use helmet, and if u cant ride motorcycle--or yall often call it as scooter, then dont rent it and just use grab/gojek/uber. not that hard), follow the health protocol by using mask. i dont care if you dont like it or not, just.. do it. just wear it. it's not that hard and it wont make you poor instantly. some indonesians now dont really like foreigners especially humans from australia, russia, and the united states. cuz they be making problems and they often doing racist stuff to locals. isn't it funny? you're being racist to the local? arent u afraid that they could just report u to the cops? oh of course not, why would you be afraid? you have money. some of them are being disrespectful even to the cops. THE COPS. wow. where did yall get that bravery? indonesian cops are not the same as american cops. most of them are not racist and they are still poorer than you thought cuz cops' salary in indonesia is not the best. do not, i said DO NOT ever work in indonesia or in this case we're talkin about bali if you're there still as a tourist. it's illegal and you dont know the impact for the locals. you'll close their job opportunities, because you guys have privilege where indonesians can just recruit you easily since you're white. am i lying? no! it does really happen in real life. so, what i want to say is. you can come to bali, you can come to lombok, but dont bring your shit personality here and make a new struggle for this third world country. we are already tired of the corruptors now if you test us with your hard brain, then better not to come here. do not be the bad impact for the locals. sadly, no matter how stubborn you are, no matter how disrespectful you are, indonesians still will welcome you. im saying the truth. we got colonized because of this mentality. and now we are in modern imperialism by you all. i hope the imperialism will give us the good impact.

I have missed Bali so much. Normally we come at least once a year, but covid has stopped us. I love the people, the culture, the food and the beautiful beaches. Planning to come in August, with our 2 year old daughter. See you soon!

Now, You’re balinese people and thank you for respecting our culture i really appriciate that

I was born and live in Bali.. Thank you for your content which is very useful for people to adapt in Bali. I hope that tourism in Bali returns to normal so that many tourists come to Bali again. Thank you..

I've been many times to Bali. I love everything about Bali, it's even gone through my mind to stay there as the Balinese people are the nicest, kindest people anyone could ever meet. Love from Australia. Yes, I do ❤️ Bali.

Thank you so much for promoting our local tradition in Bali hope you enjoy it

No.13 isn’t 100% accurate, It should “don’t enter the temple when you’re in period”, it’s considere you’re in “dirty” time, you need rest and clean yourself. Lots of things to do inside balinese temple not just praying, and we need you to take care of yourself when you’re in period

I am surprised You already know most of the Indonesian culture through Balinese culture this is really amazing information, and now you are Indonesian 👍 👍

this video is really really true, i love how you mentioned not to bargain too low, not to litter and to pay attention on Bali's culture. even for me as an indonesian your video can be applied as well. I love Bali very much and i hope bali can rise from covid effect, so sad to see shops were closed everywhere.

I’ve seen many you tube videos from tubers , traveler’s that have been here for a few months that pain me , yet this from someone living here 26 years , is perhaps the first I found each point really accurate and thoughtful , great job and very aware of your surroundings !

Thank you so much for making such beautiful vlog about Bali, as a Balinese, I really appreciate it. We are welcomed to the visitor who respect our people, land and culture. point 13 about not entering temple with shoes, not all the temple has this rules but yes, some of the temple did not allow us to enter with shoes nor sandals, only with barefoot. do not wearing hot pants to the temple or unproper outfit :) and also for the women who is having period is not allowed to enter the temple as well. Thank you!

Wow, what a very useful tips. I came from another part of Indonesia and still do the same mistakes when I travel to Bali. Enjoy your journey and please come to other province of Indonesia.

I’m Indonesian and you nailed everything!!

Thankyou for sharing this with us. If people are forewarned then there is no excuse for them to step out of line. It makes there holiday more pleasant and happier and keeps the natives happy to knowing visitors are respectful of there culture and beliefs.

Beautiful.....tidak hanya berkunjung tapi juga mempelajari/memahami budaya, tata krama yang ada di bali mungkin juga budaya INDONESIA yang terkenal ramahnya.... Good 👍👍

Thank you, you really respect the people around you, that's a form of a tolerant soul👍

In my opinion, this is the best tips and tricks about do and don't in Bali. And honestly, it only take one Indonesian proverb to help you my tourist friend to enjoy Bali or anywhere else. That proverb is "di mana bumi dipijak di sana langit dijunjung" which simply means give some respect to place where you living right now. Keep up the good video, matur suksma :)

I am not Balinese, and I understand Balinese customs. You really respect Balinese culture, thank you, and spread the good news about Bali,,,,, greetings from Cianjur, West Java

Terimakasih gypsy🙏 sudah mewakili dan menyampaikan pesan kepada semua orang umumnya...inilah kultur budaya , adat istiadat di Indonesia😇👍👍👍 saling menghargai hormat-menghormati serta ramah-tamah terhadap siapapun tanpa membedakan suku atau ras.🙏 I LOVE YOU Gypsy God bless U🥰

Thank you for being a respectful and responsible traveler

Good tips. Knowledge and respect of the local culture everywhere, will give you a much better experience.

Bali is amazing island. I love nature, culture, people and ambiance in Bali. This place so unique. We never found in any place

It's so nice when heard you giving sympathy to the local cuisine and local job for feeding their family. respect to you

I am so happy to come across your vlog! Your reminders show how considerate and thoughtful you are as a person. Bali (and Indonesia in general) needs more visitors like you. May you always have wonderful times in Indonesia ❤️

May your journey in Indonesia be a journey that has meaning in your life. I love every vlogs you provide. I like the way you convey everything in detail. so success is always beautiful.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing this. It’s very helpful and important for tourists..

Thank you for caring. As an Indonesian, I am grateful to have you as our visitors. Have a great time while youre here!

I love this video. Thank you It feels like a "How to respect Bali and Her people" and a "Here are a few customs that you may not have known about" video.

You are absolutely right, understanding and respectful. Thank you. Just follow her advice to be happy and fun in Bali.

Such a great video, thanks! Didn’t know about left and right hand, i’ll keep it in mind 🙌🏼

Thank you for sharing travel tips to the new traveler, as a Balinese i do appreciated what you did, through this we could reducing miss understood and that is the way we learn the place we travel and also what we called cross culter understanding, you did a great job ! Bravo !

This is one of the best vlog about Bali, thanks Ms.

Great content and it’s very insighful.. and i really love the bali scenery captured on this video.. wonderful..

It’s been several years since I was in Bali. Unbelievably beautiful! And the people are wonderful. When I told a shop owner in Ubud I was an architect, he showed me his home. It was vert memorable and beautiful. I bought a wonderful hand-painted modern artwork from a gallery, and since it was a formal gallery I wasn’t sure if I should bargain, so I didn’t and paid asking price. 😀 I just hoped they were as happy as I with the sale.

Thank you for sharing things that are very important for tourists to Bali to know. I'm a Balinese living outside the island of Bali and I really admire what you have to say here. I hope you feel at home living on an island with thousands of temples. God bless you.

Hey, thank’s for that! Bali is always a great destination. As indonesian, i feel happy to find out that tourist should know what the do n the don’t😊

Excellent advice and very accurate and helpful information. Well done!!

I love your vlog ^^ I am indonesian and i glad others tourist can make daily vlog like this and present the kindness of Bali I hope can meet u at Bali

Beautiful thanks hun,I am thinking of moving to Bali soon..! So they were good tips. 😊✨☀️

great tips thank u sm, u are very respectful to the local too

Thank you so much for supporting BALI and Indonesia. Good luck for you 🤓❤️

I thank you and really appreciate what you did with video🙏. Hopefully all bleesing come to you in so many ways 😘

Thank You for sharing our culture to other people, it’s very important that people out there know what you just explaining , I hope then all the tourist will understand and be more respectful to our culture and tradition in Bali 👍

Some awesome tips , be respectful to locals is the major I reckon. I'm in the process of moving there for good. Thankyou your insights they are very important.

Ubud is marvelous, was there for 10 days for a wedding. What an exciting place to visit. Was worth the day of travel each way.

I lived in Bali for a year and a half. These are spot on.

thank you for the brief and clear explanation we Balinese are proud of guests who can appreciate our culture in Bali🙏

1 more tips for me as Indonesian, our local foods is majority spicy. Ask or/and try a little bit of the food first. ☺ Anyway, tries other islands other than Bali, too. You guys will be surprised 😅 (Indonesia has many places and diverse cultures as well) 🥰 - love from Magelang, Central Java. (Where Borobudur Temple a.k.a the biggest Buddhist Temple in the world stand)

Just started planning and came across your video. Super helpful, I must say! Thanks so much for the tips :)

Thanks, im Indonesian and this is so right! Glad to know that you enjoy and learn something from Bali

100% accurate! 😄 Great tips and video! Well done!

Respect❤ we need more people like you to come to bali

I am visiting SE Asia for the first time and I'm spending about 10 days in Bali. A friend lives in Ubud and part of the time she will be my guide. I've traveled to other countries that also are sensitive about being handed something with the left hand. A good heads-up for sure.

thank you for your advice and experiences while in Indonesia/ bali, your advice is so amazing and inspiring

big respect and thank you for your advice and I hope this applies to us as local tourists too. and for foreign tourists it would be wiser if you visit Bali not to get drunk and make trouble in public places.

about bargaining things, it depends on what u bargain. mostly in tourism spots or areas in Indonesia, the prices of some things are more than twice or even thrice than normal. so for instance if the stuff is priced 200k, you actually can bargain it to 50k and the vendor is still gets profit. but once against, depends on what stuff u gonna buy. stuffs like (most type) of batik are indeed expensive, so dont bargain too much, but t-shirts, keychains, fridge magnet or some sort, u can bargain it like half the price or even more sometimes.

good point, and it doesn't only apply in Bali but applies to all parts of Indonesia , i hope u enjoy in indonesia

I have returned a few days back from Bali after a six day trip. Balinese people are very nice and friendly. As tourists, we must reciprocate the courtesy they extend to us. Everything you have said is quite accurate.

Hi, on behalf of Indonesians, I humbly thank you for sharing this to other tourists, these are very descriptive and spot on! how you could compile this list of big no nos I have no idea lol. You're a very attentive person :)

I am really really want to thank you for your advice and 100% Understanding about Bali and all of place in Indonesia, Suzan. Its an amazing dan respectfull for local Community in Bali Island. We love you so much Suzan.

Hey I'm the local and I do appreciate ur willingness to share all these things. Impressive!

Thanks for sharing. I have been going to Asia for decades but never been to Indonesia. You're helping me get there! Thanks for the lessons.

Number 3 and 4 are the hidden road culture in all parts of Indonesia. I’m amazed that you realised and covered this

This is such an amazing explanation. Though i am Indonesian who live in Jakarta. I really want to know about this. 😊 thank you

So helpful! We will be coming in around 2 months, so really appreciate your video :)

Excellent info. I've just returned from Bali in the last 3 wks. I'm heading back in 3 wks for another 6 wks. Great food, scenery & hospitality. The people are superb. I never eat Western mls while I'm there. Only balinese food . To anyone heading to Bali, get out & enjoy what this amazing place has to offer. But please show the people & the country respect.

Thank you very much for explaining and teaching Indonesian culture, especially Bali.. Have a good vacation..

You must visit Mount Bromo, Ijen Crater, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Lombok Island, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat and many other beautiful places, because Indonesia is not only Bali, there are many other beautiful places. but thank you for educating and showing the beauty of Bali

Love these advices. Appreciate it.

Nice, you have good understanding of local wisdom...appreciate it!

This vlog is awesome. Thank you for share this to the world. As one of Balinese, I highly appreciate refers to the content of this video.

YAS , we need more people like you who understands different cultures and respects the traditions and the locals....Too many awful tourists in Bali over the years...

Hi...I agree to what you have explained...as an Indonesian I really appreciate it...come again..and enjoy Bali...our true paradise...

Thank you for your understanding about Bali. Really respect to you

I totally agree with: "Don't come to Bali just for one week"

Thank you very much for being in the country of Indonesia, enjoy with the hospitality and clothes of the hearts of Indonesian citizens :)

That's Bali, a thousand smiles, a million surprises

thank you for bringing up about the litter and being respectful to the locals. I have seen some tourists treated the locals (waiter / waitress) very rudely.

Beautiful! I am Balinese and proud of you miss. Thank you for educating!

I have been to Bali many times, and this advise you have given is 100% correct, Beautiful people.
