Great video. Looks like I need to add Bali to my bucket list.

I really like your videos and your commentary & vibe....its refreshing to see a solo man traveller making these videos..seems the "industry" is awash with 20 something couples with a pretty ( usually) young girl helping the views and subscribers along and good luck to them, its great to see you doing your thing, explaining in detail the cost of food, hotels, trips etc which is what everyone wants to know...keep up the good work my friend

We are heading there in March 2023and can't wait. You latest series is a God send. Thank you for capturing the atmosphere ! Gives us something to drool over until we go :)

I've enjoyed this series on Bali, it's getting better by the day! Seems to have got more chilled as you go - Padma Beach area looked nice. And yes, watched to the end. Thanks Sidie!

OMG I didn't realize how much I really miss listening to reggae in Bali until I watched your vid. 1 Week 2 days and I will finally be back there again, yay! Another great update Bali video, Cheers.

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed your video's, I think Indonesia is now on my bucket list, regards from England 🍺🍺👍

Thanks for showing another side to Bali. Another great vid and watched until the very end.

30:09 I just recently started watching your videos, absolutely awesome and fun to watch. What I love is how informative you are and down to earth, the videos are about the place and experience. After seeing the beautiful scenery, friendly people, awesome food, and the great prices, I just need to get there. 👍

Ooooooh the reggae band sends me chills….great performance. ❤

To be in Bali, that close to the beach, for just $8 per night, is an absolute steal. No wonder there looked like there were some people staying long term, at an expected discount, that can't be more than maybe $200 a month!!!!

Yes watched until the end, great info thanks, will be there in 13 days, must get to the Reggae on the beach. I lost count at 55 trips, Bali is my happy place.

Just wow 😮 mate - so many accom choices - pricing is so cheap - and beaches , nightlife - so good - Thanks my friend 👏🙏

Feels weird to be in Bali watching a video about Bali. Great vid! Definitely heading down to Padma and Double Six tomorrow night.

One of your best vids to date imo. Place looks fantastic. Great Reggae bar. Making me want to go there. Would definitely stay in that hotel. $8 a night is a no brainer. Need to check flights from the UK.

That Ibis styles on Padma is my go to, stayed there many times, great value.

Always endure to the end m8. I missed this vid, so now I have 2 in a row. What a treat 😁

Wow Fantastic Video "STL" You made this old gals night. Thanks (TX) Bali is Busy*

Love your vlogs, don't ever stop..your vids are so interesting.. the vibes n your commenting makes it so enjoyable to watch...👍😊

What a great video! We will be there in 3 weeks. Slow Sanur is more my thing but we have two nights in kuta so might pop up to double 6 beach for a look at night. Congratulations on a really good video!

Great video as always, that room in Je Je hotel was an absolute steal 🙂

I can't believe the price of hotel rooms both in Bali and Thailand. I have a pretty comfortable suite in a hotel an old friend of mine owns and I pay a decent price for renting but the rooms are from $ 100 to $ 150 a night for regular guests. The difference is I live in Canada and things are a wee bit more expensive but your Canadian as well so you can relate to that. At least this winter when I'm in Thailand I won't have to pay a heating bill and it won't take me 15 minutes to get dressed to make a 5 minute walk.

You`re putting out some great content STL . You`ve definately put Bali on my bucket list.

WOW STL, you nailed it! Great, people, beaches, food, hotels and prices! Who could ask for anything more? We love your classy and informative videos as always. Keep them coming :)

Another excellent video from STL.

Really fun, upbeat narration!

Great blog :) enjoy 🎉 😊Bali is amazing

I can't wait to visit Bali. Thanks for sharing great information on places I would have never ventured out to. 😉

Love Bali, the beach views were awesome……and the few times I’ve been there I’ve never had a bad hotel, but for $8 can’t beat it….nice STL!

new subscbr, keep it up

Wonderful trip, the bands on the beach are quite good.

Thanks for taking us on a nice trip again!! And watched it all to the end....like the rest of your vids.

Stayed till the end. Love this video, ❤️

Saw till the end! I usually watch the videos while eating!

I was there with you brother, the whole video. :) What a day! I like your "first person", spontaneous style of recording. Keep it rolling...

Your extra advice about whatever's,this case the computer, which I know nothing about,is still appreciated. Really, never know, especially when you keep it short.

Hi, Did you know I'm Canadian too....anyways...I love your video so much and i love the squirrel in your video and i liked and subscribed. Hope you have a good day. Bye!

Yup, made it to the end, lol. Awesome.

In 1987 there was nothing on Double 6 beach other than the Double 6 club! It was also called Gado Gado beach and was in the middle of "Nowhere" lol

Yes! You went to La Plancha!!! (with all the beanbag chairs, I love that place!) OMG you go to our other favourite!! TIGER ITCHY BUM!!!! yessss!!! Also we have stayed at Swiss-Belinn twice, I know there's no balcony but our stay both times were great :D

I watch always to the end!

Awesome to view long takes of the nightlife, almost like being there again

Hiya STL, great intro. Lovely place to stay. Nice pool. Always beautiful views. Always informative. I watch all your videos. Beach is gorgeous. That woman, bless her. 😆 Good choice with rooms. So cheap. Makes sense when editing. Haha, I watch animal channels and cooking channels when not watching KZfaq. News is a no-no, only negative vibes there. Love the drone footage. Beautiful sunset. Perfect landing. Sand up, ya bum. 😆🤣 Your ribs looked tasty. Love your videos. You're great with adding all the prices. Always good vibes. Reggae. Love it. The band face when you tipped them. Nice tip. The beach at night was banging. Love the vibes and music. Great to hear you letting go and singing. Love watching your travels. Liked and shared. Untill next time. Have a wonderful week.

I had no idea Bali was so busy now. Great video! Thank you.

I always make it to the end, great look around!

Great vid! Really well put together and really informative. Thank you for your recommendations. Looking forward to visiting Bali.

Great Video, like always. We are very thankful for your work and effort, bringing the most interesting and beautiful spots to us. It also contains important inputs for travel preparations. Please continue with Your channel !

Your videos I will always make it through to the end! Always absolutely amazing content.

STL thanks for sharing , lets roll ! Enjoy ...

That was an excellent job captured all of the town .

Loved it, looking forward to the next as always!

Cheers STL, loved it

One of your best! And I think we might have caught a rare look of your face!

Legian is much much better, isn't it? Love La Plancha 😃

Awesome video ST..we go to Bali every year.

What a great price for a room. I left koh lipe last week and Bali might have to be next month. Looks great

I endured! Thanks, another enjoyable vid. Could always do with more Reggae, though ;) Your Bali series is timely - I'm going there for the first time in a few weeks. Cheers - Phil.

Another great Bali vid! Keep up the good work!

Watched till the end. Nice video.

hi,, yep gota love the padma area,, i stay there or surrounds areas at least a few days while in bail,gado gado resturant is one of my fav,s in bali

That meal looked INCREDIBLE 👍

Cool content. You're making me miss our house in Laos 🇱🇦

Good video! Love what we saw of the neighborhood around Padma beach. Looks really chill.

I would have done the same thing that you did and I always enjoy your videos and your narrating and humor

That view with breakfast was amazing

Nice one for the virtual tour love it keep safe and enjoy ❤️🙂

Love it🎉😊

I enjoyed this video thanks

Looks awesome

Excellent work Sir!

Looks awesome!!

Man, it sounds like you are having the time of your life... great stuff!!!

You must try the baked scallops at FAT BOWL in Jalan Padma. The rest of the menu is recommended also

Love to great places and amazing foods that you share.

LOVE THE VIDEO MY FELLOW CANUCK! KEEP THEM COMING!!

I’m amazed at the inexpensive prices of the food there. 🥳 And it really looks delicious! 😋 How are the drink prices though...like cocktails or hi-balls? The sunset sky looks epic 🤩... the amount of chill people on that beach though...😱🤯 Kudos to you taking us through, just watching it on KZfaq gave me a bit of anxiety. 🤣😝 (But hey, the singing at the end was worth it.) 😁😉😂. Oh, and then you did a mirror shot at the beginning... been watching on and off for a couple of years now and was a cool catch to see! Have fun wherever you are now. 🎉✌🏼😅 Cheers! 🍻

Been going to Bali with the Fam for 10 years or more first went there in the mid 80's with friends still going probably always will, love Lembongan and Penida ; )

Great Vids Super Thanks

Watched to the end.

Great video

wow, looks amazing

Good stuff

Super-fun! I'm in!!

Wow. A very comprehensive review STL. I don't usually like hotel reviews, but you have blended it in with lots of other activities and all done in 30 mins. Very good. Still too many of my fellow countrymen there for me personally as defeats the purpose of International travel, but looks great nevertheless. Well done. Great to see Bali busy again.

Keep up the good work bud!

Good stuff again.

Nice as usual. Missing being in S.E. Asia

Hi STL!! I just start watching your videos last month and they are amazing! You give great details on all of your adventures and you have plenty. You are a knowledgeable traveler. I love that you enjoy traveling single and sharing how affordable life is living abroad. As you mention, the vibe is not resort living, the VIBE is the beach. I LOVE REGGAE TOO!! I plan to retire abroad in 3 years. I’ve experienced Mexico’s vibe for 3 years. Now it’s time for me to visit Pattaya, Thailand (May of 2024). After Thailand I will visit Bali. I hope to enjoy the Double Six Beach, it looks better at night. Oh my, the music is GREAT. I need to retire now! Enjoy your travels STL🏖️🏝️😎 #myretirementjourney

Excellent videos Live in Vancouver and planning on being there soon

What a great place❤👍

Thx

great videos great content very usefull . thks

Bali series is great.....howaa from the Gwaii...

Good on you, Mate! $8 ! Great to see that the shoe string budget in SE Asia is alive

Nice video 👍 Just sharing, the best beaches in Bali from my opinion are: - Seminyak Beach (best for the hedonists) - Melasti Beach (best for a scenic drive) - Nusa Lembongan (best for day trippers) - Jimbaran Beach (best for seafood sunsets) - Amed Beach (best for diving & snorkeling) - Sanur Beach (best for sunrise & cycling) - Kuta Beach (best for all-things tourism) - Lovina beach (best for spotting dolphins) Still tens of beaches, but I recommended those above

Thanks so much for your videos. I am planning a southeast Asia trip with my husband and the hotels that you side trip to are great for my research and booking options. We are going to be traveling for about a year leaving Sept 2023. We plan to visit Bali, Lombok, Malaysia, Phillipines, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. I appreciate that you do seek out many local and cultural things to do as we are not into the Touristy things to do and only rarely.

The influx of Tourist coming back to Bali is doubled edged sword. Great for Balinese community and economy but the behavior, lack of respect and self-entitlement some of these people would put me off. I Love your SideTripLife videos though. Bali looks very affordable.

Well what a great place you chose to stay. Perfect base for exploring and what a great price. Definitely my favourite. Not surprised you went to another Ibis. Who knew 🙂 there would be two so close. Lovely sunset!! I would be scared flying a drone too. Really loved the look of the nano nano restaurant. They have put a lot of effort in and it looks fabulous. I saw on previous comments that someone said you are expected to reply to every comment. I don't agree, it's enough spending all that time videoing, editing. Just walking to a few places to look around is exhausting in the heat. Comment when you want to and feel like it. The reason I haven't commented so much before isn't because I havnt watched until the end, it's more to do with, often I have a lot to comment on - see above 🤣🤣 I watch all your videos though, can see you could do with some encouragement at the moment so commenting more :) well thank you for showing me some amazing places, definitely much better than the news. Oh when you can would you put more links in the description for previous and future videos. As you tube doesn't do this and it can be impossible to search for these on you tube if I don't know the title.

Mad

Thank u for showing thru kuta. Lovelly. Never been !
