I am indonesia customs officer in Jakarta. Thank you for coming to indonesia. #beacukaimakinbaik

Hey Ashley and Ben. Hope you are both well. One thing I have hardly seen on KZfaq is any sailors commenting on how the sailing community is dealing with Travel and port issues with the Virus who are not residents or citizens of that country Cheers be well

I think I would always be terrified of having something 'planted' to be found during the search. Paranoia strikes deep.

I love this show it's so cool and fascinating I can't stop watching this its just so good!

I grew up in Indonesia and as a kiwi I found them to be very kind and courteous. The officialdom was somewhat tedious but never felt threatened or in danger at any time. Most of Asia is the same. It’s a wonderful word out there.

Thanks for taking the time each week to share your travels. You both ROCK!

I love how they all love being on his channel!! It is so much fun watching people have fun.

Never had a problem finding Beer or whisky when there. Customs a delight as always. A country full of helpful and happy people

Thanks for showing the nuts and bolts. I can only imagine the challenges of moving through the various countries.

You’re both so patient and have such great attitudes!

Thank you for visiting Indonesia, have a nice trip to Malaysia. May GOD bless both of you.

We love you both. Thanks for the uploads and the editing. You guys crack us up. Godspeed.

Stuff happens! Always good to see you!

Congratulations on 200k, very deserved for all the time, effort, work and love you two put into every video. And, congratulations on your new crew member. Stay safe back home. 🎉🍾😷

Always look forward to your uploads every Sunday morning... it's the way I start my day thank you guys for the great content keep up the good work!!! Stay safe see you next upload

Great one again guys! Lots of Ashley again, which is good!!!! 🇬🇧👍😍

Congratulations on the baby and reaching 200K.

That’s wonderful that they’re so thorough. Stay safe and enjoy your beer. Ben would love Australia. We have craft beers in every town and all the named beers as well. I don’t drink beer but Aussies are known for appreciating a frothy.

I am so checking for baby bump here! Good one guys, hope you are all well and having fun with the little one. X

You are so unbelievably nice that everyone just wants to keep you around!

In some countries, going through Customs and Immigration can be quite stressful. It's good to see the officials you dealt with were in such good spirits and treated you well. Of course, like anything else; much of the way people treat you has to do with the attitude you present and the way you treat them. You two are experienced enough to know a little "honey" goes down much easier than "vinegar." Keeping everything light and pleasant always helps. There was one time many years ago when traveling into Canada from the US by motorcycle: A young Canadian Customs official had me unpack all my gear (camping stuff) and went all through it. He was very polite and kept apologizing. I told him he never has to apologize for doing his job and I was perfectly fine with what he was doing. The inspection went quickly and smoothly, and we parted shaking hands and on good terms. Of course, it helps I speak fluent Canadian, eh? I have a clear understanding of Canadian words such as "Molson," Labatts," and of course I also understand a little bit of "Newfie" ("Screech"). 😀

Thank you for visiting my lovely country 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨

Best channel on KZfaq keep it up thanks from South-Africa ope to see you in South-Africa 1 day..

Ben & Ashley - Great tips in this vid - asking whether it is OK to film before you start filming & showing Customs & Port officials respect & they will respond similarly - overall less hassles...!

Hey guys, always happy to see an upload from you...I have to say, your intro was less cryptic this time. lol

I know this is 2 years old but coming a cross this video the customs workers seem so friendly

They seem like nice people!

Stay safe guys..

I was in the Jungle in the Pekanbaru area and Duri, Dumi City, Indonesia before. There are a lot of beers and whiskey there. That was in the middle of nowhere, and yes, they have bars. The bars there are different from Western or Developed Tourist countries. The bar there just a hut and a few service lady and a few chairs(almost broken). The light was very dim because they can't waste too much power(they use their own generator) and focus most of the power in cooling beverages. Dark beer seems to be very popular there. If you see the dark been picture in front of the hut, then you can be sure that is a bar. Lots of cold beers though(that is what they emphasized). That was over 20 years ago, I'm not sure if that part of the country developed yet. During my stay there for 3 months, there are reports of tigers and elephants, and many other animals. I've seen many other animals but not tiger though. I would say Indonesia is the most relaxed Muslim country I ever visited. I did not notice any form of prohibited alcohol consumption there. At least I did not see it, and those service lady also work with you for extra money, if you fancy them(you know what I mean). The looks of those service lady, well, that was in the middle of the jungle almost no other sign of civilization there, so the choice is quite limited(to put it nicely). Pekanbaru itself was quite developed compare to Duri and Dumi at that time(it's like heaven and earth in comparison).

Hv a good day guys..

Makasi ya sudah mampir di Indonesia

That was fun! What was that little critter at 7:00? The market scenes are fascinating. Thanks for taking us along!

Im from indonesia..thank u for visited us

It;s 5:00 o'clock somewhere have a shot of crown royal.

See u in Malaysia 🇲🇾 Vlog!

Thanks for visiting my country. Salam. Selamat Jalan. Keep safery first

They do seem like very nice people.

Fair wind and following the seas..safe voyage to malaysia..

Indonesia is a wonderful country. Spent a few months there years ago. People don't drink much there. I gave one of the Indonesian guys I worked with alcohol and they got a bunch of people drunk. They probably want to avoid getting people drunk in small island towns.

Welcome to Malaysia

The world is full of beautiful people. Safe sailing and check limitations on travel to Malaysia guys. It’s getting super restrictive on travel world wide with this virus doing the rounds. Ever thought of embedding a qr code on your shirt or other merchandise? Scan and directs to your vlog. Pity your not crossing to Singapore

Yooooooooo we wana seeeee the bean!!!!!!!!!

Next up Malaysia? Welcome to Malaysia, that's our home.

I remember the "Black Gang" in UK: they came in droves checking everything and everywhere aboard ships, looking for cigarettes, alcohol and, surprisingly, toys. They opend panelings, manholes, inspected every corner, beam and double bottom: there was one sacred space only; the Master's living quarters: that they did not search. Years 60/70ties.

In Indonesia alcohol is super expensive so they are super strict. They are also strict about weed.

Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

welcome to Malaysia :D

Fr Malaysia...Guys , just to avoid arrival frustration, pls check if d current situation of d Corona pandemic allows u guys in..may d wind b with u..cheers n safe passage

Check out Puteri Harbour Marina in Johor Malaysia

Damn those alcohol incompatible baby-makers! They should get a firmware update for that. Best of luck to you Ashley! Hope the two of you are enjoying parenthood already back home.

They treated you like celebs at the Customs.)) Greetings from Azerbaijan

Have a safe journey.. Greeting from indonesian

I don’t think you can go into Australia at the moment (due to covid19) make sure you check before leaving Indonesia

want to see the bars? Go to Batam not far!

Welcom to belitung island bro, iam suscribber you from belitung timur

Same in the philippines, even the supermarkets stink of rotten food especially fish.

I think I have it figured, you keep getting searched because they are fans and low key want to meet you guys ^^

Customs are weird everywhere. Once we had our stuff taken for a day after they searched it and next day they searched again before they gave it back, lol. Another we paid thousands to go thru faster, when we got there they said they lost the papers so it took much longer, lol.

Customs very nice people!

Bon voyage Thank you for your Indonesian videos

Speaking of tee shirts, Ashley, where do you get your white tees? You always look so fresh in them!

new subscriber here, nice and interesting videos, hope u can make it more longer,😁😁😁😁

7:02 wow thats awesome, i mean kuram asam

They were looking for endangered or banned animals when you leave Indonesia. I dont think they would arrest you for alcohol, except if you brought in more than 2 bottles. Yes you can buy beers in Indonesia, but you cant drink it in public places.

💖🌈⛵️🍹 Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 we love your adventure 🍹⛵️🍷🌹🌈💖🇨🇦

Would’ve made a great boat pet. It was so cute. Lol 😂

Nice 👍
