Cultural Paradise Bali

This city has plenty to offer to everyone. Terraced rice paddies, gorgeous beaches, old temples, dynamic nightlife, and countless adventure activities are among the island’s many attractions. The city’s picturesque beaches and exotic sunsets attract visitors.

Do’s

1. As a considerate gesture, say a few words in their original tongue to the Balinese. ‘Hello,’ om swastiastu; ‘thank you,’ suksma; and ‘you’re welcome,’ suksma mewali are all Sanskrit words. The fact that you went out of your way will be appreciated by the locals.
2. When visiting temples, dress appropriately. Visitors must wear a sarong and waist sash when visiting the island’s magnificent open-air temples. Respectfully, don’t expose too much skin. Coverage in the manner of a t-shirt is ideal.
3. Pay attention to one of the many rituals that you are likely to come across. It is not regarded as impolite to observe the locals, however, please sit behind the priest, who is easily identifiable due to the accessories of the role. It’s not a good idea to sit higher than the locals. If they’re sitting on the ground, you should sit down as well.
4. If you plan on riding a motorcycle, be sure you’re well-versed on how to navigate Bali’s seemingly chaotic traffic flow. Always use a helmet and have your International Driver’s License up to date.
5. When money is precisely counted out to the last rupiah in front of you, you should exercise caution. With money, Indonesians are extremely open. There’s no room for accidental short-changing in this system.

Dont’s

1. Drink only bottled water. Because every villa kitchen has a dispenser of high-quality chilled water, bring a refillable water bottle with you. Understand the environmental impact of purchasing many plastic water bottles.
2. When donating money or touching someone else, don’t use your left hand. Stick to the right hand since Indonesians save their left hand for nether area cleanliness.
3. If you’re bleeding, stay away from the temples. This could be the result of a razor cut, a recent wound, or even menstruation. In a temple, blood is considered impure.
4. Do not approach monkeys or other animals. Macaques in tourist hotspots like Ubud and Uluwatu’s sea temple are busy and cunning robbers. They will seize your sunglasses and cell phones from your hands. Keep your personal items in a bag. Allow space for turtles on the beach; they are endangered, and the Balinese will assist them.
5. Don’t try to get a waiter’s attention by raising your arm in the air and pointing your fingers to the sky. Flick your wrist up and down while raising your arm with the palm facing down.
