What do I need to prepare to go to Bali?

Everyone knows that the scenery in Bali is beautiful. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you about Bali's strategy. You can take a look at this strategy when you go. This is a practical strategy. Let's go and have a look.

homework

Good beaches are private sites, and there are restrictions on entering hotels or private clubs.

The local people are simple, but the Javanese are cruel and anti-China.

There will be a kind of people called village police everywhere, which is the local underworld. They will do some illegal things, but they will also help the police maintain stability.

The local government is very, very corrupt (much better than China, as can be seen from the buildings. Ordinary houses in Bali are basically like old houses in small counties, but the buildings of government agencies are very luxurious.

Free travel requires renting a car (motorcycle, taxi). Many parts of Bali are mountain roads, so cycling will be very tiring.

Pay attention to the local traffic police when renting motorcycles. They like to punish foreigners, and they try their best to punish you to 250W (about 2500 RMB).

Get up early and start our free trip. Because I don't know where to rent a motorcycle (because the raiders are basically near the airport), I asked the hotel front desk to help me rent a car. Soon he helped me find a motorcycle with only one rearview mirror, which was very old. Moreover, the price is 8W more expensive than that in Raiders (50 yuan a day, I hope I can forget it, I wish I had a car. So I put on my helmet and hit the road.

Road conditions in Bali

The roads in Bali are very narrow, and there are many more motorcycles than motor vehicles. They all run in the same lane, and the Telling Highway in Bali can also run motorcycles, which is equivalent to the national highway in China. Most areas are small roads with few traffic lights. It's totally dangerous to turn around when there is no car. So locals, everyone wears a helmet, which is different from that in China (fortunately, I have a helmet, otherwise I would probably stay in Bali.

suggestion

1. Please don't use the tour group to buy online, and don't ask the other party which one is traveling.

2. outbound travel must buy safety insurance.

3. Visa and MasterCard must be opened for outbound travel.

Bali is a province of Indonesia. The local people are not very exclusive to China, but they may ask for some tips because of their low income. If you travel there, I hope you can give it to those Indonesians who have helped you within your own economic scope.

Don't rent a motorcycle when traveling in Indonesia, just rent a taxi, which costs several hundred RMB a day. If you have a motorcycle, you must also rent a car in a regular car rental agency. And be prepared to be punished by the traffic police.

6. Be sure to protect yourself abroad, or you may not be able to get through to the embassy.

pay attention to

1, the local water quality is not good, so don't drink it directly. It is safer to drink bottled mineral water.

2. Prepare extra change, Indonesian rupiah 5000, 10000 or USD 1, as a small handling fee. From the moment you get off the plane to the visa on arrival, someone will ask you for a tip (there is a red envelope on the table, and after you finish the formalities, you will directly point to the red envelope from China and say "Congratulations on getting rich", eh? ...

3. When eating out, taxes and service charges are mostly increased, ranging from 15% to 2 1%, and there is no need to pay extra tips.

You can't show your arms and legs when you go to the temple. There is something similar to sari at the entrance of the temple, which can be wrapped up. There are no hard and fast rules, but most of them need to be given appropriately.

Don't stand in front of local people when they bow down and pray.

6. If you need to take a taxi when you go out, a blue taxi is more reliable. If you go to a distant place, such as Ubud, it is more cost-effective to charter a car. A taxi driver who lies in front of a hotel is not necessarily more reliable than a black car driver who lies in the street.

7. Don't touch the child's head. Of course, adults can't touch it.

9. In many places (street, in front of shops, in front of houses, etc.). ), there will be many small boxes of paper paste in front of the door, with flowers and plants inside. Be careful not to step on them. This is a way for local people to sacrifice or pray.

10, 150000 rupiah is left before leaving, and departure tax is required.

1 1, it's not cost-effective to change money at the airport in a hotel, and it's not cost-effective to change money at a hotel in a city street.

12. When the locals tell you the price, they will omit thousands. For example, when they say 50, it's actually 50 thousand, which is 50 thousand.

13, adapter required.

14, need to bring some gastrointestinal drugs.

15, language, yes, their "r" is pronounced as "l" and it is "llll" ...

16, local traffic keeps to the left, pay attention to traffic safety, especially motorcycles running all over the street.

17, the rainy season is from June 10 to March of the following year. There will be sudden heavy rain and dark clouds, but most of them are showers, which will soon pass.

18. If you want to experience the humanities, it is convenient to go to Ubud, Kuta for business, Kimbaran for romance and Nusa Dua.

skill

1. Jakarta and Bali in Indonesia are all visa-free. China people can go directly to ordinary border crossings. Don't go to Visana rioual. Indonesian customs will not remind you that you can get a visa-free. Slaughtering one is the other.

Then, get off the plane and walk faster. There are many people waiting in line at the back, and the customs will not ask for bribes. If you have any requirements, you can spend them with him.

In fact, there are many travel brochures for tourists at Bali Airport. Personally, if you feel capable, you'd better not travel with a group. If you have time, you should spend half a day researching where to go.

3. The effect of sunscreen is a drop of lever. I can't see the picture. Anyway, after riding a motorcycle for another day, I didn't feel much black.

4. The local taxi is very dark, even the Bluebird taxi doesn't watch, and its attitude is very poor. If you want to travel, you can download a local taxi software Grab, and you can take a taxi to the courier warehouse, although it is useless to send it by courier (_

As for the local internet access, my trick is to buy a good phone card in China first, and then change the signal directly in the local area. Generally, the price of buying in China is similar to that of buying locally.

The card I am using now was bought in Jakarta, and the traffic in 30 yuan is 4 GB. I don't call for your reference.

Including going to Europe and America, you can buy it on Universal Taobao, but it's cheaper than opening a local card, because if you go to Europe, you can't buy a multinational calling card locally, and it's expensive, troublesome and expensive to change a card in a country. It is very expensive to open a card in the business store of a regular operator in the United States. Buy a dozen dollars from a small operator such as lycamobile and Taobao.

6. It's best to buy China Airlines if you buy a plane ticket. The service is passable. When you buy low-cost airlines, AirAsia or Tiger Airways lion air, there is no free baggage allowance. If you buy a low-cost air ticket, I suggest you call to book your luggage first. If you book at the airport, the price will be too expensive to breathe.

air ticket

I ordered it on a software. According to my experience, the ticket prices on this software are basically cheaper than those of competitors. One-way or round-trip air tickets from home to abroad can basically buy the lowest price, regardless of other platforms. Everyone should know which software, so I won't say it. Talking about booking foreign air tickets. If you have a visa or master's degree, you can use Skyscanner to book Indonesian local air tickets and Priceline to book European and American air tickets (occasionally you can find cheap air tickets from China to Europe and America, but the APP is not as convenient as domestic software.

visa

I landed in Jakarta, and the entry situation in Bali should be similar. Let me talk about it here for your reference. As we all know, Indonesia has announced visa-free entry for tourists with Chinese mainland passports this year, so I bought a plane ticket and went straight to the road (of course, especially if you leave the country for border inspection with a white passport, it depends on your declaration form, otherwise it may be unfair. Please pay attention to this. But when I left Jakarta, I didn't find the visa-free window, but I found the landing visa window and gave 60 RMB to the Muslim women's customs (yes, Muslims and women also received money ... I heard that some friends also gave 20-50 RMB through the visa-free window.

I don't recommend people who have certain travel experience and English level to travel with a group. Say a few points

1. Our hotel is in the center of the city, and it's a 5-minute walk from the airport/kloc-0, so I walked to check in when I got off the plane, but when I was walking around by motorcycle, I found that many tourist buses in China were parked far away from the tourist area ... The officials themselves analyzed the reasons.

Second, the tourist attractions arranged by the China delegation are actually relatively few and scattered.

Third, the trip to Bali should be more about its cultural customs, followed by the natural landscape. If you join a group, you can't observe deeply. If you want to see the beach, why not go to Long Beach in Phuket? ......

prepare

Personally, I didn't have much preparation before I left. Here I have listed the necessary things.

A. universal power conversion socket.

B. Mobile power supply, with a capacity of 5000mAh. Why bring it? Because the hotels here are abnormal, many hotel rooms only have one power socket, so you must be inseparable from your female ticket or gay friends. ......

C. anti-allergic drugs, eating seafood is necessary, because you don't know when eating seafood will be uncomfortable. ....

D antipruritic lotion (double Ren Fei is the best, and toilet water will do, because some people may stay in hotels unclean, which will cause various skin discomfort. Anyway, no matter how good the hotel is, even if you sleep in clothes and pants, your skin will itch.

E. sunscreen oil

on one's pins

I ordered it on a domestic software. Generally, you can book a cheaper one, and it is not excluded that the price will be lower when you ask at the store. The hotel conditions in Bali are not bad, and the cost performance kills all kinds of domestic chains. I live in 200 yuan RMB, with swimming pool and breakfast.

If you book a hotel again, I suggest you check the location of the hotel you want on the software, and then go over and check all the conditions before you check in. Because of the high density of hotels in Bali, within a few steps, there is a lot of choice. More importantly, many hotels in Indonesia are not clean and feel dirty, so you must choose a relatively clean and tidy hotel to stay in. Only in this way can I continue to travel ... some people recommend Airbnb. I have to explore this. I only express my opinion here.

1. How to find the hotel:

① After determining the accommodation area, find a hotel in the area;

② Write down hotels recommended by LP+hotels recommended by tourism experts;

(3) Search the information of this hotel recorded in the travel notes on google, and usually the hotel's official website and Daodao websites will give an evaluation of this hotel;

④ Look at the information and price of the hotel official website;

⑤ Look at the comments of netizens on this hotel, which is quite good, and there are also netizens' rankings of this hotel; The authentic Chinese version is official website, but it is not as convenient as the English version for China people.

6. If you are very interested, go to Google Maps to see the location of the hotel and see if it is convenient to connect sightseeing activities;

⑦ After all the itineraries are confirmed, send an email to the hotel for reservation. Many popular small hotels are self-operated and do not need to book through hotel networks and intermediaries. Many don't need advance payment, just email confirmation. B&Bs are generally not in the catalogue of the intermediary, and can be booked by mail-Bali is very developed in tourism, and there are basically mails. If the hotel still needs advance payment, you can ask the chartered driver you contacted to help you bend the rules, which can usually be solved.

eat

Indonesian cuisine is heavily flavored with coconut milk, pepper, cloves, cardamom, curry and other spices, and Chili sauce is always served. The food here is very strong, so a lot of spices are usually needed to make it when cooking. That strong smell can easily make people who have tasted it come to different opinions. Whether it is delicious or not, you have to taste it yourself.

The staple food of Balinese people is rice, and steamed rice with coconut shells is full of flavor.

Vegetables in Bali like carrots and green beans very much. As long as there are both kinds related to vegetables, they are also very expensive.

How to buy cheap air tickets?

There are many domestic flights to Bali:

1. Direct flights to chartered flight: only applicable to tour groups, and hotels must make reservations together. Free travel is obviously not cost-effective.

2. China-Hongkong/Macau-Bali

3. China-Kuala Lumpur/Singapore-Bali

4. China-Kuala Lumpur/Singapore-Jakarta-Bali

Domestic air tickets to Bali are undoubtedly the most cost-effective for AirAsia, and you only need to transfer from Kuala Lumpur once. Even though Malaysia Airlines, Tiger Airways and Indonesia Airlines occasionally have special fares, there is too little information, so they still have to transfer to Singapore/Jakarta. Generally speaking, their competitiveness is not as good as that of AirAsia.

communication network

Every store sells the same sim card, and the price varies greatly. Drivers know which stores are more cost-effective, so it is most convenient to take them to find them. There are many kinds of local sim cards: IM3, simpati, mentari, ProXL and simpati are said to have the best signal.

Domestic mobile phone cards and GSM basically have signals, and they will roam to the Maxis network ("Maxis" is displayed on the mobile phone, and there is no problem in answering and dialing. But the price is not generally expensive.

Drinking water problem

Please remember the following points when drinking water in Bali.

1. Never drink tap water directly.

Bottled water is generally safe, so be sure to check whether the bottle mouth is sealed when buying.

3. Avoid using ice cubes because ice cubes are usually made directly from tap water.

Don't drink fresh fruit juice at will, because some businesses may add tap water to it.

Boiling water is the most effective way to purify water.

6. The best chemical for clean water is iodine, but it is forbidden for pregnant women and people with thyroid problems.

7. The water filter can filter viruses, ensuring that the filter has chemical obstacles, such as iodine, and the aperture should be less than 4 microns.
