1. Respect Local Customs and Culture

Bali is known for its rich cultural heritage. Respect local customs, traditions, and dress modestly when visiting temples or rural areas. Learn a few basic Balinese phrases; locals appreciate the effort. Balinese people are known to be friendly and polite. Return the courtesy with a smile and polite gestures. Avoid public displays of affection, as it may be considered disrespectful in some areas.

2. Clothing

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for the tropical climate. Consider modest attire to show respect, especially in religious and rural areas. A swimsuit is appropriate for beach areas, but it is better to cover up when away from the beach.

3. Health Precautions

Stay hydrated, especially in the warm weather, and use sunscreen to protect your skin. Be cautious about consuming tap water; opt for bottled water and ensure that your food is prepared in hygienic conditions.

4. Transportation and Accommodations

Use reputable transportation services and negotiate fares before taking a taxi or other modes of transport. If renting a scooter, make sure you have the necessary license and wear a helmet. Meanwhile for accommodations, choose the ones in safe and well-traveled areas. Read reviews and consider guest feedback before booking. Keep your accommodation details handy, and share them with someone you trust.

5. Solo Travel Safety

While Bali is generally safe, exercise normal precautions. Be aware of your surroundings, especially when exploring unfamiliar areas. Inform someone trustworthy about your plans and check in periodically.

6. Money and Valuables

Use a money belt or secure pouch for important documents, cash, and valuables. Be cautious when using ATMs and consider using those in well-lit, secure locations.

7. Travel Insurance

Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and personal belongings.

8. Emergency Contacts

Save important local contacts and the contact information of your embassy or consulate in case of emergencies.

9. Nightlife Safety

If you plan to enjoy Bali’s nightlife, stick to well-known and reputable establishments. Always keep an eye on your drink.
