• Places to Avoid
  • Unlicensed money changers
  • Unofficial tour guides
  • Unregulated water activities

• Road Safety: Traffic in Bali can be chaotic, and driving can be challenging due to narrow roads and varying driving habits. If you’re renting a scooter or car, drive cautiously and always wear a helmet if you’re on a scooter.
• Health Precautions: Stay hydrated and use bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth. Be cautious with street food, and ensure it’s cooked thoroughly.
• Natural Hazards: Bali has active volcanoes, such as Mount Agung. Stay updated on volcanic activity and follow local authorities’ advice. Earthquakes can also occur, so familiarize yourself with earthquake safety procedures.
• Cultural Sensitivity: Respect local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when visiting temples and remove your shoes before entering. Avoid touching people’s heads, as it is considered disrespectful.
• Avoiding Wildlife: Be cautious around monkeys, especially in places like Ubud’s Monkey Forest. They can be aggressive and may try to steal your belongings.
• Sun Protection: Bali’s sun can be intense, so wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from sunburn.
• Respect the Environment: Bali’s beaches and natural sites are beautiful. Help keep them clean by disposing of trash properly and avoiding single-use plastics.

• Bali is a beautiful destination, but it’s important to be aware of common scams to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are some of the most common scams in Bali and how to avoid them:
  • Fake Taxis: Unmetered taxis or those with inflated fares are common. Use reputable ride-sharing apps like Grab or Gojek, which provide transparent pricing and reliable service.
  • Money Exchange Scams: Only exchange money at licensed money changers that display official rates. Count your money carefully before leaving the counter to ensure you receive the correct amount.
  • ATM Scams: Use ATMs located inside banks or reputable establishments. Avoid standalone ATMs on deserted streets, as they may be tampered with to steal your card details.
  • Shopping Scams: Be cautious of overpriced souvenirs and fake goods. Haggling is customary, so research typical prices beforehand and stay polite but firm during negotiations.
  • Accommodation Scams: Book accommodations through reputable platforms with secure payment methods. Double-check photos and reviews before booking to ensure legitimacy.
  • Petty Theft: Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas like beaches and markets. Consider using a secure money belt or a crossbody bag for your valuables.
  • Fake Friendship Scams: Be cautious of individuals who become overly friendly too quickly, especially if they ask for money or favors. Maintain a healthy level of skepticism and avoid disclosing personal or financial information.
  • Model Fees: If approached to pay for photos taken without your permission, particularly at temples, politely decline and walk away. Do not feel obligated to pay for unsolicited photographs.
