Hello everyone again. This is my second travel review post. Please also check out my first post about swimming with whale sharks in Cebu, Philippines: http://pantip.com/topic/34856518

Let's Dive into the Enchanting Island of Bali

Embark on a captivating journey to Bali, the "Jewel of the Indian Ocean," nestled east of Java. This small island, spanning approximately 150 kilometers, boasts a vibrant population of 3 million. Bali's verdant landscape, meticulously preserved, has earned it the nickname "Emerald Island." Strict regulations prevent the construction of structures that could disrupt its pristine environment.

The building must not be higher than 15 meters, which is a foreign object from nature. Bali is an example of a tourist destination that is preserved in its original condition as much as possible. The pristine nature is the charm of Bali, which makes tourists from all over the world want to visit. This time, we only have one month to prepare for our trip to Bali, and we will go during Songkran. Where can we find cheap flight tickets? During this period, it is certain that the ticket prices are already high. If we don't book in advance, the ticket price will not be less than ten thousand. However, with our travel style, if the ticket price is more than ten thousand, we will think about it again and again, at least 100 times. We have a limited budget, you see. Don't even hope to find a ticket for less than ten thousand to book a flight from Bangkok to Bali Denpasar, because even the red-tailed airline has released prices that are almost... This option is therefore over for us, but we don't give up and continue to look for cheap tickets. It takes us 3 full days to find tickets, open all the apps we have, and search for all the ways to get tickets at a price that we like. We try many routes until finally we have the eyes to see the truth. Oops... I mean... we see a way to get tickets for less than ten thousand during this Songkran festival.

Most of our trips are booked through the Traveloka app to avoid credit card fees from the red airline. We chose not to fly direct, instead departing from Don Mueang (DMK) to Jakarta (CGK) and then connecting to Bali (DPS). We did not book a connecting flight, but rather booked each leg separately and timed our own connections. For those considering this approach, it's crucial to carefully review timings and allow ample time for transfers, as immigration queues at some airports can be lengthy. Remember, airlines may not be responsible if you miss your connecting flight due to your own delays. Moving on, we opted for the red airline again for this trip, drawn to their "now everyone can fly" concept. Our loyalty to them has cost us a pretty penny, haha!

1. Roundtrip tickets from DMK-CKG-DMK were found on Traveloka for 5,573 baht. This price matches the price on Air Asia's website, but there are no booking fees on Traveloka.

2. We booked our flights from CKG-DPS-CGK with AirAsia, redeeming 1,000 points for a roundtrip ticket priced at 1,580 baht. We booked directly with the airline.

The total round-trip cost is 7,153 baht. Wow, the price is reasonable. We saved almost 6,000 baht. However, the travel time is a bit longer due to the layover. But for us, it's okay. We can use the remaining money for sightseeing.

**_** Unexpectedly, before the trip, Air Asia Indonesia sent an email to change the flight time for both domestic flights, both outbound and return. Oh no, my work! How can I change the flight time like this and still catch the flight back to Thailand on time? The airline offered us two options: change the flight time or day, or ask for a refund. Hey, it looks bad. I can't change the travel date. I have to go at this time and on this day only. So we chose the second option, which is to request a full refund, and we will find a way to book a new flight. The refund process is not easy to get money, you know. Wait for a month. But today, as we are writing this post, we have received the full amount. (P.S. If anyone wants to know how to request a refund from Air Asia, please send a private message.)

To find the best deals on round-trip flights from CGK to DPS, I used various search engines to compare prices from domestic airlines such as AirAsia, Lionair, Citilink, Garuda, and Sriwijaya Air. Ultimately, I decided to redeem AirAsia points for the outbound flight from CGK to DPS at a cost of 740 baht per flight. For the return flight, I booked a Lion Air flight for 1,087 baht through the Traveloka app, which offered a 200 baht discount when using a Krungsri card. Remember to look for discounts to save money!

The round-trip price is 7,400 baht in total. It's a few hundred baht more expensive than before, but that's okay. I hope there won't be any more changes.

Coming up next, let's continue.

After securing our tickets, we started planning our itinerary, researching attractions, cuisine, and accommodation options. With limited information, we turned to Pantip, a Thai online forum, for guidance. The wealth of information available on the forum greatly facilitated our planning process. We began by booking accommodation, dividing our stay among three cities: Kuta for the first night, Ubud for two nights, and Nusa Dua for the remaining two nights. Reviews of each hotel will be provided in the travel section. As usual, we booked our rooms through Agoda. While prices on Agoda are comparable to other websites, we consistently take advantage of credit card discounts, resulting in lower prices. We highly recommend this website for its comprehensive list of credit card promotions and booking links: https://2baht.com/agoda-promotion-credit-card-2016/

With accommodation secured, the next step was to find places to visit. Most tourists in Bali opt for car rentals with drivers, a convenient and affordable option. Alternatively, self-drive car rentals are available at reasonable daily rates with a variety of models to choose from. Motorbike rentals are also popular, but lacking an international driving permit, I wasn't keen on risking my life on two wheels. So, I opted for a car with a driver. After emailing several service providers for quotes, I settled on Teddy Team, a well-known choice among Thai tourists visiting Bali. Teddy Team provided a comprehensive itinerary, including entrance fees for attractions and lunch buffets at scenic restaurants. The itinerary and pricing are detailed below.

Based on our calculations, we felt that visiting every day would be too tiring. Therefore, we emailed Teddy to request a reduction to three days. We would like to spend the remaining day relaxing and exploring the area around the hotel. Teddy responded promptly and agreed to our request, which we greatly appreciate.

Contact [email protected] for booking. Just specify the date you want to go, and they will arrange everything for you. If you want to use another provider with a lower price, you can use this itinerary. The main tourist attractions in Bali are included. Teddy also offers adventure activities booking services. Feel free to contact them.

Day 13 is our departure day. We will spend the whole day traveling. The flight departs from Don Mueang at 11:55 and takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes to Jakarta. We will wait for another 3 hours for a connecting flight to Bali. We will arrive in Bali around 8 pm. The time in Bali is 1 hour ahead of Jakarta, so be sure to adjust your watch.

Upon arrival at the airport, we will take a taxi to our accommodation in Kuta. There is a taxi counter at the airport exit. We arrived at the Domestic Terminal, so I'm not sure about the International Terminal. We showed the hotel voucher to the taxi driver and he quoted a price of 100,000 rupiahs. We confirmed the price again and he said yes. We emphasized it again because we didn't want to be overcharged. The taxi ride from the airport to Kuta is not far and takes less than 15 minutes.

We asked the driver to stop by a shop to buy a SIM card, but the price was too expensive (500-700 baht). We decided not to buy it and use the hotel's Wi-Fi instead. We were a bit surprised because we had limited cash and were worried about running out of money. During the ride, we chatted with the driver, who spoke excellent English.

We arrived at our hotel, The Edelweiss Boutique Hotel Kuta, which cost 814 baht per night, including breakfast.

The accommodation was decent and had a good location next to a shopping mall. The breakfast was also good and offered a variety of options. The room was okay for sleeping, but I wouldn't recommend staying for multiple nights as it was quite small. It's ideal for a quick stay if you have an early morning flight due to its proximity to the airport.

On the first day of our exploration of Bali, Teddy was scheduled to pick us up at 10 am. However, at 9:30 am, we saw his car waiting for us. One noticeable feature was that Teddy's car had a Thai language sticker on the back.

The car that picked us up was neither new nor old, but the air conditioning was nice and cool, which we appreciated. Our driver, Dewa, was a skilled driver who navigated the roads smoothly and safely. We were particularly pleased with his moderate speed, neither too slow nor too fast. The first destination Dewa took us to was Tanah Lot.

Tanah Lot: A Balinese Landmark

Tanah Lot, meaning "Land in the Sea," is a renowned Balinese landmark. This iconic temple sits on a rocky outcrop amidst the ocean, offering breathtaking views and a unique cultural experience.

Visiting Tanah Lot is a must for any traveler to Bali. Its stunning beauty and spiritual significance make it a truly unforgettable destination. With its picturesque setting and numerous photo opportunities, Tanah Lot provides ample opportunities to capture the essence of Balinese culture.

The entrance fee is 30,000 rupiah per person, with an additional 5,000 rupiah parking fee. This translates to approximately 11 USD for entry and 2 USD for parking, based on the current exchange rate.

Note: This translation focuses solely on the provided text and does not engage in answering questions or evaluating the task.

Upon arrival, a heavy downpour began, but it stopped within 15 minutes, giving way to sunshine and clear skies. Rain is a common occurrence in Bali, typically brief and followed by sunshine. The weather in Bali is generally hot and humid, causing sweat and discomfort. It's advisable to dress lightly and avoid heavy clothing. While shorts are acceptable for women, some temples require sarongs or "kain" to be worn. Fortunately, Teddy's car rental team thoughtfully provides sarongs/kain and umbrellas, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Our visit to Tanah Lot took only an hour, allowing ample time for our next destination: Ulun Danu Beratan, also known as the "temple on the lake." This picturesque temple, situated on a lake with a mountainous backdrop, is a popular tourist attraction in Bali. Its stunning beauty is evident in the numerous billboards showcasing its image. The entrance fee is 30,000 rupiahs per person. The temple itself is relatively small, allowing for a quick exploration. However, the highlight is undoubtedly the temple's location on the lake.

Note: The original text contained informal language and colloquialisms. The translation maintains a formal academic style, avoiding personal pronouns and focusing on factual information.

Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during my visit. Rain and heavy cloud cover obscured the view of the lake and mountains.

Note: We will not delve into the history here, as we were only focused on sightseeing, taking photos, and capturing the atmosphere. We weren't particularly interested in history, and we didn't have a guide, so we didn't know many details. Sometimes, we would sneakily walk alongside other guides, pretending to take photos, and listen in on their explanations. It was a way to save money on a guide by listening to someone else's tour. The tourist attractions in Bali are quite spread out, and most of the time was spent traveling. The roads are mostly narrow two-lane roads, so it took a long time to get around. The roads were also hilly, with some flat sections. The winding roads made some of us a little dizzy, but I was fine because I slept. By 2 pm, it was time for lunch. As mentioned earlier, Ted's program would tell us where we would be having lunch and how much it would cost. For this meal, our driver, Dewa, took us to a buffet lunch at the Eco Restaurant, located near the Ulun Danu Temple. The restaurant's atmosphere was pleasant, and the food served was a buffet of mainly Indonesian-style dishes. There were stir-fried vegetables, fried chicken, white rice, Nasi Goreng (fried rice), and much more that I can't remember. The buffet price was 90,000 rupiah per person, which is about 240 Thai baht. It was a good deal, and the price was very reasonable. However, drinks were not included and had to be purchased separately. The buffet line only offered tea and coffee. Dewa told us that we could pay him for the buffet, and he would take care of it. This way, we wouldn't have to pay VAT. However, if we paid ourselves, we would be charged VAT. We agreed and let Dewa pay for us. Honestly, at first, I was a little hesitant. I wondered if it would be cheaper if we paid ourselves and if he would take a commission from us (I've encountered this before, both in Thailand and other countries I've visited). However, Dewa seemed sincere and said it was okay if we didn't feel comfortable letting him pay. We had done some research and found that most restaurants in Bali charge VAT and a service charge. Dewa paid for everything and gave us the bill. The water we bought separately from the restaurant was also subject to VAT.

During lunch, the rain stopped, and the sky was very clear. Oh, it hurts. I want to go back to Ulun Temple again. I'm sure I can get better pictures. But it doesn't matter, there are other places waiting. The next place we will go is Twin Lake, which is Lake Buyan and Tamblingan next to each other, separated by mountains. The sky was not as good as usual. As soon as we set off, it rained. Sigh, when we arrived, the rain started to subside, but unfortunately, the thick fog obscured the beauty of the lake. There is no entrance fee, but there is a parking fee. But this time we saw Deva pay because it seemed that the villagers in the area would ask for parking fees. Let's go see the pictures.

The thick fog obscured the mountain view. This photo was taken with a Xiaomi Action Camera. If you want to capture a beautiful panoramic view of the lake, you'll need a wide-angle lens or take a panoramic shot, as the viewing angle is quite limited.

Near the viewpoint, there are services for taking photos with bats and lizards. If you're interested, you can ask about the price, which seems reasonable. Our itinerary for the first day only includes four locations. We've already covered three, and the last one is Taman Ayun Temple / Mengwi Royal Temple. The entrance fee Teddy sent was 15,000 rupia per person, but they actually charged 20,000 rupia. The history of the temple is available online, as we don't know it ourselves. We just know it's beautiful.

This temple is not very big. Oh, I forgot to mention one thing that Teddy and the driver, Dewa, provided us with: a mobile phone. They gave it to us so that we could contact them when we were finished sightseeing. If we couldn't find them, we could use this device to find them. I was very impressed.

After visiting the temple, we called Deva to pick us up at the front entrance where he had dropped us off earlier. Deva arrived promptly, but then the unexpected happened: the car's tire went flat, completely deflated. We noticed it and told Deva, "Your tire is flat, dude." Deva asked us to wait a moment and proceeded to change the flat tire himself, using the spare tire. It took him less than 5 minutes—incredibly fast! In conclusion, traveling with Teddy is worry-free; everything is convenient and comfortable. After changing the tire, we continued our journey. That was the end of our program for the day. Next, we checked into our accommodation. For the night, we chose to stay in Ubud because most of the tourist attractions are located not far from Ubud. Therefore, we chose Ubud as our center. We booked a stay at Villa Mandi Ubud, a small 15-room, 4-star hotel located a fair distance from Ubud Market, about a 10-15 minute drive. The surroundings of the hotel are rice fields, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The staff was lovely and welcomed us warmly. We booked a 2-night stay in a Superior room for 781 baht per night, including breakfast. At this price, we didn't expect much at first. However, upon entering the room and exploring the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. It exceeded our expectations. The hotel was attentive to its guests, providing a welcome letter and writing "Have a nice stay" with leaves on it. We felt very cared for and loved it. We give it a full 10 out of 10.

The swimming pool is nice, not very big, but it's okay.

This is exactly what we love. Adorable, customer-oriented, and the room rate is less than a thousand baht, but the service is truly exceptional.

After a long and restful sleep in the spacious bathroom, it was time for the second day of our tour. We had arranged for Dewa to pick us up at 9:30 AM, although the original schedule called for a 9:00 AM pickup. However, we had requested a later start time, which unfortunately led to a slight complication. The second day's itinerary included a Barong dance performance, a traditional Balinese show that began at 9:30 AM. Dewa apologized for not informing us of the earlier showtime, but we assured him that it was our fault for requesting a later pickup. As a result, our schedule had to be adjusted. The first stop on Dewa's revised itinerary was Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave Temple. The journey from our accommodation to the temple took approximately 30 minutes, and we arrived around 10:00 AM. The number of tourists was still relatively low at that time. The entrance fee was 15,000 rupiahs per person. Visitors wearing shorts were required to wear a sarong, which was provided free of charge by the temple.

Tirta Empul Temple, also known as the Holy Spring Temple, charges an entrance fee of 15,000 Rupiah per person. The temple features a sacred spring with crystal-clear water that emerges from the ground. Balinese people revere the spring, believing that the Hindu god Indra created it. They believe that bathing in the spring brings good fortune, wards off evil spirits, and cures various ailments. Every year, people flock to the temple to purify their bodies before bathing in the sacred spring. Before bathing, they perform a ceremony to worship the water deity at the altar. The ancient bathing area is where people bathe in the holy spring.

A group of young women walked in a line.

Temple entrance

The water in the pool is crystal clear. The water is fed by an underground spring.

The bathing area boasts crystal-clear water and large fish swimming in the pool. After visiting the sacred spring temple, the journey continues to a civet coffee tasting experience. When it comes to authentic civet coffee, Bali is the place to be. It's renowned for its exceptional quality.

Upon arrival at the Luwak Coffee plantation, we were greeted by a knowledgeable guide who provided an informative introduction. Luwak coffee is categorized into two types: male and female civet coffee. Male civet coffee is known for its stronger flavor compared to its female counterpart. The guide shared a helpful tip for distinguishing between the two: if the coffee beans are clumped together, they originate from a male civet; if they are separated, they come from a female civet. Interestingly, a cup of Luwak coffee is surprisingly affordable, costing only 50,000 rupiahs (approximately $140). However, purchasing it outside the plantation can be significantly more expensive. As a non-coffee drinker, I cannot personally attest to the taste, but I was eager to witness the coffee-testing process.

The aunt sat down to make coffee, showing the process of making civet coffee clearly.

The coconut coffee is fragrant and delicious, the vanilla coffee is also aromatic, and the fruit tea is also delicious. In short, it's good. I give it a full 10. The view is also very good.

Arabica Luwak Coffee: A highly aromatic civet coffee made from the beans of female civets. A must-try, as it is not available for tasting.

The tasting included coffee and fruit tea, which were free to try. After enjoying the coffee to our heart's content, it was time for lunch. Today, the Teddy team arranged for us to have lunch at the Garnd Puncak Sari restaurant, which costs the same as before, 90,000 rupia per person. The restaurant is located on a viewpoint overlooking Mount Kintamani. The food prices are in the hundreds, but the view is worth tens of thousands. It's incredibly beautiful. The food was a typical buffet.

The buffet looked amazing, but the restaurant was packed with people, likely due to a tour group arrival.

The view outside the restaurant is truly beautiful.

Penglipuran Traditional Village: A Glimpse into Balinese Culture

The entrance to this scenic viewpoint typically requires a fee, but Deva, with a mysterious card, informed us that entry was free. We readily agreed, eager to explore after a satisfying lunch and a restful nap. Upon waking, Deva announced our arrival at Penglipuran Traditional Village, a hidden gem on the island of Bali.

This village offers a unique opportunity to witness authentic Balinese architecture and lifestyle. The traditional houses, with their intricate carvings and thatched roofs, showcase the island's rich cultural heritage. The entrance fee is 31,000 Rupiah per person, providing access to this captivating glimpse into Balinese tradition.

The weather was extremely hot. We didn't stay there long, only 15 minutes, and we were already drenched in sweat and exhausted. We wanted to get back to the car, but when we arrived, Deva was asleep. Not wanting to rush him, we decided to let him rest for a bit, as we had been walking and sightseeing a bit too quickly. We sat and played under a tree, passing the time. When Deva woke up, we continued our journey to our final destination for the day: the terraced rice fields of Tagalalang. The lush green rice paddies, cascading down the hillside, were breathtaking and refreshing. The entrance fee was 10,000 Rupiah per person, and parking was limited, so we had to park on the side of the road.

Here is the translated text:

After visiting the rice fields, we returned to the Villa Mandi Ubud hotel. We had dinner at the hotel both nights. The food was cheaper than restaurants in Ubud market, with no additional VAT. They offer both Indonesian and European food, which was delicious and affordable. We emphasize this point. The program for the morning of the 3rd day of the tour ended. Today we have to stay at another hotel, booked in Nusa Dua. At 9 am sharp, Dewa was waiting to pick us up. Today we have to hurry to see the Barong Dance, a lion dance from Balinese mythology. The legend of the gods shows the fight between "Barong", the lion that helps humans, which is a symbol of goodness, and "Rangda", which is a symbol of evil. The entrance fee is 100,000 Rupia per person. When you arrive, say "Thailand" and they will give you a paper with a play explaining each scene so that we understand. Note: They have printed it in many languages.

The performance lasted about an hour and was enjoyable (although not exceptionally so), as the language barrier made it difficult to fully understand the dialogue. Some portions were spoken in English.

After watching the Barong Dance, we headed to the Batuan Temple. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. They even provide sarongs to wear at no extra cost. Let's take a look at the temple.

After leaving this place, we continued our long journey to the Basakih Temple, which took quite a long time. From Ubud to Besakih, it took more than an hour to travel. It was time for lunch. Today, we had lunch at Mahagiri Restaurant. The price of the food was the same as before, which was 90,000 rupiahs, excluding drinks. We got off the car and walked to the restaurant. We were amazed by the view. The main course was only a hundred, but the view was worth a hundred thousand.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The dining experience was exceptional, and we lingered for an extended period, savoring the delicious food and the ambiance. Each location curated by the Teddy Team was truly remarkable, providing both physical and emotional satisfaction. We then continued our journey towards Besakih.

Besakih Temple: A Sacred Place of Worship in Bali

Besakih Temple, also known as Pura Besakih, is the most significant temple on the island of Bali. Revered as the "Mother Temple" by the Balinese, it is the largest Hindu temple complex in Bali and is considered the holiest of all temples.

This vast complex encompasses 23 smaller temples, arranged in a terraced formation across seven levels on the slopes of Mount Agung, Bali's highest volcano. Each smaller temple holds its own significance, with the most important being Pura Penataraa Aguan, situated at the center.

Daily, Balinese devotees visit the temple to perform religious ceremonies, offering a glimpse into traditional customs and attire. Witnessing the locals carrying offerings on their heads, adorned in vibrant traditional clothing, is a truly captivating experience.

For those seeking to climb Mount Agung, the period between July and October is ideal. However, obtaining permission from the temple authorities is crucial, as access may be restricted during religious ceremonies.

Besakih Temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Upon arriving at the temple, Deva was fully dressed in ceremonial attire, as he would be accompanying us. This was to prevent any mafia guides from extorting money from us, as Deva informed us that there were many local guides who might try to solicit donations from us throughout our walk to the temple. Therefore, Deva took us to the temple, which was another positive aspect of the experience. We were impressed by Deva's ability to act as a guide and provide us with information about the temple. Let's explore the temple's grandeur together.

The first stop is already amazing, in front of the temple.

A group of young women, dressed in beautiful Balinese-style outfits, entered the temple together. On their way, a young girl asked to take a picture with us. We were surprised and couldn't help but smile.

And with that, Teddy's car rental journey comes to an end for the day.

Pura Kehen is an ancient and expansive temple in Bali, renowned for its unique architectural style and its association with the fire god. Tourists flock to this sacred site to witness its natural beauty and marvel at the majestic Meru temple, a 11-tiered structure dedicated to Lord Shiva. The numerous altars scattered throughout the complex pay homage to the mountain deities.

• Open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission fee is 30,000 Rupia/person.

After completing the 3-day tour program, Dewa drove us for 2 hours to Nusa Dua. We booked accommodation at The Wangsa Benoa for tonight. Upon arrival, we waved goodbye and thanked Dewa for this amazing and valuable trip.

Okay, here is the translation of the sentence:

Let's go see the hotel we booked. We really like it.

I have kept the tone simple and short, and I have translated the sentence in a way that is natural and idiomatic in English. I have also made sure to maintain the original meaning of the sentence.

The Wangsa Benoa, a 4-star hotel located 10 km from Denpasar Airport (Bali), offers a condo-style experience with separate rooms for the bathroom, kitchen, workspace, and living area. The hotel boasts a large swimming pool and decent Wi-Fi in the rooms, with stronger connectivity near the pool. Situated opposite the Conrad Bali Hotel, the Wangsa Benoa provides a comprehensive experience for just 920 baht per night, including breakfast. Guests can choose from three breakfast options: Continental, Indonesian, or American, conveniently served in their rooms.

Breakfast was served in the room, the food looked amazing, everything was perfect for this place. I slept very comfortably. Today is the 5th day in Bali. Today is a day of rest, I didn't go anywhere. I just stayed at the hotel and relaxed, but after a while, I started to get bored, so I went for a walk on Nusa Dua beach. The beach where we went wasn't very beautiful, most people prefer to play water sports. Most prices are in USD and are quite high, but I will say that you can bargain, depending on your ability.

Our 6-day, 5-night trip to Bali has come to an end. It was an incredibly fulfilling experience, both physically and mentally. Here's a summary of the expenses for this trip:

Round-trip airfare, including domestic flights, totals 7,400 baht.

The cost of renting a car with a driver for 3 days is 1,450,000 Rupiah, which is equivalent to 3,915 Thai Baht. Divided by 2 people, it comes to 1,957.5 Baht per person.

Accommodation cost for 5 nights, totaling 4,216 baht, divided by 2 equals 2,108 baht.

Other expenses, including entrance fees, food, and shopping, averaged 3,572.5 baht per person.

Total cost per person = 15,038 baht

This trip was just for two of us. If there were three of us, we believe we could have spent even less money. Anyway, thank you for following our travelogue. Thank you.
