Basic Bali etiquettes to keep in mind

1. DO learn some useful Indonesian phrases

Locals always appreciate it when you make the effort to converse in their language! For example, Terima kasih means “Thank you”, Selamat pagi means “Good morning” and maaf means “sorry”.

2. DO dress modestly when outside your resort

Most of the people who work in Bali resorts and hotels wouldn’t bat an eye when they see tourists in… somewhat revealing clothing. (Hey, it’s a holiday spot that’s popular among different kinds of travellers, after all). However, it’s not the same if you’re going to explore certain tourist attractions — especially temples and mosques!

3. DO obey the rules when entering a temple or any religious site

For instance, you must wear a sarong and a sash, and leave your footwear at the entrance when entering a Hindu temple. Also, always remove your footwear before entering a local’s house.

5. DO talk with someone at eye level

If the person is seated, you should either sit down or bend down so that you are at the same height.

6. DO use the local social titles

When talking or referring to someone older than you, make sure to use Pak for men and Ibu for women.

7. DO bargain a bit with the street vendors and beach merchants

It’s the way of shopping in Bali! Still, you must always be friendly and respectful. Bargaining is part of the culture in Bali, and tourists should see it as a fun experience rather than a war.

8. DO always wear a helmet while riding a motorbike

Yes, even if you see plenty of people riding without one. The police can stop you anytime and might make you pay a “fine”. Amount varies!

9. DO eat at the w arung s

These are the restaurants that you see on the streets that offer you an authentic local experience! The food there is absolutely delicious and as cheap as it can get. But go to only recommended ones as Bali Belly is a real thing and you would not want to experience it!

10. DO sign up for a Balinese cooking class

It’s a unique experience and a great way to learn more about Indonesian cuisine during your Bali vacation.

11. DO avoid getting the “Bali belly”

Or more commonly known as the “traveller’s diarrhoea,” which is mainly caused by unclean food and water — especially inadequately-cooked meat and seafood. Enjoy the w arungs but only enter the ones that appear to be hygienic. And get bottled water or bring your own tumbler with filtered water.
