Bali Guide: The Dos and Donts

The Dos

  • Acquire a basic knowledge of a few Indonesian words and phrases, such as Terima Kasih, which means “thank you,” and Selamat Pagi, which means “good morning.” Say a few words to the Balinese in their tongue as a considerate gesture. “Hello” is pronounced “om swastiastu,” “thank you,” “suksma,” and “you’re welcome,” respectively. The people there will be grateful that you took the time.
  • When visiting temples, wear proper attire. Everyone who visits the island’s spectacular open-air temples is required to wear a sarong and waist sash. Visitors to frequently visited temples could be provided with these robes, but for smaller temples, bring your own. Out of respect, refrain from exposing too much flesh. Coverage in the t-shirt style works well.
  • Take in one of the numerous rituals that you could come upon. Sit behind the priest, who is easy to recognize given the accessories of the job since it is not regarded as impolite to do so. Never occupy a seat higher than a local. If they’re sitting on the ground, you ought to do the same.
  • Do obey the rules when entering a temple or any religious site
  • Keep your identity card and passport with you at all times. 
  • Smoking and drinking in sacred sites are restricted.
  • Do talk with someone at eye level
  • Always wear a helmet while riding a motorbike
  • Avoid getting the “Bali belly”

The Don’ts

  • Do not litter in open areas. 
  • Do not disregard the food offered by the locals.
  • Do not touch the head of a Balinese local!
  • Do not use your left hand when giving money or handing over something
  • Do not walk over the Canang Sari in the streets
  • Do not mess with the monkeys!
