One of the most magical islands in the world, Bali justly deserves its nickname "Island of a Thousand Gods". Blessed with beautiful beaches, lush, verdant countryside and beautiful old temples, no-one could deny that the "heaven on earth" cliché rings true. Transport to and from the AirportMost people coming to Bali fall into one of two camps - backpackers or package tour sunseekers. In the case of the latter, often transfers will be arranged from the airport and many people will not venture outside the immediate locale of the resort. If you do choose to move around then there are rather rudimentary public transport facilities, but they are fun and more than adequate considering the size of the island. Most people who want to visit several areas of the island will take the option of hiring their own mini-jeep or moped however. Ngurah Rai International Taxis Bemos Transport around BaliBuses Journeys from the south to anywhere in the island, with regular coaches, can be arranged with any travel agent, and generally never cost more than IDR50,000 even for the longest trips. You can also get scheduled coach services to other islands - these should include a ferry fare in the price of your ticket. The various counters at the coach station should be able to help you with these services. Taxis Phone and Postal ServicesTelephone Dialling Bali (Denpasar) from outside Indonesia: Local area codes:
Post It costs IDR6000 to send a postcard to Europe and IDR7000 to North America. The postal service varies and is far better in cities than rural areas, letters taking from four days up to two weeks to get to Europe or North America, depending on where they were sent from. A poste restante service is available in major towns. The recipient's name should be underlined and the letter clearly marked 'Poste Restante' in the upper left corner. Letters or postcards can be sent by express mail (kilat) or registered mail (surat tercatat) if you need to send something important. All international packages are inspected before sending, so don't seal anything up before arriving at the post office. Denpasar Main Post Office is located at: Jalan Raya Puputan Renon Health and SafetyMedical The water is not safe to drink in Bali. Always drink bottled water, which is cheap and readily available. You should also use this for cleaning your teeth. Some of the more expensive hotels and restaurants use purified ice as a matter of course in drinks, but check beforehand, as ice could be made from tap water. Although you are unlikely to become ill while in Bali, as the island is used to catering to tourists and the majority of restaurants and hotels will be clean and sanitary, you may still fall victim to a stomach upset, especially if you are not used to the sometimes rich and spicy food. Ensure that you drink plenty of water as dehydration in the heat can be one of the principal causes of sickness. Don't stay in the sun for too long and always wear a high-factor sun cream to avoid getting burnt. If you have recently travelled in a region considered to be a yellow fever zone then you must have a certificate of vaccination before being allowed entry to any part of Indonesia including Bali. Malaria is rare in Bali and the most common-mosquito-borne infection is dengue fever. Always use repellent to avoid being bitten and if you are unlucky enough to be bitten and suffer from any fever, seek medical advice immediately. Check with your GP before travelling as to what specific precautions you should take. Make sure you have full medical insurance, including cover for any sports you might be taking part in (such as diving) and repatriation to your home country in case of serious illness. RSUP Sanglah is the main provincial public hospital. RSUP Sanglah Personal Safety Partly due to Indonesia's recent economic troubles, the crime rate has increased in many areas including Bali so common sense precautions should be taken to avoid being the victim of crime whilst away. Make sure you safeguard valuables from theft, as pickpocketing is fairly common, especially in Kuta and the other major tourist areas. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and valuables on your person and make sure that your purse or wallet is in a safe place away from prying hands. Lock any valuables that you don't need with you in your hotel safe. It's best to carry your handbag on the side furthest from the road to avoid it being snatched and carry your passports with you at all times. The main police station is located at: Jalan Wr Supratman Denpasar Emergency NumbersPolice: 110 Ambulance: 118 Fire: 113 Money in BaliCurrency Currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). IDR1 = 100 sen Notes: IDR50,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5000, 1000, 500 and 100 Coins: IDR1000, 500, 100, 50 and 25 Credit cards: Larger establishments in Jakarta and Bali accept major credit cards. You will need cash for all transactions in most other areas of the country. Cash can be withdrawn from larger banks and ATMs in Jakarta with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diner's Club and Japanese Credit Bureau cards. Exchange Throughout Indonesia traveller's cheques and currency are best exchanged at international banks when the opportunity arises, as Indonesian banks tend to offer a poor rate of exchange in comparison. Cash, especially US dollars, can also be exchanged at reasonable rates at larger hotels and exchange kiosks in urban areas. There are few internationally recognised exchange companies with offices on Bali, most exchange bureaux are small privately operated concerns or operate under license from a larger company. If travelling to remote areas or smaller islands, it is advisable to change money and traveller's cheques in advance. American Express has a licensed operator at: K.C.B. Tours & Travel (American Express) Banks Normal banking hours are from 08h00-14h30 Mon-Fri. Some bank branches in hotels, however, keep longer hours.
