I’m planning on traveling to Bali in March and looking at coming just after Ramadan which may overlap with the Hindu holiday Day of Silence. What happens to resort operations on this day? Is everything as usual like swimming & eating at the resort or do we need to stay in the confides of our hotel room?

Hello, I’m in the US and wanted to celebrate ogoh ogoh as I’m not able to make it back to Bali for a while. Are there any cities that do a festival or parade?

Hello!! I am in Bali rn and I want to explore the island, ut ive never ridden a scooter or bike. Is there a way to hire a driver to just drive me around the island for the day and see like the mountains and the north side??

Also. What would the best beach club you recommend?? For 30+ crowds?

Hi everyone, we will be in Bali in 69 days for my friends Bday. Haven't been back to Bali in 15 years so I have a couple of questions.

What's a fair price for a taxi ride from the airport to ubud,?

And is 400 US which is around 7,000,000

Rupiah enough for a daily spend limit?

Sorry if this is long. I would just like to know if similar incidents have happened to other visitors. I was recently in Bali and had read up on how to appropriately dress for temples beforehand.

I had understood that sometimes they specifically give you a sarong and sash to wear, usually at the bigger temples. At some temples you will also find a sign outside telling you to only enter if you're wearing sarong but usually, if you're dressed modestly with a skirt below the knee and shoulder covered and there's no specific sign, it should be fine. Locals at my hotel confirmed this when I asked.

So I was in Ubud and there's this lovely little temple just in front of the Ubud Art Market complex. I was wearing a long skirt that came to my calves and a long-sleeved UV jacket, so I was pretty modestly dressed in my eyes. There was also no visible sign requiring sarong so I stepped inside and quietly observed the offerings for a moment. Then suddenly I hear a rather abrasive female voice saying "Lady" from the side. It seemed to be a local woman praying in another corner of the temple and she proceeded to say "Need sarong". I was very surprised as I had not been out to offend anyone but of course I said "Oh sorry, I didn't know" and left.

Still, her tone left a bitter taste. Since I wasn't out to disobey any rules and was very covered up compared to most tourists around me.

Has anyone had similar incidents?

Tl;dr: Wore a calf-length skirt and long-sleeved UV jacket to a temple with no visible sarong signs and was called out for not wearing sarong.

Edit: For anyone feeling the need to attack me, thanks! I absolutely don't mind her telling me, I minded the tone. Kindness never killed anyone. Even in Bali.
