Keeping Your Things Secure

  • Theft is hardly a concern in Bali but no tourist destination is 100% safe. So, the following precautions can come useful.
  • Keep windows and doors locked when leaving your hotel room or at night
  • You must carry a copy of your passport and other travel documents if any, leave the originals safely in your hotel room.
  • Use the hotel’s security box or safe if available.
  • When going out in Bali, a front-carry pouch can come in handy to keep your valuables.

Watch Out on the Streets of Bali

  • Bali’s traffic is chaotic at times and can cause trouble to the first time visitors. Whether you are walking on the footpath or riding a bike, the following tips can keep you safe on the road.
  • When you are on the street, make sure to stop, look, and listen. There are no such traffic rules in Bali. Thus, crosswalks don’t get enough respect. So, it is highly suggested to take your time when crossing the road.
  • If you are visiting Bali for the first time, we suggest you don’t drive by yourself, instead hire a driver. It may sound feasible for you to hire a self-drive car, but if you care about your life, don’t drive by yourself. Car rentals are not even expensive, let the driver do the work while you look around the beautiful Bali.
  • Give a big no to the self-drive motorcycle, especially if you are looking to drive on the main roads or streets of Bali. You will be in more danger from the other riders rather than falling by your own mistake. However, you can ride a bike in village areas where traffic is low.

Follow the Law
