WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Language -: The main Language spoken in Indonesia is Bahasa Indonesia. Most languages spoken in Bali are Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese and English.

Currency -: The currency of Bali is Indonesian Rupiah. One USD is equivalent to IDR 13,901 (2019)

Credit Cards & ATMs -: There are plenty of ATM machines in the island. Cashless payments are accepted in most shops and restaurants unless you are not eating at a local restaurant (Warung) which only accepts cash. Be vigilant in ATM scams, only visit ATMs within the banks and try to avoid ATM machines at the mini marts and street side. Before you arrive in the country set a daily limit in your credit or debit card for cash withdrawals.

Plugs -: The plugs used in Bali are type C and F. Voltage is 230V and standard frequency is 50HZ in the island. I recommend you to carry a universal adapter as I had to roam around the street of Bali to find a universal adapter in my first visit. You can find quality adapter from ‘ACE Hardware’ in the island.
