Tanah LotBudget per day for Bali
Yes $50-70 a day is plenty for Bali!!!!! Don't be discouraged by the previous posters. I have to disagree with both previous posters,sorry guys but not everyone spends that much.
I have just recently returned from Bali and now planning my next trip as it was sooo cheap.
You can stay in a decent hotel with Hot Water in Kuta for 140,000rp ($15) a night, try AP Inn in Poppies 1, they have a huge pool, very big rooms and breakfast is included. Then you can eat at the Warungs, for example in Poppies 1 there ie Bamboo Corner, best food - - you can get steaks for 18,000 Rp ($1.90)
Don't waste money with a driver if you are sole traveller, you need to buddy up with someone or do tours. I just posted a tip about a great Cycling tour and I know they do overnight ones with all meals and accommodation and transport for $60, that way you'd get out of Kuta and see the Kintamani area, Lake Batur etc. They are called C.Bali (www.c-bali.com)
Try Ubud, you can get a shuttle bus there for 100,000, or do a tour with the guys I mentioned above and get them to pick you up from Kuta and drop you the next day in Ubud so you save costs. If you check out the forums you can find accommodation for 150,000rp per night in Ubud. Go to the monkey forest, just walk around and take in the vibe of the place (its very arty).
Tours will be your best bet as you pay a price that includes meals. Spend other days lazing by the pool and save more money. Oh, and it is safe! Everything has fond memories, including watching a movie in a restuarant while drinking a very cheap large bottle of Bintang beer ($1.70). Watching the kids play soccer on as the sunsets on Kuta Beach. Cycling through the villages. The monkeys in Ubud. Ordering entree, main and dessert as the food is so cheap.
Hiring a scooter and trying not to get killed on the roads.
Attempting to surf
Boogie Boarding
Long days where I didnt leave the pool and long chats in the pool
Live bands singing cover songs and they dont know all the words
