You can't take any liquids over 100mls. So I suggest that when doing your packing just put all your toiletries etc in zip lock bags and put in your cargo luggage. Make sure your nail clippers etc go in there too. Mosquites have never bothered me, but if you're one of those people that they love to eat bring your DEET. Bring your reef shoes/wetsuits if you're into that. Immodium if you have a sensitive stomach. Avoid tap water and you should be right. If you run out or forget, go to the Apotek and get some. If they don't have, ask for charcoal tablets.

Lock your bags Comfy shoes that you can wear all day without getting sore. Tampax cannot be found. So if that is your brand, bring your own. I always photocopy my passport, licence and itinerary and leave a copy with a family member. I also take a copy of my passport with me.

Ask your friends/family if they have these things.

I always ask around at home for old prescription glasses to take to Bali as they are an expense a lot of Balinese people can't afford.I also like to take writing paper (I buy at the Start of School Term specials for 1-5cents per exercise book), pencil, pens and so forth.*

Bring what you want...

by LauraJames31

I would suggest a suitcase with a fold up bag inside for extras... When you come to Bali or any place like Bali remember it is stinkin hot... there is no inbetween... it is not cool or pleasant.. you need to remember the heat hits you in the face the moment you walk out so be prepared... bring cool clothes... dont think because it is cheap there that there are clothes you will like... some are lovely but if you are going for 3 weeks and do what everyone told me to do (dont pack clothes) and you cant find anything except for printed sarongs... it will be a let down... Bring things you need but make sure they are in your large suitcase or you will have them taken away from you by the airlines if they are over 100ml... In Bali you can pick up lots of items absolutely dirt cheap... make sure however that you check the bottle as most skin care has bleach or whitener in it to make you more...

Lock your luggage

by shelnlin

Make sure you purchase locks for your bags whilst travelling to Bali. Since the arrest of Australian woman Schapelle Corby, I believe that if we all lock up all our luggage and bags we will have less chances of someone trying to smuggle drugs into them. Casual T shirts and shorts are fine and a good pair of sneakers and jandles. This can all be found here so if you just take your underwear that's fine as you can always haggle in the markets for new clothes and shoes. Pack a little as everything is relatively cheap and inexpensive. Take the basics with you as most things are here and readily availiable. Look out for mosquito repellant which contains DEET in it. DEET is the active ingredient used in insect repallents known as N, Ndiethyl m toluamide or DEET for short. The brand "Autan" here in Bali has a nice perfume like smell and it is not offensive. It is in a pink container and is...

Mosquito Repellent or Suffer!

by ilovetravel1

1 small backpack Shorts, sandals, light shirts. Mosquito repellant Digital camera with a large enough memory card. You can buy everything else from the local shops but you will have to haggle. A good tip is to knock 60% off the price and stick to it.

Bring open mind, leave only footprints

by BesarRahasia

What to say here? Definately put your things into some sort of luggage. Clothing is mostly casual, it is hot most of the time (around 30 all year), so pack light clothing. the coastal areas can get quite windy especilally on an evening also the centre of Bali Ubud/Kintamani etc) can be a little cooler, especially on an evening and night, so maybe a light shawl or sarong. Rainy season is between Nov - March but don't worry it's still warm no need for packamac. Visits to temples require a bit more respect, wear blouses that cover your shoulders for ladies. Wear long trousers or sarong with sash over short trousers for men There are many chemist outlets in Bali, and there are plenty of creams/ointments/tablets available, however there isn't really anything too good for upset stomaches and the like, so I suggest you consider bringing your own from where you are (Gaviscon for example isn't...

Beach Wear in Bali

by henryckv

If you are planning to get souvenirs, get an extra empty bag. Things are relatively cheap if you know how to bargain. You won't even realize that you have bought too much stuff until your trip is nearly over. Beach sandals is a must if you are going to the beach. For sight seeing, I recommend that you wear shoes. Pack light clothing. It is really humid and you will be sweating all the time (trust me) Bring a camera. Lots of memories to be taken! If you surf, you can bring your own surfboard. Otherwise, don't worry. You can find many shops that sell surfboards. Beach wear is must! Why go to Bali if you don't swim?

Yourself, Your Passport and Some Money

by Ubudian

Bali is easily one of those places that one could literally fly to with nothing in tow except your passport, the clothes on your back, and of course, some money! In fact, it makes perfect sense to come to Bali with little or no other packed clothes and shop here, as Indonesia in general is regarded as a major textile production center and all the clothes one would need for a tropical climate can be found in Bali and in all fashions, and at a great price. I know quite a number of regular visitors to Bali who do just that, and rather than pack any conventional luggage they load up their suitcases with coloring books, colored pencils, crayons, toys, and pre-natal vitamins to present as gifts to the schools and villages where they have formed long lasting relationship with more needy Balinese families. Toiletries, cosmetics, personal care items, meds...virtually anything the tourist could...

General Every Day Stuff.

by hayley_69

If your a shopaholic like me then you dont want to take much in your luggage. I usually just take some clothes with me as i will buy some there so i will need room for that, also i leave some room for toiletries etc and shoes. But if you like to stock up on stuff then dont take much and take a BIG suitcase!! :)What i usually do when im leaving bali i have hand luggage that i take onto the plane and in that i take what i need like tickets passports etc but thats it i keep an empty bag so i can put all my stuff in it to declare when i get to the decleration section, it just makes it alot easier if you have all the stuff you need to declare in one bag not every where.But just keep in mind they can check your suitcase just as a precaution thats all. Take with u casual and lightweight clothing with u as the humidity & head can get hot, so you need some thing that wont stick to you and is...
