We've noted some common sense etiquette such as being polite when going about daily life this includes when shopping, eating, visiting tourist sites, temples, etc.

First things first, as you heard whilst landing do NOT take part in illegal drug use. Capital punishment repercussions are just NOT worth it! This is no joke, do not bring illegal substances into Indonesia, jail sentences are lengthy with the possibility of a death sentence.

‍Please don’t swear or act with disrespect towards any government or local community official or your fellow tourists – this includes activity on social media. As you’re probably aware, it is illegal to conduct business or work without the legal right to do so, get a visa for that before you arrive.
‍
Respect rules imposed at local tourist sites and don't lose your temper, expressing anger whilst out and about is just not the Balinese way, meditate on being your most zen self!

Religious processions are a way of life here, please be patient and enjoy the postcard view. Respect the temples and their sacred structures, including statues and religious symbols. Same with being mindful of the offerings (canang sari) in the street, be aware!

And let’s keep Bali clean! Keep your litter in a bin whilst out in public or any natural environment and avoid using single-use plastics.

There are also some less commonly known nuances to the way of life in Bali, and we've noted some of them down for you.

GESTURES
There are some basic cultural rules about the use of gestures in Bali Like most Asian countries, please take off your shoes when entering homes. Using your left hand is considered unclean because that’s the hand people wipe themselves with after using the toilet. Using your left hand can be an insult. Don’t use your left hand to touch or give. Sorry lefties, this is an opportunity to become skilled with the other side of your hippocampus! Another handy plea is not to use your index finger to point or beckon. The head is considered to be the most sacred part of the human body, and it’s rude to touch someone's head in Bali, please don’t touch people's heads if you’re not besties! Public displays of affection can make people feel uncomfortable. Save it for your hotel room, please. Holding hands is lovely and acceptable.

ATTIRE
Dress modestly, appropriately, and respectfully at all public places, tourist attractions, and places of a sacred nature. If for some reason you need to go to an official building, ie a bank or government office, wear enclosed shoes not sandals or flip flops along with long pants and something that covers your shoulders.
