• Behaviour — Never touch anyone’s head (sacred); do not point feet at people/temples; walk clockwise around stupas/shrines. Women during menstruation should avoid temples (cultural custom).
• Temples & Offerings — Respect canang sari (small offerings); small donations appreciated. Ask permission before photographing people/ceremonies.
• Advice — Say “terima kasih” (thank you); remove shoes when entering homes/temples; adopt eco-friendly habits (reusable bottle $4) to support sustainable Bali Travel. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen respectful Bahraini travellers flourish in Bali’s sacred sites.”

General Advice:

• Language — “Terima kasih” (thank you), “selamat pagi” (good morning); English widely spoken in tourist areas.
• Respect — Follow temple rules strictly; support local vendors fairly; avoid public displays of affection.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Nusa Penida”.
