• Dress — Shoulders and knees covered in temples (sarong provided often); bring light scarf/sarong ($3–5) or long pants/skirt. Remove shoes before entering temples.
• Behaviour — Never step on or over canang sari offerings; walk clockwise around temples; do not point feet at people/images; avoid public displays of affection.
• Temples & Offerings — Ask permission for photos; small donations appreciated. Women during menstruation traditionally avoid temples.
• Advice — Say “terima kasih” (thank you); smile — it’s part of Balinese culture. Adopt eco-friendly habits (reusable bottle $4) to support sustainable Bali Travel. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen respectful Croatian travellers flourish in Bali’s sacred sites.”

General Advice:

• Language — “Terima kasih” (thank you); English widely spoken in tourist areas.
• Respect — Follow temple rules strictly; support local vendors fairly.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Uluwatu”.
