• Greetings — Press palms together in prayer position (similar to wai); say “om swastiastu” or simply smile.
• Dress — Shoulders and knees must be covered in temples (sarong + sash provided or bring light scarf/sarong $3–5). Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
• Behaviour — Never touch anyone’s head; do not point feet at people or sacred objects; walk clockwise around stupas; women during menstruation should avoid temples.
• Temples & Offerings — Small donations appreciated; respect canang sari (small offerings); do not step on them.
• Advice — Say “terima kasih” (thank you); remove shoes when entering homes/temples; 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 Hong Kong travellers flourish in Bali’s spiritual 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 in sacred places.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Nusa Penida”.
