• Dress — Shoulders and knees covered in temples (sarong + sash provided or bring light scarf/sarong $3–5). Remove shoes before entering temples.
• Behaviour — Never step on or over offerings (canang sari); walk clockwise around temples; do not point feet at people or sacred objects; ask permission before photographing people.
• Temples — Women during menstruation traditionally not allowed in certain temples; small donations appreciated.
• 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 Laotian 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 in sacred areas.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Uluwatu”.
