• Dress — Shoulders and knees must be covered in temples (sarong + sash provided or bring your own $3–5). Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
• Behaviour — Never step on offerings; walk clockwise around temples; do not point feet at people or sacred objects; women during menstruation should avoid temples.
• Temples & Rituals — Ask permission before photographing ceremonies; small donations appreciated. Never touch priests’ heads.
• 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 Macau 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”.
• Eco-Advice — Prefer shared transport, bicycles or walking to reduce emissions.
