• Greetings — Press palms together in prayer position (similar to wai); say “om swastiastu” or “selamat pagi/siang/sore”.
• Dress — Shoulders and knees must be covered in temples (sarong + sash provided or bring your own). Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
• Behaviour — Never step on offerings (canang sari); walk clockwise around temples; do not point feet at people or sacred objects; women during menstruation should not enter temples.
• Temples & Offerings — Small donations appreciated; ask permission before photographing people or ceremonies.
• 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 Singaporean 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 areas.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Nusa Penida”.
