• Behaviour — Never touch anyone’s head; do not point feet at people/shrines; walk clockwise around temples; never step on offerings. Women during menstruation should not enter certain temples.
• Temples & Offerings — Respect canang sari (small offerings); small donations appreciated. Ask permission before photographing people/ceremonies.
• 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 US Virgin Islands 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.
• Navigation — Use offline maps (Maps.me) with “Ubud”, “Seminyak”, “Nusa Penida”.
