The major concerns that people face are the safety of the food and water, local violence crime rate, the transportation and any common or dangerous tropical diseases. Many expats live and travel around Bali on a daily basis without any problems, but as a first time visitor there are certain precautions that you can take to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Reduce health risks before traveling to Bali.

Before trips to Bali consult your doctor to find out what the current health situation is in the area you are going to stay in and find out if there are any vaccinations required before you leave. Bali is a tropical region and does have some nasty bugs floating or flying around so it is important to know exactly where you are going to be traveling to and let your doctor know. Once you have arrived in Bali it is important to stay in the areas that you have planned to as some of the islands have different health risks that you may not be aware or prepared for. For example Lombok is considered as a higher malaria risk area than the main island of Bali and if you have not been taking malaria tablets it is not advisable to go there.

The more common vaccinations that you would be given are polio, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A & B and malaria or whatever is prevalent at that specific time. If Bali is a regular holiday place for your vacations, it is important to visit your doctor every time you plan on going as new diseases can spring up very quickly.

Bali Travel insurance.

Traveling is risky, especially when you are going a long distance to a foreign country. Insurance won’t take the risk factor out but will help you if you do end up needing medical attention due to an accident or some disease. For short holidays, insurance is not that expensive compared to the peace of mind that it offers and you can then get on with enjoying your holiday without worrying.

Drinking Water in Bali.

Tap water is unsafe to drink in Bali. Although the quality of water throughout the island varies greatly, some coming piped, some from a well, one should always assume it is unsafe to drink without boiling. People living in Bali shower with the local water, brushing teeth etc. with no ill effects, still your drinking water should be bottled water. No matter where you stay, the tap water is unsafe for drinking, some of the luxury hotels have signs on the basins advising that their water is safe, but it is not worth the risk to drink it. Bottled water is freely available and is cheap. Even when brushing your teeth use the bottled water. When staying in tourist areas, all food is prepared with bottled water, so you are safe to eat everything including the delicious salads. Ice from these establishments is also made from bottled water and is safe, but when traveling outside tourist resorts avoid the ice and only buy drinks that are in refrigerators, not in cooler boxes covered with water and ice. All fruit and vegetables can be eaten without any worries as long as you use bottled water if you are going to make some of your own meals.

Bali Belly is not ordinary Diarrhea.

Bali is renowned for an acute gastroenteritis infection that should not be mistaken for mere holiday runs. You will know if you have caught this as you will have both diarrhea and vomiting at the same time and will feel like hell. The best thing to do is seek medical advice from a local doctor who will prescribe the needed medication to get you back up on your feet usually within 24 hours. If you do not get treatment then this can last for weeks and spoil your holiday and worst case scenario you will end up in hospital.

Small cuts & scrapes.

Small cuts can develop into serious infections due to the hot humid conditions very quickly. Wash out any cuts you get with clean bottled water and apply some Betadine. Allow the cut to air dry rather than putting a plaster on as this will make it “sweat” and take longer to heal.

Carry a first aid kit.

Learn how to use a first aid kit and take your own one with you, trying to find one locally is very difficult and those that are available are very limited. Don’t pack it in your hand luggage as it may be confiscated due to the sharp instruments.

Traveling for Medical help.

If you are staying in a villa out of town it can be difficult to get transport when most needed. When you first arrive, get a few phone numbers of reliable taxi services that operate 24 hours and store them in your phone.

Central Luzon contains the largest plain in the country with its agricultural plains accounting for about 40% of the region’s area. It produces most of the country's rice supply, earning itself the nickname "Rice Bowl of the Philippines or Rice Granary of the Philippines". Excess rice is delivered and imported to other provinces of the Philippines.  Although rice is the major crop, its vast and fertile plains are highly suitable for growing almost all agricultural crops. It has long coast lines rich with marine fishing grounds in Bataan, Zambales and Aurora. About 45 percent of the region’s area is devoted to forestlands. Gold, silver, chromite, limestone, marble, clay, sand and gravel abound in either Zambales or Bulacan.

Culture

Sinukwan Festival is a weeklong festival that captures the soul of San Fernando City. It is best described as the essence of the Kapampangan Spirit. Sinukwan is a cultural festival, so you would expect that most of the events are steeped in the traditional culture of the natives.

Navigating the Roads: The Ins and Outs of Long-Term Car Leases in the Philippines

In the bustling archipelago of the Philippines, where the daily commute can be a challenge and public transportation isn't always the most convenient option, the idea of having a personal vehicle becomes increasingly appealing. For those who desire the flexibility of car ownership without the hefty upfront costs, long-term car leasing has emerged as a popular alternative. Let's delve into the unique landscape of long-term car leases in the Philippines.

The Growing Trend:

Long-term car leases have gained traction in the Philippines as an attractive option for individuals and businesses alike. Unlike traditional financing or outright purchases, leasing offers the flexibility to use a vehicle for an extended period without committing to ownership. This trend has been further fueled by the increasing demand for mobility solutions tailored to the diverse needs of Filipinos.

Affordability and Accessibility:

One of the primary advantages of long-term car leases is the affordability they bring to the table. Rather than being burdened with the substantial upfront costs associated with buying a car, lessees can enjoy the benefits of driving a vehicle for an extended period by paying a fixed monthly fee. This model makes car ownership more accessible to a broader range of individuals who may not have the financial means to purchase a vehicle outright.

Variety of Options:

The Philippines car leasing market is dynamic, offering a wide array of options to suit different preferences and requirements. Whether you're a city dweller in need of a compact and fuel-efficient car for daily commuting or a business owner looking to expand your fleet with commercial vehicles, there's a lease option available. From sedans to SUVs, and even electric vehicles, the market caters to the diverse needs of consumers.

Maintenance and Service Packages:

Long-term car leases often come with added perks such as comprehensive maintenance and service packages. Lessees can enjoy peace of mind knowing that routine maintenance, repairs, and other services are covered within the terms of the lease. This not only simplifies the overall ownership experience but also helps lessees’ budget more effectively without unexpected expenses related to vehicle maintenance.

End-of-Lease Flexibility:

When the lease term concludes, individuals have the flexibility to choose the next steps based on their evolving needs. Whether it's upgrading to a newer model, extending the lease, or even exploring the option to purchase the vehicle, lessees have the freedom to adapt their plans according to their lifestyle changes or business requirements.

Challenges and Considerations:

While long-term car leases offer a plethora of benefits, prospective lessees should be mindful of certain considerations. Mileage restrictions, wear and tear charges, and early termination fees are factors that can impact the overall cost and experience of a lease. It is crucial for individuals to thoroughly review the terms and conditions before entering into a lease agreement.

Long-term car leasing in the Philippines is an evolving landscape that provides an appealing alternative to traditional car ownership. With its affordability, flexibility, and diverse options, it's no wonder that more Filipinos are opting for this mobility solution. As the market continues to grow, the choice between ownership and leasing becomes a matter of personal preference and lifestyle, paving the way for a more accessible and convenient driving experience in the beautiful archipelago.
