[southeastasianhistories]

Over the week that we spend in Bali, Pak Arwen, the minivan driver, becomes friendly with my father. This happens because they are both Indonesian-Chinese – which is to say that they share a shiver down the spine regarding certain historical dates, political figures and tribalist slurs.

At some point, when it became too difficult to be Chinese in Sumatra, each man's family gambled the present for its future. My father's fled for Singapore and Pak Arwen's for Bali. Decades later, the two men occupy different stations in life: my father plays a tuan to Pak Arwen's supir. But their shared memory of this gamble – and the conditions that forced it – levels the playing field a little.

Both men, being Christian-Chinese, have lived the parable about the pillar of salt. They understand the importance of moving forward, eyes fixed to the line on the horizon.

Is Pak Arwen looking forward or backward when he tells us: This is too much? He says this as we drive past a large banner, stirring in the breeze by the side of the road. The banner is bright red, with a slogan in block capitals: TOLAK REKLAMASI TELUK BENOA. Resist the reclamation of Benoa Bay.

This is one of the first non-English signs that we've seen all day, which makes me think that it's not for tourists. Or perhaps it's for a specific kind of tourist – the kind that's stayed here long enough to perceive that something isn't on offer to them, and want a part in it anyway.

My father asks: What do you mean?

And Pak Arwen responds, one hand circling the steering wheel for eloquence: Nothing is good enough here. Roads, land, water…

The road in front of us is marked by potholes; the banner speaks of land problems. What about water? I sprint through some figures: say there are 5,000 hotels here plus hundreds of unregistered villas, and each one has a pool…

I think about the news stories that I have read, on The Jakarta Post and Al Jazeera. Impossible to describe how much of this island's water goes into making, and maintaining, glamour. Each week, scores of foreign developers reach into Bali's south coast, summoning up yoga studios and restaurants by the dozen. Trump shakes hands with Harry Tanoe and a golfer's empire materialises, sun-bleached and thirsty by the gallon.

But all this diverts water from the poorer North, where most locals live. In this land of glassy infinity pools, more than half the rivers have already run dry. Streams still criss-cross the terraced rice fields of Ubud. But deeper underground, the freshwater banks are pulling back from parched earth. Bali's farmers live the reality that its tourists cannot see – at night, they sleep in their fields with one eye open for irrigation thieves.

Later, I root around online for more stories about Benoa Bay. I learn that Tommy Winata, the Indonesian billionaire, is trying to reclaim land there. He wants to coax hectares of malls, theme parks and an F1 track out of swampland. But this floating world will crush the coral reefs that protect Bali's coastline and keep the sea at bay. Eventually it will flood the island, dragging whole villages into the sea.

In a place like Bali – I tell myself – the supply of pleasure must always meet the demand for it. Even if it costs the future for some people; even if it means death.

After all this is paradise, where nothing ever runs out.

.

Let me tell you another story about Bali that I know. This one is a creation story, concerning the beginnings of paradise.

Imagine that the year is 1906. Bali is an island divided. Dutch forces have occupied the northern territories, leaving three Hindu kingdoms where once there were six. Today, they begin the march south to complete their reign, winding downwards from Tabanan to Badung to the offshore court of Klungkung.

This story is an old one, whose basic tenets are familiar to many people around the world. At heart, it is a story about mismatched means and ends: guns versus kris, ambition versus ancestral claims.

The Dutch troops begin their journey. Quickly, they pass through the city of Kesiman to reach their first stop, Denpasar. At first, the city streets seem too quiet: where is the resistance that they come ready to meet? But as the soldiers advance, they hear something stirring in the distance, from the direction of Denpasar palace: the faint but unmistakable pulse of drums.

And so they go on. As they near the palace, a procession of silent figures files out from its gates. From a distance, they spy the Raja on his palanquin surrounded by courtiers and priests, wives and guards, and children and servants. There are hundreds of people now, robed in white with dusty feet. Flowers laced into their hair.

Both parties, the Dutch and the Balinese, advance. Now there are 200 paces between them; now, 100. The gap between two worlds is narrowing. Then it closes for the century to come, and possibly forever: a puputan commences. The Raja steps down from his palanquin and gives a signal. Instantly someone lunges forward and knifes him in the chest. Motion erupts across the landscape as men force weapons into their children, then stab themselves. Women fling jewels into the air and then topple, wailing, onto their knives.

Dark liquid starts to fill the ground. A metallic scent rises. But Balinese people keep emerging from the palace in a slow, unstoppable stream. When they're within sight of the Dutch troops, they plunge forward onto their daggers, then collapse into the growing snarl of limbs.

Their bodies cover the ground, both protest and decree.

By this point the Dutch soldiers have opened fire, then ceased fire, then opened fire again. They don't know what to do. Several centuries of colonial rule have left them untrained for situations involving consent – and this seems like more than consent, seems close to an invitation. Eventually, they resort to doing what they know best – which is to seize what isn't on offer, looting the corpses for anything that gleams through the sticky mess of fluids.

There will be two more puputans before Bali falls completely, both of them photographed. Eventually, these pictures will cause a kind of moral backlash in Europe, with the thumping of Bibles and pontifical braying. Desperate to hold on to their empire, the Dutch will announce a new resolution: from now on, they will protect Balinese culture and not gun it down. In fact, they resolve to protect Balinese culture so soundly that it never changes from its present state or experiences the advancements of modern life.

Let the world move slowly here, their edicts declare. Progress is not for the pure of heart. Which is what the Balinese people are, presumably – puputans notwithstanding.

For decades to come, Dutch laws will force the Balinese people to wear Baju Endek and not linen pants – to converse in local dialects and not Malay, the regional code of rebellion. All over the island, atap roofs will sprout over modern innovations in galvanised iron. Whole dances will be invented for the Balinese people to perfect, then unleash upon large groups of tourists.

Soon, these tourists will be everywhere, scouring the island with their notepads at the ready – fresh from the war in Europe, and hungry for visions of innocence. Look at this place, they'll say, pointing at random to rice fields and bare-chested women. What authentic culture; what happy natives! So simple and contented with their lot.

They'll forget about the puputans, the cold carpet of bodies.

Bali becomes a paradise on earth.

bali trip - day 3.

midway in our trip, today we are going to switch hotel to another place in ubud, so we decided to do some exploring around on the way there. we had our breakfast in the hotel restaurant, which serves the same breakfast menu. this time we waited quite long too, for the food to be served.

we went shopping at kevala ceramics after checking out, this place has a warehouse nearby which sells products with small defects at a discounted price, which is a really good deal. my friend end up buying quite a lot of stuff, if not because of luggage limit, i believe she would get even more. also bought a piece of art glass around ubud area which is really cool as well.

for lunch, we went to warung babi guling pande egi for the famous bali guling dish. the restaurant is popular for the paddy field view but it was all muddy when we arrived. we ordered two of the signature babi guling dish to share since there’s quite a lot. the food taste pretty okay, the pork skin was quite tough to bite though. we bought some pork skin crackers as well which is really addictive.

went to alas harum bali which became the top tourist attraction after rebuild. there’s a coffee store, day club, restaurant, paddy field, huge swing and lots of different photo spot inside, which is quite amazing. entrance fee is required but you can walk around as long as you like and take as much photos as you like. all services do require additional payment though. we went on the big couple swing, which was lots of fun and also got some photos taken. the view is simply amazing, but sometimes you do need to wait for your turn at certain photo spot. if you have a day or half day to spare and just want a good place to chill, this could be an option, although it is quite a pricey spot to visit since everything is catered for tourists.

after our prolonged time at alas harum, we went to satria argowisata for my friend to get some bali coffee, because the ones at alas harum was way too expensive. they do offer the coffee tour to you if you want to know the making process of the famous kopi luwak.

before going to our hotel, we went to warung kintamani for the popular mujair nyat nyat, a fried fish dish with lots of chili paste on top. they serve the fish with rice and beansprout, we also got the chicken version to try. the chili paste is really good, the flavor is so appetizing and the fish is also enjoyable, but it seems the fish size is quite limited, depending on what is available in the kitchen.

after a satisfying dinner, we finally head to our hotel at samsara ubud. the road leading to the hotel gets really narrow and dark but our driver was good and brought us there safely. the hotel staff is super friendly, gave us drinks and snacks while we check in, and also explain all the facilities and activities available, for us to plan our stay for the next 2 days. our villa here is also 2 bedroom, with a big private pool, the room is beautiful and huge and the bathroom is simply amazing. we did notice that the water pressure is kinda low though during our stay.

since we arrived quite late, we just showered and unwind before going to bed for the day.

Top 10 Must-See Attractions in Bali -Your Ultimate Travel Guide

Bali, the name itself conjures images of pristine beaches, vibrant Hindu culture, and lush rice paddies. If you're dreaming of a tropical escape with breathtaking beaches, lush greenery, and a rich cultural tapestry, Bali is the place to be. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a wide-eyed adventurer, Bali has something for everyone. For those who believe that Bali is exclusively for couples, I am confident that by the conclusion of this blog, I will have shifted your perspective.

Bali Travel Guide: Your Ultimate Handbook to Paradise

Beach Lovers

Bali is a haven for beach enthusiasts. With its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, it's perfect for those seeking a relaxing beach vacation. Popular beaches like Kuta, Seminyak, and Nusa Dua offer a range of water activities and stunning sunset views.

Cultural Explorers

If you're fascinated by rich cultures and traditions, Bali is a cultural gem. Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is renowned for its traditional dance performances, art galleries, and historic sites. Explore ancient temples, attend local ceremonies, and immerse yourself in Balinese arts and crafts.

Wellness and Yoga Enthusiasts

Bali has become a global hub for wellness and yoga retreats. Ubud, in particular, is known for its yoga studios, holistic retreats, and spa offerings. Many resorts and retreat centers provide serene environments for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.

Honeymooners and Romantic Getaways

The romantic ambiance of Bali, with its luxurious resorts, private villas, and intimate beach settings, makes it an ideal destination for couples. Enjoy candlelit dinners on the beach, spa treatments for two, and sunset walks through scenic landscapes. 

Solo Travellers

Bali is a popular destination for solo travellers due to its friendly locals, vibrant atmosphere, and the ease of meeting fellow travellers. Ubud's artistic community and the bustling nightlife in Seminyak and Kuta offer solo adventurers plenty of opportunities to socialize

Families

Bali is family-friendly, offering a range of activities suitable for all ages. From water parks in Nusa Dua to interactive cultural experiences in Ubud, families can enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure. Many resorts also provide family-friendly amenities and services.

Partygoers and Nightlife Enthusiasts

Bali has a lively nightlife scene, especially in areas like Seminyak, Kuta, and Canggu. Beach clubs, bars, and vibrant night markets offer a lively atmosphere for those looking to dance the night away or enjoy a tropical cocktail by the ocean.

When to Go To Bali - Hitting the Perfect Season

Bali enjoys a tropical climate with two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The dry season (April to September) boasts sunshine, clear skies, and minimal rain, making it ideal for beach bums and outdoor enthusiasts. However, this peak season also sees a rise in tourist crowds and prices.

The wet season (October to March) offers a more budget-friendly experience with fewer crowds. While there may be occasional downpours, they're usually brief and followed by refreshing sunshine. This season is also perfect for surfers seeking epic waves.

Insider Tip:  If you can't decide between seasons, shoulder months (April-May and September-October) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and manageable crowds.

Visa Requirements: Hassle-Free Entry

Most nationalities can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) upon landing in Bali. This typically costs around USD $35 and allows you to stay for 30 days.  Double-check visa requirements for your specific country before your trip to avoid any surprises.

Navigating the Island: Taxis, Scooters, and More

Now you might be thinking, is having an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) a necessity for enjoying the scenic drives across Bali? You might consider taking your chances without a license, but that would be a significant oversight. Being caught driving without the proper permit is a sport for Bali's police, and hefty fines await those who fail to carry an IDP. Don't risk it – make sure you have the required documentation to fully enjoy your Bali exploration without any unwanted surprises.

Remember

For legal driving in Bali, it is imperative to possess an International Driving Permit Bali (IDP) applicable to both motorbike and scooter (Category A) as well as car (Category B) licenses. Bali strictly enforces traffic laws, including scooter speed limits of 60 km/h on city roads and 80 km/h on highways. Adhering to safe driving practices and local regulations ensures a smoother exploration of Bali's diverse landscapes. When renting vehicles, it is essential to furnish required documentation: (1) an IDP/IDL and (2) a valid driving license from one's home country. Prioritizing insurance coverage for damages, theft, personal accidents, and health in case of injury further enhances a secure driving experience.

AI-Powered Tourism Boosts Bali's Real Estate Market

The Bali Tourism Industry Association is embarking on an ambitious series of projects to use AI to enhance international interest in Balinese culture. In collaboration with the UID Campus in Denpasar, the association will promote Bali's culture to a broader audience with AI.

Earlier this week, the UID Bali Campus in Kura-Kura Bali, Serangan, hosted a seminar featuring tourism industry experts. Speakers included Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana, Chair of the Indonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI) Bali, Tantowi Yahya, President of UID Bali, and I Wayan Satya Dharmawan, CEO of PT. Nusantara Solutions Innovation.

Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana mentioned to reporters that preparations are ongoing, as integrating all payment systems is complex, but there is hope to complete it within the year.

What AI brings to the table

AI offers numerous potential benefits for Bali's tourism sector, from making cultural shows more accessible to providing live map updates and automated payment systems for tourism services.

Speakers at the seminar discussed the various ways AI could enhance the tourism sector, making life easier for those working in it and improving digital experiences for visitors.

Adnyana highlighted that technology can speed up development, giving the example of drivers checking traffic conditions in Ubud to find the best routes.

Separately, Tantowi Yahya, President of UID Bali, outlined that Kura-Kura Bali will be built around three main clusters: living, learning, and lifestyle. Kura-Kura Bali, a Special Economic Zone on Serangan Island, will transform into a smart city with a focus on education, technology, and business development.

Similar to the developments in Sanur, which has become a special economic zone for health, wellness, and tourism, Kura-Kura will focus on education, technology, and business.

In addition to the Kura-Kura project, other initiatives in Bali are also utilizing innovative technology to diversify tourism experiences. The Water Civilization Exhibition at Tirta Empul Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, opened in early April and runs through September.

This interactive and immersive exhibition is a partnership between Quantum Temple, the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Wonderful Indonesia, Manukaya Let Village, Gianyar Regency Tourism Office, and Sui Network. Over 300 young people and creative community groups contributed to the culturally inspired installations made from bamboo.

Quantum Temple aims to connect tourists with living cultural heritage through curated regenerative travel experiences, digital and physical artifacts, and community-led initiatives powered by blockchain technology.

In 2024, there is a push to make it easier for high-earning digital nomads, tech entrepreneurs, and high-wealth business developers to establish themselves in Bali. The island, often referred to as 'Silicon Bali,' is becoming a hub for tech entrepreneurs and digital nomads seeking new opportunities in emerging tech markets.

Boosting Tourism and the Property Business in Parallel

The surge in tourism and the infusion of technology into Bali's tourism sector have a positive ripple effect on the real estate market. Efforts to promote Bali's tourism and attract high-earning professionals are driving a parallel boost in the property business. This has led to a growing interest in Bali real estate for sale, with more people looking to buy Bali real estate and invest in Bali property for sale.

As the island transforms into a hub for digital nomads and tech entrepreneurs, the demand for buying property in Bali has surged. Investors and expatriates are increasingly drawn to the island's unique blend of cultural richness and modern amenities. The development of smart cities and special economic zones is creating an attractive environment for those looking to invest in Bali's property market, further fueling the island's economic growth and enhancing its appeal as a top destination for both tourism and real estate investment.

When to Go To Bali - Hitting the Perfect Season

Bali enjoys a tropical climate with two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The dry season (April to September) boasts sunshine, clear skies, and minimal rain, making it ideal for beach bums and outdoor enthusiasts. However, this peak season also sees a rise in tourist crowds and prices.

The wet season (October to March) offers a more budget-friendly experience with fewer crowds. While there may be occasional downpours, they're usually brief and followed by refreshing sunshine. This season is also perfect for surfers seeking epic waves.

Insider Tip:  If you can't decide between seasons, shoulder months (April-May and September-October) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and manageable crowds.

Visa Requirements: Hassle-Free Entry

Most nationalities can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) upon landing in Bali. This typically costs around USD $35 and allows you to stay for 30 days.  Double-check visa requirements for your specific country before your trip to avoid any surprises.

Navigating the Island: Taxis, Scooters, and More

Now you might be thinking, is having an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) a necessity for enjoying the scenic drives across Bali? You might consider taking your chances without a license, but that would be a significant oversight. Being caught driving without the proper permit is a sport for Bali's police, and hefty fines await those who fail to carry an IDP. Don't risk it – make sure you have the required documentation to fully enjoy your Bali exploration without any unwanted surprises.

Remember

For legal driving in Bali, it is imperative to possess an International Driving Permit Bali (IDP) applicable to both motorbike and scooter (Category A) as well as car (Category B) licenses. Bali strictly enforces traffic laws, including scooter speed limits of 60 km/h on city roads and 80 km/h on highways. Adhering to safe driving practices and local regulations ensures a smoother exploration of Bali's diverse landscapes. When renting vehicles, it is essential to furnish required documentation: (1) an IDP/IDL and (2) a valid driving license from one's home country. Prioritizing insurance coverage for damages, theft, personal accidents, and health in case of injury further enhances a secure driving experience.
