This is the best video I've seen on Ubud. My husband and I love the area particularly as we have close Balinese who live in Sebali although they also have a house in Denpasar.. We're from Perth, Western Australia and have been going to Bali since 1988. Thanks so much for showing a lot of the small back streets and walks. 😊

What a great video. Very good detailed information. I enjoyed this immensely.

Loved your video, easy to listen to, comprehensive content, great visuals. Having stayed at Ubud several times it’s one of my favourite places in Bali. Loved the walks, people & fresh food choices there - my sister who’s vegetarian loved the wider range of options in Ubud compared to other places in Bali. Thanks again, will be trying out some of your recommendations next time. (Realised we were at Ubud for 3 weeks at the same time you made this video).

great footage. at first i thought, wow this video is too long lol now i wish it was longer. def on my bucket list!

[revelationmd]

Absolutely loved my one visit to Bali back in 1999 and I’m determined to return one day. Ubud looks amazing - I wish I’d spent longer there. I only spent an afternoon visiting the sacred monkey forest, the bulk of my trip being spent in Nusa Dua.

Great video friend, certainly got me thinking about another visit.

I was in Ubud for 10 days in Nov23 and had a great time. Visited a lot of places you had in the video and also traveled to the Gates of Heaven and got the famous picture. Visited the water palace and my girlfriend did some shopping for her family. Watch the monkeys as they stole my water bottle from my backpack as i took a quick stop

Ubud is really beautiful 😍 loving it here atm.

[carolinenkwe]

Your video is informative, thank you.
I am traveling there soon and was planning to o
spend only five days in Ubud, by looking at your video I think I should stay longer.

[valcannon]

This looks like totally fun place to visit. Send me one of those cool shirts. Thanks Mike.

Nice, I’m here in Bali right now. Staying in Seminyak

Hello Jim, this was a great video. Had a question when you were at the money exchange. It looked like you had a color copy of your passport as identification when exchanging money or maybe it was your actual passport. Would a copy (if you used a copy) suffice when exchanging money?

[Steve-xlen]

Great video. Out of curiosity can you organise for cleaning of the Air BnB through the month?

The lower cost of living in March 2024 in bali in very lost standard, fly + transportation to airports, visa 1, 5k$, very very small house 2k$, the small portion restaurant food 15-20$ one meal ( in usa two time bigger portion ) + transportation not have any MRT only taxi grab 5$ and back 5$ so daily food 3times meal + go and back 90$ and still not feel full want snacks ( option rent scooter 200$ nmax month + 100$ petrol ) but go that far and drive scooter 🤣 if cabrio car yes, so totally I spend 5k$ for month so 2 times more expensive like any nearest destination from my home and traffic unbelievable I spend at least half day in traffic so let’s said from my 30 days vacation I only get 15 days lol

Any advice on eSIM cards for phones? Use paper money or credit cards? Thank you!

[CandycaneBeyond]

Why don't people utilize bicycles more than motor bikes? I would think it would be more cost efficient and better for the environment.

[gaiaevalynlove]

This video is incorrect the cost of living in Ubud and Bali is insanely expensive, I spend $3000 a month here the same as in the UK. Unless you want to starve yourself and live in a shoe box then it may be $1500 a month!! The Traffic is also ridiculous!!!
