Aussies reveal what tourists should never do in Bali while on holiday

Avoiding the monkeys, not drinking the tap water and always carrying cash are some of the tips Australians have told their fellow travelers before heading to Bali.

A woman who booked a trip to the Indonesian holiday hotspot asked for advice on ‘what not to do’ ahead of her holiday.

She was immediately inundated with suggestions from many who have been to Bali countless times.

A common response has been to avoid visiting animal theme parks as Bali is known for mistreating wildlife who are subjected to a life of misery.

Daily Mail Australia previously revealed that research by World Animal Protection found that of the 34 nature reserves around Bali and nearby Lombok, not one met the needs of their animals.

“I don’t know why anyone would support the zoo,” one person wrote on the Facebook post.

Others told visitors to avoid the monkey forest because the animals are “crazy” and can sometimes be aggressive if provoked. The animals have also been known to pinch tourists’ phones and accessories.

Respecting tradition and the local population was another important piece of advice.

Tourists were also told to try not to accidentally step on the offers that locals hand out every day.

Travelers will notice woven bamboo containers containing food, flowers and incense as a way to show gratitude to the gods.

Those wishing to travel to Nusa Penida Island are also urged not to take a fast boat to and from the mainland for a day trip as the boats are often overcrowded and the journey is too rushed.

Travelers are warned not to drink tap water in Bali, but only drink bottled liquids

Travelers were urged to stay on the island for a night or two instead, and not to do so in one day.

Another no-go was the roller coaster at the Trans Studio indoor theme park, with many saying they got off the ride feeling extremely nauseous.

An Australian warned tourists about the traffic and said they should always allow more time to get to the airport.

Not drinking tap water and making sure you always have cash on hand were other tips, as was not mentioning to locals that it was your first time in Bali as they might try to take advantage of you financially.

“Plan your trip ahead and make sure you see the places you want to see, rather than going to places your driver wants to take you,” said another.

Aussies were also told to use a private driver or the Bluebird taxis as they are the most reliable and legitimate taxi company.

One woman even suggested bringing tampons and sunscreen from home, as the items were too expensive to buy in Bali.
