mickey1984 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi. My girlfriend and I are going to Thailand for two months in February. In the middle of our trip, we were hoping to go to Bali, Indonesia for about two weeks. We have just began looking into prices, and it seems quite expensive. Any hints or advice on the ways of getting there. Hopefully somebody has a hint on a cheap way of getting there. I have heard that it is cheaper not to go by air, but not too sure what is accurate. If you could also give a range in price, it would be much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 All depends on your way of living.Backpacker or 5 star hotel and everything in between. In principal Bali is expensive compared to other Indonesian regions.On the other hand it is the most beautiful part. I only want to warn you that very recently Indonesia changed its visa policy for many countries.No free entry anymore.! Please check with your local indonesian embassy or consul what is valid for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Mist Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi Dutch, I think he wants to know the best and cheapest way of getting from LOS to Bali return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Cheapest Way would have to be by boat - Sharpen up your sense of adventure. Maybe whilst going around Java you may be lucky to meet some people-smugglers and get a cheap holiday in Australia as well. Then you can get a free holiday on a Pacific Island and a return air-fare (for free) to wherever your passport was issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 passport not neccessary for those trips mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Normally don't you put your passport in a plastic bag and stuff the bag into a drum of Oil ??? If the navy find it, claim the passport is that of a close relative that decided to swim to Ashmore ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I know Bronco, he wants to know the cheapest way. Unfortunately I cannot advise him about travel costs but I can warn him about the changed visa policy. May be somebody else can give him some better advise about traveling, than he received thus far.

dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I know Bronco, he wants to know the cheapest way.Unfortunately I cannot advise him about travel costs but I can warn him about the changed visa policy. May be somebody else can give him some better advise about traveling, than he received thus far. It's my warped sense of humour Dutch, but I note that the Dutchies can't get a visa on arrival. Pay back time ? Perhaps Mickey should take a peek at an atlas and see how much water there is between Thailand and Indonesia. Mind you, certain cultural similarities suggest that early (prehistory) sailors made it both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 No hard feeling at all Dr.P Let the diplomats clear the mess. I have my multiple entry any how. By now you should know that I am a very obedient man when it comes to official regulations ( I was not always like that tho ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedKelly Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Not sure if I understand this question but I think he wants to go from Thailand to Bali and back like Bronco said !!?? If yo udo mate, then why not look at taking the trains downto Singapore and flying from there. Mind you it may not work out that much of a saving. But it would make a nice adventure as you could stop onthe way at Penang and Kuala Lumpur. the trains inMalaysia are great and easy. The flight from Singapore is short so may be cheaper. Not sure about going overland through Java.......could be a litlle dodgy !! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 In Jakarta it is already dodgy. The poor guy however still needs some advice (besides swimming) onver the cheapest way to go to Bali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 possibly a web site from Thai or singa airlines and they can search. do garuda fly to singapore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hey Bronco; You know the Australian Passport isn't so bad for our part of the world, compared to the Dutch..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 It's pretty good for most parts of the world Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I got my Australian visa without leaving the house.Internet for 5 minutes and I could print at home. Valid for one yeat.Multiple. Great country.Obviously trust my document without visual check or so. I looked in my passport and it said valid for all countries of the world. However those damned visa rules and regulations per country !! I agree with Dr.PP that this is a kind of pay back.The minister of foreign affairs was lately talking about those bloody Dutch colonials.The guy was not even born when this finished.Look at my history overview at terrorism thread.
