Don&#8217;t fear, beloved readers, we have just the tips you need to ensure you pack\u00a0the important things and leave the unnecessary items at home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clothing and Accessories:<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When traveling to any tropical climate, it is necessary to pack\u00a0light and loose clothing. Pants and T-shirts spanning the arms and legs are very useful to protect against the sun during the day and mosquitoes come evening. If you plan on visiting a few temples during your visit to Bali, remember to come with\u00a0a few items of modest clothing, although\u00a0it is very common and inexpensive (usually free) to wear a simple T-shirt and obtain a sarong at the entrance to the temple.<img decoding=\"async\" src-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/8ec3a1c67f7c014addf8c59fba1d21eb-150x150.jpg\" src-medium=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/8ec3a1c67f7c014addf8c59fba1d21eb-212x300.jpg\" src-large=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/8ec3a1c67f7c014addf8c59fba1d21eb.jpg\" src-full=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/8ec3a1c67f7c014addf8c59fba1d21eb.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/8ec3a1c67f7c014addf8c59fba1d21eb.jpg\" alt=\"Packing Clothes Bali\" title=\"\" height=\"334\" width=\"236\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*Handy tip: to maximize space and avoid\u00a0disheveled wrinkles, try rolling up your clothes\u00a0individually and\u00a0fitting them into zip lock plastic bags. This way, the air gets suctioned out and it is easier to fit everything nicely into a tight space. If you&#8217;re really a nut, you&#8217;ll\u00a0categorize each bag by shirts, dresses, pants, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you go to Bali during the rainy season, do not forget to bring a light-weight\u00a0raincoat or poncho, it will be\u00a0very useful, we promise! Also try to bring some sandals or shoes that will not be ruined by an excessive amount of water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To protect you from the sun&#8217;s particularly forceful rays near to the equator, I urge you to keep a place in your suitcase for a hat, sunglasses and sun screen (the latter of which is quite expensive to buy in Bali so better you bring your own).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And of course, what kind of packing guru would I be if I didn&#8217;t mention the mandatory swim suit! Though this beach apparel will get worn quite often during your pool-filled, beach-going holiday, you never need as many as you originally think. Personally I always tend to bring too many suits, taking up more than their fair share of suitcase space and never getting worn. Rotate between three to four and call it a day!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">First aid kit:<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if you are a very cautious person, a small first aid kit can be extremely handy\u00a0in developing countries such as Indonesia; however safe a place may be,\u00a0you are never immune from a burn, fever\u00a0or a small spout of Bali Belly. Therefore, I advise you to pack the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; Bandages and aloe vera (for sunburns or motorbike burns)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; A general antibiotic in case of a water-borne stomach virus<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; A\u00a0strong mosquito\u00a0spray, especially for the rainy season (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/ria-templer-utama-spice\">natural sprays can also be purchased here in Bali<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*It is not necessary to take anti-malarial pills for Bali. However, before leaving please consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice on what shots or medicine you may need to pack.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phone Calls and Messaging:<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In terms of your mobile phone, if you intend to use\u00a0it while in Bali, be sure to get it unlocked by your operator before leaving. That way,\u00a0you can buy an Indonesian SIM card at the airport on arrival or later on in town. The best known and most reliable operator is Simpati Telkomsel. Simply pre-pay for some pulsa (phone credit) and 4G at one of the many cell phone counters and voila, communication with your loved ones wherever you go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8211;\u00a0Calling\u00a0from Indonesia to\u00a0abroad:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dial Indonesia&#8217;s exit code <strong>001<\/strong> or <strong>008<\/strong> + country code: <strong>1<\/strong> for North America \/ <strong>33<\/strong> for France \/<strong>\u00a061<\/strong>\u00a0for Australia\u00a0+ the number of your correspondent (without the first 0)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8211;\u00a0Calling from\u00a0abroad to Indonesia:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dial international access code:<strong>\u00a0011<\/strong> in North America \/\u00a0<strong>00<\/strong> in Europe \/ <strong>0011<\/strong> in Australia + Indonesian Code (<strong>62<\/strong>) + 0 + area code + phone number.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8211; To call collect:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Call 101 and ask for a collect call<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8211; Where to call?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phone shops: run by the national company Telkom or private companies (Kantor Telekomunikasi = Telecommunications Office <i>aka<\/i>\u00a0<strong>Wartel<\/strong>= the local abbreviation for <strong>War<\/strong>ung <strong>Tel<\/strong>ekomunikasi).

They operate by coins or phone cards, but do not allow you to make calls abroad. The phone cards can be purchased\u00a0at post offices and small shops nearby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*A minute of long distance calling costs around 600 Rp around 7000 Rp for international calls. Please note that calls made from a hotel\u00a0will\u00a0cost you\u00a0more.
