Haha it was just a long day Dean, The heat got to me but i can say it was such a great experience, We camped alot in Oz and had alot rougher bathrooms in our travels, The western toilet was a win for me haha. Something both myself and Matt will never forget and the people we meet that had very little but were so welcoming. That makes it. Thanks for feedback.

We are very spoiled and these people do it day in day out , But wow what a experience and the people we meet, What a adventure. Our beers was cold so we can not complain compared to what you had. The home stay was a highlight even though no luxury but great experience. Thanks for feedback

Thanks so much! We loved our time there too! It was a real adventure Matt loved it soo much , i struggled in the heat haha. Was worth it though Thanks for feedback.

Hi, Yes we bought these bags from 100,000 rp shop. Can not remember exactly which 1 but would have been in Kuta or Legian. There is plenty of these shops around, can not confirm though if they still stock them. Hope this helps.

@@BecMattAdventures Thnk uso much

Hi Debbie we actually just tried to go there in the last month as we know this place well, Sadly to there no fault of there own we could not review to a event (locals having next door ) would not been suitable for us to film and do the place justice, So we aim to go back in 2025 and be able to review it. It's on the list, sadly just didn't work out for us this time, but im sure it will be a goer next time. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for feedback.

How could you not love the food. Saying that us Aussies just about try anything haha. Thanks for feedback.

@ yeah, Brits and Aussies are wild to explore as tourists and are direct just like the Dutch 🤣 The first white man I ever met and physically touched was an Australian photographer in Hanoi back then in 1990, at an old aircraft museum in a cold winter evening. I was taken photo with an American jet and we shook hand. The first English sentence was practiced: “Where do you come form”. “Úc” (literally Australia in Vietnamese), he answered. I was 5 then 😆. First impression really matters. I also love Australia. I hope you had nice experiences in Vietnam. Seems like the currency is being kept weak to attract $ 🤣 what ever dollar it is.

@Mr.judele Aussie are unique haha, how could you not love Vietnam, the people the culture and the food and the best is price. Bec always say first impressions count. Thanks for feedback

Hi Melissa, First off thank you for your kind words and we appreciate your support. First , We went by boat as it was one of our bucket list is to travel on the Mekong river on a boat (not just do a tourist cruise to say you been on the Mekong ) and once Matt found this is a option he explored this further to cross international border on a boat on the Mekong, compared to overland in a bus, (which to us is very boring ) the boat crossing was a experience of a lifetime for us and very memorable. We had read many stories about the crossing and none seem to be true (horror stories). It was a pleasant experience and ran smoothly as per video. We have been on many buses (overnight buses and nothing really memorable about them haha, Its a means of travel., Also buses are known for many deaths as to speed and times they have to meet , so we only use them as last resort mainly. Cash is king and for smaller purchases we used cash but card for anything larger purchases and money withdrawal. We used our card for withdrawal in Riel (Local currency ) like $200 AUD worth and had Some AUD notes on us which we were going to change into some USD to have on us , Which Bong took us to the biggest bank in Cambodia , there was like 50 something tellers haha, AUD notes are very distinctive and being plastic always look great, We had some hundreds and fifties. The bank did not change the 100s notes and they had like 5 tellers look at them holding up to the light (It was soo funny) But they refused to change them ( Recommend to take $50 notes ) as they changed them no issues (I think it was more being a high value note they would not take the risk on them) , Strange i know. We knew the boat trip to get VOA at border was $35 USD and for easy travel have USD and pay in USD if you use this method for smooth experience, I can not speak for other entries and payment options as we only did this border entry to enter Cambodia. We think its worth to have USD to pay for visa on arrival as its uncomplicated, That's what they want , We always have some USD as we travel to many different countries and if anything goes pear shape we have some universal currency that will get us out of trouble ( say our cards stop working or lose your card ) we treat it as last resort insurance get us out of a tight spot. We got our USD before we went on holiday and knew we would need it for the border crossing, There was 1 lady on our boat didn't have USD to pay for visa , it was a bit of a issue and stressful time for the people involved , they worked it out but it was unnecessary stress i believe. Most things like transport and hotels we booked online and paid online by our card, Most things in Cambodia you can pay in USD or local currency , we paid for some train tickets in USD and they gave us change in USD and Riel (Local currency) usually bulk in USD then last bit in Riel (Strange i know) Don't know too much about IBIS bus, like most buses , we try and only use them as last resort. We always try and book VIP buses as they hold 20 people and Normal buses hold 30 people ( Explained in our Chau Doc video at start. ) We did not do Siem Reap and this weeks video shows another adventure we did in Cambodia (Again we will never forget it , as it was sooo unique ) as we left SR for another time, Matt always keen to do something unique and not the norm (it's not for everyone ) We were more transiting through Cambodia We will head to Thailand as well as next time we want to do SR and the coast and few other places in Cambodia. Hope some of our videos can be of help. The border crossing for us to Cambodia up the Mekong was a highlight for us and something will never be forgotten. Thanks for feedback and if we can be of help , Please reach out. PS, Be mindful in Cambodia of petty crime, No need to be scared but be very mindful. Its 1 place in Asia that a little self care goes a long way, no need to have your holiday ruined. ( don't wear valuable and keep phones and tech very close to you ) We did not have any issues but we were very aware of our own safety to not let anything possibly happen.

@@BecMattAdventures , excellent information. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to more of your adventures

Your arriving quiet late, Its a 50/50 for a taxi to be sure as last flights out of Bali seems to be 1am , so less taxis would be dropping off. To make smooth sailing at that time i would either have a private driver organized, Or go to the 2nd option to the Blue taxi stand , Where they have the TV with prices and get a taxi from there. Would not want you to wait upstairs for long periods when there's a chance a taxi might not come for ages. Hope this helps Thanks for feedback.

Our plans was bit up in the air and we always found getting visa on arrival is always easy and simple (if it is available) Giving the passports to the boat people was very efficient and logical when you see how it all works and would recommend as it is a simple process. No one on the boat had a e-visa everyone just did visa on arrival, The process was very easy and uncomplicated. Being the first time in Cambodia for us i can not say about the e-visa situation but as for us (Australians) getting a visa on arrival was straight forward. Hope this helps. Thanks for feedback. PS - im only thinking here but if you had a e-visa i would say more than likely they still would hold your passport as the Vietnam side (they did everything) and Cambodian side would likely hand it back to you but im not sure exactly how it would work and vice versa depending on your path of travel.

I told Matt that but he said Bec look i am keeping this man in a job and saving the planet haha. He just doesnt like to admit hes just a tightwad. Haha Thanks for feedback.

Glad we could be of help. Your 100% right. Maccas was terrible compared to some great places we tried. The mango sticky rice was delicious and super yum. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the places you try and let us know your thoughts on them Thanks again

We did, we had some USD before we arrived to get us going while we were in Cambodia , Once there we went to a bank to change some more. So for us , would recommend having some USD to get you going for a few days at least and then change extra there if you need too. Have a great trip and sure it will be a experience. Thanks for feedback.

@ ok thank you so much. Looks like you guys are having a ball. thanks again keep the videos coming.

We agree! Love a market. The hotel was really lovely and a pleasant stay. Thanks for feedback.

If anybody can butcher languages , we can haha. Thanks for feedback.

@ wasn’t a criticism, I love you guys are having a go! 👍

@stevemoores2626 haha we know, we make a few comments in our videos how we have a go, usually wrong but having a go. We didn't take it a negative, we take everything as positive. We appreciate your support

@ do you guys live full time in Bali?

@stevemoores2626 Full time in oz sadly. Have to do that dreaded word called work for a living haha. We get over to Bali few times a yr and other places when our budget allows it. Thanks for feedback.

Gives you a good excuse to go back to Bali Haha. Glad it lives up to your expectations. Thanks for feedback.

Hi the location is Kuber BALI ADVENTURE , Address is Br Bayad, Melinggih Kelod, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia Hope this helps.

Don't understand your comment? is Bali just a scam?

Yes, our tip is bring your own tissues or napkins. Good to hear your wives found a great dish! We loved it, Thanks alot. Thanks for feedback.

Always welcome, We enjoyed them, Have fun Thanks for feedback.

I just looked up on the App, Airport to Kuta - 40-50K Rp Legian - 65K - 90k Rp Seminyak - 109K - 145K Rp Canngu - 160-220K Rp Jimbaren - 60 - 80K Rp Uluwatu - 167K - 220K Rp Ubud - 300K - 400K Rp Prices are Estimate and current as of Nov 2024 Hope this helps. Caveat is you can not book a bluebird from the app to get picked up from Airport. Use our trick and these are rough prices to those areas. Once in Bali then can use the app to book your rides.

@BecMattAdventures Thank you 😊

Matt reckons now he will review any Ham cheese toastie he sees in his travels now haha. He received some flak over it. Thanks for feedback.

Hi Colleen, Thanks for your kind words, As for a tailor, Had no experience and honest feedback, there is a few common ones if your in some Bali Facebook pages but we have no dealings with any sorry. We just came back from Bali and will have plenty of videos coming out soon. Stay tuned. Sorry we could not be more of help.

We were only there for a few days. As we were transiting through but stayed at a authentic Cambodian hotel called Okay Boutique in Phenon Penh. It will be part of next video. Very comfortable and for about $35 usd or $50 Aud was very comfortable and recommend. Stay tuned and see in next video. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you your too kind, Hope you enjoy our Adventures. More to come. Thanks for feedback.

Love it James, We did shooting in the USA and few types of guns, we are not gun people but same as you the recoil took us by surprise, Nothing like the movies. Haha. Cambodia for us felt like the last wild frontier that anything goes. Grenade , Rocket launcher that you could actually do live. Blows your mind. Any desire to go back James or Bali is for you? Thanks for feedback.

​@@BecMattAdventures Will certainly get back to Cambodia one day - most likely to the beaches of Sihanoukville. Cambodia does have its seedy side though. When I first arrived, I caught a motorcycle taxi from the airport to my hotel. The driver quickly asked me if I wanted any drugs. I said no, so he then asked if I wanted a lady. Once again I told him no. He then asked if I wanted a young girl - another no from me. It became even sadder when he asked if I wanted a young boy. After another no, he asked me if I liked guns. Finally he got a yes out of me - hence my trip to the shooting range. If you haven't already read it, I recommend you get a book called "Off the Rails in Phnom Penh". It gives a great insight into the dark side of that city. The author is Amit Gilboa.

@@jamesplunkett9567 James thats exactly how we felt there seems to be a dark side of cambodia that's if you want it and can happen. Lovely people that most have nothing but always a smile, Only thing we did felt bit unsafe walking at night compared to rest of asia due to petty crime but still a pleasent experience. Will check your recommendation out on that book. Thanks for feedback. We are only transiting through Cambodia when we did this trip and still good to see it.

Yes before UA-cam days and before covid. Was good but we didn't rate it that highly but we have tried alot in Bali. Will have to give it a review now in 2025 sometime. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for feedback.

Going on the Mekong is a highlight we look back on crossing the border that way, will never forget and the food places we reviewed were top notch and well worth eating at. Thanks for feedback.

Excellent idea! We always use the Grab app and it's great. Wise is good, We use citibank but is not offered in Australia anymore, Wise is excellent alternative. Be sure to let us know, we used it all around Vietnam no issues the Grab app and had our card connected to it. Hope it all goes well. Thanks for feedback.

Yes Natnat, Once thing about Bali , Just about everything is a Dupes. Haha Hope this helps Thanks for feedback.

Point taken, Thanks for feedback. We will take advice on board.

Bali anytime for us, As your from Qld like us, Bali is same from Oct to April, Hot & Wet. May to sept Hot and dry and less humidity but for us it doesn't worry us but overall Bali peak season is June to September. Hope this helps , we do both seasons as we travel a few times a year to Bali but that April to September is very mild and dry.

Thank you for your detailed reply; it’s greatly appreciated

Just down the road. :)

No , nothing pretty much went back and they did xrays to check everything was ok and installed the crown onto the implant. Nearly 12 months since we had it finished, 100% completely satisfied. No issues. The hardest part of whole procedure was at start could not eat anything hot for like 2 days. Haha As to any health check up, for us no but if your health is comprised see a health professional before you travel. Hope this helps

@@BecMattAdventuresthank you

Great question Colleen, I would suggest now as of Nov, Bali has automatic gates to enter and exit if you have a visa, you can get a visa at the airport and we usually do this but one time we waited 2hrs to pay for visa. So last time we did online before (apply for tourist visa B1 I think it is) And once at airport walked straight to automatic gates and cleared immigration in 20 seconds. So from now on will be doing it before we go, does take time to do it from home, took me about 1 hr for both visas but I'm at my home and comfortable. Only issues I had had to upload return ticket and something else in pdf form. That took most time to convert to pdf but I worked it out. The visa on arrival counter is hit and miss, times it been 5 min wait other times 2hr wait. Hope this helps. Smart traveller aust website should help you. Also will need to download satuhealth app, I can post tonight when home from work if you like. ( thats for monkey pox registration) They just ask basic stuff like what flight your on and seat number if there ever a outbreak. Hope this helps.

@ thanks we are going on the 18th November so I’ll look into this years ago had to pay in USD. If you could send me the links 🔗 would appreciate that

@colleenperry635 yes correct its 35 usd, which equates about 50 aud to enter. Ill post 3 links this arvo for you. 1 : immigration for visa 2 : customs link ( can do 3 days before you go) 3 : satuhealth pass ( monkey pox.) 2 and 3 just take screenshots on phone and keep on your phone and show at Bali when asked. Look at visa if you think its too much work can get visa at airport ( can pay cash in Australian dollars) If pay by card they will charge in Indonesian rupiah

@@colleenperry635 1 : Visa link evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/services 2 Customs declaration : ecd.beacukai.go.id/ 3: SATUSEHAT health pass (monkey pox ) sshp.kemkes.go.id/ Hope this helps

Glad it could be of help.

So good to hear, Hope you have a great time in Bali, Enjoy and if we can be of help reach out. We love people having a good experience in Bali. We always very happy there. Did you rate the garlic bread? Thanks for feedback.

@BecMattAdventures hi, we did try the garlic bread, and it was like pillows of puffiness of joy, without a doubt the best we have tried, mie goreng and nasi goreng also, washed down with lemon squash, for a couple from UK a cost of 198k IDR is crazily cheap. Love your videos, huge fans. Thanks.

Yes , We noticed that they had a good stream of locals picking up orders, As we say , If locals eat there you know its good. Thanks for feedback. We loved it.

Thankyou

Thankyou

Thanks very much.

Your very welcome. Thanks for feedback

Bit of both, card at most and cash for Banh mi for the 2 x brekkie reviews as they were so cheap. We always carry a both. Hope this helps.

Hope you had a great time in Bali, Glad it could be of use :D, Just finished Vietnam, Will be a few videos on Cambodia while we travel through Cambodia then head back to Bali for some videos. Stay tuned. Thanks for feedback.

Hi Tracey, We did Vietnam visa online in oz to enter Vietnam. To exit Vietnam was just a passport stamp in you passport with no cost to leave Vietnam ( i think it was about $50 aud roughly to enter Vietnam) We got a visa on arrival to enter Cambodia and was USD $35 each and as Australian we could get a Visa on arrival at Cambodian border that was the USD payment for to get a visa at the border. For the boat ride we just booked online and was charged in Vietnamese as per website. Thankyou for your kind words. Hope this helps. We thoroughly enjoyed it as we heard many stories about this border crossing and was not what we had heard. Was so much easier than we expected. We paid in USD $20 notes and didn't check them as they were bit old , but they thoroughly check USD $50 & $100 USD notes, that people were paying. Also we went to Cambodia main bank to change some Aust notes $100 note, to USD notes, the bank eventually declines them even though they are plastic and super crisps, but accepted $50 AUD notes no issues. I think they would not see alot of $100 AUD notes. Recommend take some 50 notes. We used EFT to withdraw some Cambodian Rial, but went to bank to get a few hundred USD notes.

​@@BecMattAdventures thank you so very much for the info, it's greatly appreciated. A friend and I are just at the beginning of organising a trip to both Vietnam and Cambodia for possibly late next year. Vlogs like what you've done are so very helpful. I think we will also do a water crossing. Oh and thanks for adding your Cambodian drivers details, ive saved them for when we will need them. Happy travels 😊

Your very welcome, That's exactly why we show them as to give the people confidence to do it and a step by step what to expect, we wanted to go the Mekong and more than just a 30 min tourist ride and thought this be a great experience, It exceeded our expectations and had heard some horror stories but nothing like we had heard. It was a super pleasant experience and a great journey to travel up the Mekong Also we mentioned the passport that boat company holds your passport as we were little nervous but was seamless and now understand why they do it. We try to show exactly what to expect. It's something will never forget.

Nope, I admit it.

There's more to James than just Bali, What a great story James, Something you will never forget. Look on the poor boy face and yours would have to be seen. Just like us travel up the Mekong has always been on our list and thought it was a Adventure worth traveling. Thanks James to a little insight of yours. Thanks for feedback.

Great experience, Recommend doing this to travel on the Mekong. Great journey. Thanks for feedback.

Not wrong, Unreal to be honest. Great work by them. Thanks for feedback.
