Hi Murray, Thanks for your videos, its great to watch and find out about the real cost of living in Bali. We have been many times but never really found what we would like to spend longer in, like 3-6 months a year. Hotels are too expensive for longer stays. We are hoping to spend retirement time over there between 3-6 months each year. We watched the lease living video as well. Although we thought it a good idea, it wouldn't suit us, as we prefer our own space. Loved where Alan lives but its a little small and we would love a bigger outdoor space as we both like gardening. Would you be able to do a video on a home/villa type property with more of a garden, and pool, 1 or 2 beds, or see what you can film? :) We know it would be more expensive than Al's place, but maybe it is possible? Fingers crossed. Thanks Murray. LUV your work.
Amazing how ur movies look like they arent scripted and shoot in one scene. Love your laugh and the moments u bring joy to the people there! Let me know if ur visiting benoa in november because me as an dutchie loves the Aussies over there 🤟
What I like about Bali is big lush villas, everything done for you, top notch grub out and Gojek for home, and a beer or two at a bar a few times a day . I think this would cost me a bit more 😊
Chiang Mai fairly cheap here in Thailand. Lot cheaper than UK. I heard that back home even Warwick Davis is struggling to put food on the table. Joking apart 4 bed 3 bathroom £289 per month rent £100 utilities, scrambled egg in the morning and cottage pie every night with baked beans
AL: "We`ll do it again....Maybe HAHAH" Fantastick fella, always making me happy seeing you AL! Also very funny to see you go nutts in the shop! Vie kinda trying to hold back, just a little haha
loving your channel mate - can i ask for the details where Al gets his beer from. My daughter is an air hostess with jetstar - we have been to bali a bit and looking to up that in the next few years. love the local tips mate.
I was a Heinz baked Beans man all my life but living in Indonesia Cirio Baked Beans are just as good but half the price of Heinz. You should also buy your fruit and veg at a local market, cheaper than supermarkets.
Good on you Al - love how you are settled in there now and loving it! Away from Kuta, Legian and all along the southern tourist traps it is so much nicer and more cost effective. No issue getting your pension in from the CBA I’m guessing. Enjoy and thanks Muzza for the vid - a good one this time! 😜 PS - be great to save that $5 a day and heal your lungs Al!
Yes you are very right ! I am in shock 😮 you will have to go to open markets in Denpasar where the locals buy. Our supermarkets in Melbourne are cheaper. $3.50 for a kilo of drumsticks which is nice, But Council Rates, Water Rates, electricity & gas are killing peoples budget
I love staying in Sanur. Golden syrup is just sugar and water, if you can get the brown sugar with molasses, heat in a pan with small splash of water, any sugar will work but brown sugar will get the closest taste to the golden syrup you know. If you can't make it let me know and I will post some to you. I wish we still had hardware stores like that.
Looks like you’ve settled in really well Al. You’re an inspiration to others that it can be done and a good retirement can be had. 👏 Ps. Love Curtin radio too.
Other than the accomodation being cheap ..the rest of it food and beer is Aussie pricing .. I buy a carton of coronas here in Perth for $55 .so just over $2 a stubby and that’s what you said Bintang stubby was and Bintang is nowhere near the quality of a corona .. sadly Bali is no longer a cheap holiday destination
A few points You can stay at an executive homestay ( which is similar to what Al has) for half the price and it will include WiFi and water . You can buy a huge range of slow cookers in Bali. It is illogical to bring one from Oz as the power voltage is different. Smart expats shop at pande putri supermarket. One very close to Al.
Hi Alan , I hope you are cooking up a storm in the slow cooker 😊. The bonus of bringing it over to you was I had a massive amount of luggage room to fill on the way home 😂. Hope to meet you next time we come to Bali 🥰
Great video, the sooner we learn to cook & shop at Local market the better.... tourist zones are not for long stay people...cut down on booze, pack up the smokes...etc...😂😂😂....👍👍
There used to be a place like a hardware store in geraldton yrs ago Alan that you'll remember in marine tce the old fellow used to know exactly what he had and where it was everything you could think off . Enjoy bali ❤ ps love watching your stories muzza 12.00 dollars each last week for cauliflower in Aussie bugger
Love your videos and insights. My concern is medical/hospital treatment. How would you rank Bali’s hospital and medical facilities compared to Australia or Thailand/Malaysia? And would you consider having a major operation in Bali or go elsewhere? Thanks 🙏
Go elsewhere my mate who lived in Sanur passed away because of a bungled synopsis and treatment, go to Singapore, Thailand or Australia. He thought he’d be ok in Bali as he’d previously had a hip operation there and it went ok. But It’s too late when you find out it’s not.
We have had some serious medical issues while in Bali, we have been coming here for 40 years, and I can guarantee you that the service we received from BIMC and the local doctors in Kuta was a 1000% better than Modbury Hospital!
Grand Lucky if you look for AUD 40 imported ice cream cups or salmon for AUD 40/kg! Atrocious prices for imported food. Only for the rich Balinese and expats that are not price sensitive.
I’m a born and bred territorian from Darwin, now living in Alice Springs. I’m 45 years old and now single after being in a relationship for 25 years, lost it all to my stupidity. I’m sure that’s the same story as a lot of these lads. I assure you I’ll end up there in the next 15-20 years when I can get my superannuation. Lastly - to the exe pats, thank you for your service boys if it wasn’t for you we would be speaking either German or Japanese
There are a lot of bad motorbike crashes in Thailand. When I was in Bali I never seen any crashes. They just know how to drive in congested bike traffic.
Looks like it’s a little better then Australia maybe.😉 people living in 🚗 and camper vans and on the street we have the most expensive living costs and average property prices of 1 million 😮 in Australia stay as long as as you can there 😀👍🥂

It's depend on the life style or some one life style .. as a local here i only spent 5usd a day for meal , 45usd a month for a room to stay ( rumah kost )
A consideration should be the July change in the retirement visa laws. You now must show you have an income or in the bank AUD 4,400 for every month of your visa term.
@bradley1313 here's a better idea, if you think you can do it better start your own channel.sometimes the person you are chatting to goes off on a rant and it is not suitable, a good interview stays on point and keeps the audience informed

The amount of plastic needs to be addressed . Bali has a huge problem with plastic , but nearly all the food in that supermarket is wrapped in the stuff! "Pave paradise , put up a parking lot ............"

Fairly dumb comments here. If you are living in Indonesia and eating western, the prices are going to be high. If you shop at a western supermarket and eat food Indonesians don’t normally eat, the prices will be high because wastage will be high and freight will be higher as demand is lower. Go eat a Nasi Goreng and you will pay $0.50, eat a steak and potatoes and you will pay through the rook. Simple
Not dumb comments, to start with 50cents is 5000 rupiah, nowhere can you get nasi goreng for that price. maybe 20 to 30,000 from cheap warung. Also traditional Indo food is extremely un healthy and full of carbs. So yeh, food is cheap if you want to destroy your health. Diabetes anyone?

Looks like a good spot. Close to The Man Shed and the Hidden Garden Bar. 2 of my favourite places in Sanur.
Vietnam is a lot cheaper. Rent and food is cheap as but the food in that shop probably comes from Australia hence the price!

Nice to see a kiwi doing well in Bali. Murray is obviously very proud of his heritage as it's on full display for all to see.
Great video and all the aspects of living in Bali
The prices are nearly same as Perth.
That's why u only eat local fruit
Spot on bali a rip of
💯% agree 350gm of beef $75 + $21% taxes and services in medium warung in Sanur and Seminyak e.g.

Yeah, and beer is the same price. If I want to sit around doing nothing and drinking beer all day I will stay in Australia.
I live in a retirement village in Tassy.
My total outgoings are $735 a month.
Retire to Bali?
No way.

Still crazy expensive compared to 20 years ago. AL could have brought that room out right for 10k when they built it
It's brand new and would cost closer to $60k today to build..
Of course it’s more expensive than 20 yrs ago just like in Australia, everything is 4 times the price it was 20yrs ago

Just curious I noticed al smoking can I please ask the cost of cigarettes in Bali thanks
$2.50 - $4.50
Wow I don’t smoke anymore but there 50+ here
If you roll your own tobacco, equivalent to 120 cigarettes will cost $2.
