    During the pic of Covid-19, I worked from home for 2 months and half in a villa in Bali in Seminyak. It was a villa in a compound but it seemed like a private villa with big swimming pool, big garden and lot of trees. Due to the lockdown, the monthly price was around USD 400

    after living here for over one year i can say that it's cheaper to cook at home just need to know where to shop, switching from Pepito to the Bintang store can save you as much as 40 %. Also when it comes to accommodation finding a villa that is great for living it very difficult under 2k. Since most of the villas are built as holiday houses. Open kitchens are great but not ideal :D and most of the villas are lacking proper work/chill areas.I guess after a while here I started to look at things differently. Bali is still a great place and very affordable compared to other cities in Europe. Enjoy your time here, definitely spend some time in Uluwatu and Ubud just to compare the lifestyle, etc

    I traveled there to do some work for Viceroy some years ago. (I am a photographer). While shooting, something made me sick for over a year. Not sure if it was a bug or other. It essentially was like what "long covid" people talk about now but this was about 5 years ago. The. traffic, bugs, and this sickness has made me re-think Bali as a long term living situation. That said, there are many great things about living there for a young digital nomad. Low cost living and a great community. BTW. Love your Villa.

    • @susilopras4822
      @susilopras4822 2 роки тому +3

      Yes, the imported cost will have equal impact to both grocery price as well as restaurant' food price. Having said that, I don't believe that eating out is cheaper than cooked food at home. The price for eating out is still more expensive than cooked food at home. Marginally, albeit. The reasons for this is because of (1) the cheap labor cost of the cook and waitress and (2) highly competitive restaurant business in Bali so restaurant owner can only charge bare minimum profit.

      Her perception is common for her generation. If her friends were shopping at a local wet market, the prices would be quite a bit less expensive than the supermarket. Normally eating out is three times more expensive than buying the ingredients at the market and cooking them at home. She is incredibly naive.. OBTWI have lived in Thailand for 8 years. That same restaurant meal that she ate would be $8. We have found the prices at Bali have gone almost double post pandemic.

    I would agree that there is a huge variety of all western style food available in bali, the western style supermarkets are pretty expensive so dinning out is a good option if you prefer that type of food.

    Dine out as much as possible. Cost of lunch and dinner as you point out, cheaper than cooking. More importantly every time you step into a cafe or restaurant many locals benefit. To handover a $10 tip means so much to these people and everything they earn goes to the support of their families. Being generous in Bali is very easy to do in comparison to what have here. ✌️🇦🇺

    Bali is a great holiday destination and slowly getting back on its feet after Covid. I admire your enthusiasm about living there; yes much cheaper than UK, and anywhere else in the developed world! How are you planning to sustain this lifestyle? I found some of the costs much dearer than here in Australia; eating out is not as cheap as it was even 3 years ago. A lot of the restaurants are now charging Western prices, which will not encourage tourists to come back. Good luck with your adventure.🙃😀
