Hey guys, first time coming to Bali, not sure what to expect been to many other Asian places.

How is it with the mosquitos and the open air villas?

Seems like not the most pleasant way to work at night?

Or do you rather recommend these for just a honeymoon?

chrisrdodd 3mo

Sitting in the heat, sweating whilst trying to be productive is the worst!

chrisrdodd 3mo

I don't know how ya'll do it

anthonyv 3mo

Hello guys! Coming to Bali for about a month and a half, starting 1st of November, i'm looking for a room in a villa, do you guys have something ? i'm a 29y old male, french, and recent Nomad digital working in marketing and community business. That will be awesome to meet you 🙂 All the best! Anthony

haarolean 3mo

Depends on the place, like mosquitos exist in Ubud but it’s more chill in canggu, for example. Humidity would be a bigger issue mostly

anthonyv 3mo

Thank you

alejandrorebr 3mo

Guys I’ll be back in Canggu in January for the second time since 2018. Any recommendations where to stay? If u a have a room in a villa or know a good guesthouse would love recommendations. Aprox budget 600 usd

curiousgeorge 3mo

Hey guys - i’m currently in Bangkok and from Australia and thinking about coming to Bali in the next week.

I’m currently on the lookout for a video editor so would love to come meet you if you’re there.

I’ve also got my own software business and would love to hang out with other entrepreneurs ✌️

kristof 3mo

Any specific area

anthonyv 3mo

i'll be around Canggu

maciejcupial 3mo

Hey, is Canggu good for a person that doesn’t like to party? More into healthy life, work, coffee. Or better Ubud? I will be some time in the island starting in Seminyak today.

I’m running a SaaS ~$23k, so happy to meet other SaaS founders.

kristof 3mo

Yes, you can do whatever you want there. There's just as many gyms as there are clubs

alejandrorebr 3mo

SaaS founder here also. Would be great to connect

curiousgeorge 3mo

if anyone around Canggu wants to cowork together sometime this week or go for a run lmk!

alexkaufmann 3mo

Does anyone know if there any whatsapp groups or cool business related events in Bali in Nov-Dec? 🙂

srg_b 3mo

Does anyone have a contact of a taxi driver in Ubud that they can recommend? Need someone to pick us up from the airport. Thank you!

paul040 3mo

Is there no uber in bali?

curiousgeorge 3mo

there is, it’s called “grab”

axel 3mo

Grab and Gojek exist.

Uber doesn't exist in SEA, they were bought out by Grab in 2018

chrisrdodd 2mo

Anyone know for sure whether you can get a Grab or Go-jek from the airport? My friend said she did it once but when I tried it it didn't work

curiousgeorge 2mo

yes you can - i got one literally a week ago

curiousgeorge 2mo

just be prepared to be absolutely hunted down by all the people pretending to be Grab drivers that are not and trying to get you to go with them

menace 2mo

Just ignore all the people hounding you and go to the scrap pickup area. There's a little green hub area for grab pickups. The app will also give you directions to it

dashaa 2mo

for me, Canggu beats Ubud when it comes to gyms, coffee, work, and a healthy lifestyle in general 🌚

axel 2mo

They're both great for different people. I lived in Ubud (and a local village 30 mins away) for 5 years. I like the calmness and more authenticity compared to Canggu.

But I am also not a spiritual yoga whatever. I sit in bars, drink beer and talk to my friends.

I always urge people to try both. Canggu can be intense and feel very artificial

kozaktex 2mo

I want to rent a place In Bali for approximately one month starting around April 13th, the goal is to have high speed internet also would be nice to be close to expats and balance cost with convenience as year year I’m hoping to live in the Asia area from 3 to 5 months and I’ll like to pick a country to be that home base, if anyone can recommend which city is best for this it would be greatly appreciated bonus point if you also have rental recommendations even sites that may be better then booking.com or airbnb

srg_b 2mo

There are posts just above discussing just that 🙂

maciejcupial 2mo

Hello, any meetups in Ubud? Or where people gather together? Will stay some time in Ubud and would be good to meet new people :)

axel 2mo

Depends on what kind of people you're looking for. We're usually a larger expat group meeting up at Why Not and El Toro for drinks & pool.

andre3000k 2mo

Hello everyone!
Anyone was opening Payoneer/Wise/Airwallex accounts using KITAS and indonesian address?

kan1992 2mo

Hi everyone! I have just arrived to Canggu, Bali. Looking for friends to hang out, workout and work 🙂

salonigupta 2mo

Hi everyone! I have just come to Canggu for 2 weeks. Any idea which meetups are happening? Looking to make new friends, chill and work 😊

claudiocronin 2mo

Hello guys, me and my friend Erdem are looking for a villa under 10million. We never stay home so we don’t care too much about house. Let me know if you have something interesting around canggu. Also for rooms under 4 million.

maciejcupial 2mo

You can try to reach owners at Airbnb directly, just talk to them you want to see the place first. I did it and rented a villa for 18 milion with a pool, was 50% less than offered on Airbnb.

maciejcupial 2mo

Anyone for a coffee, walk, sport activities or hanging out in Ubud? I’m not a party person and go sleep pretty early, but happy to meet in the morning or during a day. I’m an entrepreneur, running a SaaS business, into tech, but can talk about anything:)

carlossoratto 2mo

Hello! I'm in the KUTA area, but I find the beaches very polluted and dirty (plastics, bottles, cans...). Can anyone recommend beaches that aren't dirty? thanks.

natasha 2mo

Hi all, can anyone recommend good coworking spaces in Bali that work 24/7? In any area of the island.

afonsolfm 2mo

mbbrojovr Bwork

afonsolfm 2mo

beaches in Bali all suck balls, they just good for surfing IMO

axel 2mo

It's early raining season, this time of the year the current brings in a lot of trash onto the beaches.

It's normally not that bad.

But yeah as vlbauxcztpolphuqxohfvaffeflj said - the beaches are great for surfing but if you want that paradise vibe to them I recommend Thailand instead.

storyfied 2mo

Anybody in Sanur?

pikaivan 2mo

Hi 👋. Anyone up for padel in Ubud? I will be here for a month. Looking for company to play

elpol 2mo

Check Liga Tennis

salonigupta 1mo

Hi! I am in ubud this week and I’m looking for company to do the ATV ride. DM me if interested!

xedwardx 1mo

Hi, any SEO people in Bali? 🌴

sescotti 1mo

check playtomic, that's where you'll find most of the games. otherwise island sports and jungle padel have their own apps where you can also find games and tournaments.

claudiocronin 1mo

Hello! Im trying to do some stuff with SEO

claudiocronin 1mo

Lets meet

hoopyfrood 1mo

Hello, thoughts on coworkings in Canggu? Is bwork worth the hype? I'm deciding between bwork and tropical nomad, any other good ones? I'll be stayin in Perenenan. I'm looking for some community events, dinners, weekend trips, not necessarily yoga etc, I have gym for that.

chrisrdodd 1mo

I'm a long-term member of Bwork. I can't imagine working from anywhere else but if you're in Pererenan and looking for a spot on a budget, I'd suggest Tribal

chrisrdodd 1mo

I did Tropical Nomad for one month while on the waitlist to get into Bwork. Never went back

brendanb 1mo

Wifi sucks at Bwork for what you pay. But it is a nice space and they do some community events. I think it’s the best in Canggu but way worse than Outpost in Ubud.

hoopyfrood 1mo

Haha yeah I'm writing this from Tribal right now! it's alright, but I would expect a little bit more community-wise

hoopyfrood 1mo

So you like bwork much more?

chrisrdodd 1mo

Why you like outpost so much? The internet much better there?

chrisrdodd 1mo

I’m a huge Bwork fan boy but I won’t argue if others don’t like it

brendanb 1mo

It’s not like gbps speed or anything but more reliable than bwork. Half of the call booths have drop-outs in bwork even using their network cables.

I liked Outpost’s community managers as well. They used to do an afternoon tea chat I think every work day which was the best system for making friends I’ve ever seen at a coworking. And they would run regular events as well.
Bworks weekly afternoon tea is way too long and boring. I never really understand why Bwork has like 5 community managers but runs one event a week roughly.

eric124 1mo

Any cafe recommendations to work from in ulu? I don’t like cowork rip offs where you have to pay to go to the „office“.

071niklas 1mo

The best cafe I‘ve been for food + work was the Tarabelle, sadly it’s a few minutes from ulu. But since I‘ve stayed in Ungasan it was just perfect

eric124 1mo

Thanks I’ll try it out

chrisrdodd 1mo

I'm currently at Lemanja. It has both a coworking space and a cafe (both have internet)

chrisrdodd 1mo

75k breakfast special and a pool here as well

marksan 1mo

Whats flooding situation in bali?

chrisrdodd 1mo

I think it's fine now. No rain since last night

arnixking 1mo

Hello, does anyone can help me? I have extended my visa online and now I need to complete a photo capture procedure at a Immigration Office. Is it really only possible at these "Kantor Imigrasi"? Because it's 50 minutes away from my Airbnb.

jesseclark 1mo

Yes, you really have to go to the immigration office.

veedesigner 1mo

Hey , everyone
Does anyone know shipping from China to Bali ?
Air ✈️ or Container Ship 🚢

mati 1mo

When I looked at Canggu yesterday it was #3 in the ranking. Now it's #724. Is that a bug or it became so bad after the flooding?

fawwaz 1mo

I'm in canggue now, didn't notice anything. Though i know it was bad in some areas

mati 1mo

Oh ok. Great them. Thanks!

veedesigner 1mo

i am looking for Circle of Friends who Do Day Trading , any one here ?

pikaivan 1mo

Hey, folks! Can anyone recommend a good coworking in canggu with dedicated desks where i can put my monitor:)? thanks in advance.

rogosak 1mo

Bwork

chrisrdodd 1mo

I love Bwork too but they have zero dedicated desks

chrisrdodd 1mo

You can however bring your own monitor

paul040 1mo

Maybe you can also bring your own desk

chrisrdodd 1mo

I don’t believe so

paul040 1mo

Just try 😂

magdad 29d

Hey Nomads!
Magda here from Poland 🇵🇱
I’ll be traveling from Da Nang to Canggu on December 24th. I was wondering if you know of any Christmas dinners, meetups, or festive events happening that evening that I could join?
I’d love to spend the evening in good company and soak up some holiday vibes ✨
Thanks for recommendations 🎄

charliegb 26d

Check out nebula, they only have dedicated desks. Most people rent monitors and other stuff via monis

pikaivan 21d

Maybe someone will need it later. Tropical Nomads is a great coworking space. Coffee^ dedicated desks with adjustable heights. Not cheap - 3500 mln per month. But definitely it's worth the price.

jwjwjw 17d

Is Marc Lou in Bali?

jonathanhaslett 17d

Tomorrow, after a new years at Gilli's, I'm going to be in Ubud for a week or two.

Anyone around Ubud next week?
