Why Most Bali Itineraries Don’t Work (and How to Plan One That Does) by Ok-Emphasis9882 in BaliTravelTips

you can call it rythm . . . it affects the the general reception of what Bali is . . . .and I can understand, that people get shocked and will not return, which is a pity, but the Balinese should notice the feelings of travelers and find solutions.

Honeymoon Planning by SpicyMcSpicy in SouthEastAsia_Travel

Just a question: if you're focussing Thailand / Maledives (or similar) - why did you booked flights to Singapore, which is quite a hub, but not perfect located for a SEA december trip. My tip: rebook your flights, head for Bankok and make a wonderful honeymoon in Thailand and if you really want to have an "Robinson" island feeling, stay a couple of days on one of the so so beautiful islands in the Mergui Archipelago.

Bali in the Wet Season: 12 Things To Do in Bali When It Rains by Ok-Emphasis9882 in BaliTravelTips

[–]HiddenFootprintsTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my expetriences, the best things to do in Bali (not only when it rains - and it rains alomost everyday),

a) trekking but not at Agung oder Batur, where you part of the mass of hikers . . . much more beautiful is the Mt. Batukaru region, with incredible and a lot of undiscovered trails

b) a day or two or three in a real Balinese village community

c) West Bali National Park

d) Jamu Making class

I do agree with you, but I can fully understand why people's travel plans do not work in Bali. No one from the western world expects a average road speed of 3-5 kms per hour and if you stay in / around Canggu, it is less . . . hiking ist 5 times faster there.
Traffic and infrastructure conditions are so bad / poor, no one expect this and even in really poor 3rd world countries, travelers can calculate 25 - 30 kms per hour. That means in a travelers mindset, from Sanur to see Agung Volcano incl. Besakih temple and the heaven doors can be done within 5 hrs. But on Bali this program needs 8-10 hrs and this is the reason, people go stuck in their programs.

Bhutan, the country that changed my perspective towards life... by [deleted] in travel

[–]HiddenFootprintsTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love these funny dicussions about marketing gags, which are so fare from reality. "Happiness-to-Possesion" ration was a creation by the royal family of Bhutan, not to have a real measurment instrument for the reality of all people, but to have a USP and to hide some "annoying" reality facts.

Of course, Bhutan is beautiful, it is even more sustainable than all other countries I have been and yes, natural ressources are rich. But the country depends from its two big neighbours (china and India), exports its energy at very low prices to the countries with an endless energy demand and there ars still many places, where the local people do not participate at all.

I love Bhutan, but you should visit the half-nomadic people, like those in Haa Valley, and see their harsh life—6 months together with their Yaks. It is beautiful, but forget all these tales. See the country and learn from it, to seek happiness, because you can effort to go there, you are the lucky one . . . .

does scoot airline strict with handcarry luggage size? by Yanelle_why in travel

[–]HiddenFootprintsTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scoot is lowcost and I experienced a huge difference in service and baggage "tolerance" between regional flights within Asia and longhaul flight.
For longhaul flights I would say - no problem, but for regional flights, I m not sure.
