I'm based in Canggu.
Lots of co-working spaces here. And great food.

Some examples of food/quality/price in your area? I have been to Bali a couple years ago - tourist areas only in Ubud and Kuta only and dont have clues about local food out of tourist restaurants. Thanks!

****in sucks, but thailand/indo wet seasons are opposite. I switch back and forth during these times. Leave indo in november imo, come back around songkran.

local food and tourist restaurant are completely different things. Bungkus and fried noodle/rice at local places is 50 cents per filling meal.

tourist restos on the nicer end will be about $15-20 per meal.

I eat well for $4-6 per meal, and I guess this is mostly what ur referring to with your contradiction of local food from (lower) end tourist places

Food places are spread out through Canggu. The most concentration of restaurants are probably Seminyak, just south of Canggu. I ate at restaurants every other day. For non-Indonesian food, you will pay $4-$8 per plate

Regarding Canggu, there are healthy options including Thai, local, vegan and vegetarian, etc.
Places I've tried include:
-Motion Cafe
-Macan Cafe
-Dimsum House ($10 buffet)
-Warung Heboh (Indonesian - cheapest option)
-Lupe Canggu ($6 buffet)
-Thai Kitchen

Hello. I saw some people having problems accessing poker sites in Indonesia. Anyone has updates about that?

I will likely be back in Ubud at the EOY or next year and I wanted to know if any of you experienced and enjoyed one of those board games café? I searched on google already obv but would like to hear any of your personal experiences.

I went to Downtime Cafe in Seminyak for a Tinder date. I'm not really too into board games, but it's a cool place. Two floors, tons of games, really helpful staff that's enthusiastic about the games. Good prices for drinks and stuff - they serve beer as well as all the coffee you'd expect. Tinder date went well, too.

GG for the date. I'm happy to read your post, I had great hopes about this specific place indeed. Since I have stopped playing poker, I really missed competition (in games) and it is difficult to find players who put a lot of heart when playing except in such places - at least in my experience.

I'm having tons of problems accessing sites. Most poker sites are blocked and strangely enough are also blocked when I use a VPN from Singapore, Europe, America. Really don't understand what's going on.

Any grinders here from Ubud? I used to be pro for 4 years, almost got SNE on stars. Looking to get back into the game and connect with some players here to chat.

wen accept vaccinated tourists?

Traveling to Bali in May. Any US online poker sites that are not blocked? WPN or Ignition?

I can't give a comprehensive answer to this, especially because I don't use poker sites anymore, but I can say that what's blocked varies hugely - I think based on ISP, but not sure exactly. I stayed in 2 different villas in the same area. In one of them, I couldn't access 2+2, reddit, or even Netflix without a VPN. In the other, everything was accessible.

So my advice would be that if you decide to come to Bali, test the internet and see what you can access before you commit to a place.

I just arrived in Bali and are planing on staying for 1 year. Im in Canggu now, and would like to meet other pokerplayers here.

I'm in Bangkok for 5 days from 9th Aug. Any games happening?

Hi! Nice thread. Just spent a month in Bali and have couple of questions.

First, what would you say are nice beaches for tanning & swimming with minimal trash? I visited plenty and managed to find only one - Double Six Beach. And compared to Phuket it wasn't that nice looking, but at least there was no trash and sandy bottom. Is that it or did I just run bad?

2. What is in the northern part of island? I went to as far as Ubud only. Is it mostly densely populated local areas with bad traffic?



My favorite part of the island was Uluwatu, only area I could find where traffic was a bit more chill and you could actually enjoy driving around motorbike

And Nusa Lembongan island was also great - just 30 minute boatride from Sanur port, one really nice beach (Dream Beach) and very cheap.

Hi man, very nice post!
Are you still in Bali?
Do you know if is still possible to play on PS or GG?
Thx

im currently in bali, just been here a few days, just travelling around atm for a month with the gf, but potentially could stay here after to grind been living in different countries grinding for many years, would be down to meet other poker players living out here and get intodruced to any poker communities. is there any skype/ telegram/ discord group chats for poker players living in bali?
