My gf and I are in Canggu! What’s the occasion??

letsgrowwithme 2mo

Looking to work with AU companies remotely while living in SEA — anyone doing this?

alegrammi 2mo

Hey there all!
A friend and I are planning to host a day workshop for Founders on Engineering Flow and Peak Performance. It's a small test before a much bigger retreat we'll host in Thailand in November.

Do you have any suggestion of cool venue where to host it? Nothing fancy, we just need a cool outdoor private area, some sitting and a white board (maybe a screen too, but not fundamental)

Also, if anyone's interested to join, let me know and I share more details! It'll be a nice chance to connect in person and share some edge tolls for peak performance 💪🏽

simjost 2mo

Stupid me was already in Kuta, Bali, but thought we were talking about Kuta, Lombok 😄
I'll be back on the 28th for 4 days 😄

chris 2mo

🙂
enjoy lombok ^^
shall we do on 25th then?

elpol 2mo

No, you’d be the first in the history of mankind

brendanb 2mo

I am. It’s perfect for it.

nagardy 2mo

Hey everyone. 👋

Hi! Has anyone experiencing issues with the e-visa website for Indonesia lately?

I've been trying to apply for a 60 days visa since yesterday but everytime I try to save the application the page gets stuck and I can't continue. I already tried different devices and browsers.

sescotti 2mo

I think I had an issue the other day but I just checked and it seems to be working fine for me now

jackpeagam 2mo

super random request, anyone in canggu area have a spare microwave i can purchase lol

sescotti 2mo

anybody thinking of attending the Indonesian Grand Prix in October? (MotoGP)

simjost 2mo

Sorry, my original messaged had a typo in it. I will only be back on the 28th for 4 days.

canderson 2mo

Hi all! I'm visiting Bali Sep 29th -> Oct 17th, first time in SEA. Mostly looking to dial in on work, meet other great nomads, and try to keep up with all the influencers in the gym

I've got 5 nights booked at Tribal Bali to start, just wondering where to go after that?

Should I just find somewhere near B-Work for the other 14 nights? Or go check out another part of the island? Feel like Cenggu is probably the place to be for nomads, but not keen on the parties and crazy Australians 😬

chrisrdodd 2mo

It's really up to you. Canggu is definitely the densest area for nomads. To avoid the 'crazy Australians', just don't go to Kuta

canderson 2mo

Gotcha, thanks 👍 Think I'm just reading too many horror stories on reddit, haha

Hi Nomads

sergiocgn 2mo

Hi, can someone recommend a visa service?

imranlalani 2mo

bali solve are great

imranlalani 2mo

used them for years

imranlalani 2mo

a bit more expensive

imranlalani 2mo

but a know a bunch of friends who tried to find a cheaper option and ended up getting screwed over

so would recommend you pay a little extra for piece of mind 🙏

sergiocgn 2mo

Sounds like a good advice, thank you

imranlalani 2mo

they are based in canngu sides

chrisrdodd 2mo

hubrmnjvb Going to another meetup in Pererenan at 5. Alright if I arrive a little later at yours?

brendanb 2mo

North end of Ubud is very cool. Or you could try one of the Outpost coliving there

sinkync 1mo

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a coworking place in canggu. Can you recommend one with good internet and community

chrisrdodd 1mo

If you're looking for the best, look no further than Bwork

sinkync 1mo

Thanks

promptflix 1mo

Anyone around Pererenan area - would be keen to do a community dinner at Bokashi next week

chrisrdodd 1mo

Maybe use the meetups feature to propose a meetup?

alegrammi 1mo

Hi all!
If anyone is in Ubud next week, we are hosting a cool event at Outpost 😀

kylewolt 30d

What’s up Nomads

Looking for a good and well priced coliving space in the Canggu and surrounding areas for my wife and I.

Basic room with access to the coworking space would be ideal.

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated,

Thanks,

chrisrdodd 29d

Sokkool is the only one I know of. It's in Berawa

paul21311 27d

🌴 In Bali building a Web3 + AI MVP.
Looking to meet local builders & creatives – DM if you want to connect!

anomad 27d

web3 + ai? i'd add crypto

anomad 27d

just kidding 😂

davetheexplorer 26d

Hey all, I gues nomeo is the best place for finding local meetups etc? I am in ubud and trying to connect with local nomads :)

damir 25d

Any idea how to get Trazodone in Bali? It’s a psychotropic controlled drug for insomnia.

I reached out to some clinics and hospitals but none offer it.

marsella 25d

Hi! My wife and I are considering Bali in sept-nov. She would like to help on some farm (maybe where they do also yoga) while I'll be working on a laptop. Do you suggest any place? :)

yassineaboukir 22d

Anybody has flown with a surfboard bag from Bali to Philippines with "Philippine Airlines" and have an idea what's their baggage policy with regards to surfboards?

yassineaboukir 22d

The information online doesn't seem to be accurate sadly

athousandcups 21d

I saw someone talking about registering imei at the airport - I tried on my way in this time but they don't really do it for short stays, and it turns out it didn't impact my ability to get a sim card (with a number) at all

chrisrdodd 18d

It will after 2-3 months though

chrisrdodd 18d

How long is a short stay?

chrisrdodd 18d

If you don't stay longer than 2 months then it doesn't matter

athousandcups 18d

yeah short stay = 1 month

brendanb 18d

Anyone want to go for a surf this week in Canggu or Kuta? Looks like a good week of smaller surf 🏄‍♂️

carlesbrunet 17d

Anybody who went to a "monk monastery" for couple weeks/months here?

suuuupaman 16d

For visa, are we able to apply for a longer one or we must extend past 1 month if we want to stay for 2-3?

athousandcups 16d

I believe you can apply for a two month max with the opportunity to extend one more month past that

athousandcups 16d

anyone have any social events that they enjoy in ubud? all the events seem to be yoga/meditation/therapy - any that are good for just meeting new people?

yaroslavl 15d

Does anyone know if by obtaining a digital nomad visa you automatically become tax resident?

chrisrdodd 15d

no. you need to register for tax here

chrisrdodd 15d

not the same as getting a visa

zubair 15d

Ya'll for a first timer in Bali, is it better to get a place in Ubud instead of Cangu?

melunia 14d

Id say yes

brendanb 14d

Do you like the jungle or the beach? Yoga or clubbing?

chrisrdodd 14d

Really depends on what you're looking for

somavakien 14d

I do not want to sell anything in bali :D

somavakien 14d

But of course iam using there network

somavakien 14d

I think only yes if i stay over 90 days right?

victorg18 14d

Hello ! For those who work in digital marketing, are you able to login to your Meta Business Manager ?

Since I’m in Bali, impossible de connect because I don’t receive my sms code. And impossible to create a new one (automaticly blocked by meta)…

paul040 14d

Well it seems like that's what theyre asking

axel 13d

Sounds more like a 2FA problem than Meta. I've been able to manage it fine in Bali

athousandcups 13d

anyone have a good car rental (with driver) rec? I'm getting quoted 950k for one day which seems high :/

axel 12d

Seems very normal. You can get cheaper around 800k max but that's about it

axel 12d

It's included gas

athousandcups 12d

I guess wikivoyage is a little out of date

yacine 12d

Hello everyone.
First time in Bali. staying in seminyak. Can anyone recommend good spots for coworking?

meglio 11d

Hello everyone, I'm an Australian freelancer wanting to spend a week in Bali to work on a hard problem and have comfortable and clean space, good food cooked for me, room cleaned, pool and gym, ability to focus in quietness, lots of daylight, but also some nice places walking distance from where I stay. Any recommendations from those who had similar experience first hand? P.S. I've never been to Bali.

chrisrdodd 11d

Interested to hear the answer to this one

chrisrdodd 11d

I guess you're looking for a premium coliving space

chrisrdodd 11d

Except maybe without the communal aspect to it

promptflix 11d

Outsite.co

merraysy 8d

I’m down

hugohb 6d

Hey peeps, can anyone give me a rough estimate of the cost for a ride from Denpasar airport to Amed? I was just quoted 800k IDR, but that feels quite high.

It'll be my first time in Bali so I'm not quite aware of the local prices yet.

paul040 3d

Bro what's that 10hr drive? 😁

chrisrdodd 3d

Should be about a 3 hour drive

sescotti 3d

does someone have a good laundry to recommend in Canggu? it's a common occurrence among everybody I talk to to find new stains in the clothes regardless of where you send them, how many instructions you give them, etc. plus they ignore you when you call them out on this and claim that the stains were there already.
quite disappointing experience overall.

cd 3d

DD laundry in Cemagi

sergiocgn 3d

Hi all, I already registered my phones imei 2 times in Bali. I need a way to have mobile data without registering my imei. Any recommendations?

angel 3d

Get a new sim card every month. I recommend you doing it at Happy Cell in Berawa

sergiocgn 3d

Only possible to do 2 times, because they register IMEI

angel 3d

Oh damn. I’ve never registered my IMEI, so for me it works every time

axel 3d

Buy a cheap phone in Indonesia and use it as a mobile hotspot. That's how I did it for 3 years.

brendanb 3d

Yeah me neither. Is this obligatory

elpol 2d

I think it’s decent, it’s quite a long way. I’ve seen people pay 500k from Oldmans to Padonan 😁

willflowers 2d

Does your phone support esims? If so, there should be plenty of options, depending on whether you need sms / voice or can just do with data. e.g. pangiapass.com

sergiocgn 2d

Yes, you need. You can register your imei only twice. If you want to keep using it they want pay tariffs on your phone. So if you want to max the 2 times out you need to go to some official place. If you do it in the small shops you will have 1 + 1 month covered. But if you do it here https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bsou3KdheGUtxCTN7. Then you can have 3 month + 3 months extension.

sullivan 1d

Heya, I’m thinking of hosting an event next week, what days would fit best usually ?

timothy 1d

Whats the best Bali Bustle or similar?

chrisrdodd 1d

the best what?

sullivan 23h

the what?

sullivan 23h

I found a good one to make a meetup if you guys/girls wanna join :

https://nomads.com/meetups#3ddfe4e883e278129a669ac85d5b7534

brendanb 15h

Any day but after 3 or 4 would be best for me :)

sullivan 15h

Perfect I hosted the event on 16th ;)

brendanb 15h

So what if you don’t do this and just do an eSIM like airalo? Can they fine you or smt?
