Where to change money?
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who answered my question about excursions. Where is the best place to change money? Is it possible to pay with a taxi driver in dollars or only in local currency? Tipping in dollars or local money and how much? How many dollars do you need to take with you (I understand that the question is stupid), so as not to look into your pocket, but also without foolish extravagance? Thank you.

There are many change offices, the rate is different, do not change in hotels - the rate is bad. Drivers will be happy to take both in dollars and in local money, as you agree, sometimes the cost in local currency may be more profitable for you. With the driver, you immediately agree on a price, so you pay the amount that you agreed on. Lunches, dinners, massages, entrance tickets - in local money, tips as you like, it's voluntary ... Thousands of greens without any special purchases on excursions, dinners and tickets are enough ...

When we were in Bali (several years ago) the exchange rate was 8 thousand rupees per dollar. So keep in mind that if you tip a thousand rupees, it's about 12 cents. It seems to you that a good piece of paper, but in fact - is nonsense. The Balinese understand this very well. I remember that then an elephant ride in Ubud cost $ 200 for three for half an hour. If you want to save money, always ask for the cost of the tour in dollars and in local currency, compare and choose which is more profitable. You just need to give the driver $ 40 for the day, do not try to bargain too cheaply, you still have to drive with him all day. In any case, you need both currencies. It is better to change money simply at the bank, and the first amount at the airport, at least they will not be deceived there. It is better to take at least $ 1500, in extreme cases, do not spend everything.

it’s best to do this: change 50 dollars upon arrival at the port (the exchange rate is unfavorable) BUT: after leaving the arrivals hall, walk 30 meters straight ahead, there will be a glass mini-market on the right side. Buy a SIMpaty SIM card in it and immediately put money to the account, check it on the spot, save drastically on calls home). And the best course is in the village of Bualu (immediately to the left of the hotel, still to the left at the gate) .There everything is within walking distance.
