A lot of places in Indonesia has become very touristy to a point where prices have gone up considerably. But in Ubud prices remains low compared to places like Kuta or Gili. That’s why it was my favourite place in Indonesia by far.
1. Accommodation is really cheap and very traditional. It is a typical Ubud thing to see fancy decorated doors for even a cheap accommodation of 10$ to 12$ for 2 people a night. Sometimes it even includes breakfast!
2. The Monkey Forest Sanctuary. I’ve never seen so much free roaming cute monkeys in my life! One must be careful of their belonging though, as these cute things are a master of thievery. If you have a piece of banana, you may even get a monkey selfie. You can even get it without the banana sometimes.
3. Cheap food. Yes Ubud has a lot of cheap quality food. Indonesia is already cheap if you’re earning dollars but Ubud is definitely another level of cheap. If you’re patient enough to drive a little bit away from the commercialised area, you can find good food in a fancy looking place for a very affordable amount.
4. The rice terraces is a sight to behold. Although sometimes you might feel rip-offed by mandatory checkpoint-like donation spots for every climb you do. It’s still worth a visit.
Nice post. I just share on Twitter.
Thank you Varda. It makes me miss Bali terribly.
This is really interesting, Floraine 😀
Time to book a visit Inez.
nice food looks delicious and the smells good
It is indeed. I’m going to travel back to Indonesia next month for more cheap and tasty food 🙂
It looks like an incredible place to visit
It is! I might come back again next month 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful place!
It is! I’m thinking of doing a second visit 🙂
This looks so good Floraine! I only like eating stuff if it’s cooked with brown rice and if it’s vegeterian because I’m a pescatarian.
Hi Andrew I’ve started with brown rice diet as well. Pescatarian mean you eat no meat apart from fish meat right?
Great post. The food looks great 🙂
Food looks great.
Taste good too 🙂
Place is cool
This is the first of your posts I’ve come across reading today and tell you what; I liked it, especially the photos are lovely. Well done.
Thanks Nadeem. I do think blogging helps showcase those photos 🙂
Sounds greats.
Amazing photographs Floraine. I absolutely loved the monkey forest, we went there in February. I had a monkey climb up onto my shoulder and eat the banana and sweet potato I had – and he stayed for over 10 minutes!
I got bit by a monkey when I was little so I am not sure I’d be brave to have one on my shoulders. Lucky you ❤️
Looks like an amazing place to visit, especially when it is more affordable!
What a beautiful place ?
It is. Life is so simple as well I plan to go back 🙂
