I need to know....

Is Bintang the only beer you can get in Bali? Its all I ever see/hear about over there...and is it any good?

No it's not, you can get San Miguel in most spots ( I rate this pretty highly ) and some places will have Heineken.

Is Bin Tang any good? Not particularly, I wouldn't buy it here, but it suits the climate and it didn't give me any hangovers or headaches etc.

While you're there a sunset dinner in Jimbaran Bay, fresh seafood, sunset, cold beer, feet in the sand....the highlight of my trip.

When I was there in August we stayed at an All Inclusive resort that only had Bali Hai as a beer option. I ended up going to the mini mart and buying Bintang even though all the piss was free in the resort.

x2. How much did that set you back Booney? I'm hoping to head over there next year. Never been before.

The trip or the dinner?

The trip with Mrs Boon and Miss Boon was around $4000 for 10 days with flights, accommodation and spending money.

[Booney]

And they spent!!

Get up to the volcano district in Bali, the main coast in and around Kuta, Seminyak, Legian is now no different to a shopping precinct on the gold coast, sadly. Except more bogans, if possible.

Nusa Dua for a resort type stay would be my preference.

... and I am sorry, Jimbaran is overrated and a bit of a tourist trap, if you haven't been by all means check it out but do your research and don't trust the taxi drivers! Some very average spots down there.

Of course it is....

[morell]

Probably.

It's got a bad reputation but I love it. You get out of it what you want.

A drunken lout foot tryp? - can do
A romantic luxurious getaway? - tick
A cultural awakening experience? - sure

First time I really didn't want to, mates dragged me. Been 6 times now

Its not exactly an uncommon opinion Boon Dawg don't get pissy. If you like it and had a good time all the power to ya.

Next time try Sanur too!

Yeah I understand like everywhere, you can go to certain areas for certain tastes, but going to Bali doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Not saying it shouldn't for everyone else though.

My missus is the same, refuses to go there on principle.

I'm not sure what that principle is, but whatever

Nope, never been there, never will go there.

Yet goes to Thailand. Pretty much exactly the same except the chicks have dicks

Never been and never had the desire to go, but heading there next March...5 couples no kids + cheap = pretty attractive!

Mines certainly not principles as I have none!
who knows, I may go one day when the kids are a little older.

[morell]

Just stay away from the toursity places if you're taking kids. It gets real feral real quick. Heck even I've been blind drink in there.

Ubud would be a good place to start

The best comparison I have heard to date Bali Vs Thailand... at least in Thailand, they smile when they take your money.
