Terrorist attacks and protests are also quite rare, but they can and do occur, especially during politicized events and global summits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at these two common crimes and their risk level in further detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pickpocketing and Theft in Bali: What to Watch For<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickpocketing and bag snatching are fairly common in Bali, as they are in places with high numbers of tourists. Pickpockets typically ride motorcycles to target pedestrians or sneak up on shoppers in shopping malls. They often work in pairs or groups and strike when tourists are distracted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid being a victim of pickpocketing in Bali, make sure you don\u2019t wear flashy jewelry or hold on to valuable items that make you stand out as a valuable target. Keep your bag close to you and don\u2019t leave it unattended, and exercise caution when in crowded areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Risk level: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-24' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-Banner_Asia_5.jpg\" alt=\"blog banner asia 5\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tourist Scams in Bali and How to Avoid Them<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From fraudulent ATMs to fake taxi drivers, scams targeting tourists are also very common in Bali. In fact, there\u2019s an entire ecosystem built around scamming foreign tourists out of their money. With that said, there are some scams involving criminal gangs that are far more dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at some common scams on the island and how you can avoid them:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fraudulent ATMs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Make sure you only use ATMs inside banks or other reputable locations to avoid fraudulent ATMs that have card skimmers. What\u2019s more, make sure you cover your pin number and aren\u2019t being watched.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unofficial Money Exchange:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t be fooled by exchange rates that are too good to be true. Chances are, these are unofficial money exchanges that may scam you out of your money.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Untrustworthy Visa Agents: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/best-places-to-live-in-bali.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live in Bali<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a digital nomad, you might be lured by untrustworthy visa agents.

In addition, ask the driver to turn the meter on when you get in to avoid being taken for a ride.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fake Monks: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also come across scammers who pose as pious Buddhist monks who offer a blessing in exchange for money.

Key Safety Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as travel destinations go, Bali is fairly safe for female travelers (including solo female travelers). With that said, female travelers are more susceptible to crimes like drink spiking and sexual assault.

Other natural wonders the island boasts include mountainous peaks, lush greenery, serene lakes, gushing rivers, breathtaking waterfalls, and quintessential rice fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>When is the high season in Bali?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High season in Bali is between April and October, which are the island\u2019s summer months. With that said, Bali attracts visitors all year round as the temperature and climate are always comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is it possible to travel cheaply in Bali?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As accommodation, transport, food, and living expenses in Bali are relatively low, it\u2019s possible to travel cheaply on the island. At the same time, the island also has its fair share of luxury properties and amenities for those looking to travel in style and splurge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Are there any drawbacks associated with visiting Bali?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other tourist destination, parts of Bali\u2019s natural landscape have suffered from the effects of overtourism. For example, you may end up seeing more resorts than rice fields \u2013 particularly in the south of the island. Other drawbacks include traffic and pollution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-72' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/css\/compare-72-new.css?v1.47' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\" class=\"inserter-72-link CompareNowbutton\">\n        <div class=\"inserter-72-new\">\n            <h3>Start by Comparing <br>Insurance Plans Online<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"inserter-img-box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/img\/desktop.png\" alt=\" \">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"inserter-compare-box\">\n                <p>Browse and Compare 50,000+ <br>International Health Plans<\/p>\n                <button>Compare NOW<\/button>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up, Bali is one of the safest places for tourists in Southeast Asia, and crimes on the island are also common occurrences in other tourist destinations.
