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><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickpocketing and Theft in Bali: What to Watch For<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickpocketing and bag snatching is fairly common in Bali, as it is 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><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-59' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<!-- Blog Banner Stylesheet Import -->\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/css\/m-blog-banner.css?ver4.1' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<style>\n@media (min-width: 1200px) {\n  div.banner-insurers-container {\n    background-image: url('https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner  \/img\/blog-banner-asia-bg.png');\n\n  }\n  div.banner-insurers-card-image img.bupa {\n    width: 50px;\n    height: 50px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<!-- Blog Banner Stylesheet Import ends -->\n<!-- Blog Banner Asia -->\n<div class=\"banner-insurers-container\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/img\/blog-banner-asia-bg-mobile.png);\n\">\n  <h3 class=\"banner-insurers-title\">\n      Our Top Insurance Recommendations <span>for Asia<\/span>\n  <\/h3>\n  <a class=\"banner-insurers-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\">\n    <div class=\"banner-insurers-card\">\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-image\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/img\/logo-cigna.png\" alt=\"Cigna\">\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-content\">\n        <ul>\n          <li>Worldwide Coverage (excluding the US)<\/li>\n          <li>Access to Cigna's trusted global network of hospitals and doctors<\/li>\n          <li>4 Core Insurance Plans<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <button class=\"banner-insurers-card-button CompareNowbutton asiarecbutton\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog';\">\n        Get a Quote NOW\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  <a class=\"banner-insurers-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\">\n    <div class=\"banner-insurers-card\">\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-image\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"bupa\" width=\"130\" height=\"130\" style=\"width: 70px; height: 70px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/img\/logo-bupa.png\" alt=\"Bupa\">\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-content\">\n        <ul>\n          <li>Lifetime Renewal Possibilities<\/li>\n          <li>24\/7 Medical Help via Global Virtual Care<\/li>\n          <li>Direct Billing Options<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <button class=\"banner-insurers-card-button CompareNowbutton asiarecbutton\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog';\">\n        Get a Quote NOW\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Blog Banner Asia ends --><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Risk level: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tourist Scams in Bali and How to Avoid Them<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From fraudulent ATMs to fake taxi drivers and beyond, scams that target 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 and 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.

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><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is the high season in Bali?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High season in Bali is between April to October, which are the island&#8217;s summer months. With that said, Bali attracts visitors all year round as the temperature and climate is always comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it possible to travel cheaply in Bali?<\/span><\/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><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any drawbacks associated with visiting Bali?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other tourist destination, parts of Bali\u2019s natural landscape has suffered from the effects of overtourism. For example, you may end up seeing more resorts than rice fields &#8211; 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-66' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<!--<p><button class=\"mo-modal-open\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-banner_V2_Asia.png\" alt=\"Insurers recommendation blog banner Asia v2\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/button><\/p>-->\n\n<!-- Blog Banner Stylesheet Import -->\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/css\/m-blog-banner-v2.css?ver5.2' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<style>\n@media (min-width: 1200px) {\n  div.banner-insurers-card-content-v2 ul {\n    margin-top: auto;\n    margin-bottom: auto;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<!-- Blog Banner Stylesheet Import ends -->\n<!-- Blog Banner Asia - v2 -->\n<div class=\"banner-insurers-container-v2\">\n  <h3 class=\"banner-insurers-title-v2\">\n      Our Top Insurance Recommendations in Asia\n  <\/h3>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\">\n    <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-v2\">\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-image-v2\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"130\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/img\/logo-cigna.png\"\n            alt=\"Cigna\">\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-content-v2\">\n        <ul>\n          <li>Worldwide Coverage (excluding the US)<\/li>\n          <li>Access to Cigna's trusted global network of hospitals and doctors<\/li>\n          <li>4 Core Insurance Plans<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <button class=\"banner-insurers-card-button-v2 CompareNowbutton asiarecbutton\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog';\">\n          Get a Quote NOW\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\">\n    <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-v2\">\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-image-v2\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"bupa\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/img\/logo-bupa.png\"\n            alt=\"Bupa\">\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"banner-insurers-card-content-v2\">\n        <ul>\n          <li>Lifetime Renewal Possibilities<\/li>\n          <li>24\/7 Medical Help via Global Virtual Care<\/li>\n          <li>Direct Billing Options<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        <button class=\"banner-insurers-card-button-v2 CompareNowbutton asiarecbutton\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog';\">\n          Get a Quote NOW\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up, Bali is one of the safest places for tourists in South East Asia, and the crimes on the island are also common occurrences in other tourist destinations.
