After coming back from Thailand this year and not having to experience that...it was wonderful.I really believe that if Thailand was the same distance as Bali to me , then that is where i would be going more often.The fact that you can sit on the beach and not be bothered in Thailand and if you say no they acknowledge and respect it....is amazing.
I love Bali but it does get too much sometimes..
This is also why i love Geneva as it is fixed price market stuff and i tend to try and stick to fixed price shops in the markets if i can.
I am going to be in Kuta again this next trip as i am taking family that have never been before.... but i think that a cure for my annoyment would be to not stay in Kuta area after that.....with that i mean go and stay in Ubud or Sanur or both and even half the trip in a place like Lovina just relaxing,with the exception of a day or 2.I really think after many trips it is sometimes worth steering clear of the main areas of Kuta/Legian.
Just a thought anyway
Cheers

P.S. I met AmandaPanda in bali last year....is she living in bali yet or just back up there for a break?
