Hey guys,
I am planning a trip to Bali soon and was wondering if someone could tell me about the local costs. I found this nice resource on the web, but I fear it has not been updated since 2003. Could a local or recent visitor let us know today's prices for the following:
A (very) rough idea of relative values...
•Bemo from the airport to Kuta: Rp.2,500 to 15,000 (bus / private bemo)
•Shuttle bus from Kuta to Ubud: Rp.15,000
•Taxi flagfall: Rp.2,500 plus Rp.1,000 per km (across town fare about Rp.5,000 - 10,000)
•Cheap car rental: Rp.75,000 - 150,000 per day
•Cheap motorbike rental: Rp.15,000 - 35,000 per day
•Cheap pushbike rental: Rp.3,000 - 10,000 per day
•Premium petrol (gasoline) is about Rp.1,000 / litre
•A night in a low cost bungalow: Rp.25,000 to 50,000 (per couple, including breakfast)
•A basic meal: Rp.5,000 to 10,000 (fried rice or noodles at warung / restaurant)
•A cup of tea or coffee: Rp.1,000 to 3,500
•A small bottle of pure water: Rp.1,000 to Rp.1,500 per 600mL (extra for chilled)
•A large bottle of pure water: Rp.1,500 to Rp.3,000 per litre (extra for chilled)
•A large bottle of local beer: Rp.5,000 (and chances are, it won't be ice cold!)
•Cigarettes: Rp.7,000 (less for Indonesian brands)
•A sarong: Rp.10,000 to 25,000 (plain / batik print)
•A t-shirt: Rp.10,000 to 20,000 or 35,000 (plain / print / brandname)
•A pair of shorts: Rp.5,000 to 25,000 (plain / board shorts)
•Fake watch (leather band): Rp.50,000 to 80,000
