Whilst I can relate to the enormous rise in accommodation cost over the last few years, I think you will be pushed to find anywhere in the world that is charging the same accommodation rate than they did a few years ago. I cannot comment on the whole wages thing, as I am uninformed. However you have to consider the facts...Fact...Bali is more popular than ever due to budget airlines offering too good to ignore airfares...Fact, prices do increase every year on everything, groceries, fuel, rent, mortgages, health insurance, travel insurance, every kind of insurance, restaurant meals, groceries, alcohol...do I need to go on? You are living in lala land if you think that Bali should still offer accommodation at the same rate that they did a few years ago.
