In Reply to: is 10000 really enough for the porters? posted by vincent on Tuesday, 13. April 2010 at 18:54 Bali Time:
two or three suitcases, a bag of duty free and a few meters! its plenty if you ask me!
Better than not using them and giving them nothing! Give it a try :)
But dont let your nervousness and their pleading eyes get the better of your purse/wallet when they show you the BIG 100,000.
Of coarse its up to you to give them as much as you want, but no need to be afraid of them,they are only pushy because you are resisting their service,all be it a short one!
The ones at the airport when you going to fly out "know you know Bali" so just take what you give them without a glance!
