If $200 a day is traveling on a budget, I'd shudder to think what you usually spend!
I've never managed to spend an average $100 a day on any trip to Bali.
I've done it on as little as $40 a day and don't think I've ever averaged more than $70 a day. I'm not much of a drinker - don't mind the odd one or two but that's it. Don't do huge amounts of shopping but always manage to fill up my luggage. And I'm much happier eating at warungs and other local options than big flashy restaurants - especially since I usually travel solo anyway. That includes using a driver for a few trips, taxis all over the place and generally an extra night or two somewhere out of Legian while still keeping my "home base" hotel room.
I don't think I could spend $200 a day even if I had to pay for the hotel room as well, lol.
I budget $100 a day for a one month stay and always come back with plenty left over.
