Bali… 50 days, but who’s counting down…. Much.

Every time I go there, I say never again. I don't hate the joint but I don't like it

A mate and his Mrs go every year, once a year, for 5 nights. They stay at the same fully inclusive resort and barely leave other than some beach walks and dinner on the beach. I can see why they do it given the costs but as far as tourist things go I'm up for somewhere else.

When we went in 2023, we ran into a lady and her daughter from Darwin. She goes to Bali 3-4 times a year because it is so close and cheap, and takes one of her three kids with her each time and leaves the hubby at home with the other two cause he hates it there.

I’m going over with a very open mind. I don’t want to be comparing Bali to say, Thailand. What’s better etc.

It’s just a week or so out of the cold Melbourne winter. Eat, drink relax.

Been to Bali once, but Thailand a heap of times for work. I prefer Thailand every time.

Thailand is miles better but the closeness of Bali to Australia holds the most appeal as many just head over for a week or less and Thailand is just that little bit further which turns some off.
We have been over a dozen times but Perth based work colleagues go over 3-4 times per year and even go there on long weekends for 2-3 days

6 hour flight to Bali, 9 hour flight to Thailand. Watch 1 more movie, no biggy. We have been to Thailand 4 times, so it’s a change of scenery really.

You can fly back from Bali during the daylight hours, massive win for mine as I hate the over nighters.

Yeah, we have an overnighter on the way home from Bali. Not a fan, but I used some points, so had to take what was on offer.

Yes, that’s fine for you Eastern state folk.
From Adelaide we need to go via another state or country to get to Thailand which adds many hours to the trip not to mention the debacle of some airport transfers. If Adelaide had direct flights to Thailand then I think a lot more would choose that option

[Corona Man]

That’s a fair point Jim.

[DOC]

We did once have a direct flight to Bangkok but long gone now. Ditto Hong Kong, Narita and Christchurch

A fair while ago for most of those.
Hong Kong resumption with Cathay has been pushed back several times and I honestly don’t think it will return but I’d say Haneda is a very strong shot in the next 12-18 months.
Once Qantas gets more deliveries they will look at some flights from Adelaide to Thailand and elsewhere

I'm heading over again in June, same deal, get away from the freezing cold to enjoy some heat.

I loved it last time, will be a little more relaxed this time as I don't need to do a few of the things I did last time. Having a minor hiccup though, the GF is coming with me but I think we have parted ways, will make it a tad awkward but we will remain friends and have agreed to still go.

I have a mate (yes, I know) that lives in SA but works FIFO out of WA, his work flies him to and fro where he opts to go, he goes to Bali most of the time instead of coming back home, he even got his girlfriend a job at the same mines so they do it together.
