BALI: SPEND RM500 FOR 2 DAYS AND 2 NIGHTS IN BALI


2015 girl trip 

are you a student? not enough money to travel? have big dreams? want to backpack to Bali with only RM500 but still wanna do it in style?  same la kite....

spend only RM500 in one of the most romantic destination in the world. Spend little, enjoy more.



Hi!!! it's me, Reggie. obviously im gonna post first since i havent given Mardy the password to this site haha. ok, I have decided that the first thing i wanna talk about in this post is how much we have spent on our very first trip abroad together. :) since we were still doing our internship when we suddenly decided to go to Bali!!!!!, we didnt have much. Masa tu depend dgn duit elaun rm 700 sebulan.. wuwuwuw.. duduk Damansara, naik keta p tempat keja needed a lot of money.. We barely survive that month. Me and Mardy, we were talking about our future in the cafeteria about how we want to do a solo travel. so long story short, the first place that popped in my mind would of course be Bali, Indonesia. i donno. i have been planning since the past two years but have no guts to do so.. anyway....



stay tuned.. i have listed all of our spending below. how i use only RM500 for my trip to BALI. #Balispending #backpacking in Bali with style. 

entah tetiba nk masok laman web skyscanner.com and ngecek flight ticket to Bali.. uuuuu.. dapat la dalam rm 480+ return with Airasia. Elaun dapat RM700 je sebulan. wuwuwuw.. tolak tiket flight da tinggal cukup makan and bayar minyak keta nk p intern. sedey kot. tp xpe... Mardy cakap " xpe.. buat dulu.. duit cari kemudian" since then both of us have been living with that motto.. haha.. do first, money later... 


how we got money eventually? we worked.. at a mall nearby our condo. yep.. my first experience as well.. ok.. back to the point. 


tiket flight 480+ MYR

we booked a flight that Friday night coz it was the cheapest . n booked a return flight on Sunday night. ok dalam purse ade rm500 yg da di convert jadi IDR1601721.74 uuuuu.. bejuta juta juta...  tp ingat... Bali is a tourist attraction.. walaupun 2 hari 2 malam, angus jgak semua tu sey.. sigh.. spent all though..

dlm flight sempat bli air bagai sbb haus. haha.. xingat la bpe ribu.. rasa ny air dlm IDR9000 (RM3 masa tu)

smpai Ngurah Rai airport at about 11.30 pm that night... kami x check in luggage so selamat la dari menunggu ketibaan beg jadinya bergerak la terus ke gate depan.... berjalan dan berjalan sambil 'wow' kan suasana airport Bali. very unique and beautiful airport. it's very big and fantastic with all the unique architecture design and marbles and colours and the statues on the walls, ceiling and floors. it's very clean, cultural and modern at the same time. i loved it! truly. 


As it was our first time, we didnt really sure of which cab to pursue so we just followed the majority of tourists at the airport. We went and paid a cab for..wait for it... a 5 minute drive to our guesthouse and it costed like IDR85,000.. (RM26) what the bloody hell. i genuinely didnt expect that our guesthouse would be very near to the airport. haha.. my bad. 


because we had to spend wisely, i decided that we stay at a dorm at Bali Semesta Hostel. bunk beds, shared bathroom. all that backpacking stuff that you have to be comfortable with..hey.. im cool with anything as long as i have a place to stay and have a nice shower.. 


first night- Bali Semesta Hotel, Kuta IDR 75,000 per person (RM23+)

check out the next day and went to Ubud Bali

oh... i got some hooks from my girlfriend in Damansara for our ride. she got a cousin who is a local in Bali so we rented his car for two days straight, with him as our driver and bodyguard haha to drive us around. it costed IDR1,000,000. equivalent to RM300+. jadi Mardy and I bahagi dua la.. RM150 sorang utk ride 2 hari 2 malam. 

Second night- Dewangga Bungalow Ubud IDR 145,000 (1 room king size bed private bathroom) 

IDR145,000 sama dgn RM45.30+. so i bahagi dengan Mardy sorang pay about RM22/23 cm tu.. 

Taman Dewangga House, Jalan Sriwedari No 18, Taman Kelod, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, 80511
Dewangga House +62 812-3977-6766

-Ubud Monkey forest


-Uluwatu water Temple (IDR20,000) RM6.26

the best view that i have ever seen in my life. i felt like i just wanna exist there forever. peaceful, calm over viewing the blue ocean, sky and just 100% nature. 30 minutes hike and with that view, i could walk forever.




-Bajra Sandhi Monument Bali (free)

We went to Bajra Sandhi after spending some quality time at Sanur beach enjoying the sunset on the other side of the world. yes, the sky is brighter on the opposite side of the world. Therefore, travel.
