![]() ![]() Tourists ruining ‘last paradise on Earth’ with public s*x, illegal tattoo pop-ups Bali residents are fed up with disrespectful tourists who dishonor their culture and disregard their laws. Anti-foreigner sentiments have been growing as tourists have been caught having s*x in public, breaking traffic laws, working illegally as tattoo artists, smuggling drugs and disrespecting sacred grounds, leaving native Indonesians feeling resentful. Earlier this month, 10 tourists were mocked when they filed an official complaint claiming that the neighbor’s roosters crowed every morning, disrupting their sleep, ![]() The complaint fueled the rising annoyance of tourists, as it was interpreted by many locals as further proof of visitors’ indifference toward their culture and customs. Bali’s tourism agency replied to the complaint, insisting that the tourists either learn to respect local culture or be deported should they file another complaint. ![]() ![]() Bali residents are becoming increasingly annoyed by tourists. ![]() Tattoo pop ups are also rankling residents. ![]() Tourists have returned to Bali in hordes as the predominantly Hindu island within the majority-Muslim country remains one of the world’s top travel destinations. “Keep as many chickens as you can,” I Wayan Koster, governor of Bali, encouraged locals. “If they do not like the crow of roosters, then they don’t have to come to Bali. “We have no business dealing with such people.” Balinese residents agree with their officials and have taken to calling out tourists for their illegal or dishonorable behavior on social media accounts, including the popular Instagram platform ![]() The account has 32,500 followers who can submit information about foreigners who appear to be breaking the law or causing an unwanted scene. “[Some foreigners] blatantly promote their business on social media while they’re illegal, and make their own ‘bubble’ within their community,” the owner of the account told Vice World News, requesting anonymity. “I also feel the government does not have a presence, and these practices are just allowed to go on. It gives the impression that our law is toothless.” ![]() Many native Bali residents feel that visitors are not respecting their homeland, as tourists continue to make headlines for dishonoring sacred sites and disrupting the peace. The predominantly Hindu island within the majority Muslim country has been one of the top vacation destinations in the world for decades and relies heavily on tourism, but natives are fed up with visitors who run wild. Since reopening to visitors and lifting COVID-19 restrictions, globetrotters have flocked to the beautiful island to visit, work from home and even escape wars. Balinese natives have become especially frustrated with Russian tourists since their country invaded Ukraine. Since then, nearly 60,000 Russians arrived in Bali last year and roughly 20,000 have been arriving each month since September, Al Jazeera reported. “There were a lot of Russian cases during the pandemic,” a Russian tattoo artist named Sam told VICE. “They even start to argue like, ‘I act how I want to act.’ You know … like a ‘Karen.’” ![]() The Balinese government has proposed new regulations and plans to crack down on tourists’ inappropriate behavior. “I think Bali has always been seen … as the last paradise on Earth,” Ravinjay Kuckreja, a Ph.D. candidate studying Balinese culture at Denpasar State Hindu University, told Vice. “The community is very welcoming. The Balinese are very friendly and hospitable.” “Sometimes foreigners don’t completely understand that Bali is still a home for people,” Kuckreja continued. “They see it as just this Disneyland that’s there for their enjoyment and their pleasure.” According to Indonesia’s immigration laws, foreigners who break the law or cause public disturbance may be subject to deportation, but Balinese authorities are cracking down further. Island officials have begun unveiling new proposed policies aimed at curbing tourists’ unacceptable behavior. The government has announced plans to ban tourists from renting motorbikes, install large, multi-language billboards with guidelines on how to behave, and revoke visas-on-arrival privileges from Russian and Ukrainian visitors. “We do not need naughty tourists in Bali,” Luhut Pandjaitan, the coordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment, said earlier this month. “With careful research from the police and relevant authorities, we can make them persona non grata here.” ![]() |

Bali is filled with Australias worst...
and if you know alot of Aussies their worst is worst than most But Bali does everything to support tourism and would fall apart with out them they love to complain but just during covid they were all crying how they were growing broke without tourist. . how quickly they forget. . I wont go to Bali for holiday anymore cause the Aussies have detsroyed it but another reason is the shady ignorant xenophobic Indonesian people. . . some of the worst people in the world. . |

Chinese travel in groups and only do tours so the hotel companies love them but they spend no money in tourist spots and travel in groups of 50 taking up the most space. . so Id say they are the worst but i guess they help the econonmy somewhat by paying for tour packjages. . Indians are terrible as they spend no money and have no manors and are really rude Russians do find certain beach towns and take them over but they basically keep to themselves, they are not too annoying and the spend money within the community the Aussies and UK tourist are prob the worst and have the worst reputations of Western tourist in Asia all of the European countries think Americans are dumb and dont respect them but I dont think they would be considered rude Last edited by mac58; 03-20-2023 at 05:36 AM.. | |
