A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand
- Thread starter Leongsam
- Start date
So finally arrived in Bali on New Year's Eve. Understand that there's a big street party in Kuta beach, the road will be closed for the celebration countdown.
Takes about 1.5hr drive to the hotel from the dock so told driver to stop by a good restaurant, clean and serving delicious kampong chicken. He told us no problem as he know just a good place.
So this is it by the roadside
Nothing like any restaurant at all more like kopitiam, problem is lots of flies at the store but partner says try so I obliged.
This plain boiled kangkong with bean sprouts and nuts and fresh tomato sauce is typical of Lombok
Ayam bakar
Awaym goreng
Have to say we had a great simple meal but costs too much $20 including a chicken and vege portion for the driver with 3 teh butol.

Heard so much about Kuta. Might want to visit the place. Which hotel did you stay at & how much did it cost
Finally arrived in the hotel in Kuta which is overlooking the public beach
Room is great. Because its New Year's Eve price of room includes the dinner gala, no choice.
Heard so much about Kuta. Might want to visit the place. Which hotel did you stay at & how much did it cost
Johnny, Kuta is like the busiest place here in Bali with roads always jam and tourists busy shopping from the many shops surrounding Kuta.
Many hotels at Kuta too with their good restaurants. Had dinner at Ramayana Hotel just 600m from my hotel
Superb soto ayam
Balinese style chicken with rice
So its very convenient for visitors. I am still enjoying my New Year holiday here today and leaving for Jakarta tomorrow and this location is best for the celebrative season.
This is a morning scene from my room's balcony, slow traffic.
Now Johnny, if you are here in Bali for a quiet time at the beach then I wish to show you these two photos I took yesterday
The entire beach is lined with pile after pile of rubbish as far as your eyes can see. The public beach is dirty the water is not clear and filled with people hustling you to buy something and massages.
Nisa Dua will be a great place to stay if you like to relax with your own hotel private beach but its a distance from Kuta. Traffic can be hell here in Bali, last night's ride to a bar which is less than 8lm away took us almost 45mins.
Very nice Indonesian food pixs
Loophole on refusing breath analyser plugged :p
Refuse breath test - go to jail
Bangkok Post Published: 31/12/2014 at 07:28 PM
Jail and a heavy fine are now in the headlights of any driver who refuses a police directive to take a breath test -- they will be assumed drunk and can be arrested and charged under the drink-driving law that has just been amended.
Under the new law, which took effect on Wednesday, police can stop a car under special circumstances or when there is evidence the driver might be drunk.
They may ask the driver to enter a special lane designated by traffic cones. They can then demand the driver open a window so that they can do a preliminary test inside the car for signs of alcohol or ask the driver to take a breathalyser test. Police can also order the driver to step out of the vehicle to complete a walk-and-turn test.
If the driver refuses to take such tests, police can assume he or she has violated Section 43 (2) of the Traffic Act which prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.
As a result, he can be detained as necessary and/or charged with driving under the influence.
The new measure was published in the Royal Gazetteon Tuesday and took effect on Dec 31, when a higher number of road accidents related to alcohol consumption is expected.
The Traffic Control and Command Centre's Facebook page also posted a warning about the new law, saying the penalty for refusing to take the test is a jail term of up to one year and a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 baht or both. The offender may prove his innocence in court.
Under the old law, a driver who refused to take a test would be fined up to 1,000 baht. If he agrees to take the test and is found drunk, the penalty is a jail term of up to one year and a fine from 5,000 to 20,000 baht.
According to the Facebook page, the law was amended because many drunk motorists refused to take breathalyser tests and the drunk-driving offence carried a weak penalty. The new regulation is one of many preventive measures, and cooperation from the public was needed to curb road accidents.
However, Pol Lt Col Sansern Kree-aree, of Traffic Police Division’s general staff unit, said police could not just charge anyone with drunk driving unless they followed a laid-down procedure first.
