Indonesia always dirty. So don’t worry ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Kuta beach!? The best in the world? Oh hell nah! Full of trash!

Meri Ginting

Hi iam.from indonesian

Ian Andersson

The travel inflencers on Instagram sure to a good job at hiding the ugly side of these countries. They only take pictures that look beautiful, and most are highly edited. Its a trap to get people to travel more and increase the tourism sector.

FROM JAKARTA POST : Bali was targeting revenue of US$5.5 billion in foreign exchange this year from tourism, the islands leading sector, said head of the provincial tourism agency, Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu.
AND YET THEY HAVE BEACHES LIKE THIS ?
FUCKING WEIRD…..

Dwi Satriyaprajna

Wow… I lived in bali 2014 for 1 year and a half… I’ve never seen Kuta beach that dirty before, that’s so sad.. but still the sunset is the best…

mark holland

Yeah that is so disappointing, there local government needs to take better care of the beach, AND people visiting need to respect the island more.
The govt. Sold there soul for money

You should have visited Suluban Beach , Padang Padang Beach to experience so clean beach with crystal clear water .. But recently KUTA beach is cleaner than before … Visited there recently ..

Actually, Bali now did a clean up and look what happened! This beach turned into a spotless one! When i went there on 19 June 2019, i didn’t even saw a spot of trash. You should go now and even the water is much clearer! Bali did a massive clean up! _Hope you get this message to all who was looking foward to go to Bali._ Bali now cleans the beach every day in the morning

Cletus McFartypants

The Salesman. Taxi drivers….scammers… are everywhere and the harassment level from them is truely unbearable. I can’t handle it, last night here in Kuta one salesman grabbed my arm and tried to pull me into his shitty shop when I politely said no thanks. Walk 3 metres and its the same story.

This is the most beautiful place I’ve been but I will never return for the reasons above, impossible to fully relax and have a good time with these scum bag rats everywhere.

Cobb Douglas

Yuck dirty place

Thierry Dumessie

When I was there in August1996 you did not see any trash on the beach or in the water and the ebaches were cleaned every night. This is really sad what I saw now.

Banana Kampreto

1:03 I recommend you to buy gas melon.

Indonesia Javanese

Java and lombok have beauty full beach too.

Luke Warm

typical of many 3rd world countries. Since Indonesia got independence the place has been run by the military. They maintain a large military and cannot organise garbage collection in their cities and towns. Rubbish is dumped everywhere. Then there is rampant gov’t corruption also.

Stephi Bonacci

So sad how humans are contaminating earth๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Kadava Kadavalot

The indo government and balinese in particular are doing and have done heaps to address the rubbish issue. But as a traveller i’ve been there 4 times and going back again for the 5th time next month, I love Bali, love Indonesia and the people in it. I already have the best beaches in the world here in Aus, but bali has some of the best people in the world!

A Yank Abroad

Me and my wife honeymooned in Bali for 2 weeks (1 week in Singapore) back in 2012. As soon as we got off of the plane-at around 8 PM-and headed in to collect our luggage, 2 strange Balinese men looked at us and collected our luggage without us asking. Being travel ignorant and exhausted from the long flight at the time we thought it customary, although strange. Only to find out that when we neared the exit, said thank-you, and proceeded to ask for our suitcases back, they wanted money in return and refused to relinquish our property unless we paid them 80,000 Rupiah (the equivalent of about โ‚ฌ5.00) each. Luckily airport security happened to be walking by and swiftly shooed them away. The 2 men proceeded to follow us out to the parking lot, tailing us all the way to our private hire cab before dispersing. Before the trip we had arranged for a private tour guide through the hotel we were staying in. He was extremely intimidating and aggressive the entire time throughout. He would call our hotel room (how he got the number, I can only imagine) and attempt to up-sell us on outrageous “safaris” and “elephant riding adventures”; getting noticeably irritated when we turned them down. We opted for a day-long driving tour through the hotel. Our guide was a nice enough guy, but you could tell he was over it all. Our day consisted of being swarmed by beggars everytime we so much as exited the vehicle, being hounded by panhandlers trying to sell us makeshift trinkets carved out of wood and bracelets, residents burning trash in the streets, an elderly female shop owner scratching my wife’s neck to all hell as she aggressively tried to wrap a cheaply made shawl around her head (against her will) shouting ”Look good! You buy! Good you!”, men leering at my wife, and stupidly overpriced, shady looking ”street delicacies’ (simply looking at them could incite gastroenteritis). Romantic walks on the litter laden beach were constantly interrupted by desperate stall owners sauntering over trying to sell us random junk. Waiters were constantly trying to flog higher priced menu items and became agitated when we turned them down or when the tip we left wasn’t to their liking. When we transferred over to an exclusive “private resort” for the last 3 days of our trip, we were picked up by the same abrasive guide initially assigned to us. He was clearly vexed that we hadn’t taken him up on any of the extortionate day-trips he’d been relentlessly trying to push on us during our stay. The drive to the next resort was roughly about 2 hours, during which the guide proceeded to ignore us entirely and have a full-blown conversation with the driver in Balinese; this despite him being fluent in English. The entire time I was on the edge of my seat ready for anything, terrified that me and my wife were being driven out to a remote part of the jungle to be robbed and murdered. Meanwhile my wife making loving googly eyes at me the whole time (lol). We eventually made it to our next destination alive and in one piece-after having our vehicle thoroughly inspected for explosives and stowaways by heavily armed guards- only to discover that the “luxurious 5 star private resort” we had been sold on, was nothing more than a dozen or so decapitated huts with thatch roofing plopped in the middle of the jungle. I didn’t sleep for the entirety of the stay; kept awake by the giant tarantulas leisurely crawling across the ceiling, the amazonian sized insects flying around the room and deciding to nestle in with the Mrs. and I in bed, the mini-monsoon that coincidentally landed the first night’s stay threatening to tear off the roof, and the wild monkeys trying to invade the place, scavenging for food. Every guest was strictly allotted 2 eggs minimum at breakfast (my wife ordered pancakes which were the size of silver dollars), and a can of Sprite roughly came out to about 60,000 Rupiah. On the day we departed (exhausted), we decided to grab a bite at a Burger King randomly located right outside the airport thinking, “Hey! We’ve managed to fend off food poisoning since we’ve been here. How about a burger to lift our spirits before our flight?”. We excitingly ate, and subsequently, excitingly contracted food poisoning almost immediately (lol). Feeling generally unwell, sweating profusely, suffering from chills and stomach cramps, we slowly walked up to the ticket counter-buttcheeks clenched-only to be greeted by a surprise “Airport Tax” fee. Like a big middle finger from the country saying, “Thank-you for coming. Oh, and by the way, fuck you!”. Me and my wife are normal, hard working middle-classers; far from rich, wealthy, 1st world problem douchebags. As such, we have normal standards. We’d specifically saved a portion of our wedding loan to pay for our honeymoon (as most couples do), and were just really surprised by the rampant poverty and societal chaos. Couldn’t help but feel sad for the Balinese people there who legitimately loved their country and were trying to promote and share their culture, warmly welcome visitors, and make changes in their communities. But couldn’t help but loathe the locals I saw literally dumping garbage into the street, intimidating tourists, aggressively making advances towards unsuspecting women, and contributing to the country’s decline. I don’t know if it’s changed since then, but Bali for me, was nothing more than a glorified and sorely overrated, giant tourist trap with a beautiful backdrop (and I’m sure a genuinely sound people) marred by poor sanitation, a lousy government, blatant ignorance, crumby economy, and failing infrastructure. My first breakfast in Singapore the morning after we landed; a plate heaped with nothing but scrambled eggs.

I was in Bali in 1999. Beaches was as dirty back than too.
So I’m never going back!
I recommend Thailand and Vietnam in South East Asia, much nicer and cleaner. Also more safe I think.

Thank you for your video. Suppose me and my partner plan to visit Bali next year, but after watched this video, we change our trip to go to Sabah instead of Bali!

AnCient sOuL & AnTiHEro

everybody throws rubbish there cause there is already so much. did you ever try to change an old (indonesian) mind??? just forget it, throw your stuff also there and drink some bintang, hear loud music, do party and give up.

its fuckin sad, but thats everywhere the same. weยดll pay the bill later (our children), but for now we just give a shit of everything. Disgusting…really!

AnCient sOuL & AnTiHEro

its not clean, because to clean it doesnt bring money …

as long the tourist come all good, or not??? (sarcasm)
it would change when the tourist stay at home, but this will not happen…maybe in ten years when you cant see after a heavy rain the sand anymore under the rubbish. Then maybe, but i dont think so. Honstly…Bali is LOST!

Eddy Thomas

That’s nothing young lady!
If you come around December till February, you will see tons and tons rubbish in the water and beach.
The local government don’t really and never care.

myla armamento

Hi Jacey! Go to The Philippines you will surely love our beaches here. Boracay and El Nido Palawan ๐Ÿโ˜€๏ธ

Satria Topan

Kuta beach is only for seeing sunset. Because the water is not clean. If you want to enjoy the beautiful of Bali, you must go to Nusa Penida or Pandawa beach or Nusa Lembongan, etc:)

Mind Velvet

Heartbreaking. Humans are destroying the Earth. I’ve actually decided to quit travel (for the most part, I might do trips closer to USA in countries known for better trash management). I feel I can live more sustainably and in balance with the earth if I stay home and work on an environmental lifestyle.

mk ultra butterfly

Lmao when tourists swim in the no swimming zone then complain. Was there last year (have been going there for 20+ years and never seen it like that) walked almost the whole length of the beach and it did not look like that at all. You chose the worst spot to swim ๐Ÿ˜‚

Camfrog Adik

I went to kuta beach 2 yrs ago because of the cruise that i availed. I told my driver to bring us to a clean beach, The driver drove us to this โ€œkuta beachโ€ What i saw is really garbage and its very fascinating. Try to visit nusa dua very clean and white sand!

Shakira 8

Trust me currently in bali trying to find a clean beach they are all so beautiuful but disgusting. I was in lembogan and saw the tops of tuna cans!!

Gony G

The whole country has a trash problem even driving into the hills and outer suburbs they seem to think it’s ok just to dump truck loads of rubbish off the sides of the roads. Btw the red flags displayed mean don’t swim because it’s a particularly bad rubbish and pollution day

Sam blurr!

Come to malaysia we have many clean beach like pulau perhentian,pulau kapas ,pulau langkawi,pulau tioman,pulau pinang..we also one of the cleanest country in asia..we have good transport also (one of the best transport in asia)…if love floral and fauna you can go to cameron highland,genting highland,bukit tinggi,taman negara,gunung tahan,mount of kinabalu,bukit fraser,tadom hill..the citizen in malaysia also nice(malaysian citizen love tourist because we have been teach from kid to respect tourist)..come to malaysia and you will see

Crash Davis

we were there a month ago, the water was exactly the same so it is not seasonal. And this is not the fault of westerners, I lost count of how many Balo’s I saw just throw rubbish on the ground after eating. The waterways are horrible. Nusa Dua is different however Kuta and Legian, if you’re in a nice resort then there’s no point going outside unless you’re in need of cheap t-shirts

Ahmad Young

If you want to get the clean beaches, just visit Lombok nusa tenggara timur

Ray Cowan

I arrived in Seminyak a couple days after you and saw the same thing, if not worse.ย  BUT, within a few days, they cleaned it up and was not at all like that.ย  March is still coming out of the rainy season and Balinese, not tourists, through their trash in the rivers which get flushed down to the ocean when it rains.ย So, in the six weeks I was there, the beaches were much better because it didn’t rain much at all along with them doing a great job cleaning up all the trash. The lesson here is, go after March. I will say, when the tide was low during late afternoon, Simenyak and Kuta beaches were wonderful. The tide goes way way out and so much area to walk around.ย  This is the time when it cools down and the locals along with tourists walk around the beach and just a really fun time.ย  You can see many of my photos at https://www.facebook.com/justsayray

Hi Jacey! Lol I was in Bali last month and stayed on Kuta Beach at the Citadines Hotel and every time I walked over to the beach I thought of this video. Stayed out the water lol. Love your content!

come again vlog

Please help me i have go pro 4 black settings for video slow motion and regular

come again vlog

What camera u using

Raffaele Colucci

You see this in USA Italy Greece South America everywhere this is an issue with smog! lol

Juliana Caux

Such a disgrace! Kuta was my favourite beach when I was a child – it was spotless; you could just sit there for hours and days… it was beautiful. The thing is, people should stop coming up with excuses, like: it’s Indonesia after all; it’s raining season; it’s from Java; etc etc. All of us, locals, tourists (domestic and international) should play a part in respecting the environment! Perhaps all these videos about South Bali is a good thing. Perhaps with less mass tourism, Bali could be restored to its glorious days…

David Fr

Itโ€™s often happens during rain season, it rains a lot in the regions where there is the monsoon, making the rivers to raise and wash aways the trash in the ocean, then with the streams and waves, the trash are scattered around the globe and get back to the land with the waves. This is what happen in Bali trash are brought by the streams. It also happens when a tropical cyclone pass near by Indonesia, like it was the case recently.
When a sudden amount of trash shore to the beaches the local gouvernement declares a โ€œtrash emergencyโ€, like earlier this year. When it is the case they deployed a lot of means, they even use big tractors to clean the trash. But the day after trash comes back with the waves, so every day they have to clean the beaches. Now the trash emergency is over, so I think the beach are only clean in the morning, not 24hours a day, so during the day trash keep shoring to the beach.
Regarding the disposal, in Bali there is a waste to energy plant, transforming waste to electricity, plastics are also recycled in asphalt to pave the road. Efforts are really on going in Indonesia, with a lot of sensibilisation, proper disposal and waste to energy plant being built, and new innovative ways to recycle plastic being invented. But things wonโ€™t change by a finger clap, it will take time, especially because this not an issue specific to Bali, but to the world, as long as the entire world will not take serious actions, things like that will keep happening around the globe, because weโ€™re all neighbors and the world is a sphere.

You should have gone to Lombok islands for clean and beautiful beach.

Thx for the post, hope our ignorant government see this..,
Sorry for bad experience, but also indonesian (outside bali , northern bali, and Eco-bali foundation) already protest about it, but no one hear us., now let see when tourists make some complaining about this, ๐Ÿ˜—๐Ÿ˜—

Miss Sasha

You should go to Nusa Dua area, Nusa dua beach ,Geger beach, Pandawa beach, Padang Padang beach in Uluwatu for a swim, clean white sand and turquoise water please do the research before traveling.

I did not like Kuta Beach, Lovina Black beach was better.

That’s Indonesia, no doubt

i hope you could also try visiting the nice beaches we have in the Philippines. Sadly, Boracay beach will be closed this coming June, but having a country of 7,107 islands…I’m pretty sure you’ll have a hard time planning your itinerary.

Girl. You’re freaking awesome for attempting to experience that beach and going in just to let us know about it ๐Ÿ™‚ Sorry to hear how it went though but I hope your amazing looking ice cream made up for it!๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜™

Happy birthday! ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‚
That’s so sad about all the trash on that beach. It probably cost a lot for clean up. Their are a few other countries that’s horrible with their trash waste in water I can’t remember what ones though. Love your videos! My husband and I are taking off soon may 7th to back pack Hawaii our first backpacking trip. We sold everything we own to travel the world. You give great advice.

The World n Us

Hey Jacey, we happened to share a video yesterday and called it “BALI IS A DUMP!” It’s a really sad sight isn’t it. We’ve been to Bali many times but when were there in December it was the worst we’d seen the rubbish situation there. I learned it’s actually a seasonal issue and the rubbish is brought to Bali’s beaches by the currents, wind and heavy rainfall from December to March. While it may seem like no one is doing anything, the locals actually put a great deal of effort into cleaning the beaches as best they can. Locals are up at dawn cleaning the rubbish that washes up on the beach from the previous day. Right now 100 tons of rubbish are removed from Bali’s beaches everyday! Unreal!

Anyway, I’m glad I found your channel. I love that you care for animals and you have a real sense of adventure.

This is indonesia..
What do you expect..?
Hmmmm..

Missing_Link

I am afraid you will be hard pressed to find a rubbish-free beach or river in all urbanised areas of Indonesia. Both the government and the public have not come to grips with littering. No surprise the world’s dirtiest and most polluted river (Citarum river, Bandung) is in Indonesia.

Ah that sucks! Great video though ๐Ÿ˜Š

Indonesian mentality. if u watch this video u would understand.

Clauss Video Archive

Now this beach makes the Jersey shoreline look like a sparkling jewel. Improper trash disposal and littering is at the top of my list of things I hate about humans. And it’s not just a Bali problem, it is an issue just about everywhere on earth.

murphys world

Bali years ago was a place a lot of us would dream of going and lying on the beautiful beaches. Thats a disgrace and drastic action needs taken not just bali but asia in general. The governments wont be bothered it wont hit their pockers. Goid on you for mentioning animal tourism.Youve just got a new subscriber.

Mohammad Mukhtar

What an absolute bummer. I hate to see pollution, and especially to that degree. I’ll have a cold stone in your honor!

should rename the beach to trash beach

Such a shame, just watched another vlog today where they are complaining about how dirty some of the beaches are in Bali! Thanks for showing us!๐Ÿ™‚
