Several tips to keep in respect for Balinese customs, rituals and sensibilities:
- Don’t enter a temple unless you’re completely covered knees to shoulders; you can buy a traditional sarong or sash around the temple or get one free to use, provided at some temples in Bali.
- Don’t enter a temple or other holy places during menstruation, rather ask the local people about those places without necessarily entering the grounds.
- Don’t touch anyone’s head or point at someone.
- Don’t give or receive an object with your left hand
- In Bali you will encounter some ritual ceremonies held near or on the road, so wait for the procession to subside or politely ask permission before you pass.
- Touching someone’s head or punch someone’s head
- Raising your leg on the table
- Wearing only underwear or immodest clothing at the formal event or religious ceremony
- Deliberately kicked the offerings that are placed by the Balinese on the floor
- Drive through during the ceremonial procession unless has been allowed
- Roughly speaking or cursing in the public area
- Do not give away or priority group of religious ceremony in the public road
