@kitsunoichi Denpasar is not even the most developed city in Indonesia, just because there’s a lot of tourist and hospitality infrastructure for expats doesn’t mean it’s more developed 😭

Thailand vs Bali: which one is actually better for living?

I've spent 2 years living in both, and here's my take. Also, Bali is not Indonesia (more developed and different religion). Don't confuse the two.

1. Cost of living
Both can be affordable, but Thailand has become noticeably more expensive. In Bali, you can still find good deals, depending on the area and your standards.

2. Food
Thailand: sugar and MSG everywhere. Finding genuinely healthy food can be surprisingly hard.
Bali: much easier to find healthy cafés, good ingredients and decent food. Bangkok is the exception in Thailand.

3. Beaches
Thailand wins for me. Generally cleaner beaches and better swimming spots. Bali has a serious rubbish problem, especially during rainy season.

4. Everyday life
Thailand wins thanks to 7/11 (the best convenience store in Asia) Better infrastructure in many areas, too.

5. Getting around
Pretty much the same story in both. Get a scooter and accept the traffic. it's heavier in Bali tho

6. Visas
Thailand's DTV: $350 for 5 years, multiple entry.
Bali's remote worker visa (E33G): around $440 for 1 year, plus proof of $60k annual income and $2k in savings.
Thailand is a much better deal if you qualify.

My verdict
Thailand for convenience, infrastructure and beaches.
Bali for healthy food, cafés and lifestyle.

Neither is perfect. It really depends on what matters most to you.

@Deckardian @straynavis One time my coworkers introduced me as “from Bali” because I said I spent some years of my childhood there (I’m from Jakarta) lmao

@reiaposting even then most of the other intl students ended up in Toronto or Vancouver.

This is just what I know of students though. I know Filipinos are more spread out across Canada but that’s because they are primarily economic migrants

[luffy @harimaukardus]

@reiaposting I don’t really have hard data on this but I feel like a lot of SE Asians who come to Canada choose Vancouver due to the more temperate climate and relative physical + cultural proximity. When I lived in SG I’ve only really heard intl students wanting to go to Montreal and
