You want to have a great time during your Bali holiday, right? Here is the first of my tips for making sure you do.
DON'T BUY DRUGS IN BALI
Drugs are now flooding into Bali and it seems that someone gets busted at least once a week trying to bring them through Denpasar airport. Some of these drugs will find their way onto the Kuta strip.
If you are tempted to do drugs in Bali do the math first. Swapping ten years of hell for one night’s fun is just not worth it!
It is worth remembering that a large percentage people who sell drugs in Bali are employed by the police. They will sell you the drugs and then inform on you. They will do this to make money. The fact that you will spend a good deal of your life in an Indonesian jail when you are caught is of no concern to these people.
If you break the law in Indonesia you effectively become an Indonesian citizen. But you will not be prosecuted like one. It will be worse. Prosecution lawyers and judges will have little sympathy. They will take it as an affront that a foreigner has broken the laws of their country and they will prosecute and sentence you to the highest level of their power.
You will also get little support from you own government. You will be tried under their legal system and their laws. The penalties for drug offences in Indonesia are more severe than most western countries. There is little your own government will be able to do to reduce your penalty.
