While I do agree porters can be confusing to newbees to bali I have always found them very useful especially when leaving bali and over loaded with surfboards,bags etc.We always tell them up front how much we are going to pay them and how many we want to help they carry those heavy bags all the way to the checkin counter seems perfect to me.Had a friend with baby,pram etc. leaving bali before us paid two porters to help her with everything so she wasnt stressed she was very grateful and found them very nice so they cant all be bad for a mere couple dollars?Hey they have to make living too!
