Like many on here get sick of hearing about ATM questions . I returned a couple days ago . Before i left i was concerned about how to take our spending money . i read a few forums and was confused , with many concerned over room safes etc . We stayed at a budget hotel with no room safes only safety deposit box's . I've been to Bali 8 times but not for 12 yrs . So i was a little concerned . There were 6 of us, 2 adults and 4 kids , between us we had 10g aus in cash . On book in the box's with self lockable ends were old and not attached at the other end , however you needed 2 keys to open the main door( 1 being ours the other the hotels) . I had seen this before and wasn't too concerned . Anyway bought back 4g between us and no probs . I would do it this way again but would not use a ATM there , only saw Euros using them . Your choice . One thing i know is i know how much cash i have now , but if i used a ATM i would be checking my balance daily a little concernd for months . This is my way but you choose yours.
