my experience from a holiday, not in bali just in QLD. I didn't pack thermometer for my then young kids. Could be anywhere in the world, but when woken in the middle of the night with a child sufferring a febril convulsion and not knowing that they had a riduculously high temp. to measure their temperature means that i pack a thermometer ( not a mercury one/ one of those ear ones) everytime I travel anywhere. At least i can keep tabs on it now if a situation such as temperature arises.
