Not Nunna but one of the travelling paty here.
We were considering coming down to Bali after our little KL/Singapore juant but think we will head north to Vietnam.
I am a a engineer (structural and environmental) with 30+ years in the building and public health fields. One of my greatest concerns about the safety of KTH to it's guests and owners is the leech from the septic tanks that I believe to be located under the lawn in front of the AFL room. Leechate from tanks is apparent in the soil (was grass at some stage) as this can be highly toxic and bacterially active.
Please do not let you children walk in this mud let alone play around it as their young immune systems are just not able to cope with this potential hazzard. You know kids pick up every bug and germ going around.
I believe that the well/s for KTH are located in close vicinity of overflowing septic tanks. Please do not drink tap water at KTH. Just smell it if you doubt what I am saying.
I promise you that if any hotel in Australia had similar issues and I was a guest. I would have it shut down immediately. Lucky laws mean something in Oz.
Be careful about all water at KTH even the pools as I bet london to a brick that the septics are contaminating the ground water.
Wouldnt even reccomend that the invincible carry on Baldie drink it.
Plaese ensure all your vaccinations are up to date before tarvelling to Bali, especially important Cholera and Thypoid if staying at KTH.
PS have been back for Bintangs a number of times since our fateful stay in September
