Due to the favourable exchange rate from Australian and New Zealand dollars to Rupiah we suggest you be extremely careful when exchanging money as you will get a lot of Rupiah notes. As some money changers are less than honest it is also a good idea to change an amount that you can easily work out mentally (such as $100) and count the money you are given carefully.
Credit cards are accepted in most retail establishments and shops. In some cases, a service fee is included when charging a purchase to your card. However, when travelling to the village, take Rupiah with you. Keep small change handy when riding in bemo (public minibus) or buying a drink at warung.

Quelques informations sur le coût de la vie :
Le coût de la vie est nettement moins cher qu`en France et l`artisanat est également très bon marché
Le prix des restaurants est très abordable avec une nourriture correcte ( compter un minimum de 50 000 roupies par repas par personne avec une bière...ou autre boisson!!! ). On peut aussi tomber dans le très chic si on le souhaite et se faire un bon foie gras avec du champagne.... mais là c`est le même prix qu`un restaurant classique en France, environ 100€ par tête dans le meilleur restaurant d’Ubud.
Voici donc quelques prix :
• un repas simple, boisson comprise : 50 000 roupies=3.30€
• une bière de 0.66cl : 20 000 roupies : 1,30 €
• un paquet de cigarettes américaines : 10 000 roupies=0,66 €
• Salaire mensuel d’un employé non qualifié : entre 800 000 roupies et 1 000 000=65€
• Une heure de massage : 100 000 roupies=6.66€
• Nasi goreng acheté à un vendeur ambulant : 6000 roupies=0.40€
• Une course de 10 mn en taxi : 30 000 roupies=2€
