Big changes to 4g coverage in the last year. Been a while since I was as far north as Amed, but I’m almost always on 4g these days in Ubud/South. Biznet is also currently laying fibre cable all around the perimeter of the island (ie. through Amed), so eventually there will be very good internet (I’m on a 100mb connection here in Ubud; 30mbps up/down in reality).

Hi @adrienbe try to use AndroMax Smartfren or SIMPATI provider,
normally that works.

My impression from internet in Amed from 12 months ago:
No 4G (3G only). didn’t do to many speed tests. I estimate, that average speed was 3-5 Mbit/s (for Wifi and 3G)
Skype should be possible, but in the end most Wifi around Amed is inconsistent.
So it might work the first day, but have issues the second day.

I am also into freediving and I am going to Phuket for Dec/Jan instead of Bali exactly for the reason of sloppy internet in Bali.
Send me a DM, maybe Phuket is an interesting alternative for you

Here's a selection: nomadlist.com/places-in-asia-with-low-tax

Best to book an Airbnb for first 2/3 nights, then drive around and find a place yourself. Many apartments have a VACANT sign. Although renting 3 weeks is quite short.

I’d say Hep A & B and tetanus were essential anywhere in Asia. There is now a vaccine for Dengue fever, available in Indonesia & worth considering.

I lived in Ubud for over a year and got no vaccines except Hep A and tetanus.
I got bitten by a dog there, very severe bite. It was my friend’s dog, so I knew it wasn’t rabid, however, no hospital would admit me for treatment until I got a rabies vaccine.
They run out of rabies vaccines on the island at times, but luckily they had it. I needed 3-4 in a row for possible post-exposure. I didn’t want to get it, but i had to.

Really depends on when and where you’re planning to go in Indonesia.

IMHO, the CDC and Travel Health clinic suggestions tend to be over cautious for most travelers. I think they’re written as if everyone is going to do aid work in some far off jungle village.

Routine + Hepatitis A & B + Typhoid and you’re good almost everywhere globally…

Note: the reason to get Hep B, is because if you end up in a local hospital (this is a a risk globally), plus it’s cheap and free of major side effects.

Japanese Encephalitis - Not unless you’re going somewhere rural where to JE is actively prevalent (ie. somewhere very rural…) .

Regardless of JE, take precautions against mosquitos… because there is also Dengue & Malaria…

However personally… forums are the last source I would trust on this topic… go talk to an actual doctor

If you’re thinking about heading to Bali, definitely get the rabies vaccine. The island has a rabies problem, there are a lot of aggressive stray dogs, and the island isn’t well equipped to deal with it.

No experience with adobe connect, but I ran the test from the UK server, these are the results

it says LAN speed and:
BW Test Results: up=2382.9 kbit/s, latency=28 msec, down=605.2 kbit/s

This is from Canggu btw.
