Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
