Kuta –
Bali has long attracted domestic and foreign tourists. However, this British tourist felt cheated when he visited Kuta.
A British travel influencer visited the Kuta area and found that the area was very different from the atmosphere portrayed online. He documented the situation in Kuta, where there were traffic jams and garbage.
The traveler was Corrin. He expressed his concern on TikTok @cor_98. In his video he asks why people on the internet don’t show the bad side of this travel destination.
“Everyone says come to Bali, it’s an extraordinary place to visit. Honestly, I really hate it, look at this,” he said in the video uploaded on Wednesday (October 1, 2024).
“It’s congested everywhere, look how congested it is, it’s terrible. You can’t even move, you can’t cross the street,” he added.
“You’re standing at a zebra crossing and everyone’s still walking past. “Literally you wonder if you’re going to get hit, the traffic is unbearable and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life,” he said.
Not only was his complaint voiced in a video, he also uploaded other complaints highlighting the trash on Kuta Beach.
“I just arrived at Kuta Beach and of course I know from my last post that I gave a bit of a bad review,” he said.
“I did a lot of research on TikTok and googled places to visit and when this place came up I really wanted to try it. “Unfortunately I’m very disappointed, just look at this,” Corrin said while showing the trash along the coast.
He was disappointed with the condition of Kuta Beach, which did not meet his expectations. Furthermore, he was also disappointed that neither influencers nor other parties informed him about this condition.
“Because that’s not what I wanted. I wanted something fun, relaxing with a beautiful beach, but that wasn’t the case. “The beach was really scary, what is that?” he said.
“Why don’t people show you this? And I’m sorry, I’m so sorry to be the one who has to explain or tell you. But when I look for (reviews), I want to make sure it lines up with the good reviews,” he said.
“The beach is really scary, what is that?” he said again.
The shared video received many reactions from netizens. There are netizens who agree with this and there are also those who advise him to visit other destinations around Bali.
“It’s a shame that you’re in a 3rd world country and if you do a lot of research you’ll find that unfortunately that’s how Kuta is. Lembongan, Ubud, Susan Dua (Nusa Dua). The beach where Mari Beach Club is located.” “The location is very nice,” said one netizen.
“‘A lot of research has been done’, as soon as you search for Kuta Beach in Bali you will see websites claiming it is the worst place,” said one netizen who doubted the traveler.
“I think I had the same experience as you in Bali. I really hated how dirty and run down Bali was. Not like what you see on the internet,” said a netizen who complained about the same.
However, in the first video released, the road conditions did not look too chaotic, although the density of vehicles was visible. However, the second video uploaded shows that the condition of Kuta Beach is not good.
@cor_98 I just can’t believe what I saw, why on earth don’t the people on the beach show you this side of things? Kuta beach was an absolute disappointment. I really don’t want to be negative about Bali but so far it’s just been terrible, hopefully life in the jungle is much better! #Indonesia #Beach #Kuta #Litter #Disappointment #Travel #Truth #fyp ♬ Original sound – Corrin
