点评:Tourist Scam
1. Expensive 150K ticket (for foreign adult) which includes sarong, shuttle bus, and compulsory local tour guide
2. Shuttle bus only covers a mild 700 metres uphill and still need to climb upstairs after arrival of the entrance
3. Local tour guide is only available in English and the tour guide is not fluent in English. Minimal information provided only.
4. In conclusion, they ask you to pay extra for unnecessary things
5. You will get asked to purchase a flower basket for blessing immediately (despite it is not necessary)
6. Only the peripheries can be visited; the central part is forbidden (except praying), the walk can be completed in 30 minutes even if you walk slowly
7. The temple is not well maintained and the temple dogs are not taken care of with skin diseases and skinniess
8. When you walk along the path children will try to sell you postcards and will scold you if you refuse
9. The biggest scam I suffered from is the “photography package” in front of the big Candi Bentar. Our team initially agreed for only 1 set of picture with 30K. However, he held my phone after the group photos and insisted us to do solo pictures. Afterwards the “photographer” charged us 120K for the 4 “sets”. I.e. 30K only with 7 photos with a “reflection” by a glass paper. With you own phone. The photos aren’t even good quality with rotated pictures.
10. Luckily I wasn’t ask for a tip from the tour guide as I scolded the photographer for 2+ minutes for the scam.
翻译:旅游骗局
1. 昂贵的15万卢比门票(外国成人),包含纱笼、接驳车和强制性的当地导游服务。
2. 接驳车只覆盖了700米的缓坡,到达入口后仍需爬楼梯。
3. 当地导游只提供英语服务,而且导游的英语水平不高。仅提供极少的信息。
4. 总而言之,他们会要求你为不必要的东西额外付费。
5. 你会被要求立即购买花篮祈福(尽管这不是必需的)。
6. 只能参观周边地区;中心区域禁止通行(祈祷除外),即使走得慢,30分钟也能走完。
7. 寺庙维护不善,寺庙里的狗也无人照料,它们患有皮肤病,而且很瘦。
8. 当你沿着小路行走时,孩子们会试图向你兜售明信片,如果你拒绝,他们会责骂你。
9. 我遭遇的最大骗局是大本塔尔寺前的“摄影套餐”。我们团队最初只同意拍一组照片,30K。然而,拍完集体照后,他拿着我的手机,坚持要我们拍单人照。后来,“摄影师”向我们收取了4组“照片”120K的费用。也就是说,7张照片加玻璃纸“倒影”才30K。而且是用你自己的手机拍的。照片质量很差,而且图片旋转了。
10. 幸运的是,导游没有向我索要小费,因为我因为这个骗局责骂了摄影师 2 多分钟。
