So, Bali then. Then you’d know this one - maybe you’re a stupid influencer, and if you take a photograph in a bikini up against the wrong tree – a religious symbol which is unmarked, but yet supposed to be duly noted as being off-limits - you can kiss your visa status goodbye, fined and deported. There are unwritten local and religious rules, managed through local groups which coordinate with the local government. That’s what this is as well.
Please note, I’m not criticizing this. When you are in another country as a guest, you should not just think you can transpose your culture over the native culture and not suffer repercussions.
