WHERE TO FIND BALI CHEMISTS TO BUY MEDICINE & FIRST AID

INSIDE: Everything you need to know about finding Bali chemists

The first time we visited Bali after a long absence, we took what seemed like the entire contents of our local chemist with us.

In fact, our original first aid kit for Bali contained every little thing we could have ever possibly needed for almost every conceivable illness or injury!

(We’ve now streamlined it – here’s a list of what we take now, plus a packing list for Bali holidays)

If truth be told, we went more than a little overboard, especially when we found out that there’s a chemist on every second street corner.

(AND all the best nature’s medicine like coconuts and tropical fruits too!)

In Bali chemists are now hot property (called Apoteks).

They are stocked almost as well as any chemist we’d find in Australia or throughout the Western World.

Find one close to you – read our guide below for locations and details.
