There is no roster of headshots behind Balinesestatue. There is a desk. The Balinesestatue Editorial Desk drafts, checks and revises what you read here, and it signs its own work rather than borrowing a personality to do it.
The subjects this desk keeps current
The material here is organised around craft sourcing, where to stay and what things actually cost. Those are the subjects we work in often enough to keep current, and we would rather keep that list short than pad it.
How we treat figures we cannot verify
Indonesian rules and tariffs change on their own schedule. Where we have confirmed something against an official source, we say so on the page; where we have not, the page says that too. An unmarked estimate is the one thing we will not publish.
No credentials, and why
This desk claims no titles, no qualifications and no length of service, because none of that is documented. The pages are background reading. Anything that depends on your particular situation belongs with the office or operator who will actually process it.
If you find a figure here that no longer holds, write in and we will update the page and say when. You can reach the desk through our contact page.
