Bondi.
Welcome to exploring Tim Este,the podcast that talks about
Southeast Asia's best kepttravel secret.
I'm your host Jte, and I'llshare firsthand insights, expert
interviews and practical traveltips.
Whether you're a traveler, acultural lover, or just curious
about places rarely covered inthe mainstream.
You're in the right place.
Let's explore two more.
Less day.
(00:31):
Timor Lesse isn't exactly abudget backpacker's paradise.
Primarily because it uses the USdollar as its currency.
Timay is a small remote countryfar from major transport hubs,
and it relies heavily onimports.
The only real locally grownproducts widely available are
food, stables and coffee.
But while some things can bepricey, many activities and
(00:53):
attractions are surprisinglyaffordable or even free.
In this episode, I'm gonna giveyou a snapshot of typical costs
you can expect when visitingTimor Less Estate in 2025.
I'm gonna cover eight areas,flights and visa, accommodation,
transport, food and drink,snorkeling and diving,
(01:15):
attractions and tours, internettipping and money tips.
Start with flights and visa.
So flights to dili typicallystart at around 500 US dollars
return.
The two main hubs are Bali andDarwin with daily flights, and
they've also have less regularflights from Singapore and
(01:39):
recently from Kuala Lumpur.
So those obviously cost a bitmore expensive as a bit further,
Darwin and Bali are about anhour and a half flight time.
When you arrive, you will need30 US dollars in cash to get
your 30 day tourist visa.
There aren't any moneyfacilities on the air side of
the airport, so you need to makesure you bring that 30 US
(02:00):
dollars with you to get into thecountry.
And then getting from theairport to town, your options
are you can catch a taxi, whichstart from around$15.
They are fixed prices, there's abig board when you leave the
terminal, which has the pricesof different parts of dili, but
primarily if you're going kindof downtown, it's gonna be
around 15 US dollars.
Or if you're on a budget, youcan catch a Mette, which is a
(02:23):
local bus, which costs just 25cents, although that's 25 cents
in the local team, MarieCurrency.
So you may have some challenges,should be able to get some
change.
If you have$1 or maybe even ifyou're lucky, a$5 US note.
You can catch that from the PTElau Lobato roundabout.
If you walk about five minutesoutside of the airport, you'll
(02:44):
get to the roundabout, which isjust outside the entrance to the
airport.
And you'll see Mik lets thereyou want to be going to your
left, which will take you intotown.
And it depends where you'regoing.
If you look online, there aresome maps for the Mik route in
Dili to help you get to youraccommodation.
They're very frequent.
They're very frequent, but theydon't have a lot of space.
So this is only really suitableif you've only got a small
(03:05):
backpack or carry on if you'vegot large bits of luggage.
Be best off getting a taxi.
Number two in terms ofaccommodation.
So in Dili budget, travelersshould expect to pay a minimum
of 30 US dollars per night for abasic guest house or hostel.
Mid-tier hotels run at about ahundred dollars per night.
While there are some high-endoptions, which are$200 or more.
(03:27):
Outside of delete prices dropslightly, but not by much.
So budget rooms typically go foraround 25 to 40 US dollars per
night.
That will often includebreakfast, but it may not
include towels.
So bring your own travel towel.
May not include toilet paper, sobring your own toilet paper.
Depends again where you'revisiting, but options are
pretty.
(03:47):
Limited.
When you start getting outsideof dili, most towns will have
one or two guest houses to stayin.
But there isn't a huge marketfor tourists or visitors.
So correspondingly, there's nota huge amount of infrastructure.
Have some nice uh, sada, whichare, portuguese colonial
buildings that would be turnedinto accommodation.
They have quite a lot ofcharacter, but they tend to be a
(04:09):
bit more expensive, number threearound transport.
So as I mentioned, MTS in Dilionly cost 25 cents per ride,
making them a very cheap way toget around taxis.
You're negotiate with a taxidriver.
It's a little bit of a largebarge sometimes, but you're
normally gonna pay 10 to$15depending where you want to get
around town.
And the taxis, you've got theyellow ones, which are the most
(04:30):
frequent ones you'll see.
They're generally not the bestmaintained vehicles.
And then you've got the bluetaxis, which are.
Better vehicles, but they are abit more expensive and you have
to phone them to book them.
And for longer distancestraveling from dili to the main
towns around Timor-Leste, thereare local buses.
These tend to be pretty crowded,pretty noisy.
They tend to leave early in themorning, like to some places
(04:52):
they might leave at 4:00 AMearly.
And once they're full theyleave, they go out to the towns
they're gonna cost somewherebetween about.
Five and$12.
So they're relatively cheap.
Maybe$5 to bau, maybe$12 out toem.
But they don't have a scheduleand they're definitely not the
most comfortable way to getaround.
There are domestic flightsthrough Mission Aviation,
fellowship Math, and they costaround$80 one way.
(05:15):
And they're a good way of seeingthe country from the air, which
is very beautiful.
And they can also arrange a carrental service when you arrive
at your destination, which Ithink is about a hundred dollars
off the top of my head to getyou where you need to get to.
'cause often these airstrips canbe quite remote.
There are ferries between Diliand Aru Island, which are
between four and$12, and thereare ferries out to Kui, which
(05:37):
are about$15 or flights to kuiaround$20.
You can also get privatechartered boats between Dili and
uh, roo Island.
Often through the accommodationproviders.
Somebody like Compass Diving,they have a boat.
They tend to be, I think 50, 60,70,$80.
So they're not particularlycheap option.
The ferries are a lot more costeffective, but the other ones
(05:59):
can work around your schedulepotentially.
If you look at Barry's Place onhis website, he has a very good
section about getting to uh, toIsland, which has full details
of the options available.
And finally on transport,there's also hiring a car with a
local driver.
And that I would recommend ifyou're trying to get outside of
Dili and you have the money toallow you to do so.
It is a lot safer and moreconvenient than taking the
(06:23):
public transport.
But you're probably gonna paysomewhere between about 120 and
150 US dollars per day, whichwill be car hire plus driver.
Number four, food and drink.
So if you eat where the localseat meals cost typically between
two and four US dollars.
If you're eating at aninternational star restaurant,
they're gonna charge youprobably$10 or more for a meal.
(06:44):
Tap water isn't safe to drinkanywhere in two more less days.
So plan to buy bottled water orpotentially use a water filter.
Terms of bottled water, standardis one and a half liter bottles.
They cost 50 cents and they'reavailable almost everywhere.
So they're cost effective.
If you're staying longer, youcan get 19 liter water bottles,
(07:05):
which are$10 for the bottle and$1 for each refill.
They're not that useful ifyou're a tourist, but if you're
gonna stay here, that's the bestway of getting clean water.
Number five, snorkeling anddiving.
So a standard scuba dive.
Expect to pay between 50 and 60US dollars per dive to get a
open water certification.
Those courses cost around$400.
(07:26):
Snorkeling from the mainland isfree as far as I've seen.
So if you go into$1 Beach orsome of the beaches like Bat
Beach and Tassie Tolu and CritoRay Beach in Dili, those are all
free.
If you are snorkeling in aprotected marine reserve, and
there are a number of thosearound at Island, for example,
the main one in Beloit, justfrom where most people will
(07:47):
stay, that is a protected marinereserve and you pay$2 entry fee
to go into the reserve.
And then again on Roo Island, ifyou're gonna rent a boat for
snorkeling, which is recommendedto get to the best reefs around
Beloit, they typically costabout$12 per hour.
But you can split that amongstyour group.
So if there's three of youthat's$4 per person Most of the
(08:09):
reefs in Leste, you can justaccess from the beach.
Certainly the ones on themainland typically like that,
but the ones in ARU Island alittle bit further out and worth
getting a boat out to.
It's a long swim.
It's a very short boat ride.
Number six in terms ofattractions and tours.
Now, almost all attractions inTimor are free to visit.
The exceptions would be placeslike the Mangroves in Hira, and
(08:32):
there's also mangroves in TBAR.
So that's to the east and thewest of Central Dili.
There's the Dock Marleywaterfall in Narro.
And then mentioned thosesnorkeling reserves around, but
the fees are typically one,$2.
They're, They're pretty cheapfor those kind of things.
The most expensive touristattraction that I've come across
in my travels around Timor isthe rock art site at ili, which
(08:56):
is near Jaco Island, and thatcosts tenuous dollars per
person, but that money's goingto the local community.
But that's probably the mostexpensive attraction.
But it is definitely worthvisiting.
The guided tours, they're gonnarange anywhere from$25 to$200
per day, and that really dependson the transport, the group size
and the location.
Often tour prices are based onthree people sharing a vehicle.
(09:19):
'cause you've got a four wheeldrive, you can get three people
reasonably comfortable in there.
You should always agree on theprice, the itinerary, and any
inclusions and exclusions inadvance.
So there's no surprises.
And remember to factor in thatyou'll typically pay for the
driver and guides food andaccommodation if your tour is
overnight.
So those costs, they might.
(09:41):
Say this is the daily rate, butthen you've gotta factor in, you
might need to put$30 towardstheir accommodation and food to
stay overnight.
There's no officialaccreditation scheme for guides
in Timor, so anybody can callthemselves a guide or a tour
company.
So that's just something to beaware of and I'd recommend that
you get some reviews or somerecommendations from people
before you make your choices.
(10:02):
If you look on the ExploringTimor website, there is
information and the tours aboutsome of the more well
established tour operators inTimor.
And those prices vary because ifyou are looking for a half day
walking tour somewhere or a guysup a mountain, that will be at
the lower end.
If you're looking for a fullysupported hike in a remote
location, that will be at thehigher end.
(10:22):
Number seven, the internet.
Free wifi is very rare outsideof high-end hotels, so you will
need mobile data to stayconnected.
There are three providers inTimor.
There's Timor Telecom, there'stele more, and there's.
Tele more cell they haveunlimited internet plans that
cost between 20 and 30 USdollars per month.
But those plans, althoughthey're unlimited, they have a
(10:43):
data cap, so they tend to workreally well for two or three
days, and then they drop toaccrual where the internet is
basically unusable.
So I would recommend buying acertain amount of data because
you know the speed then is gonnabe consistent during your stay.
And it depends on the durationand the amount of data you want.
If you're gonna be in Timor fora week, you're probably gonna
spend 10 or$20 on data.
Number eight, tipping and Moneytip.
(11:04):
So tipping isn't part of Timorless day's culture, but as a
visitor, your contributions areappreciated.
Cash is king.
Credit cards are very rarelyaccepted anywhere in two more,
less day, some of the high-end.
Tour operators or accommodation.
Few restaurants will acceptcredit cards and they'll only
accept Visa.
MasterCard is only accepted in BNews's ATM machines.
(11:28):
So cash is king.
Ideally bring it with you isprobably the simplest option.
There are ATMs in Timor.
In Dili.
There's a reasonable number.
They may not always have cash inthem, but if you go to a few you
should be fine when you startgetting outside of Dili.
So when you read the majorcities might have a couple of
ATMs.
So your best to bring all themoney that you need for your
(11:48):
entire trip uS Dollar Bank notesare accepted anywhere.
The best notes to have are 10and$20 bills,$50 bills.
You can probably get away withina supermarket, but anything
bigger than that is probablygonna be difficult.
$1 notes are generally but notalways accepted.
And then you have local timor'scoins for from$1 downwards
(12:10):
basically.
Now, I would suggest you alwaystry and hoard your change.
It can be quite hard to getchange sometimes, and
particularly if you're usingpublic transport, like the Ts,
you want to keep your smallcoins for those I finished with
a couple of bonus trips Ifyou're planning to travel
outside of Dili, it's best toprearrange your transport and
accommodation as options can belimited and it really helps to
(12:33):
learn a few basic tetin phrases.
It will go a long way with thelocals and it may save you
money.
So that's giving you a bit of anoverview of what things cost in
Timor Less estate in 2025.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
