"A washed with drugs and hookers. From marijuana, cocaine and heroine plentiful."

Just on this point alone Bali isn't Robinson Crusoe... Been through Bali many times since the late 80's as a surfer. Up to about trip number 9 from memory. Had my honeymoon in Sumba even. Yep its got all the above. Once the western crew hit it, it was on. Thailand, while I haven't been, and have no desire is apparently equal too, with their full moon parties and your steroids LEGAL. Thus the reason all the muscle jocks go to get a sun tan and get their "gear" legally.

When I first went to Indonesia and Bali in particular Smack was as plentiful as cold beer in the late 80's and pot was as common as the sun rising. They used to always say it was "snowing" a plenty in Bali. And you dipped if you dared.

Mind you, I've seen all the above at most places I travel. Somoa, Fiji, Tahiti, Cook islands, Tonga, Maldives, PNG... its there if you look. Bali tends to mix the seedy with the tourist easier thus the reason its more obvious. I home stayed with some locals in Morea in Tahiti for 6 weeks 2 years ago and despite its relative seclusion, gunga oclock and beers at 10 was as common as your local bread stick. The main difference was you drove to the local store drunk for tops ups throughout the day. Its crazy, just not in the headlines...

All that being said, you want a place awash with drugs, hookers and fight galore take a 5 minute drive from my front door and you can score all and more... Look for the street called CAVILL AVENUE!
