Snowing is a ripping graphic journey into Bali’s underbelly and the brazen surfers who stoke the party island’s drug trade. The temptations and payoffs are huge, but so are the penalties. Snowing, impeccably researched over many months, pulls you in deep, into the hedonistic lives of drug dealers, their cunning smuggling tricks (yes indeed, surfboards were stuffed with cocaine along with hang glider components) and inevitable stumbles; there are “usually no happy endings.”If for you, ‘hard drugs’ are a rum & Coke, this book is a real eye opener. The book paints a vivid picture of the island’s multinational drug scene and its colourful modern-day pirates. Kathryn takes us places we’ve never been, lifting the lid on some extraordinary and almost enviable lifestyles. Enviable, that is, until the long arm of the law reaches out.Read Snowing and you’re hooked – it’s the book equivalent of a gateway drug - you’ll want to read the startling account of Bali’s notorious Kerobokan jail, Hotel Kerobokan, where so many drug dealing careers have ended. Some inmates live through hell, facing execution, but money and contacts buy drugs and sex or even a trip to the beach.Kathryn’s Operation Playboy is another real page turner focused on the South American surfer party boys with “steely nerves,” some from surprisingly wealthy backgrounds, who run drugs between South America and Europe.KB’s habit-forming books are truly must read. - Grant Dyson ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and exciting! *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2024* This book read like a telenovela! Kind of dragged towards the end but overall well written and interesting read. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Bali and Indonesia are deeper than the tourist gloss *by I***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020* On a variety of levels, Indonesia is a complicated country. Starting with the fact that it is an archipelago. One of the islands that is visited the most by tourists is Bali.In 2019 my wife and I stayed in Bali for four days before flying to the Wakatobi dive resort. We stayed in Ubud, which is about two hours by car from Denpasar, where the main airport is located.In Denpasar and Ubud the impact of tourism is everywhere. Compared to European countries and the United States, Indonesia is a poor country and tourism is critical to Bali's economy.Beneath the glossy tourist experience, there is an underworld that, in part, feeds the tourists. The underworld documented in Snowing in Bali is the world of drug importers and drug dealers. This is a world that most of us (who don't use drug, especially in a foreign country) will never see.The author, Kathryn Bonella, does a remarkable job developing sources in the drug running and drug dealing community. Many of the drug runners and drug dealers are surfers who wanted to live in Bali and found drug dealing an easy way to live a fantasy lifestyle. Until it all came crashing down. Drug running in Indonesia can carry the death penalty or years in hellish prisons. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/90998342-snowing-in-bali-the-incredible-inside-account-of-balis-hidden](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/90998342-snowing-in-bali-the-incredible-inside-account-of-balis-hidden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
