This is the bizarre moment an Australian tourist in Bali emerged from a bathroom covered in filth.

Revellers alerted the police when two holidaymakers locked themselves in the toilet of a resort on the popular Indonesian island on January 9.

The cops were forced to open the door after multiple attempts to knock were met with no response.

Footage captured by Kristian Rebersak shows the allegedly intoxicated man smeared in dirt across his face and body, limping out of the cubicle while his friend is seen bending over the toilet bowl.

A policeman asks in the video asks the Aussie what he is doing, to which he responds, 'I don't f****** know,' while holding his phone with the camera app open.

A janitor holding a mop, visibly puzzled and upset by the smudged mess on the floor, can be seen sweeping his fingers on the man's stomach to check whether the substance is faeces or dirt.

Onlookers speculated that the pair had smashed a large potted plant inside the toilet, causing soil to scatter across the floor before they proceeded to smudge the dirt over their own faces.

However, locals have condemned the act, with many stating that such lowly behaviour is why some Indonesians are becoming increasingly frustrated with foreign visitors.

One Aussie commentator suggested the behaviour stems from a lack of self-control.

She said: 'I reckon this is what happens when Aussie Responsible Service of Alcohol laws control people so hard. Then in Bali, nobody cuts us off at the bar and people get wasted. These boys are smashed and need to go to bed.'

This incident follows a string of cases in which unruly tourists have disrupted public order.

On January 8, a group of tourists had a mass brawl in front of a supermarket on the island.

Last December, adult content creator Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was fined for a traffic violation involving a pick-up truck used during 'Schoolies' celebrations.

The adult content creator and 17 men, including 15 Australians and two Brits, were arrested at a studio on December 4. They are said to have been the youths playing the sex game.

Recently, an Australian citizen, Lamar Aaron Ahchee, 43, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after smuggling cocaine in Bali.

As a result of such incidents, authorities are now considering introducing bank balance checks this year as part of a stricter visa process.

Under this new regulation, tourists would be required to disclose their bank account statements from the previous three months to prove financial stability before entry.

The proposal aims to make sure visitors have sufficient funds, reduce visa misuse, and curb 'low-spending' tourism and illegal activities.

Bali Governor Wayan Koster said: 'The policy would require foreign visitors to demonstrate adequate financial resources, including a review of savings over the previous three months.'

Visitors will also need to show their itinerary, including planned activities and the duration of stay on the island.

The governor added: 'This is to ensure everything is under control, just like when we travel to other countries, where we are subjected to similar policies. We will do the same.'

In 2024, a mandatory 150,000 IDR (6.6 GBP) departure tax was also imposed on international tourists leaving Bali, though collections have been lax.
