Does some of the X-houses still impose time limits? I use to remember the annoying banging on the door with the 5 min warning to finish.

Thanks. Just interested in what still existed in Jakarta that would be reasonably safe for outsiders. Safety is always first. Not worth getting hurt or robbed just to save a few bucks.

Kalijodo...

3 nights? All the way to Jakarta from NY and that's all the time you have. Can't say its enough to enjoy the mongering experience.

But definitely 2-3 days is enough time for being a tourist...

Yeh, guess the world call it progress, while a monger calls it injustice.

Dolly was indeed the metropolis of brothels in its prime. I've only had the chance to visit the place once or twice in its...

Ok, finally remember the name of the place, Kalijodo. It was in north west Jakarta from memory. Govt bulldozed the whole place down about 10 yrs ago.

Too bad as it was a great place with cheaper...

I'm sure if you did some research, you can always find something you like no matter where you go. But my main point is this, Jakarta is NOT a true vacation paradise as outside of visiting some bars...

And another point as prices are similar, Bali is a much better place to visit. Cleaner air, nice beaches, more sites to see. Jakarta is a shithole by comparison, endless traffic, pollution so thick...

Been to both locations several times.

I found both locations to have similar prices (Bali x-house price to Jakarta spa like Classic). But Jakarta is a big city so much more girls to choose from...

All depends on definition of gang rape. I was once GR over 10 yrs ago in the Philippines by 4 girls (various looks from ok to cute). It was unannounced so I really didn't know what they were up to so...

Singapore had some fishbowls a few yrs ago, not sure if they are still there. Some houses have all Chinese and most houses have Thai. Fishbowls were small though. Only 5-6 at most.

Also heard...

Last time I was in the X houses was 2 years ago. Going alone without a local guide is cheaper as they get a commission for each customer. Will usually add about 5-10 to overall price. I remember...

Truth is most of the smaller GH in and around Kuta / Legian are never 100% full as most don't have online reservations. Mostly the well known big resorts and hotels and some with online service are...

Freezone already answer this and I also agree with him that Batam much better than Bali for P4P.

Today Batam is also better than Cambodia for P4P but that was not the case 5 years ago as the...

Not sure if you tried to really negotiate the price or did you give up after only visit to 1-2 Xhses?

Won't dispute that many X-hse have unattractive ones but also many nice ones to be found...

From my last trip to Sanur, here are my experiences with ATM withdraws.

1) Will get hit with at least one ATM transaction fee as my home bank made sure of that for not using their own banks ATM...

No need as Robert already said it for you.

At 62, you are between a Gizzer and dirt.

Cheers

No problems buddy,

Only speaking the truth.

Cheers.

Have not been back to Sanur in about a year so guess the prices have gone up. Last trip it was no problem getting 150k at most (but not all) X-hse. Yes they always start off with a front price at...

Ha ha,

Thanks, will try to keep that in mind, which is another reason why Barri's map and guide is so important. Could spend more time with the ladies rather than time searching for them.

Shark

Best advice I could give in this situation is to simply do a little research before wheels up to Bali.

My buddy and I spend a few dollars (or free if on the internet) but a detail street map of...

Yup.

Barri is indeed the great one that put together the immense effort and time for the great map and "Barri's Guide".

Phantomtiger and I rely on the Barri Map on our previous trips and owe...

Double Damn, At 50+, what does that make me?

Here is an off topic question and mainly for the long term expats here.

Planning a return to Sanur in a few months and hoping to find a good place for snorkeling (not scuba) , heard there were...

If you are referring to X-hse then you have definitely overpaid, regardless of if they were old, fat or ugly.

Depends as you have a very open ended question.

If you intend to go to the local brothel (houses) just to pick up a quickie or even a disco to pick up a paid FL then don't matter the age as only...
