As for for putting a house in the name of an Indonesian woman "you can trust", that is an oxymoron if ever there was one...

So you guessed that the "friend of mine" is a woman? Well, you are of course right.

I must admit that I had to look up "oxymoron" in a dictionary. But you are right in this case, too . A woman you can trust is an oxymoron.

Thanks to all of you for your advice. I will probably not buy any house - and if I do, I will be very careful.

As I said at the start - be very careful - and remember, even if they change the very complex ownership laws, they can always change them back again!

The law on land ownership for foreigners is about to change. It would of course be prudent to wait and see the implications of this. There was another article in the Jakarta Globe 2-3 days ago, maybe online somewhere..

A foreigner can't own land or a house or property in indonesia and that includes Bali, you will have to buy the house in a indonesians name and as you will be aware you would have to trust them 100%, remember it would just take one small argument or small disagreement and bang goes your investment. However there is one way you can do it but it is costly, set up a PMA company, google it and read about it. Wish you luck bet be very carefull.

A couple of years ago I was interested in buying a house in Jakarta and went to an agency called Century. It is true that you can not own property they told me. The only solution is a form of leasing. Forgot for how many years max you can do that and during that period, you will possess the immovable (leasehold is the term?) not own it.

I have looked into this in considerable detail with very reliable legal advice. I don't propose to give advice here as frankly, it's far too complex other than to summarise it thus: don't do it unless you are very willing to take financial risks and even then, get reliable legal advice - which does not include "independant" lawyers referred to you by someone selling the property!

A friend of mine suggests that I shall buy a house in Bali and I am really tempted.

Does anyone have experience from this and what pitfalls there can be?
Are there restrictions for foreigners when it comes to buying property?

There seem to be a lot of buildings under construction, ordered by people that don't intend to live in the house but to sell it with profit. Is there a risk for a speculation bubble or has it always been like this?

I am thankful for any advice from experienced people.

Gentlemen,

Thank you all for the information. Tommy, thanks for finding that thread. Like I said, I had searched and browsed but somehow did not find it. I was a little uneasy with some of the spam like responses I received and have decided not to use the service.

1Ball, thanks for your suggestion as well. I am definitely interested and will pm you directly.

Excellent research Tommy.

as I said earlier, caveat emptor.

Bardo, I know a prefect little villa in Seminyak, with a private pool, for about 100 USD. walk to the beach. And between me and the Prof, we can help find a few cuties for you. I am thinking of a very nice 24-26 year old girl I know, who will happily take care of you for 50 USD per day, run your errands for you, go to the supermarket to fill up the fridge, and has a great hard little brown body.

PM for details.

[Tommy Suharto]

Bardo- I believe there was some feedback earlier about this site in the Bali thread. Take care,

There aren't many Balinese girls in nightlife on Bali. The prostitutes and most normal girls in the clubs are from Java.

As usual , Big "C", you read 1/2 a post. We are talking about getting fucked in business, not in bed.

[Bigcebu]

The Balinese will fuck you with a smile on their face

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your responses so far. I apologise for not including more details but I was concerned that the forum rules wouldn't let me post the website address so I didn't want to inconvenience the administrator. I'm still not sure if I can post the address but when I search on google "adult vacation Bali" it is consistently the first hit.

As for details: The price is 200 dollars which is to include full service, a large villa, private pool, food and drinks, a car and driver and a large selection of girls from whom I can choose each day for a 24 hour stay although I prefer 12 hours so that I sleep alone.

The pictures of the villas look nice and the email pictures of the girls who provide the services I like were all attractive.

Although when in Bangkok, I enjoy going out and about and finding my own talent, for this trip my goal is to stay in the villa and finish up a writing project that is already months late. Of course, with intermittent breaks to stir the creative juices.

The service does supposedly accept credit cards.

Manta, thanks for your post. I searched the Bali section as thoroughly as I could manage before I posted and couldn't find a thread on topic but I will look again.

Any help is appreciated.

Generally speaking, if you use a credit cards you do have recourse through the card companies and most anyplace that takes cards wants to be in good standing with the card companies, but you cannot go to Visa and complain that the girl did not give you head and such. The card companies do not support illegal activities. I (who live here) think it's foolish to pre-purchase a girl here. I don't frequent the clubs, but i think you can find whatever it is you're looking for there. Just keep in mind that the average person might make $80 USD a month.

If you put the deposit on a credit card, I would think that you would be protected from any ripoffs.

Bali is the ripoff center of Indonesia. The Balinese cheat and lie constantly. Read some of the reports on the street money changers, or the Transport
drivers.

This is a 4th World country and if you get husseled you have no recourse but your Consulate General, and that can take years.

If they do not accept credit cards red flags should appear.
