Posts: 3393Not a true mongering report but a situational report on Kuta.
Arriving at the airport was time consuming but not the Cluster Fuck I was expecting. Just research what is required at the time of your arrival and have paper copies of everything ready.
For me that was:
Covid Insurance.
Proof of Vaccinations.
Negative PCR.
3 N4 the hotel reservation.
No one cared about the tracking app.
Visa on Arrival was 500 k, PCR test was 285 k. Card or foreign currency accepted. Change is in IDR.
Get a SIM at the airport desk. It takes a while but most of the shops in Kuta are closed. About 10 minutes and its active.
ATMs at the Arrival hall are working.
Taxi, touts or Grab available. No need to use hotel transfer if you don't wish.
PCR results took about 3 hours. Technically you should stay in the hotel until it's received but this is not monitored nor enforced.
Hotels are doing an OK domestic tourist business but Foreigners are still a rarety. At least 50% of inner Kuta is still closed. Streets are near deserted.
Mask usage is near 100% when not eating.
Some legit and ++ massage places are open. Even the legit places are now offering "in room" service. ++ places are staffed by some oldies still hanging on for dear life. A few younger motor bike girls offering to drive you home for a massage. During the day there are a couple of girls hanging out at the small bars around Legian but they are no stunners.
Sorry no idea on night time options or business.
Some reports of areas outside Kuta doing ok with return or destination customers but don't expect to turn up, hit the clubs and mingle until you find someone.
Cheers. G.

Since I posted my original post, my original flight booking was cancelled by the airline which also screwed up my hotels etc. I'm sorting this out now. I don't mind though. I think that is just the cost of trying to be in the first wave of adventurers as these countries open up post-pandemic.

Posts: 462Online prospecting
I see that Jetstar are offering AUD300 return flights from BNE-DPS-BNE which has got me interested in reacquainting myself. I'm thinking of taking a punt and locking in a fare for June or July, my winter months here. 4 months until then is a long time in a pandemic so I'll only go if quarantine is lifted by then.
My alternative plan is for Manila and Subic, airfares currently about $1,200 return. I am very familiar with the scene in Philippines where I have consistently used Pinalove when in country to find a steady list of dating girls.
What is the recommended platform for hooking up with freelancers in Bali?
I signed up to Date in Asia. Not an overwhelming number of girls.
Hoping an experienced Bali-punter can point me in the right direction.

SEA Countries like Thailand, Philippines, Singapore no longer require quarantine. Why would any tourist want to have the pleasure of getting imprisoned in a hotel room for 5 straight days for non-essential travel when they can have all other options available to them.
Let's see how far this policy would get them.

Posts: 342Bali Now Open
As of this week, Bali will open to most foreigners. Quarantines of 4 nights /5 days required for fully vaxxed. And, to quarantine in Bali you must arrive on an international flight (not via Jakarta). Expected to be 3 international flights a day.
https://indonesiaexpat.id/news/visa-...-riau-islands/
The government will allow foreign tourists to visit Bali and the Riau Islands through two airports in Bali and the Riau Islands as entry points for their arrival.
Terms.
The government will require foreigners who want to travel to Bali and Riau Islands to have a B211 A tourist visit visa with a travel company guarantor, not individuals.
Foreign tourists who will travel in the two regions are also required to follow the arrival protocol for international travellers. This provision is regulated in the Circular of the Head of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force number 2 of 2022.
These requirements include:
A complete course of COVID-19 vaccination, with a certificate.
RT-PCR test results.
Proof of ownership of health insurance.
Proof of confirmation of accommodation payment.
Entering Bali.
In a release received by KONTAN, three airlines have received permits to enter Bali. These are:
Garuda Indonesia with the Narita-Japan route on 2nd February.
Singapore Airlines with the Singapore-Bali route on 16th February.
Batik Air with the route Bali-Singapore on 16th February.
Up to the time of publication, the government has not issued further details of Bali's international opening.

And, yeah, if anyone else has advice on spots or girls that are semi-legit and don't offer much if any extras beyond happy endings, but as a result aren't as much of a drain on my wallet, feel free to reach out to me directly or here in the forum.
As mentioned, I'm curious not only about visiting establishments, but just as much so about girls, whether freelance or with a company, who do this on an outcall basis.
Thanks!

Posts: 13Rumors of more re-opening?
To those on the ground (or well connected), a question:
Are there any rumors of further opening? In particular for the reinstatement of VOA? I hold UK and Irish passports but no longer any work-related reason to enter the country.

Posts: 80I hope you get some help. I am interested too! I know the area a bit, but have not yet discovered too many places where a happy ending is possible, but not assumed.
Of course it is tough to communicate if you are not a member, but there may be some out there who can share about places that offer less than the Spas and Fishbowls where the ending is much more happy than you are seeking.
If you get a membership, please contact me.

Posts: 15Tips on semi-legit massage spots and masseuses?
Any tips on nicely upkept, semi-legit massage spots or masseuses that also offer happy endings? (The closer to Sanur, the better.)
I'm familiar with spots like Flame, but I also like to have some nice spots or girls in my rolodex that are semi-legit and don't offer much if any extras beyond happy endings, but as a result aren't as much of a drain on my wallet. (To help hold me over between pricier, more adventurous outings, haha.)
I'm curious not only about visiting establishments, but just as much so about girls, whether freelance or with a company, who do this on an outcall basis.
While young and attractive is always nice, I'm a little less concerned about age and looks here, as I don't intend to sleep with the girl. In other words, I'm totally fine with a presentable 48-year-old masseuse with good hand technique.
I'm not a paid subscriber, which I believe means I can't receive PMs, but if you have tips that you can only share privately, let me know and I can look into subscribing!
