Jakarta

[HelloYou]

Try not to bring more then you need. I carry a crossbody. The only thing they ask to hold for me is my bottled water which I later retrieve without tipping.

Tipping the girl is optional if they exceed service. Basic service that you shouldn't have to tip is basic CFS and BBBJ. I normally tip extra if I asked to bring my donkey or my camera crew.

Awww good to know. Do they allow to record?

Can I ask them if I can record on my phone and pay tips? How much tips for this?

[StinkyFeet]

I had 2 punt in komplex already.

First was in Starmoon (the story I just posted). I had to get a drink first (paid 50 k). Then after paying 350 k then last asked for tips so I added 100 k. Then at the exit the doorman who hold my backpack (I thought it was mandatory) asked for 10 k tips.

So 160 k more than what I should have paid? Or is it mandatory?

Then went to Suri Ayu. Girl cost 400 k for 1 h. Girl kept asking me if I finished. I kept telling her it's 1 h. I think she ended up leaving after 20-25 min. Not sure if I can keep them staying for the full hour?

And lastly, I m hesitating to book night in Classic hotel. Do I need to book night in this hotel to use the girls facilities? Or can I just pop in and use the services?

And train track shouldn t be used if I don t speak Indonesian?

Thank you.

[HelloYou]

The tips are optional. You tip if you like the girl and / or are planning to visit her a second time.
Doormen are in the habit of asking for tips. You can smile and say next time. Don't feel pressured to tip.
You tipped the girl 100,000 IDR which is 6 Euros or 6. 25 US Dollars. Not a lot of money. Just wanted to put this in context.

Hotel Classic.
You do NOT have to stay in the Hotel to visit the Club. You can walk in and look around. If you don't like any of the girls you can leave.
I suggest you read some of the earlier trip reports (Use the Search tool). Hotel Classic is very well documented in this forum!

Thanks I was thinking it was necessary but will do what you said for the next time. Train track sounded good though.

It is a slum, The whole Penjaringan area is a slum and they can be nasty through there.
Only plus is the girls Ooh la la!

Are we talking dodgy levels like Today Country / Tiara Ciara or much worse? Actually I can probably figure that one out. TC was the same level of dodgy as the places all along Mangga Besar. Travel was a step above though.

But the girls oo la la! One of the best from that place even had a name like that.

Ok I just wanted to have an excuse to mention TC. Back to the regularly scheduled discussion whilst I cue up 'Memories' on Spotify.

Train Tracks/Penjaringan
I have not been here. However, after reading the posts from OS and Stinky feet I have no interest in visiting this dump. I like comfort, cleanliness and safety.

Went there and it looked like a slum. I couldn t find much walking around this area and it felt quite dodgy.

It is a slum, The whole Penjaringan area is a slum and they can be nasty through there. The nearby Bahari apartments are where they went from floor to floor during the Jakarta riots raping and tossing people off their balconies.

Only plus is the girls Ooh la la!

[HelloYou]

I don't know why you choose to find train tracks ass your first punt. Just go to classic hotel. It's so much easier. If you go to komplek you have to bar hop since there's no door cover and no minimum drink too enter.

The place is a filthy giant dump, half the rooms don't have anywhere to wash and the other half have a bucket with a ladle. You dry yourself with the tissues they supply you with. OS put his foot through the ply room floor and on the way out see's some Nigerian pissing on the floor of the wash area where two minutes earlier OS was standing in his bare feet. And you would want to wash your clothes afterward or risk getting body lice. It is an assault on the senses and if it ever caught fire would be a death trap.

From the photo posted by steelbaton, seems the location is in Penjaringan, north Jakarta, perhaps somewhere along Jalan Bandengan Utara III. I've never been there, but perhaps a member as intrepid as Mr. Stinkyfeet can find it and report. Thanks to stinky for presenting this challenge to us!

I visited this place once around 15 years ago but that was after I had lived in Jakarta for over two years and spoke reasonably fluent Bahasa. The only reason I even went was to check it out and add it to my list of Jakarta adventures (I had sex at over 50 MPs during my time in Jakarta) and I never bothered to go back.

Stinky is correct, anyone new to Jakarta shouldn't even think of visiting this place, unless you are brought there by a trusted companion who's fluent in Bahasa, and even then there are numerous better places. As OS points out, the place really is a filthy dump.

[HelloYou]

In Germany and the Netherlands (the former colonial occupier of Indonesia.) Like raising the middle finger. There's a cannon in the fort that has that hand gesture as the trigger.

Awww thanks. Good to know. The place looked so dodgy. I wasn t sure if they were going to rob me or anything though. Not sure if it was the train track place as well.

So I ve been trying to find the royal gedong but couldn t really find anything.

Went there and it looked like a slum. I couldn t find much walking around this area and it felt quite dodgy.

Then somehow a couple lady psst me. I came to them. And without saying anything showed me a closed fist with the thumb between the index and the middle finger.

I wasn't clear whether they wanted to sell me drug or if it was for a punt. Being cautious I just refused and kept walking.

If anyone can help me to find the hotties from royal gedong would be very grateful.

Then I went to starmoon bar.

Receptionist asked me for my backpack and give me a card.

Then when I arrived in the bar, the music was so loud. I was offered to get some overpriced drink. I just picked the cheapest one at 48 k.

Then the mamasan asked me to pick between 20 something girls. The green one cost 350 k the red one 400 k.

I picked a green one and we went up stairs to a room where we both had to wash.

The sex was average, but the lady was young and cute enough for me to be ok. Especially at that price bracket. She didn't do much position. Only missionary and doggy. But at least not rushed like the Romanians!

When I finished she asked for tips. I wasn't really happy with her service but still gave 100.

So that's my exp so far and the only punt I had so far in Indonesia. Not easy to find anything here.

But at least I found the first one. Hoping there will be more in the next few remaining week here.

Additional context. This is from an Indonesian online forum dedicated to the place. The translation is straight from google:

Hati2 ke RGP skrg teman2.

Ada tamu dibacok oleh calo dari salah satu cafe (nama cafe disimpan demi nama baik).

Tamunya udah lapor Polres.

Keep fun and tetap waspada.

Watch out for RGP now friends.

There was a guest who was stabbed by a scalper from one of the cafes (the name of the cafe was saved for the sake of reputation).

The guest has reported the police.

Keep fun and stay alert.

Or another poster who spent an hour and a half stuck in one of those filthy rooms with the girl whil the police raided the place.

It's an experience alright.

[Offshore Swell]

It's in a city of 11+ million near railroad tracks in a large central area of the city. I don't think a lot of people will be able to find it from that information. If they do, it will be because they walk the tracks for several miles.

I took matters into my own hands and told her which woman from the couches I wanted, if they are not from her own group they do get a bit narky but fuck it, I can live with that.

This is how I've been doing it since after my first couple of visits when I was naive. I don't walk into a gogo bar in Thailand and let a mamsan tell me which girl I should go with so why would I let a mamasan pick my girl in Jakarta? As you said, they always bring the worst girls cause those are the girls in her group who haven't been busy. If I see a hot girl and she's walking to a room I stop her and ask her who her mamasan is. Then let the mamasan know I'm interested either today or on my next visits.
