Posts: 764Jakarta Trip Report: April 2019.
Hey fellas,
Well, here it is, the trip report for my visit to Jakarta in mid-April 2019. Apologies for the tardiness of this report, but I've been swamped with tasks and duties since I got back from Indonesia and only recently have had time to sit down and compose this report.
Apologies to anyone who thinks that my report is tedious. But as anyone can see from my many other reports on ISG (Medellin, Sint Maarten, Budapest, Guadalajara, San Salvador, Saint Petersburg, Merida, Trinidad, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, Vancouver, Quito, Belize City), I tend to be hyper-specific with information. But for this report, if you just want the details of my (attempted) mongering, skip down to number five below.
1) Airline. I hopped across the Pacific on EVA Air:
www.evaair.com/en-us/index.html#
Traveling to 34 different countries since 2008, this is the first airline to ever hassle me about the weight of my carry-on bag, and I've been on everything, from a 787 Dreamliner out of Tokyo to a Cessna 208 Caravan into Guatemala. But they redeemed themselves when it was time to hop back across the Pacific. Forced to wait for documents, we left Jakarta an hour and a half late and landed in Taipei ten minutes after my connecting flight was supposed to depart. Luckily, they held the connecting flight for me and about a dozen other passengers connecting in Taipei from other flights. All in all, I was pretty satisfied with EVA Air and will likely use them for a future trip to Taipei.
2) Guidebook. I used Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta:
shop.lonelyplanet.com/search?q=Jakarta
In all of my travels, I've almost always used Lonely Planet guidebooks and have always used their full-size country or city guidebooks, so I was pretty skeptical about a pocket-size version. But Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta was packed with information about what to see, where to eat, where to shop, and where to party. The only information that it didn't have was where to sleep, but most tourists probably already have a hotel reservation before they land at the airport anyway. A new edition of the Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta guidebook is scheduled to be released this July.
3) Passport. There was some recent discussion in this forum about carrying your passport on your person and running the risk of losing it or having it stolen by a pickpocket versus not carrying it and running the risk of being shaken-down by corrupt law enforcement who request to see your passport and immigration stamp at a police or military checkpoint. Well, for over a week, I walked all over Jakarta and took many taxis, and not once did anyone ask to see my passport or immigration stamp. The exception to that was at Dua Sisi Money Changer in Plaza Senayan, where I needed to provide my passport each time I made a currency exchange. Otherwise, I kept my passport in the security safe of my hotel room with no issues.
4) Hotel. Speaking of hotel, I was lodged for over a week at Fairmont Jakarta:

When you walk through the main entrance of Hotel Mulia, take the staircase on the right, which will bring you to the receptionist desk and entrance doors of the bar.
I arrived at the ridiculously early time of 945 pm. At the desk, the receptionist told me that there was an Easter party that night and that the cover charge was two hundred sixty thousand rupiah. I paid the cover charge and got both a receipt for a Heineken draft as my welcome drink and an Easter cookie from the receptionist.
I entered the bar, got a quick "hand wand" security check, then exchanged my receipt for a small Heineken draft at the bar. The place was dead, but I made eye contact with a couple of WGs who were already on the prowl and took a seat at a section of one of the raised tables that didn't have a reserved sign on it. I made conversation with one of the waiters, who said that a sofa in the VIP section was four million three hundred thousand rupiah with one million three hundred thousand rupiah in food and drinks included, while couches in the other room (the one with the painting of the Rolling Stones on the wall) was two million rupiah with one million rupiah in food and drinks included.
I quickly finished my Heineken and ordered a bottled Bintang beer from a waiter for one hundred twenty thousand rupiah. From the time I sat down and until the band started playing at 11 pm, I was approached by two WGs. The first was unappealingly pear-shaped and promised a great massage and sex until I was tired. The second said she was 33 years old but honestly looked 45. Both WGs started with the usual questions (What is your name? Where are you staying? How long will you be in Jakarta?) and immediately quoted prices in dollars but switched to rupiah when asked. Their opening offers were somewhere in the neighborhood of two million to two million five hundred thousand rupiah, but they quickly dropped to one million five hundred thousand rupiah when I genuinely acted not interested. Once the band started playing at 11 pm, most WGs in the place retreated to the bar near the entrance door so they could eye-fuck potential clients around the room. And at 1 am, with most WGs eagerly puffing away on cigarettes and rolling clouds of smoke filling the room, I decided to tap out and head back to the hotel. Even though I didn't monger, I'm happy I had the experience, as the band was great and the crowd was lively and fun.
So that's it. Apologies for this not being the hottest, nastiest, ball-slappingest report that's ever been written for ISG, but if even one monger finds my contribution useful, then I'll be satisfied. Just for the hell of it, I've attached a picture of the receipts for my Bintang beers, my Fairmont Jakarta room key card, and the Easter cookie that CJ's was giving out on the night of my visit. Comments, questions, and insults are welcome from other ISG mongers.

Plus it's not particularly enjoyable hanging out at a Kota Indah bar.

Guangzhou is great but I don't know if the water spas are taking a break for the same anniversary celebration. Even when they were going full steam, it was not easy to find action and it was usually plus-plus only. Sure plus-plus-plus was available, but you couldn't even buy it on the menu except for one or places. A majority of the spas (like 8 out of 10) were only plus and it's pricey! I also went to SZ once by train because my dick for some reason thought it was a pussy divining rod. Boy did it let me down that trip. 2.5 hours on a train each way and ended up getting CFS from a gal that's 10 years older, 15 pounds heavier, and Jack Nicholson uglier than she should be. Oh yeah, the place was a total dump too.
Don't get me wrong, China may rock again later but for the time being it's slow due to the political attention of the celebration.

Posts: 60As Goferring stated, it based on how much you are willing to pay. Speaking for Bangkok, it so damn easy and everything is close together with a few subway stops away or walking. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and you will find them more if you're into overpriced drinks and loud music. Nana Plaza & Soi Cowboy (barfine + ST / LT). You can try the big massage parlors in the Huay Kwang area or smaller massage parlors around Soi 22, 24, 26, 31, 33. Going around the smaller massage parlors can be exhausting trying to find a girl. The smaller parlors run from 1700 - 2600 baht for 1 hour. Big parlors can run you from 2500 - 6000+ baht for 1 hour. I would skip KTV, I haven't had good experiences in KTV and you pay everyone for doing minor things.
