Jakarta

[Irish Mongrel]

I'll be in CGK next month, and I'm doing some research. I see a few posts about tour guide plus plus. How do you guys normally meet these "tour guides plus plus"? I do want to explore the area and the food with a local, and I'd love some cultural insights as well.

Is it tinder + bumble + OKC + Badoo? Would appreciate help here.

I've had plenty of success with Tinder and also had WeChat on my phone, although didn't use that to meet anybody in Jakarta. With Tinder you can set up meetings beforehand, WeChat is of more a use once you get there with the discover function.

Tinder was pretty simple to use. First get Gold Level access a couple of weeks before you go and put yourself as being in Jakarta. Put in your intro what you want and the girls should come a knocking. Don't be too silly in what you put in there. I put in that I was a traveling guy, knew how to treat a lady, looking for dinner dates / company and plenty of girls start hitting you up. Never had anybody not end up back in my room. Lots of ladies out there just want some loving. Yes there are also plenty of sharks so start chatting with them and you will soon find out who the good ones are. And don't get shy to drop them if they don't seem right. Did that a few times. The effort is worth it and don't think I've been disappointed with the returns. Had one who got very possessive after a couple of repeats so bounced her. Ex-model, ex-wife of a bule, got the big house in Pondok Indah, but missed the fun around town. Did hitch up with a few gems, especially Uni Students. Yes it does take a bit of pre-work, but I found it to be worth it. Some would end up being travel companions when I visited Malaysia as KL had gone to the dogs as far as the P4 P scene goes.

WeChat is a completely different beast, if Jakarta is still the same as it was pre-Covid. You will get bombarded by greetings / contact requests. You will then have to decide who you want to connect with and then have to possibly deal with the bate and switch.

Yes to all of the above. Also, Indonesians are amazingly approachable. You will be surprised at what impromptu meetings will pop up if you go to a low to medium end mall and walk around with a smile and friendly attitude.

Pro tip: learning the simplest of Bahasa Indonesia greetings improves your odds 1000 x.

Enjoy. G.

I already received some offers for tour freebies, but didn't check if legit or fake yet. But sounds like it isn't uncommon.

Lets see if I can swing that.

Good luck. Just be aware that the girls' promises can be very unreliable, especially so if you aren't even in town / country yet.

I've found it much more reliable to make contact when I'm there and make plans to meet today or tomorrow, not next month.

Enjoy. G.

Guys,

Thank you all for giving me such great advise. I really appreciate that.

I have to admit, the option to stay at Jakarta and visit Bali with a local sounds highly intriguing.

Hi all,

Will be visiting Jakarta for a few days staying at milia hotel. I heard CJ bar still close? Any recommendations for short time or spa nearby? Or is Alexis hotel bathhouse still open? Thanks bro.

If you do go to Bali stay at Kuta. That is where all the freelancers are. Most of them are from Java not local. Local girls almost never interested in hooking for money.

All true. However, IG models will only be seen in public with socially acceptable dates (think tatted up Chad's). For mere mortals, they will insist on ST incalls to their apartments, likely in Seminyak.

Enjoy. G.

Guys,

I want to visit Indonesia in mid November. However, I am struggling to decide either to visit Jakarta or Bali.

Unfortunately, I won't manage to visit both places. I plan to stay for two weeks.

Can I ask, which place is easier to access for a first time visitor?

Any suggestions and help is highly appreciated!

Jakarta; many more girls and locations at all price points; no real central red light district or one stop shop and insane traffic...

Bali: lots of action within walking distance of the tourist areas or girls who will come to you....

Short, concise, and excellent writeup about those 2 cities. I personally visited Jakarta twice and I enjoyed it. Bali looks like a potential visit on my next trip to Indonesia.

Jakarta; many more girls and locations at all price points; no real central red light district or one stop shop and insane traffic meaning you can be driving for hours per day going from one option to another; little or no English at low end places; if your presentable, many freebies / GFEs available; foreigners are still a novelty in many areas so many girls who will offer to be a tour guide plus plus.

Bali: lots of action within walking distance of the tourist areas or girls who will come to you; girls are use to newbie tourists so action is typically very professional and uninspiring; generally very little GFE; like for like, tourist prices are 50% higher for poorer service; availability of mega hot Instagram models with prices and attitudes to match; lots of places to take a favoured girl for a few days or weekend; if your presentable, don't rule out local or foreign backpacker freebies.

Many would argue that the best option is to combine the two and offer a week's holiday to a girl in Jakarta and import her into Bali. Flights are cheap, you will get much better service levels and many girls would jump at the opportunity for minimal spending money. Obviously, you need to be confident in your choice.

Good luck. G.

My view. If you are coming as a tourist you will get very bored very quickly in Jakarta as there is bugger all to do apart from eat, drink, f*&k, repeat. Jakarta is fine if you are coming for work and want to have fun in the evening, but two weeks as a tourist. That would probably test even the most hardened monger. At least Bali has actual touristy things to do for a bit of a break, even if it's just to get out and walk about, and hopefully by November should be well on the way to recovering it's Mojo as far as girls go.

That is awesome advise! Never looked at it from that perspective. Thank you for that!

This forum sure is quiet!

I've seen a lot of comments lately, people asking for basic info of where to find the women, where to find the spas, etc.

I have created a very handy map, having done a lot of research before my trip to Jakarta for the first time, next week.

My Jakarta Day Spa, Nightlife and Tourist Map.

Great work. Fruitful information. Thanks a lot.
