Naah, that's too far in the north.

Huh? I Just answered to Sharka about the link posted by FriendlyPlanet. Different places.

"Tugu Pekojan"or "Pekojan monument".

Naah, that's too far in the north. What I was talking about is in this maps, same location, different scale. And don't expect shaved pussy there, hehe. Hope it helps a little bit.

Sorry, don't really know how this works. I put this into google search and it comes back to this post.
Went to Google maps and put this in and comes back invalid.

You just have to select the link, right click, open a new tab or window. Work fine for me.

The link will direct you to the attached google street view image, address Jl. Rw. Bebek Selatan. I think you can find more info in this thread if you search for "Tugu Pekojan"or "Pekojan monument".

Around 100 k IDR. For the room 20 k, 1 towel 10 k, 1 condom 10 k, for the girl 50 k. Half an hour, one pop. Fair enough.

That was about the price for Kalijodo RLD before it was demolished by the Govt with bulldozers few years back. Except I don't remember having to pay extra for room, towels (as none was provided- few tissues was handed for clean up), condoms was charged if you didn't bring any. The pimp gave a price and it was all inclusive from what I remember.

Funny, I was never a big fan of Kalijodo but I miss it now that its gone and wish I had visited more when it was still there. Cheap and a lot of variety.

Cheers.

Perhaps someone can PM me and explain how to use this find the location.

Thanks.

Not sure what is low-end prices though?

I never did make it to Jakarta this year first time I missed being there in 20 yrs, due to Covid. I really hope that the virus is under control by May so that I can plan a return in the summer.

I also hope that Blok M is still around when I return.

Stay safe from the virus in Jakarta.

Are places open such as malls, restaurants, do people wear masks in public?

Yes malls and restaurants are open. For these 2 weeks though only until 7 pm but the hours have been normal for a while now. Everyone wears masks and in Jakarta you even need to wear them in your car even if you're by yourself.

Where I sometimes went to and what I've considered low end, was near Station Tanahabang. Some rundown houses parallel to the railway tracks and this smelly river or channel or whatever it is.

I have heard of this place from several people but it's difficult to find, perhaps I will use a guide next time I am in Jakarta.

There's at least 3 places open that are drawing a reasonable crowd from what I saw last Saturday. Tavern Bar had a pretty good crowd with live music. MyBar was remodeled and rebranded as MB Lounge, and Dee's Place was remodeled and rebranded as Ann's place (back room is still closed). Both have fewer customers than pre-covid, but have really been cleaned up and look a lot better. There were also some locals hanging out in front of Obama bar and another one a bit down the street, but I didn't bother to peek my head in.

Hope that helps.

Thanks OS, it does help. After reading your description it's probably not for me. I'm not that brave.

One would assume it's not for the faint of heart?

There's info about it online as recently as 27/12. Upstairs permanently closed and boarded up. Girls moved downstairs to "Royal Below", and the standard of an already seriously downmarket place even further down. Aggressive mamis. And a warning to even other locals to be careful there. This punter would take the Priok bars or "Rambo", as they are known over that dump any day. If you drive straight North from that location into Penjaringan and Muara Baru fishing port, you will pretty quickly understand why it’s a dump

Hope that helps.

Here's a google maps link to the entrance- no idea if there's any activity there now.

Do you know the location well enough to post a link to a pin on google maps?

I tried to find this place / area when I first got to Jakarta, before covid hit, but it was either closed or I wasn't looking in the right place.

When was the last time anyone was there? I'm happy to go scout it out.

The Falatehan bars are open, just about, but they are certainly quiet with little or no action. They are hit and miss though, some nights they will stay open late, speakeasy-like, with all the exterior lights off and a "closed" sign on the door, the next night they will genuinely be closed at 8 pm, there doesn't appear to be any consistency, seems it depends which Satpol PP officer is on duty that night. There are other bars open in South Jakarta but no action that I can see.

As regards Tinder prices there are two types, the genuine girl working her own account and, more often, a mami using a fake profile and sending out whatever girls she has to hand when you agree to a meeting. The former are often genuinely hard up and will agree to an afternoon hookup for as little as 600 k, they are amateurs and can make for quite a nice date. Conversely the mamis start the bidding at 1. 5 jt, if you counter offer, say 800 k, there will be a delay while she presumably phones around asking if any of her girls are interested, if one agrees you're in luck. But of course there will be a two-hour delay as she gets ready and travels across town to wherever you are, and it's unlikely the girl who arrives will bear any resemblance to the girl in the profile.

But Tinder is pretty much the only scene there is just now, and being Jakarta there are still plenty of simple good old-fashioned bored girls stuck in a dead-end job living in a crappy kos-kosan, who just want to be spoiled for the night and are happy to make out with some decent guy who treats them nicely.
