Jakarta

[Ggekko2009]

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.

We certainly appreciate your contribution to this forum with your report. It provides readers with well rounded information to the Jakarta scenes.

Smoothy concluded because his past posts are in Indian threads.

Not really. I didn't need to look at any old posts. It seems that almost every Indian visiting Jakarta for the first time has either sent me a PM or posted the same format of text. It's easily identifiable.

And I do agree with BKKGuru's comment that "This message is a prime example of how to annoy, irritate and destroy goodwill." Unfortunately, it seems to be pretty much every time any Indian posts on this Jakarta forum for the first time. Must be a cultural thing.

Hello friends,
Will be visiting Jakarta on 2nd week of June.
<snip>

I won't be able to arrange place.

All kinds are welcome be it Indonesian or Vietnamese.
Haven't taken Vietnamese before though.
Would love to try something out in Vietnamese.

1) If you like Vietnamese girls, you are visiting the wrong country.

2) "I won't be able to arrange place".
This is a strange comment. OK let me guess. Your plane ticket was expensive and you are short on Cash now.

This message is a prime example of how to annoy, irritate and destroy goodwill.

Not just Indian but Jbb pretty much declared himself Senior member of Mumbai and seeking contacts! He made similar post in Mumbai but luckily he was looking for Afro instead of Indonesian or Vietnamese! I don't know what kind of herbs he is on but it's definitely not working on his favor LMAO. His Hyderabad post is quite interesting too.

I haven't been to Jakarta for 8 years and can only remember the name of one place I visited which was Hotel Travel, I visited 2 other clubs a short distance by taxi from Hotel Travel, I will be returning soon, can anyone recommend any good clubs / massage parlours to visit which is near to Hotel Travel.

[Gargano19]

Same thought! But how come you concluded that he is Indian?

Hello friends,

Will be visiting Jakarta on 2nd week of June.

Its a short trip so I won't be able to take more than 1 WG.

My preferences are young, beautiful, good asset, good service.

I won't be able to arrange place.

And I will be taking her for maximum 2 shots.

All kinds are welcome be it Indonesian or Vietnamese.

Haven't taken Vietnamese before though.

Would love to try something out in Vietnamese.

Kindly provide some leads.

I would love to be of assistance in return.

I have very less space in my inbox so please bear with me if it gets full.

I'll try to make space for everyone.

Cheers.

Yeah looks like it's not your lucky day Mr JBB. I sent you a PM with the phone numbers of 5 of my 18 old "special friends" in Jakarta. All of who also love to do anal and who get really turned on by men with a sense of privilege like you sound to be. But your inbox was full, how sad!. Too bad I am going mountain climbing in Antarctica for the next 3 months and won't be able to help you anymore. Would have loved to share my contacts with you. Not!

[Menteng]

Your inbox is full? Come on.

Same thought! But how come you concluded that he is Indian?

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:

www.fairmont.com/jakarta/

Now, Natty Bumpo said:

Now to my Fairmont review: Wow! This IS a true 5-star hotel. It is also very large, about 5 times as large as the Fairmont Makati. The 1-bedroom suite was the size of two deluxe rooms with a living room / dining room, the bedroom and 1. 5 bathrooms. Everything was modern, new and top quality.

And he was exactly right. Clean and modern with a friendly and helpful staff and an amazing breakfast buffet, Fairmont Jakarta was perfect for my time in the city. The hotel is connected to Plaza Senayan via underground and above-ground passages, with Senayan City a short, outdoor walk away. At both Plaza Senayan and Senayan City, there's extensive shopping, currency exchange, and restaurants. If you'd like to have a good sampling of food from Indonesia but don't want to go too far from Fairmont Jakarta, go to Remboelan, which has a location in both Plaza Senayan and Senayan City. Personally, I found the Remboelan in Senayan City to be more hip with better service than at the Remboelan in Plaza Senayan.

5) Attempted Session. I visited CJ's Bar on the Saturday immediately before Easter Sunday. CJ's is located on the second floor of Hotel Mulia and is an easy, 15-minute walk from 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.

Your inbox is full? Come on. With a first post on this forum like that, you have got to be kidding. Who is going to send you a PM? My guess is very few. There's lots of information here on the forum already. I suggest you either read the forum for information or maybe try making a connection on facebook https://www.facebook.com/JakartaIndian/.

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.

China still rocks, but only for the privileged or the well-connected. The average monger has no hope in hell there for times to come.

[LookAtWorld]

One of those girls used to live down the hall from me, so I know she's real and on the game.

Good to know. Thanks. I will try during my July trip and will post my review.

[Wimble]

I can only assume some arrangement was made. Maybe he was looking forward to driving a new Rolls.

The father od the killer was Ibnu Sutowo, the first head of Pertamina, and arguable the only owner of a Rolls Royce in a time when it was not allowed to have a car that was not made in Indonesia.

The killer was not sentenced because the father of the victim supposedly has said that he doesn't want another father to loose a son.

Nowadays, cash is king. If you are able to take enough out of your account in cash. There was a time when Amex was the card. I never had an Amex declined but had with other cards and banks. Buffet got questioned when he was taking out his regular 8 k or so for his wife's pocket change. Go figure.

[Marky1]

Well, in comparison to things I can say that Indo hotties run about 600 k to 1.7 M for ST and maybe up to 2.5 M for LT. These are all in excluding taxi, hotel, and airfare. If you had the option of spending a week smashing Kota indah and classic versus going to Bangkok, KL, Manilla, etc, where would you go for either hotter girls and same budget or similar hotness and lower cost? I'm assuming the action is similar in terms of sensual service, but if it's not and severely different, it'd be great to know!

I get a few days to piggyback a trip to any other location and the LB is looking to explore.

Girls are ultimately cheaper in Jakarta than the cities you mentioned (assuming you stick to places like Classic), but there's more variety and alternative entertainment options in those other cities especially Bangkok. Plus if Bangkok is not working out jump on a $4 bus to Pattaya.

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