If the hotel has a true spa you walk into, go to the spa lobby, sit and relax with a tea or refreshment, and there's a front counter, with glass case displays, etc, then you're not going to get any special he there. It's strictly massage (and a wonderful massage at that) with foot bath and salt rub, jasmine oil, etc.
If the hotel has 2 or 3 converted rooms that are makeshift massage areas, no counter, no lobby, etc. , then the massage therapists are consultants from the outside world, and there's an array of services that can be had depending on your masseuse. But be warned that the price will shock you and it's seldom worth it. To give you an idea, they'll hit you for 600 k for a HJ tip. FS will easily go well into 1. 5 M and higher and they'll want you to not take too long. Also the ladies are seldom attractive.

What the f**k are you heading to Kota Kasablanca for from Monas? Shit bud, just go to Grand Indo or Plaza Indo in Thamrin.
As for traffic, after several visits, it's amazing how you learn to stay at the perfect hotel to avoid traffic. If you're trying to head north around 6 PM, I would recommend that you NOT stay on the east side of the street. Otherwise, you head into a bluebird, and you're southbound until the driver can make a you-turn. And in parts of jaksel, that could be a fucking 45 minute drive to the next you-turn! Be on the west side of the street, and it could easily save you 30 to 60 minutes of traffic. Grab GoJek motorcycle / scooter saves a ton of time also.

CJ was incredible. Found me some college CUTIES but stupidly they were afraid to go back to my place unless I booked multiple girls at once. 2 M + 2 M for LT. I've never had a LT stay past 5 AM. They usually ask for ride money and get out before traffic starts. So I said no, and no, and no, until I met a pretty one and invited her back for 1 M LT. Found out in the room with the lights on why she accepted 1 M. MILF and not skinny. She looked young and hot in the club.
Lesson is that CJ has cuter girls and likely will get your better mileage than BATS. But make sure you had your eyes checked and can see in club level lighting. Cuties are plentiful at CJ's.
This info is from 2019. If anyone has any updates from this report to reflect, I'd love to hear how the places are now.

Posts: 210Is it still a dark den? I used to spend a week every month in the Mulia, but got fed up with CJ's favoring BAT's. However, was in BAT's a few months ago and the selection was pretty slim, and well towards ladies in their 30's or older. Had one drink and left. You've got me interested in CJ's again.

I think any VPN will get you access. Always works for me.

Posts: 342Foreign Phone+Local SIM will NOT work unless register IMEI
No, generally you will NOT be able to use a local SIM with your foreign phone unless you register.
However, this depends on the age of the phone. I have never registered any phone and my old iPhone X continues to work with my local Telkomsel SIM, but my iPhone 13 will not. Both phones have the latest iOS updates, so I think it's a hardware difference. My iPhone 6 also works w / o registration. This situation is fine for me as I can hotspot of my IP X to my IP 13 or my iPad, and the data is cheap.
I think you really need mobile data so you can use Grab, WhatsApp, Google Translate, Maps, etc when you are on the road. So either you have a cheap international roaming plan (an American friend says the US company T-Mobile offers 5 GB free data roaming in most ASEAN countries) or you have to buy a local SIM and figure out a phone that can use it. You could of course buy a cheap second-hand phone in Jakarta and hotspot off that. All new or second-hand phones sold in Indonesia should be automatically registered.
If you wish, you can easily and cheaply register the IMEI of your overseas phone at the airport. There are many signs as you pass baggage claim and turn right to exit customs. I don't know what that does and whether you are giving the local law enforcement authorities a simple way to connect your intercepted SMS or e-mails with your passport identity. I have avoided registering for that reason.
Personally, I would just bring an old iPhone X or older and use it for hotspoting. My last choice would be to not have mobile data.
Background: the government started requiring all phones used in Indonesia to register the IMEI data. This is supposedly to reduce the inflow of untaxed "black" foreign phones, but I think the measure also designed is to have better visibility over people's private communications. Hong Kong and other authoritarian regimes do the same. I don't want to be on their radar, if possible.

I have never been here. Is the Room/bedsheet clean? Or should I BYOS (Bring Your Own Sheet)?!! What is the price to take the lady to the Room?
Blue Tuk Tuk
When the driver holds up five fingers (50,000 IDR), I respond by showing three fingers (30,000 IDR). The driver *expects* you to negotiate, so they quote a higher fare.
The driver who you tipped 270,000 IDR, will remember you for the rest of his life.

Posts: 37CJs Bar in Hotel Mulia
As far as Jakarta hotels go, I can say from first-hand experience that Hotel Mulia (club CJs) is like John Shaft. It is a bad mutha.
Marble floors and 5 stars for sure. However, CJs, the local bar is what this post is about.
Closed on Sundays and Mondays, CJs has live entertainment. I was there in September and there is a cover band there from Canada that rocks the house Tues. Saturdays.
I was a guest there and they did check my room key upon entering the club. So I'm not sure what the cover charge is for those not staying at the hotel. CJs is on the second floor. There is a public parking garage for those visiting from outside and it will allow you to enter on the 2nd floor.
What I can tell you is there is a fine selection of beautiful Indonesia ladies (and sometimes a European or two) there. The ratio of women-to-men is in our favor guys. Hands down! I think the ratio was 5-1 both nights I was there. The first night I walked in I was malled by two ladies within seconds. I've been at this P4P game for a while so I knew to quickly excuse myself from their presence and walk around and survey the lay of the land. The competition is very stiff for them. CJs is absolutely impressive.
CJs stays open until 3 or 4 am. I arrived the first night around 10 pm to a packed house. The music and atmosphere are great. Do expect to pay 120 k IDR for a beer and 200 k for a mixed drink. The first night there I chose a lady for 1. 5 million for all night. The next night I wanted 3 so I just offered them 500 k to 1 million for the hour, went upstairs, then came back down. Next! Indonesian women can be extremely jealous so part of the 1 million deal is don't walk up to me when you see me back down here talking with another chica. Our deal is done.

Posts: 10Great report
Thanks for the detailed report. To access ISG from Indonesia you could try the DuckDuckGo browser. It worked for me on a trip 10 months ago.
