just curious: what is the tip that you give? as i understand it, a tip is given by the client based on his satisfaction with the service based on his inclination and the amount is decided on the level of satisfaction or by convention when the service is extra i.e. beyond the service paid for by the fee. i ask this because in my experience this has always been something that one has had to negotiate after the masseuse/ therapist has indicated her 'willingness' for the special service and i have always had figures starting from 400k quoted to me and have managed, at best, to bring it down to 150k.

of course, this service is included in the delta fortuna massage and one doesn't have to pay extra....

on a related note, i wonder why one should pay 640k for a happy ending even when the massage is for 2 hours when one can get a one-hour long happier ending for 400k at most places including the maribaya. as a result i have rarely ever gone back to these massage parlours as i don't think this service connotes value for money. but i guess, each to his own.

i've usually paid a 100,000 rupiah tip at the fortune spa, on top of the house fee of 280,000 rupiah for a 90 minute session. yes that may sound a bit high but part of it is a tip for the good massage and part for the hj and other fun (the girls usually strip down and let me play with their tits, sometimes a quick bbbj not to completion, twice some daty).

re: your comment about the difference between 640k for two hours and 400k at most places, the answer is simple: the time involved, regardless of what was or was not done during the time! if there's an hourly rate, then having a girl stay with you an extra hour means that she is not available to massage a different customer during that second hour, so a larger house fee is charged and a bigger tip is expected.

also, one probably cannot compare maribaya with a spa that provides a legitimate massage as well as extras, such as delta/fortune etc. i love maribaya but let's be honest, it's a bar/brothel, not a true massage spa :d

Having spent a few weeks at Mulia and having gained a lot of information on ISG, its time for me to contribute, so here it goes. The Newbie's guide to CJ's

A wonderful report and guide to CJs. Although I've mongered JKT about 20 times this reported prompted me to give CJs a shot.

I arrived at CJs about 11PM on a Monday night. Not staying at the Mulia, I figured I'd have to pay a cover charge but instead I had to prepay for a drink before entering. Unfortunately the prepay for a gin & tonic was 165K Rp! That's a night of drinking at Blok M for me.

Following SK's guide, I went to the divider wall between where hotel guests and visitors can go. The SOP attack began with the older pros taking their turns first. I guessed there was maybe 40 gals in the place, a few were stunners but the overall quality was just a tad better then my usual Blok M haunt. They were of course far better dressed and the English speaking ability was good. Regardless, like Blok M, the majority of the gals were child bearers and my favorite, petites, were not common. I did approach a few of the sharper looking gals and the starting quote was a 1,000K Rp. I countered with a request for ST quote and they of course said they were talking about ST. For that price I'd expect them to wash my car and paint my house. I'm sure these gals would go with me for half or less but it just wasn't worth the effort.

That being said the hotel and bar is spectacular. It was the best JKT bar I've experienced for breathing oxygen vs nicotine. The lighting was good, I could see the gals clearly. The band was outstanding. The gals were fun to chat with. Overall a fun and entertaining experience but this Cheap Charlie prefers the haunts of the Blok and Lokasari.

Sometime I hope to be of the means to frequent the Mulia and CJs but for now I'm sticking with my less expensive haunts. I left CJs about 12:30 and headed over to Blok M. It was my lucky night as I found a stunning fresh gal who provided outstanding service for 300K. Not the norm for Blok M but there's always a few drift bys.

Anyway, a highly accurate and outstanding report SK. Thank you!

Guys, thanks for all the wonderful tips on massage. I was optimistic that I'd have time for one but work, drinking and non-legit massage consumed my time. I did squeeze in a massage from the Hotel Ambhara in-house. 155K Rp one hour body/oil. Was a decent but expensive. The masseuse was eager to provide happy ending but she was 40+ and didn't warrant. I hope to try all these wonderful tips on the next go around.

Thanx - Waffles

Hi Guys,

By the photos of the Jakarat girls. they are not 3 times better then the bali girls.The prices you are talk for Indo girls sound alot. Please put my mind to rest and why go to Jakarata and not to thailand for the best?

Bali prices

Rp50000 to 100000 for a good massage
Rp15000 to 500000 for a good root

Thanks guys will still come for my first trip to Jakarata in 2009

try fortune spa, across the street (on the south side) from the le meridien hotel, 280,000 rupiah for a decent legit massage, plus a tip for a happy ending.

of course, this service is included in the delta fortuna massage and one doesn't have to pay extra. i recall paying around 450k for what might have been 2 sessions and getting jerked off at the end. but while the room had a bathtub inside, it wasn't fully enclosed but partitioned and had a curtain instead of a door with the usual 'dilarang membuat asusila' admonition. i certainly didn't pay 640k that john aldrych reports.

on a related note, i wonder why one should pay 640k for a happy ending even when the massage is for 2 hours when one can get a one-hour long happier ending for 400k at most places including the maribaya. as a result i have rarely ever gone back to these massage parlours as i don't think this service connotes value for money. but i guess, each to his own.

For anyone looking for a class A straight up massage in comfort of your hotel room, I think I posted the number here a couple of years ago,
Edit: luckily I never empty my mailbox. This used to be the number from within JKT:
02170717070

I can vouch for this - had it a few times over the past few years.

Technically, these places are in South Jakarta

Right.

Sudiman/Kuningan (a.k.a Central Business District), Senayan, Kebaroyan (Block M), Kemang, Cilandak, Pondok Indah, ect, are officially all part of South Jakarta.

I was always amazed at how large the area of "Jakarta Selatan" is.

Guys can anyone recommend a legit (or Happy Ending legit) massage joint in the South Jarkata/Blok M area. I've come up with zero. Thanks,

Try Fortune Spa, across the street (on the south side) from the Le Meridien Hotel, 280,000 rupiah for a decent legit massage, plus a tip for a happy ending.

You could also try Jaspa Spa, located in Mal Ambassador in Kuningan; I've written a few posts on this place but have not visited it in over 6 months. Used to be a massage+HJ place but a couple of recent posts seem to indicate that they are no longer giving HJs, just a legit massage for 135,000 rupiah. Ask for Poppy, best masseuse in the place, or for Tuty

Technically, these places are in South Jakarta!

Not far from the Pertamina hospital at jalan Kyai Maja is a market/shopping center(?) called Majestic/Mayestik. If my memory serves me right, there are 4 or 5 massage joints within the compound. Central/Sentral is the only one I know of, that is more or less a bordello. At the other places, extra's have to be negociated.

The elevators are easily accessible from CJ's and hence the "walk of shame" involves crossing just 1 security guard.

You have to stand in front of the business center too, which is open late. That blew my chances with a really hot receptionist that worked there, when her co-worker told her what I was up to.

For anyone looking for a class A straight up massage in comfort of your hotel room, I think I posted the number here a couple of years ago, and if not, I did give it to a couple of guys here (Jamito?). I'd post it here, but it went away along with my old cell phone. You call and book the girl, and they magically appear at the hotel in 30 minutes - even in rush hour traffic, which is amazing.
Rates used to be 80k rupes for 2 hours. I would give them an extra 40k tip. They were never anything to look at, but my intent was a real massage, so I never inquired about extras. The happy ending would occur later on after a little hunting on Blok M.

the short reply would be rtff but since you are a newbie try the odiseus chain in hotel nikko, sahid or aryaduta. you'll get a legit massage with hints conveyed through 'accidental' touches that other things are available on request and the rate is for you to negotiate. but since these are strictly speaking in central jakarta, you could try the delta fortuna group spas. there is one on gatot subroto in kunningan and another at the grand wijaya center. in this chain the happy ending is given by the therapist as a part of the package and you don't have to pay over the price of the massage which is around 400-500k, if my memory serves me right.

have a happy time.

i was at delta, gatot subroto this evening and had the complete package, which includes happy ending and is known as full body massage. the happy ending comes with a three session package, which is about 2 hours and 15 minutes. i always take the private suite, and it costs rp. 670k. the facility in the suite is that you don't have to go out to the public area for a shower. the girl herself would give you the shower after the happy ending. i always felt, its worth it and that's why keep going there atleast once a month.

but in case you opt for a one or two session massage, then you will not get the happy ending.

cheers

Yes! Go to Roger's Salon (Jl Gunawarman no 59). Short taxi ride from Blok M. Kana has been working her magic there for years, and the other girls are good too. Also shiatsu. Totally legit, this is a hairdresser/beauty salon. Definitely no extras or happy endings. There's another branch not far away at Jl Walter Monginsidi, and yet another at Jl Senopati but I haven't tried them.
