Bali

As TTG says, Nusa Dua is the last place you want to be if you are looking for some action. Try somewhere like the Puri Santrian (not the Griya Santrian) at the southern end of Sanur. I guess it's about a 4 star hotel with a lot of individual "cottages" so you don't need to walk through the main lobby if you have your key with you. Bear in mind though that SHE can walk out as un-noticed as you both walked in! Lock up everything before you bring anyone home. It's only walking distance from many fishbowls which mostly have rooms attached for ST use anyway. You are likely bringing a 2 star girl back to a 4 star hotel so be careful. Typical ST rates are around 200, 000 Rupiah $20 but I doubt you would get a LT girl for under $100 although I have never tried. Maybe TTG or JustBlue could help on this point. There are certainly some better looking freelancers in Kuta / Legian at places like Crusoes Bar but don't expect to take them back to Sanur for much under 1. 5 million ($150) and there's no hope of getting them ST for $20!

Find Barri's map here, study it and print it out (assuming you are alone!) Start with one or two fishbowls before experimenting further. Don't carry more than you can afford to lose although it's not likely. Leave the smartphone and laptop in the room safe and take out say$100 for the evening. You can pay the girl in the morning if it's LT.

Have a good time and keep us all informed.

Thanks Merrman and Timtimguy,

I really appreciate all the help. I got to rethink my strategy about my next destination perhaps. I actually have the map bookmarked on my computer. I was hoping to stay at the Hilton because I had so many Hhonors points, enough for a bunch of free rooms. I suppose I can save them and use it for Hong Kong or Thailand. With prices going up everywhere, it's very depressing. Perhaps I'll go back to what I know best and hit up Angeles in the Philippines again?

What I loved about Angeles and Thailand was being able to drink and party with the girls beefore we got down to business and a fairly inexpensive price.

Thanks again,

YG

Thanks for the write up. It is also useful for other board member such as myself.

Dear all,

Anybody can respond to me where I can find girls to Bali and where can I do body-massage and other.

Thanks

What was the book about Bali you were reading please?

Surely it was this: http://www.amazon.com/Bali-Raw-exposé-underbelly-Indonesia / dp / 9814358711 / ref=tmm_pap_title_0[/url]

I was recently reading a not very great book about life in Bali by a long-time resident .Maybe in my shoe!

I was recently reading a not very great book about life in Bali by a long-time resident who is obviously more street-savvy than I am. The only thing I learnt of any value from this book was the story of an unfortunate local taxi-driver who accidentally side-swiped a bule on a scooter in the dark. He immediately put the injured man in the back seat and headed for the best hospital only to find that they wouldn't treat him without a credit card that could be charged for medical services.

I will now always carry a cc tucked somewhere safe. Maybe in my shoe!

This is true throughout the third world. No pay, no medical services. Totally different from our privileged lives in our own countries. My GF in the Philippines has a number of small businesses. Her uncle who handles her rural interests in the country (provinces) was severely injured needing an emergency operation. His wife called and my GF had to take the 6 hour taxi ride to hand the cash to the hospital and the doctor and then buy the drugs for the operation. She then had to "supervise" the nurses in recovery as there is a practice of only using part of the (pre-purchased) drugs and reselling to others wanting to purchase similar drugs at cheaper prices.

This, however is totally different to her experience using the private system. She recently had a mole removed and the doctor was trained in the UK and interned in the US. The hospital was brilliant and the after surgery care was far better and incredibly cheaper than I could expect here in Australia. I know this is a thread on Bali but the health systems are similar throughout the third world. If you can pay it is brilliant if you can't you'll probably die.

Hey fellas,

I've tried a search on these forums for mentions of the Hilton in Bali but nothing came up. I'm mainly interested in bars where you could take a girl out for ST or LT and grab drinks with them. Thanks for the help,

Hey fellas,

I've tried a search on these forums for mentions of the Hilton in Bali but nothing came up. I was just curious about the location of the Hilton in terms of decent to great action?

Thanks for the help,

The website says: "The Hilton Bali hotel is located in the heart of Nusa Dua, a secluded luxurious resort area in South Bali." You will be in a mongering desert on a tropical island, YG. Go back thru the posts and you will see lots of advice about getting out of Nusa Dua. If you are visiting for a vacation with friends / family, you are going to have a rough time. You are a long way from any hunting grounds, and while taking a girl back to the Hilton should not be a problem, you will probably have to figure out a way to get her out of the Hilton, because taxis will be expensive and it's about a 30 minute ride to anywhere. You might consider getting a "second home" in Kuta. That's been the standard recommendation, TTG

Hey fellas,

I've mostly mongered in the PI, Thailand and Korea and I'm looking for a new adventure. I've heard a lot of wonderful things about Bali and so I'm thinking about making this my next stop. I've tried a search on these forums for mentions of the Hilton in Bali but nothing came up. I was just curious about the location of the Hilton in terms of decent to great action? I've seen the maps that a few of the mongers have made book marking locations in Bali. I'm mainly interested in bars where you could take a girl out for ST or LT and grab drinks with them.

Thanks for the help,

Hope I could get some advice. I have been to Bali many times with my partner (now my ex) but am now going for the first time by myself and am so looking forward to sampling the locals.

I have booked into J Boutique hotel in Tuban (paid for and non refundable). Can anyone tell me if they are a "girl friendly" hotel. Should I tip someone to allow me to bring girls to the room? What is the general protocol? All advice greatly appreciated.

"I have booked into J Boutique hotel in Tuban (paid for and non refundable)." And now you ask?

Others will possible blast you for not reading the forum, and I tried to send you a PM but you can't receive them. (Have you paid Jackson his dues?)

Anyway, all hotels are girl friend in Bali. You might get a frown if the folks in the room next door are a married couple with 2 kids or something, but the staff will be very ok. If you bring your friend (s) to breakfast, make sure she / they aren't wearing the "I'm a hooker" outfit from the night before.

Your location is possibly a problem. You are going to spend a long time in a taxi to get to the usual hunting grounds, although I think you might be within walking distance of the mini-mart (that's an outdoor bar) accross the street from the Marriott Bintang.

You might want to tip the security guy 20k IDR as you come in with your new friend (s). You'll get a smile and your friends most likely won't get hassled on their way out, although I have always dragged my big behind out of bed to escort my bride for the night to a taxi or motorbike.

And yes, read the * Forum! We look forward to your report (s)! TTG

When I visit Bali next time, I will stay at Bali Senia hotel, Go to Kuta action area around 2:30 am and pay max 1 M. Always try girls from 10X and never visit 11X again. Sometimes I may go 29X to see some fatty fishes, but won't buy. After all, try another places in Barri's map, Bebek Benjil first.

Gajith.

See photo of Intan.

[Shuga]

Rather confused. Bebek Bengil Is a well regarded restaurant specializing in duck. ???

Oh no, one more that is easily confused. Some time ago a guy was confused by street names and now you are confused that a hotel in one city has the same name as a restaurant in another. Well, I will try to make it simple for you:

Duck - Ubud.
Fuck - Kerobokan/Denpasar.

Good luck!

[Non Olet]

Very good analysis Jsomeone, compliments and thanks. Indeed I have seen them all along Jl Legian in Kuta.
