Jakarta

[QUOTE=OffshoreSwell;2071745]The concept of deposit seems pretty widespread in Jakarta if you are sourcing ladies on twitter or even facebook. Has anybody got any success stories using this system? Or failure stories?. Certainly facebook seems to have a few sad sack posts of those who have paid DP and got nothing but the #jakartaangels or #bisyarjakarta, #bispakjakarta seem to be predominantly deposit girls. There must be some order to the system.

OS doesn't like deposits but I can see the girls logic as getting jerked around with no shows and dodgy Indo boys would get you down I am sure.[/QUOTE]I too am curious about this. Are there any DP success stories out there? That's deposit, not double pen.

[QUOTE=LAGuy5;2072515]There is not much right around the Kempinski. But you have a straight shot up Thamrin (which changes its name to Jalan Hayam Wuruk as you proceed north) to Malioboro / Malio Club and Illigals, the former being the more popular. Depending on time of day and traffic the trip would take somewhere between 15 minutes and 45 minutes by taxi. Alexis is further north than Malioboro or Illigals, and only worth the added trip if you want to visit the most expensive brothel (at least among those easily accessible to the general public) in Jakarta; actually there may be one or two others owned by the same group that are equally expensive although I'm not sure about this.

My recommendation would be to first try Malioboro and perhaps Malio Club immediately next door (further in the complex), and if that doesn't work for you (or you have extra time) Illigals (which is rather close to Malioboro) and / or Alexis.[/QUOTE]Immigrant is quite close by, walking distance, if you must.

Or head southwards to visit BATS at Shangri La or CJ's at Mulia or X2 at Plaza Senayan. I think Red Square is also near Plaza Senayan, if it has reopened?

[QUOTE=Anilm84;2072191]Hi folks,

I will be dropping in to Jakarta for a couple of days from Singapore on a work trip.

Am staying at the Kempinski, assuming they don't have any bar from where one can pick up women. Are there any bars or massage places in the adjoining mall?

My friend from Singapore have asked me to try out Illegals and Alexis. Hope they are close to the area where I am staying.

Grateful if I can get any more recommendations for places close by. Would prefer a spa / massage / fishbowl type placed as opposed to pick up bars as I don't want to risk taking any women to my hotel (colleagues staying at the same place).

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks in advance.

Should take less than 20 minutes. But instead, like a typical "manager" you choose to simply come here and ask questions. See'Mon. Mate. RTFF.

Hell, in the Medellin forum, I actually saw a post that read "I'm too lazy to read the forum, so who / what / when / where / how blah blah blah." Makes me wonder sometimes why I write the types of reports that I do on ISG.

Speaking of reports, thanks to all of you who have written reports and contributed pictures here in the Jakarta forum. Because of your reports and pictures, you've put Jakarta higher up on my travel radar. It might be a year before I can get there, but I definitely want to get there just the same.

But sure, there are pickup places, including those with a lot of working girls, closer to the Kempinski than the spas and on-site venues I mentioned.

[QUOTE=KoperenKlaas;2071891]If they have separate booths or if your payment affords you solo entrance to the VIP room they have destroyed one of the main attractions of the room.
It was exactly the seediness of the affair, with 2 or 3 people getting a blowjob or fucking one of the dancers in fairly full view of the other visitors, that was the unique "selling" point. This is self-destruction of an excellent business model.[/QUOTE]So they will lose customers and money.

Hello all,

I am silent reader of ISG and never travelled to Indonesia, but company has conference in Bali in November and after reading post and advice I found that Indonesia has got good mongering option and I seek some guidance as its new territory.

I have subscribed to Badoo and use fake GPS app and post myself I am near Block M in Jakarta and I have managed to get many girls saying Hi and ready to ML (make love), few of them openely asked me how much I can pay, I just said IDR 500 K for short time and there is a reluctant and one 40 years girls was ready to spend whole night for IDR 800 K. So I can say Badoo is a good start.

-So my question is I have 4 (Sat to Tuesday) days to spare between Jakarta and Bali and then 3 days conference in Bali, so guys what do you suggest which is a mongering destination where you get decent girls for the price.

- What amount should I offer and that should be reasonable amount for ST and LT for whole night as I don't want to spoil the market.

- If I have stay in Jakarta what hotel or location should I choose in price range of $70 to $100 per night;.

- Is Badoo is good enough or should I also look out for free lancer or in clubs or any other contact app you think is better option.

- I know Nov is too far off time, so by what period should I contact girls and start firming up price and appointment;.

- I don't want to monger in Bali since there will be more then 30 of our company people will be around and I don't have to get caught so want to keep low profile in bali but if the option is very good in Bali then I can take some risk.

- I have read Villa + 12 hours escort package for you $ 250 balivilla is this a value for the money, as they need minimum 3 days booking.

I have done research as much as possible but now I am confused and hence I need your help / guidance what ever possible.

By the way I am visiting from Australia.

Thanks you all in advance.

Dear members of the Jakarta forum,

Thanks for the tips and suggestions in response to my earlier post.

I would also like to clarify a few things:

- Apologies if anyone felt I was being lazy. I spend a good amount of time reading the respective forums before visiting a city. I had read about places like Alexis, Maliboro, Kings Cross, Sumo etc and was planning to try out a few, my main concern was the location and it's proximity and also wanting to find out if there is any other place closer which I hadn't heard of. Sorry if I didn't frame my question properly.

- I have always contributed with FRs in every city I have visited to date (Ahmedabad, Singapore, Dubai, Bangkok) and will definitely do the same here after my visit next week.

I always value the guidance and tips received from the ISG family and want to reassure anyone here who thinks that I am a freeloader that I am not!

Once again thanks for the guidance and apologies if I came across as lazy.

Do let me know if any of you are ever visiting Singapore or Dubai, will try to offer advice from my limited experience in those places.

Last year I had 3 free days in Bali and did great with Badoo and also Tagged.

November will be here before you know it and if you start to get a feel for the girls you can score some pretty good freebies thru both of these sites.

Obviously being on a conference you will be staying at the same hotel as your colleagues so why don't you find a cheap hotel or even 3 (just in case the girls get clingy) the other side of the area you are staying at just for your tryst? For example if your conference is at Jimbaran get a room at Seminyak.

Be careful of the Balivilla offer, I haven't used it but I have read somewhere it is a bit of a ripoff.

The nightlife area in Bali is spread out so you should be able to dodge your workmates and you should listen to where they are going and go to a different area.

Try backpage Bali for escorts if you want to be discreet.

If you take a FL make sure your Hotel has good security and collects their ID.

I hope this helps a fellow Aussie.

Rob.

Do let me know if any of you are ever visiting Singapore or Dubai, will try to offer advice from my limited experience in those places.[/QUOTE]Absolutely. When the brouhaha started I spent around four or five minutes checking out your previous posts and saw you have contributed numerous useful field reports. It is both funny and sad that those who were quick to accuse you of laziness were too lazy themselves to spend the few minutes necessary to do the same before hurling invectives at you. And posting an answer to the question what recommended places are near a particular hotel takes about the same amount of time as writing a post insulting someone for asking the question. And then when someone later attempts to RTFF, they will see actual information rather than have to wade around a bunch of gratuitous comments that contain no useful information and make it tedious to RTTF.

[QUOTE=Menteng;2071728]Bring a little cash and use the ATM's instead. I'm sure other members can tell you which ATMs can give more than 3 million Rp if you need large amounts.[/QUOTE]Danamon is one of my favourites. Max. 3 million per withdrawal but you can do more than one withdrawal at a time. Don't know how many times you can repeat per day.

BCA also works fine for me (2 million per withdrawal), but HSBC always refused my card.

[QUOTE=KoperenKlaas;2073491] Don't know how many times you can repeat per day.[/QUOTE]As many as you like until you reach your home bank's daily limit. Typically $1000.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2065802]I went to the pharmacy yesterday and they tell me there is a new law that a prescription is needed for any antibiotics now. Who has the time to go to the doctor to get a prescription? Does anyone know a place still selling over the counter antibiotics?[/QUOTE]There are a few pharmacies ("apoteks") in Agus Salim.

It is the street that runs behind the Djakarta Theatre building, close to Sarinah.

Though I did hear a voice back in the shop say something about a "resep", they sold me without a prescription nevertheless.
