finally, i would like to recall that as far as i know, tropical is the only place in town to my knowledge (but if anyone knows another place then please let us know here) where for a reasonable flat fee (350 krups) you get an fl for 45 minutes plus a 1.5 hour massage with a therapist where ... things can happen as well hehehehe ...

and do not forget the tip, minimal 100,000 rupiahs (divided into fl and therapist).

[Oyenk]

let me introduce myself, my name is adrian or ah-guan, i am one of the tropical spa shareholder and i am the one who running the business.

i was introduced to this forum by a brother that saying there are some complaint about my staff, and it was so bad until some bro gave some recomendation to avoid tropical spa.

about the rumour my fl black mailing her customer is not true, the story was made by a lunatic customer that his love was rejected by the freelancer.

from now on let me handle all the complaint and answer all the question from all bros here about tropical spa.

thank you.

actually i wanted to post it long time ago in local forum but it (the forum) is financially supported by your management, so i dare not...
i remember i ever complaint about a therapist's attitude in kimochi spa and suddenly senior moderator reminded me (this happened before i came to tropical spa).

not only me who complaint about your spa i think.

about the rumours, you explained by your own side...

finally i hope you will not entertain isg's senior members here to get good stories about your spa, bad stories are needed too.

welcome here if you're a guan.

Actually I am very pleased to read that a business establishment cares enough about customer service to take the time out to post here, and to let us know that if any ISG member has a complaint, that he should contact management to rectify the situation. Seriously!

Those of us who have spent a lot of time in Jakarta already know that this attitude is quite rare. Adrian's post helps to make up for those places where I've received lousy service (e.g. Krystal Spa in Pang-Jay) and complained to management, only to have them shrug their shoulders and say that they could care less if I come back or not.

your nick sounds phonetically like the hokkien or fukianese word for a women's vagina. is it intentional?

seijaipow: surely, you could do better than that ? tired after a long week ?

bro ah-guan,

i think i have said it several times here before: there was never any problems in tropical where i have been several times and which in fact has become one of my favorite in jakarta.
there was no more good or bad experiences than any other similar places whereby the relationship with the girls can never be predicted for certain anywhere, and varies widely subject to so many factors.
among those factors can be the mood of both people, (the girl could have been pissed off by the previous guy or something else), the time of the day, (they are only human and get tired after 10 hours waiting and or servicing), the attitude and the body language, (whether the guys are nice and gentle or with macho attitude and rough), the existence or lack of attraction, (you can't help it if the girl does not feel any kind of attraction or even worse, if she dislikes the guy completely and rather feels repulsion), the level of the tip history, (the girls talk to each other: that's all they do, so if the guy is known not to tip enough ...), the ability to communicate or not, (a lot of bules or other asians do not speak a word of indo and those girls very rarely speak good english), to name but a very few.
i have had some meorable sessions both with the free lancers and the therapists there. i also have had some not so good sessions, as well as some friends i took there, and i usually let whoever is in charge there know, and they always took into consideration the complaint.
the advantage of tropical is how well you pak ah-guan and your staff know your girls and the pros and cons to have any one of them.
so i would strongly suggest to any bro here to ask you or pak aan, the duty mananger there, before selecting either an fl or a therapist depending on what they really are after, bearing in mind that for new girls it's always a lottery... even more unpredictible ...

finally, i would like to recall that as far as i know, tropical is the only place in town to my knowledge (but if anyone knows another place then please let us know here) where for a reasonable flat fee (350 krups) you get an fl for 45 minutes plus a 1.5 hour massage with a therapist where ... things can happen as well hehehehe ...

hope this would have clarified a bit the situation for tropical. i like the place, obviously, but i still try to be realistic and unbiased.

cheers

I would say: "merry aunt", like in "merry widow"

Well, I never doubt you Menteng ! hehehe...

[Member #4530]

Te Ge or Tante Girang; I think the right translation could be cheerful aunt hehehe...

I headed to My bar. Half full, next stop D’s Place. This was quite full, but once the madam came over I was regretting my life.

How things have changed! There is a house madam now at D's? Or is it one of the regular older women over there, who is too ugly to get a john and tries to make some money by offering services by others.


Bro QiBye, welcome in this forum. I'm sure we will enjoy and learn alot from your contibutions like those in BM. Please say hello to our brother from France, I think he will meet you one of these days.

[Oyenk]

More often that not you don't need to pay. In Jakarta they call them "TGs", pronounced more like "tay gay" which translates to "laughing aunt"! Don't call her that though! If you meet her it sounds like you could be in for a good (free) time - only note of caution: a lot of women a bold on the net but don't follow through. Don't waste too much time waiting...

There may have been a clampdown in Atrium but it was certainly pretty good last time I was there a couple of months ago and definitely no problem with security. I reported at the time that Blok M Plaza was good too, especially the cinema where I had and interesting "experience".

I agree Plaza Semmanggi is pretty good especeially for better quality girls, there are lot of them but harder to get. Ambassador Mall is OK too, I got the number of a very nice girl in a Nokia shop who I never got round to seeing but she sends me text message every week or so. I noticed that there is a stall downstairs which sells viagara (probably fake) with several girls on it: this presents an excellent opportunity for banter which I couldn't do as I was with a girl at the time. Worth a look I think.

[Bulai69]

I was amused by your report. When I am back in UK I often search for girls in Yahoo Messenger myself though most times I never get round to catching up with them when I get to Jakarta. I'm looking for girls somewhat younger than the one you describe but I was amused by your comment as I've chatted with women like this myself. You say " shes slightly over 40 and from her pics, very conservative, a normal mom, working in an office you might say...". It's actually quite common to find "normal mom" type women in Jakarta who are real "goers". As I say it's not a world I dabble in usually but I have picked up women like this in my hotel a few times. More often that not you don't need to pay. In Jakarta they call them "TGs", pronounced more like "tay gay" which translates to "laughing aunt"! Don't call her that though! If you meet her it sounds like you could be in for a good (free) time - only note of caution: a lot of women a bold on the net but don't follow through. Don't waste too much time waiting...
