Jakarta

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2140731]I will be in Jakarta later this week. Here is a list of places I plan on visiting. Let me know if I am missing a must see bar or spa. My question is which places are better earlier and which later?

Malioboro.
Classic.
Illigals.
Hotel Travel.
BATS.
CJ.

Also, it is easy to buy a SIM card and get some Rupiah at the airport? How much is taxi from the airport to my hotel near Malioboro?[/QUOTE]Many of these places above do not generally open until later in the afternoon or evening. You can try Malioboro and Illigals for the massages and relaxation in the afternoon, but things would usually pick up only at night. Be prepared to have small change as the workers there are aggressive in asking for tips. Never been to BATS or Hotel Travel, so cannot provide feedback on those. Classic is pretty much a meat market, and the mommy-san can be pushy there. I never like that place much, but it's cheap. CJ will not open until 9 or 10 PM, but if you have the budget, that is the better place to visit. It is my preferred choice. Go there on Ladies night on Tuesday where the place will be packed with freelancers. Have fun!

Pretty much nothing at all in Jakarta starts early. If you aren't working, I would recommend not even waking up until noon. The earliest would be perhaps Hotel Classic or Hotel Travel at around 2 pm, but the selection of girls will be limited at that time. Malioboro will get going at around 3 or 4pm but all of the girls will not be there yet. Most places don't have all of their girls until 7 pm. Places like BATS and CJs don't get started until after 10 pm or even 11 pm. Ladies night at CJs is Wednesday night. Although no place starts early, there are plenty that are open late. You can stay at some places like My Bar, Colosseum, X2, Golden Crown, etc until 5am.

I would add to Smoothy's advice. I usually get SIMPati with a data plan because it has better coverage and I can tether is Wifi is worse than mobile data. But it will not matter since you are in Jakarta. Some other SIMs come with a small amount of data.

I also notice some ATMs spit out different denomination bills. Have small bills to pay exact amounts. Money exchange / hotel can break for you.

There is a VIP arrival service with or without transport. Looks like you have a full schedule! LOL

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2140769]You can easily pick up a SIM card at the airport, but it will be much more expensive than if you pick it up anywhere other than the airport. I think at the airport they want 200k, and anywhere else it's 30k. Once you arrive at your hotel, they can tell you where to get one if you aren't in a rush to get one at the airport.

Rupiah, there are plenty of ATMs at the airport. You can see them as soon as you pass the passport check. If you want to exchange dollars, you can easily do that at the airport, but will get a worse rate than other places around town.

Your list is enough to keep you busy. I don't have any special recommendation other than those that are "must sees". Personally, I would throw Hotel Travel to the curb and replace it with King Cross in Kelapa Gading, but Hotel Travel is ok.[/QUOTE].

Got my day wrong, I was probably too drunk to recall the day then, LOL.

Thanks, Smoothy. What is there to do during the day then? Go to mall? I've been to the monument and museum. QUOTE=Smoothy;2140805 Pretty much nothing at all in Jakarta starts early.

Things to do during the day:

Massages, there are many smaller places opening from 11/12 noon, mostly in West and North Jakarta, Delta and My Place have several branches around the city. You can go a bit "off the beaten path" (For this forum at least) an try massage places like Orchardz, be-Fashion, FM1 etc for massage +++ in the afternoon. There's a blowjob shop up in PIK that used to do a buy 1 get 2 special, unfortunately these days they've stopped that but you do get a 20 k discount so it comes to 150 k for a BBBJ, no tips required.

There are so many massage shops around that focus on guys, best way to find them is in the "Nightlife & Events" section of the Kaskus forum (Moderate to advanced level of Indonesian skills required to follow any kind of conversation, but the opening posts with prices etc can usually be understood by a quick google translate) where they put on their prices, promotions, girls available each day with sometimes a link to an IG account with pics of those girls. They're obviously photoshopped most of the time but they don't make them very extreme. I'm currently training a girl from one of the smaller massage shops in doing a proper b2 b massage. She already gives a very proper massage and she's getting the hang of the b2 b part now as well.

Alternatively you call girls whose numbers you got from the previous night at CJ's or so, or roll the dice with WeChat / Twitter.

Have you tried the new museum of modern & contemporary arts nusantara? (MACAN) It's quite good. Movies in Jakarta are very good money, I love to go to "Premier Class", where you get luxury seats and waiter service for around 100k a movie (depending on the movie). Unfortunately Premier usually does not have dolby atmos so you need to go to the regular cinema's for that, which costs 50-75k, Atmos is usually only in the first screening room, bigger cinema's also in the second. (Cinema 1, 2, 3 etc).

If you find a girl you like you can take her on a daytrip to the 1000 islands (Pulau Seribu) from North Jakarta, but it depends on the season, don't do it now.

If you're active there's a good climbing wall down in Alam Sutera/Serpong, a google search of peak to peak jakarta should get you the information you need.

Hi,

I am thinking of visiting Jakarta for a weekend, and having read the forum, I just wanted to share my thoughts, and if anyone could help it be great.

This is going to be a very rare visit, so I want to make it worth it (as they say) so far, my understanding is.

Malioboro is a spa with girls in the spa (that you can take out or there is a private room).

Malio Club is a strip club very near by, and while you can have sex with the girls there, there is no option for takeout (unless you agree something outside).

King Cross. Strip club and brothal.

Since I plan to be in town for a short time, I rather go for quality as I like them slim. Might also do a pickup in a club. (like Tiga Puluh or CJ).

One question, I keep on hearing that Kota in Jakarta have very nice places? Any suggestions. Thinking of staying at Aryaduta Jakarta.

Thinking of staying at Aryaduta Jakarta.[/QUOTE]Malioboro does have a spa, but there are no girls in the spa area. The girls are seated in a big room one floor above the spa where you select one and take her to a short time room upstairs. There are also dancers on a stage in that same room where the girls are seated (dancers used to be nude, but now all wear bikinis due to recent government restrictions). Malio club is in the same building as Malioboro, you just walk to the back side. It has girls seated to the right who are the same as the girls seated in the front area in that big room. You can take them upstairs for an hour in a room there. Malio club has more dancers than the front area with the big room of girls has, but again, they are wearing bikinis now. You can take the dancers as well, but they are more expensive than the seated girls. Local girls will range from 800 k to 1. 8 million depending on the girl. Imports from China, Uzbek, etc are over 2 million. You cannot take any girls out of Malioboro or Malio (you could, but it would be ridiculously expensive), you only take them upstairs in a room there for an hour.

King Cross is basically the same as Malioboro. It has a big room that has girls seated that you can select and dancers wearing bikinis. There is also karoake at King Cross if you like. King Cross is cheaper than Malioboro. I think the girls are between 700 k and 1 million now.

Forget Tigah Puluh, it died 10 years ago. CJs in Hotel Mulia and BATS in hotel Shangri-La are still good fee lance pickup spots though.

Aryaduta is fine. Older hotel, but nothing wrong with it. I think Harris Vertu is better though since it's brand new and in a better location.

I'm not sure what places you are thinking about when you say "Kota". Kota is the Indonesian word for city and is just a reference to the North Jakarta area. Malioboro is in Kota. There are tons of places in Kota. Malioboro, Hotel Classic, etc. King Cross is in the Kelapa Gading area which also has many good places.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2141102]......

[QUOTE=Turgid;2141134]You can request to have the girl visit you during her day off where a better fee could be negotiated.[/QUOTE]Yes, you can try that, but I wouldn't count on her showing up. It's a great plan for those of us living in Jakarta who don't care if we lose a day by the girl not showing. If I were only in town a few days, I doubt I would rely on that strategy. If you do get a girl to show up at your place once, you can normally rely on her showing after that. But I've found that first time is elusive.

I sessioned her on site and we agreed to meet at a mall close to my hotel on her day off. She turned up, bought some stuff and I bought her lunch after which we went to my hotel. If she had not turned up I would have had lunch anyway and sessioned somewhere later. Planning is key.

I am going to KL next month, and have connected online with a number of OFW girls from different SEA nations. One in particular is eager to meet me as soon as I arrive. While I feel pretty confident she will show up, she isn't sure if she if wants to spend the night with me in my hotel. But, if she doesn't, I will still be within short walking distance of three or four different brothels and massage parlors I am interested in visiting anyways. It will hard for me NOT to get laid, regardless of her decision.

Alexis is pretty much where North Jakarta starts, and if looking on a map is pretty much in the middle of that district, from Pantai Indah Kapuk in the west till Tanjung Priuk in the east.

Nitpickmode / off.

[/QUOTE]Premier is a great option for a fun lunchtime date. Book an early screening, say about 12 pm, who the hell goes to the cinema at that time? It will be virtually empty. Book two seats in a corner in the back row and enjoy fun under the blankets. I have a fond if somewhat bizarre memory of watching "Benjamin Button" and trying to make sense of what the hell was going on in the movie as I was continually distracted by a delightful young lady in a jilbab I had picked up and who was stretched over my seat giving me a blowjob while I had my fingers up her skirt and sticking in alternate orifices.

Heavens, that was fun, and you can order beer too.

Still can't for the life of me work out what that movie was about mind you.
