Any ideas?

g'day mate,

sorta depends on yer preferences.

similar to BATS - is Tiga Pulah and CJ's.

prefer house/dance music etc (without necessarily finding loads of P4P gals, tho its hard not to)

try Public, X2, embassy, vertigo,

actually i do recommend Red Square (ask taxi for Athenia Plaza next to Seneyan City Plaza)

have ya been to BLok M - suits some. i enjoy the place sometimes, good for a late night wander.

if u prefer hard core music - cant go past stadium in kota!

I've not been to Jakarta yet, and i'm curious to know how you rate the nightlife there compared to Bangkok?

[kingwilly]

^ umm, since i'm in Jakarta also i guess i can answer this.

took me a little while to get used to it. but now it has really grown on me, quite like it and do prefer it.

but,

it is more expensive.

there is no go-go bars

very few beer bars

more spread out

there is more variety in discos and clubs (with and without freelancers)

[kingwilly]

OI!

dont forget indo's have bigger (natural) tits than thai girls (in general)

and there is no such thing as the bar fine system, so usually u can just take them when ever you want, but if u fall fer a girl that actually works there, you'll more than likely need to wait until she finishes work around 2 or 3ish.

Oh and no closing times either, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how early u start work!

nice to post the info KW/mrT, but does it really take two of you, or are you just doing it to wind me up?

Jaysus mayte, are you trying to kill all my credibility? once me missus browses this place and reads all the crap about tits and bargals and whores and stuff that KW talks about getting up to, if she thinks that i'm the same fella,


*shiver runs down his spine*


I dont even wanna think about it!

[Marmite the Dog]

KW - Do they have English re-writers in Jakarta? If so, can you get one. Ta.

[kingwilly]

I just warned a member not to expect too much of blok m - its a nice place and all, can have a quiet drink, after midnight a couple of the bars get busy, always plenty of gals if u want, but soi cowboy in aint.

try exactly 7 bars plus one disco.

here's a pic of the street



here's one of an inside shot, a few gals, a pool table or two plus a band.



BTW - most taxi's will not really understand what u want when ya ask for Blok m (since it is a large area, district)

tell them blok m, and then jalan falatehan

i suppose u pronouce it like "juuluun faal'ai tai'hun"

Is the Tambora still going?
There was also a pub opposite the Hilton, or, Sheraton?

or dont mean the Tanamur do you ?

TANAMUR Jl. Tanah Abang Timur, No.14, Central Jakarta The great grand-lady of Jakarta discotheques that's been continually reinventing herself since 1970. Recent indications are that the lady has finally been tamed but she still occasionally fires on weekends with wicked catwalk-prancing dancers, a great male to female ratio - and a great male to male ratio for the more cheerfully inclined.

havent been there meself....

BATS is famous for being a high-priced skanky hoe pick up joint, prolly suit a few of us right to the ground!

(tho its not the only place like this around town)

CJ's at hotel mulia and Tigah Pulah at Hotel Meridien are also full of freelancers. (but watch out for the price of drinks, minimum 200baht for a beer or mixer....

[Blake7]

where do the best looking hookers hang out Kingwilly?

[Sir Burr]

No, not the Tanamur. That's a disco.
The Tambora ia a large, sleazy pick-up place. You should check it out. Most Taxi drivers know it.

her name is Divina - big indo celeb....

you'll turn up to the bars and find these....and think, not too bad



but by the end of the night you'll be more likely to end up with ....

[slimboyfat]

nice try though KW

better wait for the whore master to give us his expert opinion.

The 5* hotel bars. You just have to be selective. It is a buyers market and prices similar to Soi Cowboy.

Try Glodok area if you want some teenage hardbody at a bargain price.

Forget Blok M.
