Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $112/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.
