Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Did you use the local sites or find girls at online?

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $106/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

How does it compare to Colombia?
