Jakarta is a differnt ballgame. It is more upscale & the entertainment industry caters to mainly local indo businessmen & working professionals entertaining themselves or their clients. A very small portion of their customers are tourists. (Wo)manpower in jakarta is also more costly than Riau islands. A girl in Travel, Classic, Emporium, Malio, Alexis or King Cross can earn much more for the establishment with 9 to 10 stints in a night. Why would they let one customer take the girl out for the whole day ? And if they did, the price would be very ridiculously high. KTV(V2, Fashion, MStar etc), Massage Parlours(FM1, Orchardz, Sumo etc.) and Straight bonk (Classic, Travel, King Cross) places hence rule all of Jakarta.

I suppose the closest place for overnight would be Bogor or Surabaya. I'm told Arab tourists land at Jakarta & completely bypass it. They go to Bogor & book a villa. Then they go hunting for a cewek for overnight and buy lots of alcohol. Next day, find a new one

Thanks for the compiled info brur. Great effort done based on ur experience. I'm travelling solo hence i wanted overnight. Maybe i'll "hop" over to the other riau islands to try my luck. Thanks again!
