Selamat Datang Indonesia 🇮🇩

I am fond of collecting postcards but I don’t have any from Indonesia .

Can someone send me one? Thank you :)

Hi guys,

I just came back from JKT and was wondering where all the bule chill nowdays in Jakarta? I visited Lavva, The H Club, Union @ Plaza Senayan, W Superclub Gatsu, Grand Mall, Plaza Indonesia,… but not saw that many bule like years before. Could you please advise?

Hello! I’m currently in Jakarta and planning to buy Martabak as a souvenir for my friends in the Philippines.

Is it okay to bring it home? Will it spoil? Can I just reheat it in the microwave? I really want to take it with me because it’s so delicious!

Also, can you suggest other souvenirs from Jakarta?

Terima kasih!

Hi! New post because our plans somewhat changed a ton since the last time I asked. My partner and I will be in Jakarta from February 13-16, staying in Novotel. I'd love to surprise him with a nice dinner reservation + maybe some flowers. If you have any suggestions on where we can dine to have a simple romantic evening together and/or where I can get him some flowers, that would be awesome.

We're also coming to watch Green Day, if you have any tips as to what a concert in Jakarta is like, that would be cool. I heard that it's rainy season there right now.

Edit: We're generally very open when it comes to food, so anywhere with Indonesian food would be perfect!

Will be in Jakarta for 4 days and would love suggestions on brunch cafes. Something like an Australian cafe vibe. I’ve seen Local Brunch Club and Pison. Are they any good? Any place with really good pancakes would be great. I will be around thamrin so a 40 min train ride is doable.

Also what is everyone’s favourite Italian restaurant? With homemade pasta preferably.

Thank you!

Philadelphian and life long eagles 🦅 fan. Will be in Jakarta for work on 10 Feb and looking for a venue that will be showing the game! All suggestions are appreciated. Go birds!

Hello everyone, Last summer I have visited Jakarta from July 23 to July 27. In that time I visited Taman Fatahillah, including the museum and Cafe Batavia. Anggrek Mall, Monas, and Ancol.

During that time I felt like there was maybe not so much to do or see in this city. I am wondering if there were some things that I missed that could’ve made my visit worth it,or something that would be worth going back to see.

Thanks

Hi everyone. Will be travelling to Jakarta middle of next month and would just like to know how long it may take to get from Terminal 2 CGK airport by car to Lotte Shopping Avenue. I will arriving at 8:15am. Is traffic really bad at this time?

Hi guys I'll be going to jkt sometime in February. Does anybody have any recommendations for shopping & places to eat? Preferably local brands & warungs/street foods. I would love to hear from locals🙏🏼Thank you!

Me a 20 year old male am in Jakarta for 3 days what things are there to do? I like all things and learning about new culture. Any suggestions would be amazing. I am budget travelling so please don’t make the suggestions too expensive. Any local Warungs that are nice to eat as well because I find the food there to be sooo much nicer than more expensive restaurants.

Thank you

Dear Jakarta people

On travel here and have some dental issues, that requires a cracked tooth extraction. Can someone recommend a good dentist/ dental surgeon on Jakarta based on your experience?

Thank you.

Hello, this is my first time in Jakarta. I have an appointment tomorrow at 7am, the hospital is 17km from my hotel and Google maps says it’ll take about an hour to reach there. I wanted to ask what the traffic situation is like early morning and if one hour is enough or should we be leaving earlier? Any help will be much appreciated!

Where will I get a better exchange rate for US$: From an ATM machine (all charges will be reimbursed, if any from my bank) or at moneychangers? Do higher bills get a better rate?

I have nearly four hours between my arrival (7:30 AM on a Sunday) and connection in CGK. I will have to pick up luggage and head for the domestic airline counter during that time.

I looked at the e-visa online, and I have to scan my passport, dll.... Since I have the time should I just wait in line? As I remember, I need only my passport.

Terima kasih!

Hello, I happen to be in a situation where I lost my physical bank card, I blocked it already. But I need to withdraw money, I have another virtual revolut card installed in my iPhone and in my country it is possible to withdraw with an NFC using your phone. Anyone knows if there is this possibility in Jakarta AirPort? Thank you

Anyone know of any good co-working spaces in Menteng? Need to book one for a Friday afternoon / early evening. Typically I book in Kuningan and Kemang, but I need to be in Menteng for dinner that night as well, and want to avoid the jam. Thanks

Hi r/Jakarta! My partner is from Jakarta himself but besides the usual Taman Safari, Taman Mini, Grand Indonesia, Monas, we're struggling to find places to to go for the month. We both are 20 years old, into alternative subcultures and music, illustration, comics, outdoor exploring, shopping for cute stationery, and fashion. As someone who has never been to Indonesia but has heard much about it through my partner, I would love to learn how to make batik. We both want to go to live alternative music shows as well. Thanks in advance!

Stupid question I know,

Jadi saya ada titipan barang dari teman saya dan dia bakal sampai di bandara Jakarta, if it’s important, they’ll be arriving from an international flight. Nah karena posisi gua sekarang lagi ga di kota tujuan, saya kepikiran untuk kirim GoSend atau Grab aja ke rumah saya.

Nah, barusan dia bilang katanya gak memungkinkan buat pesan Grab atau GoSend dari bandara buat mengirim ke luar. But honestly I’m not sure about how the rules and whatnot, especially with the “preman”, if there’s any. So here I am asking this stupid question, who knows anyone else have had the experience of sending things from airport or have tried to.

Thanks Komodos!

Hello!

I'd like to ask for some advice. I'm landing in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on the 24th of January at 18.00 pm with Turkish Airlines (usually arrives on time). After that, I need to collect my checked-in baggage. My question is about the transportation to Bogor - would it be possible to catch a bus to Bogor that same evening (to keep expenses low)?

I checked 12go.asia and found out that the last bus in their schedule leaves at 19.15 (Lintas Shuttle) and that goes from Tangerang. Is there an option to get on the bus from the airport? Tangerang seems a bit far, which would not be a problem (to go there by taxi) if only I had more time between landing and the bus leaving.

EDIT:

I found this piece of information about Damri buses:

"Large air-con coaches with roomy luggage compartments below operate between Soekarno–Hatta International Airport Jakarta and the DAMRI terminal near Botani Square Bogor. Tickets can be purchased from the DAMRI counter at the airport or on the bus. Airport to Bogor: hourly from 05:00 to 01:30 (55,000 rupiah/VIP 75,000 rupiah; 2 hours)"

Is that information about DAMRI up-to-date?

Halo, apakah ada rekomendasi sewa apartemen area JakPus secara tahunan? Kebetulan dapat kerja di sekitar RSUPN Cipto. Rencana cari apartemen yang parkiran mobilnya banyak. Budget sekitar 30-40 juta pertahun, unfurnished gak apa2. Thankyou

Hello,

I am planning my first visit to Jakarta and will be staying for 7 to 10 days, depending on the information I receive. As a solo traveler, I would appreciate any recommendations for my initial trip. I am particularly interested in nature experiences and beach destinations, and I'm keen to engage in activities such as snorkeling or Kayaking.

While I don't have a strong interest in historical sites, I remain open to learning about them. Additionally, I would like to participate in a food tour to explore the local cuisine.

I understand that some might suggest that a few days in Jakarta would be sufficient. However, I would also like to know which other cities you would recommend visiting, as well as activities I should consider.

Hello, I'll be in Jakarta again next month. I'd like to stay in a hotel with the best buffet breakfast. Any recommendations? I stayed at the Ritz Carlton PP last time -- food was great but since breakfast is at the executive lounge, selection is not as extensive. I kind of plan to eat a lot during my stay. 🤣 5-star or exceptional 4-star hotels please if possible. Thank you.
