Recurring question. Use search.
Most of the people seems to recommend Indonesia. It took them 12 days. Due to Ramadan and other Indonesian+Thai public holidays.
You don't need to be in Jakarta for this. In fact, I highly recommend you fly somewhere else, such as Yogyakarta or Bali. However, if necessary, you should be ready to travel to Jakarta.
