This is not LOS or PI. It's a different world.

She won't have a bathing suit.
She won't speak any English.
She will feel exposed and uncomfortable.
As a white guy you will certainly stand out.
You will be breaking a few cultural norms, so be low key.

Having said that, she might very well appreciate and enjoy a drive around the island and a meal. This is just my impression as a Caucasian who made one solo trip to T. Balai. Some guys might be able to pull it off.

Hi John,

Nice to get your perspective on this series of questions.

I know that TG Balai isn't the LOS or the PI. That's why I am including it on my itinerary during this trip. I want to visit a new places and have a little adventure and to experience different cultures. BKK, Pattaya, Phukett, Manila and Angeles City are fun but not an adventure to me anymore. After 3 or 4 days I start to get bored with these places. Never thought I would get to that point, but I have done so.

I suspected that swiming suits would not be a typical wardrobe item with the girls at Villa. But, it was a question worth asking.

From reading thousands of posts here and other forums I have learned that I will not be able to verbally communicate with the girls. That's ok. I have had girls in the LOS and the PI who could speak virtually no English. Hopefully a guide, some sign language and lots of smiles will help me overcome this difficulty.

You are correct to say I will stand out because I am white. I am also almost 6 foot tall. That won't help either. I'm extremely low key and polite. But, as you say, I am white. Nothing I can do about that. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make myself look Asian during this portion of my trip. But, I can not. So I will just try my best to be respectful of the people of TG Balai.

I think TG Balai is going to be the highlight of my trip to Asia. It is going to be so diiferent. So it will be a real fun adventure for me.

Thank you for your response and take care,

N1

There should not be any problem if you want to go to the beach with the girl. I suggest you take a guide, this will be helpful because going to the beach is like 30 minutes away from town and the hotel taxi's would not drive you there.
Safety? im not sure because you will feel abit wierd people staring at you since you will not see any other white guys around except for you.

Thanks for the response Sanibss,

Yes, I agree I must have a guide. I don't think I will have a problem with locals staring at me. I don't consider that a safety problem. A bunch of locals chasing me down the street or beach with clubs and machetes is what I consider a safety issue. I don't expect that will be the case.

Actually, I am more concerned about the girl with regards to the staring thing which I suspect will occur. I don't want to be disrespectful to her or the people of TG Balai during my visit. But, I do want to see more than the inside of my room during my visit. If I can share some fun with the girl, that would make the visit that much better.

Take care,

bro Sanibss,

noted, thank you so much for the info, appreciate it. plans already
under way with additional expences in mind.

My opinion, RM600 would not be enough. RM800 is ideal for 2 nights. If RM600, you will get roughly around Rp1.5 Million rupiah.
Girls - Rp250,000 x 2 night = Rp500,000
Hotel - Rp180,000 (cheapest nice hotel) x 2 nights = Rp360,000
Girls tips - minimum Rp50,000 for 1 girl. If you change another girl on the 2nd day, then X2.
All this is already around Rp1,000,000.
This is excluding Meal, cost of transport and enjoy (karaoke or disco).
But it is up to you on how you would like to spend, but for me, i dont think RM600 is sufficient.

OK. I'm asking this question because this will be my first visit to TG Balai and Indonesia and I am a white guy.

If I take a girl early from Villla or Rocco, is it possible to take her to the waterfall pool or the beach for swimming and just having fun or does the girl always have to stay in the room because of cultural issues and even potential danger. Obviously I would need a guide or hotel taxi for this kind of adventure.

Would the girl go? If asked at the house, will the girl even have a swimming suit?

My experiences are limited to the LOS and the PI where this is the norm. I enjoy having fun with the girls above and beyond boinking them until they can hardly walk. Of course, boinking them is the primary reason I will be visiting TG Balai. But, it would be fun if I could something more with the girls.

Thanks in advance and Take care,

Hi Sanibss,

Can i know which hotel is the near to the farm?

Actually the Farm (Vila and Ruko) is not far from town. You will get there anywhere from town within 10minutes or lesser. Unless you are referring to another farm which is far from town which is called Paya Labu, i wouldn't reco this place as it is run down and mostly the locals go there for ST. Cleanliness is out of the questions even if there are some pretty girls there.

There is like 20 hotels to choose from and all are located within the town (more like a cowboy town).

We would need a passport to visit Tg Balai. I also cannot use the PM. dunno why, why not just exchange mobile number so can sms?

=======================================

Hi Guys,

With all due respect, I posted a notice on the forum for 6 months AND sent out three seperate emails advising everyone that the PM system was going to be a subscription member feature.

FYI: A Forum Subscription costs less than a .50 cent newspaper once a week.

Thanks,

Jackson

For a 3 days 2 night in Tg Balai should not cost you more than RM 600. I am interested to go along since I am also from KL. My last trip was in August 2006. Waiting for reply.

Hi Sanibss,

[Gondol77]

For the benefit of fellow bro, I re-posted this article which I wrote in other forum on Tg Balai.

Hi all,

I received several query from other bro in this forum regarding the safety and situation in Tg Balai during puasa month. Frankly I have never spend any puasa month in Tg Balai but if u can take other places in Indonesia as a yardstick eg. Medan or Jakrta, i can tell you that the situation is quite boring during the day. All night outlet will closed down especially karaoke centre, bar, massage parlour. But Kofa did told me that activities in Rukko and Villa still continue. Maybe they will not dare to allow the girl to go out wearing explicit dress . All activities will be confined in your own hotel room.

Regarding the cost let me put the breakdown like this:-

a) Transportation

i. Bus Mayang Sari from KL to Pontian = RM 20
ii. Taxi Pontian to Kukup = RM 4
iii. Ferry Kukup to Tg Balai return (incl. Boarding Fee) = RM 80
iv. Driver's tip = Rp 70K ~ RM 30
v. Return journey to KL = RM 24

Transportation Total = RM 158

b) Accommodation
i. Hotel Himalaya Deluxe room Rp 180 K
( RM 75 x 2 nights) = RM 150

c) Ceweks
Cewek rate varies depending on look and seniority but average is Rp 250 K per day + Rp 50K tips (depends on you) = RM 125 per day x 2 days = RM 250

d) Food & Beverage
This totally depens on you own appetite..For me I am more comfortable ordering room service at hotel. Roughly around RM 40 per day for two person
(RM 40 x 2 day) = RM 80

e) Miscellaneous

Just for contigency prepare RM 100

Grand Total for 3 days 2 nite in Tg Balai = RM 738

BTW, I am also interested to go again in November/ December.If want to go together do contact me. TQ
