Sorry to hear that,

But it's no wonder. My girl kept saying that Balikpapan was a VERY small thing compared to Jakarta.

Dear xxl,

Just back from Balikpapan with no major success. I wish I read your reply earlier.

Cheers anyway

BALIKPAPAN

I know a girl in Balikpapan who now tells me she's working in a Karaoke there. As a Karaoke girl, she gets on in English better than most Indo girls so she would be ideal as an introducer.

If someone still needs infos, they can e-mail me and I can ask her if she agrees for me to give her phone number to a man in need of introductions. She has no e-mail.

Remove double spacing in the first part of the address.

Hi KijangBesar,

Thanks for the info. The reason I'll be in Pontianak is that, as far as I know, there are no direct flights from Kuching to Balikpapan or Samarinda. So, as I have to stay at least one night in Pontianak, why not seek for company? Unless you happen to have different info about the direct flights from Kuching, Malaysia.

Hi Menteng,

Sorry, was a bit too busy to visit the site. Hope it's not too late.

To be frank, I don't know any details. But I've seen ladies along Jl. Sudirman/Jl. Minyak near the 'monumen'. And along the darker stretches of Jl. Tandean.

However, the road between Hotel Bahtera/Pinisi Disco and Hotel Benakutai (cannot remember the name), parallel to Jl. Sudirman is sports a lot of small brothels with the girls hanging out on the street. Mind you, it's also Balikpapan's most criminal area, lots of drugs, pimps, etc.

And I'm sure around the harbour(s) must be ladies (Kampung Baru not far from Hotel Bahana Surya a.k.a. Blue Sky).

In short, I'm afraid I've to refer you to the taxi drivers (Taxi Mawar (0542)412525).

Be careful in Pontianak. Was there some 10 yrs ago. Religious fanatics roamed the streets even back then, and it doesn't look that that has subsided since (on the contrary). Boring town anyway.

Good luck.

Hi KijangBesar,

Thank you very much for the information. It gives me something to work with prior to hitting Balikpapan. Pity about the Hotel Bahtera's Pinisi Disko because I think I'm booked in at that place. I guess I'll check the place out anyways just for my education.

Umm...if you are willing to share the handphone numbers of the girls you have mentioned I'd appreciate them. I'd rather have the services of someone that is recommended than just trying my luck. By the way, are the girls you mentioned free-lancers ? My email is buzz_95@hotmail.com

Your comment regarding "quite a lot of girls are not females!" has me worried. I was in Malaysia a while back and I didn't even realise the "hot chick" I was chatting up wasn't a girl until someone told me. Is there a way I can tell before getting down to business ? Or are there specific places I need to avoid so that I don't get embaressed ? Or do I need to be up front and ask ? What's the protocol there ?

Once again, I appreciate your help very much.

OK Buzzlite,

I live in Balikpapan. The main places are the Pinisi disko in Hotel Bahtera smack in the city centre, and the Borneo Pub in Hotel Dusit. Pinisi girls are the cheaper ones; they are often loaded on Xtcy and not my type, thus cannot give any further info. I like the Borneo Pub and the girls there more. Girls are well-behaved. They range from 18 to 40+, from (super) professionals to naive newcomers and free-lancers that need to somehow get their childrens' school fees. Mind that, as anywhere in Indonesia/SE Asia, quite a lot of girls are not females!

Prices: anything between Rp 200,000-500,000 (about US$22-55) for a night; prices go a bit down towards closing time. Two girls for Rp 400,000/night is possible. ST & street girls are much cheaper, but the latter don't speak english.

If you're interested, I have collected handphone numbers (Desi 23yr, Dewi 23yr, Lala 26yr, Ita 22yr, Melisa 17yr, Anis 33yr, Fera 18yr, Yati 36 yr, Tanti22 yr, Wati).

Other places: Luwai Bar in Hotel Benakutai (OK, but less choice, and the bar is dull); the bar in Hotel Bahana Surya (a.k.a. Blue Sky) even less choice and boring; the bar in Hotel Gran Senyiur (veeery quiet and expensive); Martha's and Joyce Places (next to each other, more for the late afternoon/early evening). And of course along the roads ...

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks for the info........

I was very much a ST customer so I can only comment on that.

ST you should be able to get for RM40 to 50, if you're foreign looking like I am be prepared to get pricees like RM 70, which is f*cking outrageous.

If you're in the Bahtera arrange for the in-house massage service, the initial massage fee is only about RM 20 - 50 depending on length of time, after that you pay about the same for extra services. Like I said before be prepared to be overcharged if you're a foreigner.

You get to Tarakan by either ferry (Indomaya) or plane from Tawau. The ferry fare is roughly RM 70 something for first class, the air conditioning on the bloody thing is hyperactive so wear a hat and wear a sweater (this is the only time you will need it unless you spend time in the middle of the jungle at night).

I hope the above is of use.
