- I'm finally in Indonesia! Batam Island first impressions!
Previous video from Sentosa Island, Singapore ➡️ • I Can't Believe THIS I...
Join me on the journey from Singapore to Batam Island, Indonesia. Just a short ferry ride away, there is an island in front of Singapore that belongs to Indonesia. Batam Island is also a popular holiday destination for people from Singapore as prices there are way lower. I am keen to explore Batam city and then continue my journey into Indonesia from there on. Indonesia is probably the most requested country on my channel, so I am very happy and super excited to finally start an Indonesia series! Have you been to Indonesia yet? Let me know in the comments.

Ken how old are you ? much love frome Germany
Ken, I think the price is not an object since you're now a 'nearly millionaire' 😂...anyway, excited to see your forthcoming journey through Indonesia..stay healthy and safe.
u can take grab but terminal n shopping centre are out of bound...u have to walk outside the area to take grab/gojeck
since you are drinking coconut, Fun fact : Indonesia is the largest coconut exporter in the World, so do not worry about the freshness of the coconut in Indonesia, it is always fresh and young, the older coconut usually used to made into coconut milk that mostly used in most of the food in Indonesia.
Juice for Drink you should try Avocado Juice (Jus Alpukat)
It’s great to see Indonesians so enthusiastic to help others!
I also believe in karma. When you give voluntarily, you will get good rewards!
Ken has always been a kind-hearted big boy in my heart. I believe you will get many good things in return!
Looking forward to the next episode, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
Thank you🙏
@@KenAbroad It is my pleasure, thanks to you too! Take care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Welcome to Sumatra
Batam islands next door to Singapore is Singapore's favoriete escape destination
Where my beloved Maternal Grandma's grave is located.
Passed away in 2011 at one of her houses there not long after my last phone call with her during my 3 years Bali right after my 7-8 years Europe/NL and surrounding, and so on.
Btw, Bahasa Melayu came from Sumatra not Malaysia, fun facts: Men on Malaysian Ringgit and Singaporean Dollar notes were from Minangkabau Sumatra so with Singapore's National Anthem writer and composer came from Minangkabau Sumatra as well.
Mindanao and Manila were founded by my forefathers as well kings of Minangkabau Sumatra before Spaniards came.
(The 32gb data unlimited means the 32gb has maximum speed if it's finished you still have unlimited data but the speed lowered)
Wow foreigner try to visit Indonesia from batam. It's rare for me, i mean it's amazing video. When other people visit Indonesia they always start from Bali. But you different. Welcome to Indonesia and enjoy your journey god bless... ❤
Thanks a lot 🙏
Because you're an average Indonesian know not much about the world not even about Indonesia.
I’m a Filipino but my family are visiting Batam on May next year. We really can’t wait to see your amazing country Indonesia❤🤍
Wow, what an amazing start to your Indonesia series. Nice ferry ride and yeah, you can always use your Bahasa Melayu skill there. Both the languages are quite similar. Wonderful to see you interacting with the locals there...very friendly and warm indeed. How easy it's to go around with a bike taxi and that pakcik (uncle) is so helpful to offer his hand, showing you the ferry office, Kampung Bule and trying bakso, lndonesia's signature dish. Well, exploring local cuisine/food/drinks is always essential to any travel experience. Love this great episode with interesting content. Thank you very much for sharing. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure. All the best and safe travels, Ken.
I think there is a ferry service from Batam to Jakarta at Batu Ampar. The once a week ferry service is from Batu Ampar (Batam) to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) and cost around S$29-S$45. The journey will take around 34 hours.
Only 34 hours. Assumed it was more like a week. Not bad.
@@jamesdivine69well if you go to Papua it will take a weeks
Wow! Thanks for the tip on catching a Grab in Batam. You are blessed to meet kind and helpful people. Stay safe and keep going! 😊
Yes....me too like going Batam from SG😍 People in Batam are friendly so far. Enjoy Ken! - i am from SG
Thanks, Ken. I learnt a lot of travel tips from you. I love the way you tried to your best to get the reasonable price. Really clever and polite at the same time. Also, please add some tips on how to avoid traps in some tourist spots in your next video.
Stay safe and be healthy, Ken.
Love from Malaysia,
Stellar.
Great content. Thank you Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
It's always good to see new video from you ken.. Now indonesia.. Great..
Nice, @KenAbroad . Very keen to see your coming adventures in Indonesia. 🙏
nice one ken - the friendly guy who brought you to the shipping office was Godsend - how many people could speak german language and just happen to be at the coconut store - Enjoy yr time in batam and beyond🍻
Thank you 🙏

At last, finally, you made it to Indonesia... Wow, been a long time since i was in Batam... Apparently from Johor Bahru , we can also take a ferry to Batam as well..... The Malay & Indonesia language is mutually intelligible .. Pretty sure ,you can make good use of your Bahasa Melayu there. From what i noticed as well, Batam seems to have changed a lot as well..... let alone COVID that as changed the landscape of many places..... Still hope you have a good time....Looking forward , take care out there...Cheers mate!

Fun Fact : The native Indonesians of Batam is the same stock as the Malays of Malaysia and Singapore. The Malays of Batam speak the same Malay language as in Johor and Singapore. 🥰
Yeah i noticed that too, most of them had a malay accent, batam is definitely more malay than indos

Welcome to Indonesia, may you enjoy your journey in Indonesia
Thank you 😊
We just spent some time on Batam too! We had a good time and we relaxed a lot 🙂 We also visited Bintan from Batam, really easy
Great content❤❤😊
ohhh wow Ken Batam is a beautifull place , i been there 2017 for 5month im very enjoy there with my good friends indonesian people and they are same here in Philippines a nice person too
When you’re in Batam, also visit Bintan Island.
I’m Riau people but I live in Jakarta. Love for your contents, Ken
Thanks a lot 🙏
Indonesia is very large, consisting of many islands, 1 month is not enough to explore, at least it takes 3 or 4 months to be able to enjoy the friendliness of its people and its natural beauty..
Interesting to follow you on how you can go to jakarta without a flight..i follow you since the covid..im from malaysia..gud luck bro
INDONESIA IS A HUGE COUNTRY WITH MANY ISLANDS WITH BEAUTIFUL SCENERY…YOU SHOULD VISIT OTHER ISLANDS IN INDONESIA…BATAM IS JUST ONE OF THEM
Thanks for vdo👌
Hi Ken..if you want to take a Grab upon reaching the Batam seaport, i would suggest to walk over to the nearby Mega Mall opposite the seaport and take a Grab there..that is what i usually do when i reached Batam. Some of the non metered taxi drivers are ruffians so u gotta be more careful. But overall Batam is great.
I think what she meant unlimited data plan is because you can still use it after 32gb but the speed will drop/slower because of fair usage, not exactly unlimited.
Indonesian language is basically modified malay language, combined with other native language, Indonesian can understand 70 to 80% malay language.
Have a nice stay in Indonesia 🙂
lovely, have fun there, :-)
Hii ken welcome to Indonesia. Enjoy to Explore archipelago of Indonesia. Safe trip my bro and see u in Java island
Tq for sharing
'A little D Route' sounds interesting!😉 Bon Voyage Ken, be safe!
normally 32GB is for high speed internet. once you finished it, your internet speed will be throttled down to few kbps only. enough for texting, not for surfing. that's why she said it was unlimited.
hai ken..greetings from brunei darussalam.. all the best to you ken

Hi Ken great vlog. All seem to travel preety fast in Indonesia. Its important to secure your helmet.

ayyooo imma sub u since u visit my cityy, tbh they sell the simcard to tourist is ofc quite pricey...you can get a cheaper one outside the terminal but its kinda far to get. anywayyy im glad u enjoyed roaming around batam !
Unlimited 32 means when you reach 32gb, you can still use the connection until the period expires for unlimited, but with much reduced speed
I’m literally a loyal customer of Grab too but only in Singapore😁 Currently 🇸🇬 still don’t have motorbike as taxi service now😂 It’s 👍🏼 for man to travel alone but definitely not too safe for any female travellers😅 but I still think man who travel to any unfamiliar country still have to look out esp. when some local might try to scam / cheat you for money. I still remember words from a tour guide telling us not to give donation to street beggars or performers because you give 1, the next comes and so on. Just stay safe & be careful. Enjoy your trip as I really enjoyed watching all your travelling vids😁
Welcome to indonesia 🇮🇩 🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ken you are very lucky person.I have been planning to visit Indonesia since Childhood. I could not .I feel great to see you over there.

usually they go to Bali or straight away to Jakarta.
Nice! I have been watching your channel since 2020. I went to Batam in Nov 2022 and I recommend you to visit Grand Batam Mall and Nagoya Hill Mall.
Regards,
Daniel from Singapore.
Thanks for watching since then 🙏
expect higher prices than normal at ferry/airport terminals. Taxi mafia controls these high traffic places, walk out alittle more outside. But if they catch the grab driver, they might beat up the driver or trash the vehicle. Do be careful if the locals start asking too many specific questions or offer to help with services, may be a nice gesture but need to be wary.
Very true!
I like your go with the flow, unique and true travel experience 👍 Great and enjoyable video as usual 😊
Basicaly Bahasa Malaysia and bahasa indonesia are kind of similar in many ways Ken 😊😊 So you can still use your bahasa overthere in Indonesia.
Tiada masalah Ken 😊😊
Traveling by bus in Sumatra Island is very challenging, especially from North Sumatera to West Sumatra. The round is rounding with hundred of spiky turns, people will get dizy.

Indonesia is comparatively more cheaper than Singapore and Malaysia. People are also friendly.👍
IDK about price though. Some cheap and some not. Because I had traveled a lot. If you compare to big city, maybe. But goods prices? It's different.
Depends, malaysia cheaper in terms of electronics, food is about the same but transportation is cheaper in indonesia
Not all electronics are expensive in Indonesia.
As we have our own internationally known local brands and many international brands manufacturers here.

Yes finally Indonesia from ken my favourite German
Welcome to Indonesia sir🎉
Thank you 😊
The Indonesian people are very friendly. Nice to see. Why would they tell you at the taxi stand that Grab is illegal? They went the wrong way to make themselves extra money from you. They see a foreign person and try to take advantage of you, you are too wise from so much travel , so standing up to them was great. Enjoy your stay.
It cause taxi company has partner agreement
Grab has not
@andriasjabsYeah its less of a relevance unlike on Java, so the policing of such activities is not as strict
Online taxis aren't allowed in many parts of Indonesia even on Bali.

Another cake is honeycomb cake aka Kuih Ambon…Lecker2…😋

Hello,
Great video...Great tips !
Which area do you recommend to stay in Batam near convenience stores, street food markets and transportation system ?
Thank you so much.
Grab and Gojek founders are both Harvard grads from Malaysia (now a Singaporean citizen) and Indonesia, respectively. They're much more legit.
You can take ferry from Batam to either Dumai or Palembang. From there travel to lumpung and there is ferry to Jakarta
Cheers!
Wow mantap good evening thank you keren Jakarta Indonesia
Both the languages r near similar except for the slight diff. in pronounciation. Good to see u happy with yr travelling journey in Indonesia, Ken. 👍🙏
Because Bahasa Melayu came from Sumatra not Malaysia.
Men on Ringgit Malaysia and Singapore Dollar were of Minangkabau Sumatra
True. In fact, Malaysia' s first Agung's descendants r fr Palembang, a place called Pagar Ruyung.
you are a good man
22:32 😂😂😂 Batam hospitality and also 31:36
Glad u met some real nice ppl there esp those who let u ride with them.
Semoga liburan km menyenangkan di Indonesia 👍🇮🇩
Terima kasih 😊
There's motorbike rental in nagoya area. Nmax is just nice for touring around Batam city n surrounding area. Batam is happening n busy at night wth streetfoods that is good to try esp in bengkong area sometimes confuse wth Thailand. Maybe not many westerners except in kampung bule area n certain resorts
You can visit Pulau Belakang Padang...a small charming island in Batam which can see Singapore skyscrapers from this island.
I think that's a good spot only for locals.....not for someone who has been in Singapore

Grab is legal in Batam island but they are not allowed to pick up passengers right in front of the ferry terminal due to the business competition with the taxi

it's not that grab is illegal, but the taxi company is being destroyed by grab since they are cheaper. a few years back, there is a riot between the taxi company employees and grab employees, so they regulated it banning grab in some areas, but when you go out of the area then you can get grab or gocar
bahasa malaysia and indonesia is actually bahasa melayu with slight variation.
After Indonesia got its independance, they need a unifying language hence bahasa melayu was used but they rebrand it as bahasa Indonesia
Its not rebrand.
Bahasa melayu still exist in Riau.
Language = words + structure
We mix words from other ethnics in nusantara and then make own Indonesian language structure

Ken in Batam you can still take Grab there. But discreetly they will fetch you a distance away from the taxi stand/taxi pick-up area because the taxi drivers see Grab as stealing their business.
Batam port is not allow grab or any other online taxi to take passenger from port.The price he mention is correct price if you take a counter taxi
Thank you @kenabroad for stopping by my stand, I just saw your video and I'm happy to chat with you even though my English is bad😂 come again next time okay?
Which shop in the video is yours?

You may try travel through Sumatra or catch a ferry to Pontianak then to Jakarta. Each ferry takes less than 3 or 4 days journey
Malay language is similar with bahasa Indonesia but not same. You may find it's different once you're in java. There are many malays in batam, riau, Sumatra & Kalimantan.
Hye may i know how you pin location grab in batam harbour?im plan to be there but people say it illegal in batam harbour
In Batam grab is ilegal to anyway pickup but some places hv allowed to pick up
Where you went after check in from the hotel is 'a dead mall' 😢 its used to be crowded but no more.... maybe you can visit grand mall batam, mega mall batam, nagoya hill batam l, one mall batam for new and crowded mall
tips eating meatballs in indonesia. Put extra tomato sauce lot of it, a bit of kecap (sweet soy sauce) and the most important if you see sambal (chili sauce) dont add it too much because its so spicy, just tiny pinch of it, think of it as wasabi. I see a lot of foreigners add so much sambal for their first try, they straight regret it but pretend that was good 🤣🤣🤣
Gojek is more superApp in Indonesia and been the other decacorn in South East Asia. Price is cheaper than Grab and more points😂
What i experience on grab/gojek in jakarta. Basically if entering the hotel to pick up or drop off. The gantry charges the driver for parking even if its just picking up or dropping off. There isnt any grace period. And the driver will charge the fee to the passenger.
Do you wanna the driver wouldn't charge the fee to you ?
@@adijanuardea1582im just sharing. I did not say i did not want to pay. Different country has different way of doing things.
I'm so sorry for that guy that telling a bad jokes.. sometimes there are some troublesome guy here
But mostly Indonesian are very polite and friendly
Thankyou for visiting Indonesia(Batam)
