you may need to wait until next year to start looking. Believe me. ants are everywhere. And during nuptual flight time, queens are out there. you just have to look a little harder. If you keep looking, eventually you will succeed. Good luck!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

There do not appear to be any GAN farmers in Indonesia. You should get a blacklight. They fly year round in tropical regions, not to mention it is summer for you right now, correct? Every night just take a white fabric and your blacklight outside and collect queens from the blacklight. It works great!
