Happen to chance upon all the ferry companies from the Singapore Cruise Centre and run thru them a little :

From Harbour Front alone :

Batamfast Ferry makes about 12 to 14 trips to Batam Center daily

Sindo Ferry makes about 12 to 14 trip to Batam Center daily

Majestic Ferry makes about 12 trips to Batam Center daily

From Tanah Merah Ferry terminal :

Batamfast makes about 9 trips to Batam's Nongsapura ferry terminal daily.

Notice how many ferries were embarking at Batam Center? Thats not counting others not from Harbour Front or other neighboring countries. How not to be crowded? How not to get messed up one day in the long run?

Batam itself is already unpredictable enough,hehehe...I go Batam to relax and enjoy myself,i just dont wish to be face with too many uncertainties and even more unpredictables for simple traveling matters.

Thanks bro Nono for your compilation of ferry companies and schedules.

I would also like to share some info on money saving tips for bros here for ferry service to batam....

For singaporean who travel from singapore to batam.

1) Use NTUC card to get $10 off for 2 ways ferry ticket from harbourfront to batam centre by sindo ferry.
$36 ticket + $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) - $10 = $38.70

2) Senior citizen - must be singaporean aged 50 and above (valid till 30 sept 2016)
S$17 per 2way adult ticket from harbourfront to batam centre by sindo ferry.(Price excludes Terminal Taxes)
Singapore Passenger Departure Fee is $6 per person.
Batam Terminal tax is Rp65,000 per person.
$17 ticket + $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) = $29.70

3) Apply for the Sindo Ferry Club Card at $188 per month which entitle to unlimited travel between batam centre and Singapore harbourfront. But the price is exclude tax on both sides.
Singapore Passenger Departure Fee is $6 per person.
Batam Terminal tax is Rp65,000 per person.
Applicable to Batam Centre, Sekupang and Waterfront.
Each month cost $188
Each return trip cost $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) = $12.70

From my understanding, horizon ferry still has not come out with monthly unlimited travel promotion yet... If it does, I believe many cheongsters will be queuing up to apply for one because horizon ferry provide service to harbourbay Nagoya...the place where great food, sensual massage and other excitements can be enjoyed...:D

For Indonesian who travel from singapore to batam.
There are many Indonesian Chinese and Javanese residing in singapore. I guess there are also many samsters reading this forum are Indonesian residing in spore. :)

One of the money saving tips for INDONESIAN ONLY is that they are entitled to buy 2 way ferry tickets by horizon ferry for 375k=$38 nett instead of $48 at the Harbourbay Horizon Ferry Ticket Office. The price is inclusive of taxes on both sides

They can buy so called 2way OPEN ticket which means they buy and keep the tickets. The tickets can then be used to depart from spore side first or batam side first. The 2 way tickets are valid for about one year from the date of purchase.

For Malaysian/Indonesian who travel from Johor Bahru to batam.
Finally Malaysian/Indonesian from Johor Bahru Stulang Laut ferry terminal can have a direct ferry service from JB direct to Harbourbay Ferry Terminal. The direct ferry service was started off end of last year.

So now Johorian or even Singaporean/indonesian can travel directly from JB to Harbourbay Nagoya unlike last time have to reach batam centre first and then transfer taxi to Nagoya. Thus save on precious time and money and effort.

The ferry ticket price from JB Stulang Laut ferry terminal to Harbourbay and Batam Centre are the same because the distance apart from JB ferry terminal to both ferry terminals are almost equal if you look at the map.

There are now currently 2 ferry companies operating from harbourbay to JB stulang laut.

The two ferry ticket offices are located side by side near horizon ferry ticket office. Their schedules of departure from harbourbay to JB are different.

The first one is PT Putramaju (picture below showing schedule) (the staff said they use better ferry than the other company)

The second one is marine hawk ferry. (last time was known as mv mutiara)

Bro,u forgot almost 3 yrs ago,exchg rate was less than 9k for 1 sing $ & w the current depleting rates on older hotels,it jus gets cheaper & cheaper if one is comfortable enuff.

You just reminded me my 1st trip to Batam in 2014 was about 88xx for 1 SGD. Today I see an about 10% down to 98xx for 1 SGD. :p

It is luck factor whom u going to get in cheonging. There is always a next time, a next try

Agreed with you. Next time, hope for better luck.

Took Ferry arrive Batam Center @10:30am, unfortunately encounter downpour spend nearly 1 hour eat and drink in the shopping mall connected by a flyover with terminal to find no sign of stop. So come down to the mall gate and there is a guy there to offer taxi service. was charged 75K for taxi to my hotel - Hotel HANA - I know it is carrot chopping but I didn't find anywhere to reach a taxi or ojek since still raining hard.

Rainy weather kind of no choice. You could wait for the rain to stop but I doubt anyone will since most of our time in Batam worth very much more than the 15k to 25k rupiah difference in taxi rate. You arrived to Batam Center and the distance from Harbour Bay Ferry terminal versus Batam Center ferry terminal is at least thrice the difference in distance and timing.

After reaching hotel, check in. To find the hotel is OK in terms of location, but not hot enough hot water. staff explain saying due to raining, guess they are using solar system for heat water?

Thank you for sharing, now I know more about Hana Hotel.

anyway will try another hotel next time. also future bros can take reference from this.
After settle down, step outside the hotel, find a small convenient store to get some supply (I bet you all know what is it, lol) then was approached by some taxi driver to offer tour service for booking girl. Since I am still new to Batam scene, I took one looks like nice guy and accept his offer of 50K to booking joints. It maybe another cost I can cut off in the future, anyway for the first time I will take it as kind of tuition fee.

Feel free to try both method (walking and taxi/ojek) when it comes to travelling in Batam and find out what suits you best. Better still, use both methods of travelling to your advantage and get rid of the no good part. Keep on modifying your trip to make it better and better.

please don't laugh at me although I know I deserved it

The reason why bros here stays in Hana is at most time becos New Berry is just across the street. I don't understand why others would laugh at you. There's nothing to laugh about.

I found it is really hard to bargain down since they are really firm about the price even those just so so looking girl. Maybe it is just because my bargain skills sucks, lol.

Practice make perfect. Each massage session cost 60k to 80k per hour in most places. Price of special service will go down if you die die don't take it up,hehehe...well, given that its almost a fact that massage ladies mainly have one or at most just 2 customers a day.

Finally I have taken 1 for 300K and 1 for 350K and turned down another one which at least want 400K.
Beautiful Massage girl
face 6/10
body 7/10
FJ 6/10
Pegy Massage girl
face 7/10
body 7/10
FJ 5/10

You just remind me why I couldn't find myself taking up any ST at 400k/500k and above in Batam. Utama area's ST is usually range between 200k to 300k from my experience. On average,they have perhaps 1 or maximum 2 customers a day,if they miss out their chance of you taking up the special they prompted you upon,that would probably means its a "lost" to them for even coming to work on that particular day.

The one who holds the money will always be at an advantage in Utama area,but not everyone who holds the money were somewhat intelligent enough; base on your description that you have to turn down a 400k one who die die wants that price. It means some not-very-intelligent/or weak-willed bros has paid the 400k (or more) to her before,hence she is so bend on the 400k.

Just a personal point of view.

Hope my FR sharing could somehow be helpful to other newbies. Actually I do learned a lot from all those good bros sharing this this thread. Senior bros also please advise any mistakes I have made. any comments or recommendations are welcome. Cheers for chionging bros!

I don't know if your FR sharing is helping anyone but it sure has helped me.

Something to share base on your experience,if inflation is so often claimed to be high in Batam,i will allow it to work towards my advantage rather than going against the flowing tide.

Prices of daily necessities were getting higher in Batam each month due to inflation? It affects us as much as it will be affecting their locals working there too. If their job system (or payroll system) do not change,they will very much often get the similar basic salary which cannot catch up with their inflation. It would somewhat means they need to EARN MORE to be able to enjoy the same thing they have some years ago,so that works towards my advantage when I pay them almost the same as what I did 2.5 years ago becos if they don't take up my offer,they have nothing at the end of the day.

My conclusion is,i will reject all special service offer in any massage shops that were above my benchmark. And I know I can afford to reject them becos each hourly massage only cost between 50k to 100k most time. And i know I can get 200k to 300k fj (350k max) nearly everywhere in Batam,why should I pay anything in 400k and above under a normal circumstances? (much easier during weekdays too)

I also ask myself,if booking joint is charging 400k to 500k per pop,how much does the girls bring home after the OKT and the joint itself took part of the money? And then if a FL via wechat/watsapp charges 400k to 600k per pop,how much does she brings home at the end of the day? Lastly,how much does a massage girl who took up 200k to 300k fj brings home?

Do the maths and it gives me a better understanding how much a good bonk cost in Batam. Therefore using my simple ways of calculation,i have concluded that wechat/wattsapp/ and FLs at the NED in Batam is the MORE EXPENSIVE bonk of it all. (not to mention its the least-safe too)

Note : My calculation is base solely on a per bonk basis,not counting in the good time which some might have while drinking with the girls,having a good TCSS time in NED pubs/disco/clubs etc and/or in a massage shop where one has a wonderful private massage time. I would still urge all to remain vigilant with personal valuables with any working girl anywhere,not just wechat/FLs.

A personal perspective.

Thank you for sharing and may your next trip to Batam, be better than your current.

Cheers!

Aug 17 is Indonesia National Day.

Want to check if go BTM on this weekend 13 Aug for 2 nights.....advisable?

It really depend on your itinerary. If you plan to go to places like Pulau Galang,Barelang Bridge,Nagoya Hill Mall etc, surely there will be more people than the regular normal days. But if your plan is on girls,massage,pub,KTV etc then it shouldn't have any issue as it would be just like any normal weekend crowd. If i imagine putting myself in the trip either between 13th-15th's weekends or the 20th-22nd one,i am actually expecting a little more than normal crowd in the tourist area on the 13th-15th's weekend.

I am planning a non-sex Batam trip for a group of aunties and uncle,hence I am keeping tab now. I have to bring them to some touristy places but yet on a personal scale, i do not like crowd. Who knows,i might just throw them into a 1st tier type of Spa for a 5 hour massage and spa treatment, hehehe...and then go do my own things.

Just a thought. :D

Imagine btm without foreign tourists. I tink it'd be disastrous to many. If tourists were reduced tremendously by more than 50%,it's going to hav an impact on em 2.

Yes. When SBY ( previous president) came up in 2004, he shut down the casinos. Whole of Batam came to a stand still. Took a long time to recover with other entertainments.

Many bros here go there at least once a month, and some even once per week, so I suppose you will have to take that into perspective.

Btm is nt jus all abt sex & girls. I'd get the pretty girls of course,but after tat,i'd need to knw where to go & what to do next beside jus eat fuck slp. As the sayin goes,all sex & no foreplay makes all the sexsion less fun. :D

There are simply so many more thgs 1 can do in btm.

So your time table and mine is different. While you spend your time looking at Indo girls, I use this time to watch movie and while after office hours, I use this time to look at Indo ladies. Hehehee...

In btm theatres,there's always malls. In the malls,i'm sure there's abundant girls...& most girls like a good movie (mayb bcs it's in a mall). :D

Just Been to 2 Masage (both in the utama area), not the holiday period
Initial Quota for FJ
Princess: 500k
Sweet Massage: SGD 60

Both I say "No, too expensive", and both did not bother to bring down the prices... and so I left
What can I say? too many carrot for them to chop???
about 1 year ago, the prices in this area rise to 400k (1st quota), now it rise by another 100k... or maybe just my lucks...

By the way, for Indo Rasa Massage, they 1st quota 300k for cock massage(I went in June & Aug)

Just to share what bros here can expect, esp if you cannot speak their languages. Very hard bargain needed to bring it down.

Those SYT waitresss working along N.Hill food street at level 1 looks so yummy. Last trip i had Ayam penyat coz of the Indo cina gal working there. The rest of the service crews at the shop seem to catch the lingo, back out for SYT to assist mi whole course(order/serving/billing). Too bad, i cant strike a good conversation with my limited Bahasa. Hope to see her again next trip. Haha.

If you can speak good Indo, you can nego down to HJ 100K, FJ 250K for MILF in such places.

I don't speak good Indo or even passable Indo, so I expect to pay more than local. The problem is the trend, from 250k/300k to 400k to now 500k. I can only assume there are a lot more carrots going there to get chop for the past 1.5 year.

Ya, usually when I say expensive, they will ask how much I am willing to pay, then I can drop the prices. But they don't even bother to neg, maybe during the national day weekend, they had a great feast...

I don't know about others,but to me,this above are very useful information for someone like me who has been constantly watching out on the pricing.

Thank you.

What can I say? too many carrot for them to chop???
about 1 year ago, the prices in this area rise to 400k (1st quota), now it rise by another 100k... or maybe just my lucks...

Now,i put myself in the massage girl's shoe,..if I am one of the massage girls there and speaking as if I have some Sillypore experience,i would most likely 1st quote ALL Sillyporean with 1 million rupiah for a FJ and 500k rupiah for a HJ 1st. :D

Side note : Above and below is a reverse logic here when I usually quoted the massage girls 100k hj and 200k fj AS a foreign customer but now I am standing from the massage girl's narration. Remember,my tactics of "...my friend/s tells me hj in Batam is 100k,fj is 200k"...hehehe...

Why so? Becos there are no lack of not-very-clever yet proud and thin-skinned people from Sillypore who are willing to pay that price as those were the market rate in their 1st world country. If they don't bargain at all or too proud or too shy to bargain,i (still putting myself in the massage girl's shoe) gets to be pocket all the 1 million rupiah for FJ and/or the 500k rupiah for HJ,and even if they bargain,i still get around 600k to 800k for FJ and 300k to 400k for HJ. Either way,i (as a massage girl) win.

And since I already chop some not-very-intelligent person's carrot on that particular day, for the later 2nd,3rd or 4th customers of the day or the next few days,i can just give them some lowly sub-standard service or don't offer special AT ALL unless its a Desperado that are more than willing to take on MY even much higher price term. (I mean since most customers only come once or twice a month or once every few months and they are unlikely to remember me if I plus minus some make-up)

Me and most of my Batam regular friends has already stop visiting majority of the massage shops around Utama area. Simple common sense of course,...if those rundown massage places in Utama area's massage shop command such High Price like 300k hj and/or 400k or 500k FJ,we would rather take the special service from places like in-Hotel massage special or 2nd Tier Spa like Octopuss/Altalanta/Delta.

Why so? Knowing the right price to pay, at least I know I am not getting chop and they have a very much MORE HYGIENIC and CLEANER atas environment. It is also more convenient and safer for my valuables.(lesser stress in some way) Not to mention even cheaper prices for me at times too. Make no sense for me to TRAVEL that extra mile to reach Utama area with a more rundown amenities and yet be paying same or higher price,right?

By the way, for Indo Rasa Massage, they 1st quota 300k for cock massage(I went in June & Aug)

That's normal. About nearly a year ago,they already started their 1st quote of 300k per dick massage for every customer. Tho I haven't been there for about 6 months,i still have friend who occasionally does and I know 150k to 180k per dick massage is still pretty much easily achievable if one were to bargain down. (insist on not taking special,prices will usually auto comes down at most time there)

Nowaday,i seldom visit Madurani Massage or Indo Rasa anymore due to their market rate being badly spoilt (I used to get 100k dick massage in both places,but I couldn't do it today anymore) becos they were in a high tourist traffic area. i switched to quite a handful of popular known 'clean massage places' which I didn't mention a lot here. As for why I didn't mention much of their names here is becos I went there for special service,whereby most others probably woudnt be able to get since its technically clean.

Let's say, if I share in public that I get 150k hj and 350k in places like Spa Secret (example and illustration only), I am more likely to get flame for lying. :D

(in case no one remembers, i was aiming to turn clean massage places dirty a long time ago and I didn't forget that)

Just to share what bros here can expect, esp if you cannot speak their languages. Very hard bargain needed to bring it down.

10 out of 10 bros who joined me in my trips know well I couldnt communicate in bahasa at all,hehehe...and bargaining do not require one to speak their language. In fact,i find it is an advantage for myself to bargain w/o knowing their language.

(the art of bargaining is to slowly give in little by little, the one who gives in to the opponent most lost the game. And language barrier may some time cause the massage girl impatient enough to give in to me totally)

Worse come to worse,pull out my hp with a calculator function will do. It is a business culture to bargain downward anywhere within Indonesia. It is not an intelligent move for any tourist if he/she didn't bargain at all in Indonesia. (yes,i am now implying on even the smallest amount on taxi/ojek fare)

I admit,i am also human and I do make some mistake along the way in my Batam trips. But the mistakes I made,i share. So others can try to avoid those mistakes (if they read). I have also consolidated my own experience to share too.

You just remind me why I couldn't find myself taking up any ST at 400k/500k and above in Batam. Utama area's ST is usually range between 200k to 300k from my experience. On average,they have perhaps 1 or maximum 2 customers a day,if they miss out their chance of you taking up the special they prompted you upon,that would probably means its a "lost" to them for even coming to work on that particular day.

It means some not-very-intelligent/or weak-willed bros has paid the 400k (or more) to her before,hence she is so bend on the 400k.

Do the maths and it gives me a better understanding how much a good bonk cost in Batam. Therefore using my simple ways of calculation,i have concluded that wechat/wattsapp/ and FLs at the NED in Batam is the MORE EXPENSIVE bonk of it all. (not to mention its the least-safe too)

You were in a race against time,yet some guy/s seems to be trying to hold you back (not forgetting their 'cant be bothered' and 'take own sweet time' attitude) and the added sarcasm only worsen the entire ordeal.

Ya,they do hav the tendency 2 take their own sweet time which smtime let ppl mistook they've the cn't be bother attitude. Like eating in sm restaurants like tat,sm time the first dish comes only after half hr later. So,i tink a slower pace & lackin sm sense of urgency were part of their culture. Smthg we hav to learn to adapt to. ;)

I am planning a non-sex Batam trip for a group of aunties and uncle,hence I am keeping tab now. I have to bring them to some touristy places but yet on a personal scale, i do not like crowd. Who knows,i might just throw them into a 1st tier type of Spa for a 5 hour massage and spa treatment, hehehe...and then go do my own things.

Jus dn't go tell the folks u r bringing along with tat thse places u r abt to bring em to were terrorist prompt places. U might scare the living hell out of em even b4 the trip commerce. :p

I undstd u r jokin everytime u said tat but the folks may not tink so. :D

Is just 5 hours enough for you? :confused:
You are not a bonk-and-go type... :D

I suggest you set up a very tiring day program for your aunties and uncles, made of long hikes and walks for shopping and sightseeing. After 8pm, they will be exhausted and will head to their rooms to sleep. THEN, you will have all the night for yourself.

Make no sense for me to TRAVEL that extra mile to reach Utama area with a more rundown amenities and yet be paying same or higher price,right?

ya very true... massage shops at utama area are getting more ridiculously expensive. Furthermore they will direct you to one of the room at level 3 of the shophouse which is troublesome and a hassle to walk up the steep staircase.

Furthermore, some of their vip room or even the super vip room hygiene standard was quite bad. Some of the vip/super vip room are outdated, run down, dirty and badly stain. No separate bathroom and bathtub looked horrible, see already also no mood to massage leow.

If given a choice I would rather enjoy those in-house hotel massage to be done at the comfort in our own room and to enjoy a much cleaner and comfortable environment..

One more cons is that the album of the massage shops at utama area that were displayed for customers, the photo taken does not resemble the actual look of the massage cewek, not even 50% look alike.

Some of the actual massage cewek look much fatter, uglier, older or bigger than their look in the photo album...

.. massage shops at utama area are getting more ridiculously expensive.
I think u r referring to GQ initial quotes right.

Furthermore they will direct you to one of the room at level 3 of the shophouse which is troublesome and a hassle to walk up the steep staircase.

U must hv visited during peak hr.

Furthermore, some of their vip room or even the super vip room hygiene standard was quite bad. Some of the vip/super vip room are outdated, run down, dirty and badly stain. No separate bathroom and bathtub looked horrible, see already also no mood to massage leow.

i agree that MOST MP are old... whereas there is one still new..

If given a choice I would rather enjoy those in-house hotel massage to be done at the comfort in our own room and to enjoy a much cleaner and comfortable environment..

If u stay in UTAMA area can try request for room service from MPs around That area.
Do reminded that VIP rate still applied, even u don't use their(Mp) facility.

.. Utama area...
... much fatter, uglier, older or bigger than their look in the photo album...
There is a saying....
"Never judge the book by its skin"
I say..
"Never choose the Lady by her photo.
Btw it not just only apply in UTAMA..
It apply to any where in my opinion.

110816-130816 (3D2N) FR

Sadly not a good start for us, batamfast ferry was delay for 30 mins due to whatever reason and to add more salt to the wound 1, stupid ass old ahpek took the wrong ferry (my ferry going to HBB) and this further delay 30 mins more. Total delay 1hr from schedule, we (me & Bro C) move out at 12.50pm. What a start to my batam trip but i try not to think so much even thou im piss off with that fool ahpek.

Since we reach batam close to 1pm plus, we check in our bags and off to hunting. Below are the places we went.

Bunga - Bro C bookmark 1 gal
Tulip - loads of potential, i bookmark 1, Papi Abu (previously from indah2) is now here
Sri Kandy - not much choices only 3 gals but i try again on my next trip
Berry - i book my ON gal since its a Thursday night

After hunting we went for lunch at sunda eating house and wait for our gals at 3pm

Bro C book gal from Bunga which he bookmarked earlier, name Si***price was 1.4mil (nego to 1.3mil). Will do bbbj and very accommodating.

Heres my action with ON gal:

1st round - received a 10 mins bbbj follow by 69 for about 5 mins, she cowgirl me, change to missionary and i unload my boys.

Watch movie, had dinner follow by my 2nd round, same as the 1st but with a additional doggystyle and we both cum together. Got dress and off we went to Newton at 12pm till 4am.

3rd round (next morning) - she stroke my lil bro and i fuck her missionary style since both of us are exhausted from the previous night theres nothing exciting this round. Tip her and off she went at 11.30am

Since its a Friday, my ojek suggest to go joints at 12pm, im abit skeptical since its too early but i just go along with the plan. We went to Indah2 at 12pm (Bro C bookmark 1) follow by MM and Happy, selection is minimal as i have expected, since its too early i told Mami from Happy that we come back later after we had our lunch, we went to sunda and return to Happy at 1pm plus. Selection are more but sadly most cmi, choices are milf, aunties type, i ask the mami, where are the young, small, fair types which i seen before on my previous visit, her reply was those wont come out early and it depends on the gals as and when they are ready for work so with that being said without hesitation we took off from Happy and went to Indah2 to book Bro C gal and i book my gal from Tulip which i bookmarked from yesterday.

Bro C 2nd gal name, F**** (indah2), 26 yrs old from jkt, price 1.3mil, can speak very fluent english and mandarin, will perform BJ but not BBBJ, 3 shots, nothing special. On a side note, Bro C found out whos the number 1 gal at indah2 (has the most booking & is super hot, pretty) which he book last month (recommended by me thou, lol) also another point to bring out, both gals from indah2 doesnt do bbbj, i wonder if all gals from that joint dont do bbbj or maybe Bro C is unlucky. Hopefully fellow bros could chime in.

My 2nd gal name A****** (Tulip joint), 24 yrs old from jkt, price 1.5mil (nego to 1.4mil) reach batam 1 month ago. I was surprise when she asks, lets shower together, which i cant remember the last time i had in batam (maybe beacause shes new thats why she offer this to me) also she always kept asking wana have sex everytime. Sadly wont do a bbbj but this was replace with her awesome tongue action on my both nips, nut shack right down to my prostate region (spent about 10 mins) i make an exception on her just because of this skills. She do cowgirl, missionary and doggystyle too.
My 2nd round is more or less the same so theres nothing to say much here. Sorry.

Overall im happy with this trip even thou im exhausted during the start of my 2nd day, Will give a visit at Sri Kandy again also saw alot of potential from Tulip after picking my gal, will definitely go there again plus Papi Abu is friendly as always and that is a bonus for me.

Thank you again for reading my long ass FR and as always happy cheonging.

Overall, this trip was very much better compare to the last trip. Biz hotel well located for those who wanna visit joint and massage joints by foot. Next trip will try out Da vienne Hotel.

Thank you for sharing,if you didn't comment on it,i wouldn't have known that your this trip is better than your last solo 1st trip. I hope to see your next trip better than this one.

Cheers!

I was there yesterday. Got a few very delicious young milf. Plus the female mummy accidentally self divulge here boobs size 36.

There is still gem to be found in Batam.

Completely agree with this statement! :D

Yes.. you're right.
Just Tell them you don't want breakfast voucher they will reduce 20k fr the listed price.
Do take note, 180k apply to Sun-Thu only.. weekend add 20k.

Thanks for the affirmation and the info on the extra 20k weekend charges. Some of my friends were more interested with their monthly stay and i recommend that to them. (3.5 million rupiah per month is cheaper than renting a room in Sillypore)

Please be considerate... Don't take the 4 rooms at ground floor. Oldman need it.. cos this hotel no lift.

No worries,i wont be staying there anytime soon. I am base mainly around the Formosa area of hotels. I prefer a 2nd floor room anyway (or an even higher floor if there is a lift) becos if there will likely have a window,i could then have an overview of whats going on outside the hotel. And much often,i like to know whats within where i stayed in too.

As a low cost hotel there are not Sound prove. You can clearly hear any conversation on the corridor. That mean ppl outside can also hear you.

No problem on that so long they have a LCD TV with HDMi connection. As long as no one complain about me making a lot of noise in my room will do. The sound of my room TV will cover the sound I made with my girl/s,hehehe...and believe me,its loud enough even before i plug in my speakers and sub-woofers.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/13/pqoC3.jpg

Avoid 204, 317 if you need to sleep fr 10pm-3am.

Sleep is for the weak in those hours (applies to me and my online gaming buddies only,unless I am not well),hehehe...my sleeping time were usually about 6am onward or after breakfast onward. Around 6 am sleep,10 am+ massage shops will call me if I want a session. That would have woke me up for a bit as I need to open the door for the massage girl to come in to massage for me while I carry on sleeping. i woke up again,at times by a bbbj. Finished massage and i will head for shower and head for lunch (at times,brunch).

Ya,they do hav the tendency 2 take their own sweet time which smtime let ppl mistook they've the cn't be bother attitude. Like eating in sm restaurants like tat,sm time the first dish comes only after half hr later. So,i tink a slower pace & lackin sm sense of urgency were part of their culture. Smthg we hav to learn to adapt to.

Yes,i agreed with you,and that one has to get used to their customer servicing culture. Lets not forget they also treat the locals and foreigners differently.

Jus dn't go tell the folks u r bringing along with tat thse places u r abt to bring em to were terrorist prompt places. U might scare the living hell out of em even b4 the trip commerce.

When i see your message,i really laugh it out. The fact is they already knew about the terrorist residing in Batam from the daily news in Sillypore. Well,i think they just feel safer with me around bringing them to places around Batam when i describe to them that touristy places were mostly carrot-chopping places too.

Name me 5 popular tourist places of Batam where there is a highest concentration of tourists. My say is :

1. Batam Center Ferry terminal (including Mega Mall)

2. Nagoya Hill Mall (including massage places in that area)

3. Golden City area where Golden Prawn restaurants were situated

4. Harris Resort and its ferry terminal (The Waterfront City)

5. NED - Nagoya Entertainment district

(i almost wanted to add Windsor Food court tho,but that place is only crowded after 9pm)

The rest of the places that was known to me,like BCS mall,Windsor Tua Pek Kong temple etc were just 2nd grade in terms of being crowded with tourists. Shh...i read in the news,terrorist were targetting Singaporean and Malaysians in Batam,so when i choose my top 5,i do take that into consideration.

Is just 5 hours enough for you? :confused:
You are not a bonk-and-go type... :D

Its enough for me to recce around 1st and to make arrangement during the day tho,hehehe...to look for what i want, so that my 'Cinderella' can come to my room later. Already tried and tested it on my 30th Batam trip (https://hive.am/30thBatamTrip) which works pretty well.

I suggest you set up a very tiring day program for your aunties and uncles, made of long hikes and walks for shopping and sightseeing. After 8pm, they will be exhausted and will head to their rooms to sleep. THEN, you will have all the night for yourself.

The problem with sightseeing is i need to be physically there for at least an hour or so but not on shopping and spa massage. Yes,i will want to wear them out too. Before your message,i am still pondering on the sequence of whether Spa Treatment 1st or temple visit and/or shopping 1st.

Now i know how the sequence should go,hehehe....thank you.

Wondering if the price is 1.6 million will you go for it?

nono1973

14-08-2016, 02:09 PM

ya very true... massage shops at utama area are getting more ridiculously expensive.

Already explain this part by putting myself in the massage girl's shoe as below,hehehe...

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14954552&postcount=3025

With people coming from Sillypore going there to do not-very-intelligent 'stunts',if you are one of the massage girl,you will also hike the price too. Standing from the massage girl narration,i would have felt the increase was too little. If i am them,i will up the price to 1 million rupiah for FJ and 500k rupiah for HJ,so as to go on par with Sillypore pricing (since many dont really bargain). Reason already given on the link above,hehehe...

(the lesser-intelligent boys forget that in Sillypore,the ambience,hygiene,cleanliness and atmosphere were way better)

Furthermore they will direct you to one of the room at level 3 of the shophouse which is troublesome and a hassle to walk up the steep staircase.

Most if not all massage places requires one to take the stairs upward to their room. So this is pretty much normal,even for men's spa too.

Furthermore, some of their vip room or even the super vip room hygiene standard was quite bad. Some of the vip/super vip room are outdated, run down, dirty and badly stain. No separate bathroom and bathtub looked horrible, see already also no mood to massage leow.

I agree with you on this one,but i would say not all of them were like your description but MOST ,hehehe...i have personally witness some of their VIP rooms even have cockroaches and mosquitoes too. Remember i mention in one of my summaries where the massage girl from the Utama area killed a mosquito and she just rub her hands on the side of the mattress before continuing to massage me with that very same hands that kills the mosquito...hehehe...sound gross huh?

If given a choice I would rather enjoy those in-house hotel massage to be done at the comfort in our own room and to enjoy a much cleaner and comfortable environment..

Completely agree with you on this part if the pricing is similar. With the increase in Utama area's massage pricing,the gap difference on both side has drawn closer,so it makes less sense for me to sweat myself all the way there to the Utama area for the time being. (at least till they drop their price)

One more cons is that the album of the massage shops at utama area that were displayed for customers, the photo taken does not resemble the actual look of the massage cewek, not even 50% look alike.

i usually dont pick or choose girls from album as most time,the one i pick (from album) ,the service level were mostly not very good (maybe its just me). Imagine this,if i pick a girl that has just service another customer (which most time is very likely to be if she look very pretty),her service level to me would almost never gonna be as good as her 1st initial customer of that day. Remember when i narrated myself from a massage girl perspective,i wont be serving the 2nd and other further-on customers any better since i already ate my 1st carrot. Lets not forget many girls at the Utama area of massage shops will likely have only 1 customer a day.

(i actually learned the above during my 2015 and 2016 CNY trip)

Solution : i just go by rotation to keep service level a little more consistent and everyone who work gets to eat.

Some of the actual massage cewek look much fatter, uglier, older or bigger than their look in the photo album...

There is actually a trick to all these. One of my method was to buy all the girls a drink (at a special timing),they come and thank me and i get to see all of them on that particular shift. 1 drink cost me about S$0.80 to S$1 tho (if they sells it). Most time one shift only have about 4 to 5 massage girls,excluding cashier. Most of the massage shops's girls has in one way or another seen me before hence i sometime says it here that they would have known me as a stingy but nice customer.

Please note i only buy drinks for all massage girls in a MP if i know i am going back to RTM again.

* there are few other ways to see all their working girls on that day and I may share it at a later time.

There is one more thing to add to why i would avoid Utama area of massage,it is their service level; more than 90% of the time they were NOT CONSISTENCE. I compare them with places like hotel massage,2nd tier massage places like Octpuss men's spa,which is more consistence in their level of massage service.

i agree that MOST MP are old... whereas there is one still new..

It will eventually become old due to the lack of consistent maintenance in about another year or 2.

Enjoy it while it last.

If u stay in UTAMA area can try request for room service from MPs around That area.
Do reminded that VIP rate still applied, even u don't use their(Mp) facility.

That, would be the next better option which may heighten the total massage plus special cost,hehehe... outcall usually cost double the menu price and sometime there is also a chance to meet girls who didnt like to do outcall. (they may have already got very good clientel from in-house massage and that bros may feel obligated to take up special service via "force-selling",hehehe...)

Nowaday,i seldom visit Madurani Massage or Indo Rasa anymore due to their market rate being badly spoilt (I used to get 100k dick massage in both places, but I couldn't do it today anymore) becos they were in a high tourist traffic area. i switched to quite a handful of popular known 'clean massage places' which I didn't mention a lot here. As for why I didn't mention much of their names here is becos I went there for special service, whereby most others probably woudnt be able to get since its technically clean.

Let's say, if I share in public that I get 150k hj and 350k in places like Spa Secret (example and illustration only), I am more likely to get flame for lying. :D )[QUOTE]

True. Also, because you know how to TCSS, be friendly and build rapport with these therapists. Who knows you may even get your standard 100k HJ and 200k FJ. That's also depend on your will power and staying firm in the first case. Of course, the risk is you get nothing at the end of the session. If you do and get the ball rolling, every time you go there with the same therapist, you get the same price with the exception of sometime giving extra 50k for tip.

Through TCSS and know the therapist has children, on subsequent visit, sometimes buying some biscuits, chocolate and treats from the supermarket as a surprise will sealed the bonding better. Most of the time always the same price (common understanding) and the service is always much better. This is the pro and the con is can be sticky.

(For info only and not for sharing the place)

[QUOTE=nono1973;14954552]
10 out of 10 bros who joined me in my trips know well I couldnt communicate in bahasa at all,hehehe...and bargaining do not require one to speak their language. In fact, i find it is an advantage for myself to bargain w/o knowing their language.

(the art of bargaining is to slowly give in little by little, the one who gives in to the opponent most lost the game. And language barrier may some time cause the massage girl impatient enough to give in to me totally)[QUOTE]

Agree. Even if you know Bahasa Indonesia, sometimes dee gong, dee gong can also be an advantage in this type of situation. That's provided the massage lady has yet to chop someone heavy and she wants the deal to go ahead.

Remember i mention in one of my summaries where the massage girl from the Utama area killed a mosquito and she just rub her hands on the side of the mattress before continuing to massage me with that very same hands that kills the mosquito...hehehe...sound gross huh?

The fact that the bathtub is just beside or near the mattress make you feel like as though you are lying down in the toilet. Sometime the bathtub wasn't clean properly and could see rusty part in it that really puts me off and not wanting to do mandi susu or milk bath there.

I think the bath tub of the 2nd tier massage place or Vienna spa or taiqi spa or even Formosa hotel room bath tub are much pleasant to have mandi susu than those massage place at utama area

i usually dont pick or choose girls from album as most time,the one i pick (from album) ,the service level were mostly not very good (maybe its just me). Imagine this,if i pick a girl that has just service another customer (which most time is very likely to be if she look very pretty),her service level to me would almost never gonna be as good as her 1st initial customer of that day.

Solution : i just go by rotation to keep service level a little more consistent and everyone who work gets to eat.

Yes some of the massage cewek at utama area feedback that massage business was real bad, some of them do not even have a customer a day, those with 1 customer per day is consider quite lucky already as the business there is quite competitive due to many massage shops opening up.

If you go by rotation, are you not afraid of being assigned an ugly duckling, female elephant or old witch to serve you, hehe.. just joking :D

There is actually a trick to all these. One of my method was to buy all the girls a drink (at a special timing),they come and thank me and i get to see all of them on that particular shift. 1 drink cost me about S$0.80 to S$1 tho (if they sells it).

Wise investment, spend 4-5 bucks can see all massage cewek face so in return can avoid those not so attractive ones, and take up those better ones...money is more well spend..

Another way to see the massage working girls without the need to spend a single cent is to look into the room where they rest...sometimes the room door was not closed...but may not have a good view of it...

There is one more thing to add to why i would avoid Utama area of massage,it is their service level; more than 90% of the time they were NOT CONSISTENCE. I compare them with places like hotel massage,2nd tier massage places like Octpuss men's spa,which is more consistence in their level of massage service.

Fully concurred with you. I ever had a good massage experience with one of the cewek in best and better massage (utama area). However, when I rtm for her again for the second time, the massage service was really bad, not following my request method of massage and her attitude has also changed unlike the first time. I felt that most if not all of the massage shops at utama area were not given proper full training on massage technique. Some of them just learn on the job.

But on the other hand, those hotel massage like King's massage of Formosa hotel, the massage cewek have a set of rules to follow and are more well diciplined:

1) They must be punctual for reporting to work and end work. 1st shift starts at 9am-7pm and the second shift starts at 3pm-1am.

2) They must put on make-up and look presentable, those massage cewek who did not make up will get warning from the boss.

3) They are to treat customer politely and any complaint from the customer will get them in trouble..

4) All the King's massage cewek have to undergo 1 month of probation, they will not be hired continuously if their performance is bad.

5) They were given proper training before they are allowed to start work. Their performance are also subject to review by the boss through customer feedback, etc

6) The massage ceweks are not so hard up for tips unlike some utama area massage cewek always pester for tips and special service fees..

It will eventually become old due to the lack of consistent maintenance in about another year or 2.

Enjoy it while it last.

One example is harbourbay mall.. Now becomes a dead mall with less than 40% of the shops are open and the rest are vacant. Fixtures and fittings in the mall were run down, the bridge connecting it to the ferry terminal was also leaking water..

Unlike a few years ago about year 2010 when it was just newly built, during the time when wavemaster ticket office was in one of the shop, we could see huge customer crowd in the mall.

Harbourbay mall can hardly revive to its old days due to the following reasons:

1) Wavemaster ferry ticket office is no longer there, that took away some of the customers to the mall.

2) The trade mix of harbourbay mall did not have much variety type and lack of advertising and promotion activity held in the mall.

3) Location was not ideal as it is located at the far north eastern part of Nagoya so the type of customer will be limited to majority tourists only sporean/malaysian who will need to go to the harbourbay ferry terminal next to it. On the other hand, Nagoya Hill Shopping centre is a very successful mall as the general public and even tourist will patronise the mall due to its wide variety of trade and its ideal location

4) There are wear and tear and lack of maintenance in the building.

5) The walkway from the bridge to the mall are dark and long (poor design)

6) The air-con was also not fully in operation ..quite warm.

7) The toilets were dirty and rundown and in need of a refurbishment or upgrading.

All of sudden massage place at utama area is bad. 60k per hr massage and 180k and above for vip room, you get what you paid with this low end prices but can still get 100j hj and 200k fj in utama area thou. Just saying.

THere are so many shops there offering massage. Most of the gals depend on specials for survival.

Hi all.. planning for a 2d1n trip on sept 14and15 to batam.. is it okay to right after hari raya haji. Will there be cewek ard. Going alone this time.

Don't worry,if hari raya puasa that day also can have cewek (but very much lesser),haji shouldn't have a problem & moreover u are going after 12th Sept which is weekday...u will be fine when it comes to variety of girls.

No problem on that so long they have a LCD TV with HDMi connection. As long as no one complain about me making a lot of noise in my room will do. The sound of my room TV will cover the sound I made with my girl/s,hehehe...and believe me,its loud enough even before i plug in my speakers and sub-woofers.

Miss those days when Queens & New Berlian were still around. When girls were just a stone throw away from this hotel. :)

Name: Bunga
Age 25
Joint: Permata Indah
Damage $1million rupiah

Thank you for sharing,bro Jack.

I know I have replied you but that previous post was a bit of a rush.

https://www.sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14914493&postcount=2892

I even mis-read the joint name and the girl's name too. So I am going to take my time to reply you today (after reading a few more times).

Weekend went to Batam for one night stay. Bad experience, never happen in my life before. Suspect to good to girl also can kena snook. 3 of us went there. Both of my buddy is luck but i got super snook of the year. Lesson learn, how experience you are you can never know you kena the heat.

I realize a lot of not-so-good-thing tends to happen during weekends and I moved my trip from weekends to weekdays on the latest one and all was back to normal. I don't mean all weekend trips are bad or all weekdays trip will be good, just that my luck seems to be better on weekday rather than on weekends.

I visit Permata Indah on my Aug trip and told the mami amd papi that their girls always like to lai ang,hehehe...(i made a joke out of their 'lai ang' girls which always happen after midnight linked it with some fairy tales), their reply to me is "this kind of thing very hard to say".

The mami/papi then throws that "lai ang query" to all the 20+ girls sitting in the 'tank',almost all the girls there laughed and some even stood up to shake both their hands signifying they wont 'lai ang'.There was some laughter there and Mami/Papi tells me, if I ever meet one that lai ang, can still call her for an exchange. So,always have their name cards around if you book their girls.

I did mention about their girls keep playing with mobile phones in the room and ignore their customers too. Seems like nothing much they can do about that.

Note : If you are in a room with a booking girl alone for a few hours and you still have not had a pop,you will be in the losing end becos nobody is going to believe you. (try looking from the OKT's perspective) And in that 1st few hours if you ask for a pop and the girl/s refused,a call to the OKT is then needed.

My story goes like this, our cewek came to our room at 1630hrs. All station at my room to do the chatting with each other to make them feel relax before we do our mission. We chat, jokes and play games to make them destress. Ard 1830hrs we call room services for dinner. We let the cewek choose what ever they want. We buy cigarette, drink and food of their choice. After makan we chat again until 1930hrs, both buddy go back to their rooms. So i start to do small talk with her if we can do our mission before karaoke at 2100hrs. She reply that she still full. So as a gentleman, I said ok we do it when we back from Karaoke. So i relax and watch Discovery channel. She play with her phone. At 2100hrs, Both of us went up to the karaoke and wait for my buddy to enjoy their sorties. Again, we so kind to ask the cewek to order anything, we will pay for it. After karaoke at 0030hrs, we went back to the room. My cewek went into the toliet and she came out and give me this excuse that her period came. I am piss off so i just go to toilet, take my bath and goes to sleep. Next day told my buddy if i get refund and my buddy said no refund because she stay one night with you. Btw if she have period 100% the bed will have blood since she dont have any tampon. Lesson learn, how experience you are, one day you too can kena snook.

Your schedule was actually more or less similar with mine. I think some bros who joined me in my Batam trips before and was reading your FR will find some similarities. Upon the girl's arrival at 430pm,and towards dinner time around 730pm,i will usually have had at least 1 round (sometimes even 2 rounds,hence I came down to meet them at lobby late,hehehe...).

Hmm...I also notice you went to KTV and order food from there? That would be a bit more expensive. Just curious, which hotel did you stay in? If you are in Formosa Hotel, you should take up their free membership in order to help reduce the price a little.

Latest news, I got from the 3 girls, they said Indian man they will reject and the reason they said that they are horny and rough. I dont believe that, because some of my indian friends is kind, friendly and generous. Because now days, more Indian PR and bangla go Batam to scout for cewek too, so because of few bad apple and experience, our bro from malaysia and spore Indian become the victim.

Err...bro,when they talk about Indian men,most time its not those more educated and well-mannered Indians. Its those foreign workers from Bangladeshi, Sri lanka and india that came to Batam once or twice a month during weekends. Most of these foreign worker's favourite joints were Permata Indah,Happy 8 and Bunga....with happy 8 having the most of them. Their favourites was few men book one girl and bonk her like no tomorrow yet with little or no tipping hence OKT often charge them at a price that includes tip. Which means you may have book a girl for 1 million,but the same foreign worker who book her will be charge 1.2 to 1.4 million rupiah. The OKT loves this group of customers becos they charge them more but a handful of girls in some ways detest them. Having said that, some Batam girls do LOVE THEM too,hehehe...

I have brought at least 3 indian bros (one of them was a Bangladeshi) from Sillypore to Batam,the girls they took don't complain at all and were willing to take their business.

(hmm...reminds me a group of Indian Foreign workers was trying to out-bid the price of a booking girl my friend booked 1st some months ago in Happy 8)

Question for bro Nono, can we get refund or what to do during this situation.Thanking you in advance. Sorry to tell my sad story here. lesson learn. Btw i can speak malay and indo, damn suah!!

I guess for this part,i already replied you :

https://www.sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14914493&postcount=2892

I do not know who is mami lily,but I talked to the mami/papi and one of them could speak Chinese/Teochew. (I am just not good at remembering names) Next time if you wish to book from there again,remind the OKT to check if their girls will lai ang upon payment booking or not ,hehehe...I think they will know "something" and probably laugh (a friendly laugh that may reminds them of me,hehehe...). A personal suggestion,check with OKT how long the girls been working there too. (girls who work there for long time already grown 'horns')

Hopefully this will help a little in your later trips too.

Cheers!

Now maybe also some customer keeps playing Pokemon GO on his phone and ignore the girl. If the girl is not a Pokemon Trainer, she might call back the OKT to complain and ask a replacement.

During weekends, there are more customers, the girls have a greater range of customers n tend to rush back for more customers, to earn more also.

It all depend on luck too, as there are many more girls in this line now. And more shops opening.

Can I sign up with your uncles/aunties group.

Sorry bro,its a private trip. I have always believe in affinity to meet up/link up with another bro,something like 有缘千里来相会 whenever fate and time allows it. I am actually looking forward to my Sept trip but Sept is still 14 days away from this post.

I think Tiban is not crowded..

Can bring them to Tiban TuaPakKong PaiPai at the same time ask them to walk walk the area to look for the rockets untill they found.

Yes,Tiban Tua Pek Kong is definitely a good place to be on.

Tiban temple, Sekupang temple and Batam center temple already inside part of my itinerary. I may be adding another temple if time allows :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/13/slxtm.jpg

I have brought no less than 15 people to the Tiban Tua Pek kong before and everyone seems to like it there.

The latest temple I am eyeing at now is the newly built Kong Zi temple in Batam Center area whereby they will be having a Grand opening ceremony on 27th Sept 2016. Confucius's birthday is on 28th Sept,hehehe...honestly speaking,i have not been there yet but I am expecting a big crowd on that day tho (27th Sept is a Tuesday).

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/17/xVBRe.jpg

Then you hve more time for yourself.

I have my itinerary in mind but the problem i have is what should come 1st and what should come later.

1. Temples to visit :

a. Vihara Buddha Maitreya at Batam Center

b. Tua Pek Kong,Windsor

c. Tiban Tua Pek Kong

d. KTM Resort Guanyin temple

2. Shopping Mall to visit :

a. Nagoya Hill Mall

b. BCS Mall

c. Nagoya City Walk

3. Massage/Spa

a. 5 hour spa treatment

b. Hotel foot reflexology

c. Outcall massage

4. Type of Food/Meals (7 meals)

a. 1 meal from Hotel breakfast

b. 2 lower end meals

c. 2 mid end meals

d. 2 higher end meal.

5. Perhaps a movie (if there are any Chinese movie screening then)

Batam is not a place where 1 day 2 day (or more) can finish touring,so i am not going to plan too many places in this one. Its still the 7th month,so Ex Vitenam camp isnt in my list tis time round.

So many places to choose to go in Batam,hehehe...but so little time and rushing is not an option (average age of the people with me were about 67 years old). Just rest and relax...taking things really slowly...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/13/TY7iH.jpg

...and there are many more not listed above. But I have to keep reminding myself,no rush, no greed and to take my time. And I shall leave some for their other future trips.

d. KTM Resort Guanyin temple

ps.

Personally, the tua pek gong windsor is my favorite. Very chun. Stories had it that if you are a first timer to batam, and first time to this temple, u can ask tua pek gong for 4d n chances of getting it are high. I heard much of it n met those who kena also.

Asking about problems, this place is also good, for chiams.

KTM resort Guanyin is another famous one, the story of the statue NOT being able to be shifted. Originally they wanted to shift by chopping into 3 pieces and reassemble, but the deity came into the assistant of the minister to tell him off, spoke in CHINESE.

Another good temple would be the one at hill top at galang island, former vietnam refugee camp. QUite a distance from Batam. Linked by the bridges.

Yes,i have read about the sad history of the Ex. Vietnam camp at Pulau Galang. I doubt I will be heading there this 7th month,dont wish to bring back "something" I didn't want to back to Sillypore.

I do have a question tho,the good temple you mention at the Galang island, is it the Guan Yin temple as below :

The current Galang camp Guan Yin temple look -

The same Guan Yin temple above's look a long time ago -

(according to the internet info)
http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/17/79rwF.jpg

...OR are you refering to the Buddhist Temple inside the camp itself (as below) :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/17/kM8oN.jpg

...that is very bear to the below sleeping Buddha statue.

*There seems to have quite a few other smaller scale temples in that area too.

Wat i gathered was Malays tends to 'service' them well. The rest will just let u think on yr own.

From wat i gather,indo working girl's fav tamu would be those from the middle-east Arabian countries with promises of a 'better life' back in their country. Btw,i'm Chinese & 95%+ of indo working girls served me well.

I tink it goes more with exp,not the race. :D

They even explain their pattern they do to those they dont like.

Would like to hear more of this. It's gng to b interesting to hear the 'patterns' they can come up with.

Just to name, 1 of the girls i heard, even took lots of hot red chili seeds in her mouth for her indian tamu who force her to do a bbbj.

Don't forget to also warn the fellow bros that if a deal is too good to be true..it probably is. ;)

I agreed with your statement.

I always try to see things from all angles. If I can get 200k to 300k a pop,and when Wechat/FL offers 400k to 600k a pop...well,the position where I stand to look at the situation will become very different. :p

But if a girl offers anything below 200k/pop,that I may start to smell something not quite right.

Nono... u got the joint wrong. The gals name is Bunga, from permata indah. I dont want u to go to bunga joint telling off thier gal who does not exists. Anyway well said and advice to that bro. Wish him the best in his next trip.

Thank you for correcting me.

Thank you....will check out their service my next trip.
Dun mind paying slightly more for express and most likely my load will definitely less than 1 kg. 2 pieces at most.

If you are staying in Formosa Hotel,try their laundry service. And if you are a regular-enough customer (silver card member),you get 2 pieces of laundry washed free,hehehe...anyway,its not expensive to wash a few pieces of clothings. (should not cost more than S$5 ,with next day delivery)

Just sharing.

Got her at the same place that Ah Peng is working now. My first impression is ... Is she even of (SG) legal age to be working in this line. Yup. The joint where my 21 years old smiley saw you picking up a cewe and followed giving me 夺命连环 call. No joke. I felt like a paedophile and I kept telling S about it. Mixture of good and bad stuff this latest trip.

Sounds good,but what was the 'bad stuff' part? The respond from Horizon ferry? If so,then try tweeting a little and make your trip better the next time round.

Hope not something supernatural,hehehe... (i said this becos i encountered something sort of 'supernaturally entertaining' in my last trip)

1. First time I ever walked to hunt and covered about 7 joints on foot;

Yes,this is healthy lifestyle. Leisure walking is always healthier than always sitting behind a bench. I was so attracted to a street performance in my Aug trip near DC Mall and i have almost the entire performance recorded. Took me a while to write my 31st Batam trip summary this time round becos of this and i am not rushing,hehehe...

2. First time exploring Alishan (or any form of proper ktv) in batam;

Next time try Algero KTV at Nagoya Citywalk Mall. Newer KTV with better sound system.Only setback is,no girls...no Mamis. Its a family KTV but well,if I already have a booking girl,i wont be bothered by if there's girls or mamis there. Cheaper too. Its 5 mins walk from Formosa Hotel,even shorter walking distance as compare from Formosa to Nagoya Hill Mall.

3. I actually enjoyed "following" what you did by offering to bring someone around. They say.. Teaching is also another form of learning. I'm not good enough to be a teacher, but, this experience of bringing a maybe-semi-newbie around the place had taught me much. May not be doing this for big group, but maybe 1 at a time if anyone is interested.

When it comes to going out together,there isnt really much teaching element. We all learn from each other. Others may see things that I have missed and vice versa. More importantly,one cannot always breathe in and dont breathe out or breathe out and dont breathe in,hence whenever i have a newbie group trip,there are Terms and Conditions (https://www.sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=13208424&postcount=30953) set which they need to read before they PM me to join me. More towards preventing any misunderstanding and conflict if a situation occur. (i kiasu ma,hehehe...) The golden rule is still to respect one another.

In my own mind,i always find Batam fascinating,be it booking joint,shopping,massage or go to places lesser touristy area. Everytime I go to 'places of interest',there is always new insight. Nowaday,i cut back a lot in bringing bros from this forum to Batam due to some bad timing on my part.However, I still bring colleagues,friends i knew online/offline and even relatives there too.

Honestly speaking, solo with small short link up with other/s is still the one of the better choice. Thats of course if the right chemistry and a common understanding has been reached.

Actually, 封神传奇 is already showing at Studio21 last week when I was there.

Its been quite a while since I visit Nagoya Hill Mall,hehehe... (terrorists may attack ma,hehehe...I scare to go. *joking*)

For the non-Chinese speaking,the above roughly means when i have 6 apples,i shared my 5 with others. It may appears that i have lost 5 apples,but i may likely made 5 friends and leave some good impression to more than 5. When the 5 or others have other fruits like orange,pear etc,i believe they will be willing to share them with me too. At the end of the day,i may be getting more than 5 different types of fruits,with getting more than 5 different tastes and colors. Not forgetting the friendship within it.

Looks like u r planning smthg notty there. Cinderella disappears after midnite wor.... :rolleyes:

Good luck,bro! :D

Solution : i just go by rotation to keep service level a little more consistent and everyone who work gets to eat.

Clever move! So no gers get all the cake while others go hungry. Cm to tink of it,the hungry they r,the harder they work. Tats where u can see their real skills. (tats y i say u clever!)

read below the quote to knw. :p

Yes some of the massage cewek at utama area feedback that massage business was real bad, some of them do not even have a customer a day, those with 1 customer per day is consider quite lucky already as the business there is quite competitive due to many massage shops opening up.

Don't tink SGrean auntie & uncle wld like the jackpot stations in btm as it might be too 'smoky' for them.

But if a girl offers anything below 200k/pop,that I may start to smell something not quite right.

Less than 200k a fuck in btm is still possible,fyi. :D

For the non-Chinese speaking,the above roughly means when i have 6 apples,i shared my 5 with others. It may appears that i have lost 5 apples,but i may likely made 5 friends and leave some good impression to more than 5. When the 5 or others have other fruits like orange,pear etc,i believe they will be willing to share them with me too. At the end of the day,i may be getting more than 5 different types of fruits,with getting more than 5 different tastes and colors. Not forgetting the friendship within it.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away,hehehe... ;)

Wat if they took yr apples & din't return? There're many who only wants to take & don't wish to gif back.

U miss out 1 part where it says giving up is smtime a kind of wisdom,imperfection is a kind of grace.

I don't like it and I find it too expensive for the value provided, but 99% of "upper-class" girls in Batam LOVE to be invited to DE PATROS, on the sea at Harbour Bay. Dimmed light, nice atmosphere, .... Perfect for romance.

It happened me many times, when I asked "where could we go tonight for dinner?" to hear back "De Patros!". Of course, after I tried it once, I always declined the proposal. I prefer Wei Wei if I want to spend money to eat at Harbour Bay. But they love it... :rolleyes:
In short: the place is considered very classy; take there a girl if you want to impress her and she is somehow important for you.

I agreed with your statement.

I always try to see things from all angles. If I can get 200k to 300k a pop,and when Wechat/FL offers 400k to 600k a pop...well,the position where I stand to look at the situation will become very different.

But if a girl offers anything below 200k/pop,that I may start to smell something not quite right.

Good suggestion. There are wechat scams in batam too.

31st Batam Trip
(on 3rd Aug to 5th Aug)

In reference to my 30th Batam Trip (https://hive.am/30thBatamTrip)

This trip starts off with a certain phobia of my last Batam trip which wasnt as good as I was expecting it to be. But well,as always,it turn out better...or the least better than the last one. I went solo on this one and linked up with a few bros who has been relatively quite regular to Batam.

The usual 1st thing I normally do after stepping out of the custom will be to head to my pre-booked hotel, head to the money changer to turned myself into a millionaire before heading for brunch. Then I went to search for this place called Sri Kandy...

(edited photo below was extracted from bro BFOMF5 posting)
http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/3npBS.jpg

I do not have plans to take any girls from there yet but just to go there to look look see see becos I already have other plans. This place during the early noon has got some of the better girls ranging from 1 million rupiah to 1.2 rupiah. In my opinion,all 6 of them in it has a minimum 7/10 look. The mami there told me all the girls were not there in full force yet and most were getting ready to come down. No time to sit around this time round to wait for them,so I left after 10 mins.

And there is another massage shop called something like Sweet Massage just about 30 steps nearly opposite this Sri Kandy Massage. I have pass by this place quite a few times, perhaps in my next trip I will take more time to get a closer look into it. (I wasn't exactly keen on massage places around the Utama belt area since to me, its getting more expensive)

Next place I head to was the 'joint' almost behind New Berry. Hmm...looks like they have quite a few girls there,hehehe...not bad as most of these very young innocent-looking girls were at 800k to 1.2 million rupiah. Didn't pick anyone from there either and head to Permata Indah to look for Bunga. Upon stepping in,papi/mami can tell me how good and how good their girls were,hehehe...I suan them a bit jokingly that nowadays their girls were all like Cinderalla,hehehe...and their girls were more like Snow Red (illustration of Snow White) instead...always "lai ang" during or after midnight. Didn't have anyone in mind and before I left,i reminded the papi that if their girls keep playing Snow Red game (excuse used to avoid sex from paying customers),they will eventually lose all new potentials and regular customers becos people knows and words do spread around.

Next stop was to head to Gold Bird. Not bad,all their previous girls were back from Hari Raya holiday and I was surprise to see a handful of new younger girls too....and a few were at 19 with a GND-look. I wasn't serve by A-dick-son this time round (quite surprise not to see him actually),but a Chinese mami came by who keep pushing me to one of the two 19 year old there,telling me their service is how good and how good,hehehe...I didn't take any of them but took a 22 year old semi SYT at 1 million rupiah for the 1st night and 900k for the 2nd night (I didn't decide to extend until next morning).

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/VQqJm.jpg

The semi SYT just came back from her Hari Raya Holiday on 1st Aug,start work on 2nd Aug and I happen to be her 1st customer since she came back. Anyway,i tell mami and her that my driver will come to pick the girl in the later noon. Next stop,becos I forget to bring a mouse for my laptop,i head over to a shop beside Holiday Hotel to buy one.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/CGvJK.jpg

It cost me 35k...not bad a price for a simple basic mouse. My original retractable mouse was due for EOL (end-of-life),and I was glad I forget to bring it with me.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/qQFVk.jpg

Next trip,i am likely to visit this shop where I bought my mouse again becos I have yet to completely explore the whole shop yet. No,i didn't take any photos of the shop front but its just beside Holiday hotel, so it wont be difficult to find them again. They seems to be selling a lot of PC hardware but I still have a feeling that DC mall would be a cheaper option. Nonetheless,due to the convenience of it all,i may likely frequent this place for my future hotel room set-up,hehehe...

22-08-2016, 03:37 PM

I was glad the beginning of my 31st trip starts out smoothly,so after I am cleared off with everything I think I need to do,i head over to Tua Pek Kong to pray a little before heading back to room to await my girl.

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/09/TBK.gif

The video wasn't taken by me but I cut it out from some website...to do some testing on what is to come for my future trip summary, hehehe...hope one day I can conquer all the problems I am facing on my own summary now,hehehe...and I pray to Tua Pek Kong in hope that this Batam trip will be a smooth and good one. And I was glad at the end of it all, it did.

At the later noon,my girl arrived,had a pop 1st before heading to get a hair cut at X-Salon...but well, my hair stylish wasn't in and so I head for a massage not-in-utama area nor BCS area before heading for dinner at A2 food court w/o my girl.

Initially was planning to go for the movie Suicide Squad at Harbour Bay Mall but Blitz theater has not screen that movie yet (during then only BCS,Nagoya Hill Mall and Mega Mall is screening it).

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/03/MARGOT-R.gif

So I forgo watching the movie and went ahead to do "other stuffs" with my girl. I learn from her that from Batam to her hometown actually took 19 hours to reach even when she travel by plane. The bus journey were the one that took the bulk of the time.

It was OTOT all the way until around midnight,i called in massage service for myself and my girl at 90k/hour (multiply by 2 pax). The rest of the overall evening till next morning was satisfactory enough which makes me decide to extend her service for another night the next morning where I will pay her 900k (bargained with her) whereby she will bring to her joint with my room key and comes back later on her own before 2pm. Quite justifiable since she left after 1030am. At this point,do note there was zero tipping. However I did pass her 100k for her lunch and her transportation to go and come back later.

I called for an 1.5 hour foot reflexology, took a short nap thereafter before being awaken by some fingers teasing my little bro to have special service. I took it at 200k (with full strip and full roaming),rest a bit and then extend another hour of full body massage (after the special was done) with the massage girl still in complete nude.

After getting all body-maintenance done,head for brunch at Ibu joko. I goes back to room for a bit before heading over to Nagoya Citywalk Mall to make a spare pair of glasses (in case one day my current one gives way).

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/pVCk3.jpg

Cost me a whopping 825k rupiah with all the frame and lenses in. I remember the last time I made my glasses in China (ages ago) only cost me about S$30 a pair,hehehe...of course the quality of this one (the frame) I made was clearly of a better quality. Comparable with the S$50 a pair which I am wearing today,also got it from China. (sorry,i have the habit of making comparison base on quality and pricing from different countries which sells things cheaper) I used to be an optician at a very young age,so when it comes to spectacle quality, I do know what I am after (as usual,i look for best of everything in but aim for low low price).

My original plan was to make 2 pairs if they are cheap enough but well...it isn't.

Grab my favorite burger in one of the push-cart-look-alike shops there....

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/0mU4S.jpg

I took the Chicken Burger with egg for 16k....and while eating, I continue to shop around that area. Hehehe...the burger were in such a large portion. Believe me,for someone who could take in 3 to 4 plates of rice in a meal,and when I say its in large portion,it is REALLY LARGE enough,hehehe...

Now,for the next part of the summary will be more onto my walk in Nagoya City Walk,a less populated place in Batam where I believe even the stupidest of all terrorist cannot be bothered to step into...its a weekday I was there,and the whole mall was hell of a ghost town.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/oRnE0.jpg

Just look at how quiet this place is even during the day (last time i was there was night time),it a video I took in my recent trip and had it convert into animation to better tell you how the place is like :

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/09/Citywalk1.gif

How fun it would be to be the ONLY ONE (or the only group of people) playing with all their facilities in this place,hehehe...

No,not going to repeat or elaborate much on the Fun World itself as I already had a write out on this in my last trip with the booking girlsss. So in this summary,it is going to be more on the 3D Art Museum...and at the entrance of 3D Art Museum...there's a signage that state the price for entry...wow! So expensive! Apparently,its carrot pricing when locals were charge 80k per entry and tourist were charge 150k rupiah. Too expensive for me,so I didn't enter....

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/WeUsY.jpg

It seems like this 3D museum thingy was quite a big event and that it would take some big organization to actually bring this event in to Batam. Now,make a guess who were these organization?

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/Ng8sj.jpg

See,these are the bigger hotels that brings this thing in. No wonder its so expensive (in Batam term) and with that pricing,they really took tourist as carrot. But then again,w/o these big organization,Batam wouldn't have had their Indonesia 1st 3D Museum present to us here...

Don't worry,tho I didn't pay to get in to the museum,i have ways to get in there to look at their exhibits for FREE,hehehe....sorry for being stingy,but I am just the type of person that if I am stuck on a straight route,i will try to work around it....hehehe...whole idea is, NEVER GIVE UP....keep reading on....

22-08-2016, 03:38 PM

Hehehe...i was too poor to pay for the entrance (ok I admit, i am stingy,hehehe...) So my next alternative will be to take the escalator up to the 3rd floor of this place to have a full view of their exhibits,hehehe...

All their exhibits were practically collected below and believe me,its not worth paying 150k rupiah to look at these 'stuffs' unless you are a selfie-craze. I didn't like taking photos and photography is definitely not one of my strong point in real life. And the reason for all the photos here was becos I was trying to convey a message (to myself) and I have always hope to make things simple and easy to understand for those who reads it. I hope also to bring what I physical see during my trip into a reader's view too (i am still working on it). An easily understandable summary gives me a clearer picture of the past event of the trip and it also help me to keep record of the fond memories I had as well as the not to make the mistakes I made before.

(I constantly need to refer back to my own summary, so I need to make it easily understandable)

Ok,ok...enough talk...scroll down to take a look...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/82TrS.jpg

Even if you were to go there to look at those exhibits in person,i believe you wouldn't be missing much from the above photo,hehehe...see, super stingy me bypass paying the entrance fee by heading to the 3rd floor of the building and view all these exhibits for FREE!

In case no one realize,Fun World was on the ground floor,and the 3D Museum was on the 2nd. I took those photos above from the 3rd floor of Nagoya City Walk Mall. If the organizer were to down their price to about 50k rupiah,i may even consider bringing the booking/massage girls to go there take seflie,hehehe... (most Indonesia girls seems to have an addiction of taking their own photos)

Below is a video news/intro on this 3D Art Museum end of last year when it 1st started....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9gCfEDZ3R4

I have a thought at this point,were they even able to cover the cost of the staffs working there? For those who wish to visit this place,better hurry before it is closed since they have been having this 3D Art Museum thingy for quite a while already and it sure doesnt look like its a sustainable business.

After all the walk "around" in the 3D Museum,i continue to explore this place...

..I head over to J.Co to da bao (aka buy back) something back to hotel to eat as I assume my girl would be coming back to my room soon. (just in case she decide to save the lunch money I gave her earlier and choose not to spend on her lunch)

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/10/wtsOf.jpg

Think I am done with almost all the things I need to do in Citywalk but I will need to come back to the same place to collect my specs the next day. Until then,i will be back again...which I have more to share on this place. I came over to Citywalk mainly for a hair cut at V salon since my special X-Salon hairdresser isn't in and then also to make a pair of spare glasses.

All mission accomplished but the Citywalk tour is far from over becos i still need to come back the next day to collect my prescription glasses,hehehe...

Before I head back to hotel room,i went over to DC Mall to grab a wireless port...I have work to do back in the room,hehehe...

Before i even reach DC Mall...oh well...i chance upon some street performers who was conjuring some indonesia unknown called the Pochong to have it possess a man.

(in case no one notice,DC Mall is just right beside where they perform)
http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/14/giphy.gif

Believe me,i know this is a bluff...but the fact i stood there for more than an hour to watch the street performers perform shows that the show was pretty good. And i think the performers did a pretty good job.

Honestly,this summary is going to be quite long with me just trying to explain most part of their performance. Please keep in mind that i do not understand their language and that there is a need for me to see most part of the show before i can understand what they were doing. And its broad daylight of a late afternoon with the sun still up in the sky.

Lets move nearer to have a closer look,hehehe...

1st performance,he release the top part of the milky-looking sack of bag holding the man in it which was known to have been possess by a spirit of a pochong. (please note that the man in the bag was also being tied up from the inside by many ropes)

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/Kqi3.jpg

The next thing is he gets some help from one the audience to tie the milky-looking sack of bag from the outisde...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/hG07.jpg

...and have him move closer to the tent and the supposing altar of the Pochong Spirit.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/QzoPg.jpg

After which,the magician aka performer chanted something for a min or so and begin to move the tent-like looking thing (which is just beside the man in that sack) over to the man in the milky-looking sack....

The magician simply walked over to the tent and pull out the milky-looking white sack from the tent...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/3DOYb.jpg

...and then have it shown to the man who tied it. I believe he is asking the man which is supposingly an audience in the crowd if its the same knot he tied on the sack. Do note that the milky-white sack has been pulled out with the knot still intact to the sack.

For the next performance,its the shirt changing performance....the man in the milky-white sack has been unveil from the tent and do note that he is being tied up since the beginning of the show....and also do TAKE NOTE of the colour the the shirt the man wore. It is in RED now.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/V6WUa.jpg

The magician aka performer is going to change his shirt,a Red one to a black one while still being tied up...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/EPS9Y.jpg

...and again,he the tent is used to cover....

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/rGdH.jpg

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/tFjQs.jpg

...and Ta! Da! The colour of the tied-up man's shirt has been changed from Red to Black,hehehe... (as below)

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/SaiV9.jpg

The last and final performance was about untying the man who has been tied up...1st,they cover him with the tent again...

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/14/giphyVgJ41.gif

...and when they remove the tent once again...

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/14/giphy_1.gif

...the ropes that tied the possessed man was untied. And he woke up and walks away...hehehe...

Well,i stayed around for a bit to see whats next. And there seems to be nothing much except the magician trying to sell some potion that is made of some kind of herbs known to relieve muscle and joint ache.

Ok,for that more than 1 hour of performance under a hot late afternoon sun,must really give the guys performing some credit. They have been there before i arrived,and i when i left,they are still there. So likely is, they must have been there for more than 2 hours,maybe even 3.

For such hardwork,i think must support a bit since the bottle of "magic" potion only cost 20k rupiah.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/mP1iE.jpg

The scent of this so called magic potion was like any 跌打药酒 aka herbal alcohol for external injury. And please do not think its cheap stuffs. For that bottle size that small,selling at 20k rupiah and if you compare it with some medicated oil sold in Silypore for S$3 or S$4. It is actually more expensive in content size. Good profit for the performing magician but base on the number of bottles he sold,i did a count and i would say it is less than 300k sales figure he is getting. (he sold a little more than 10 bottles)

I do note down the number of performers in this show. There were 3 from the physical eyes. The main Magician himself,his assistant and the guy getting possessed by the Pochong. And who knows,there may be another one more man/boy hiding in the "Tent" itself,hehehe...to help untie the milky colored sack and the rope that ties the man when its being used to cover the possessed man (a 'tent' that size do not require 2 men to move it).

Proceed to DC Mall to buy the some IT stuffs i need...

Formosa Hotel gives me a discounted stay on a suite room for 2 nights,minus-ing 140k per night stay,i use the excess money to fix some stuffs and this thing cost me 120k rupiah after bargaining from the 1st quote cost of 150k. So far,so good. Its what i visit DC Mall for,and manage to get what i needed.

Sun is setting soon,i need to get back to room. Thereafter, its OTOT till dinner time. Was fixing some computer stuffs after the OTOT and didnt actually have the time to step out of dinner,so i just order from hotel.

Only then did i realize that Formosa Hotel restaurant has hike up all their menu prices. No more 20% and there is a slight increase in almost everything. So if i arent a member,i am more likely to need to pay the full price.

I have already said before,the membership were just gimmicks to lure non-regular customers. They increase their prices by more than 20% (they took away the 20% off plus increase their prices a little in every item in the menu) and then members gets 10% off. So i am now paying extra 10% plus if i ate in hotel.

Something i learned.

The next morning,called down a massage girl to have a massage,showered after i am done and then head over to Nagoya City walk to collect my pair of glasses.

At this point,i will have to keep my eyes on the right hand side while still walking straight until i see an Yellow Deity Altar that house the 4-face Buddha and tilt a little rightward while continue to walk straight....and i should see the below :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/atGT3.jpg

...and in the last photo above,i walk beyond the 4 face Buddha Altar and out of Formosa Hotel by turning right...i will only see one road,simply follow that road out...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/2VKC1.jpg

I see some rundown salons and eateries along the one straight road and as i follow the road out...Ta! Da! Nagoya City Walk Mall is finally within sight!!

And continue walking towards the Nagoya Citywalk signage to reach here...

I was kind of sure at this point ,people may be asking whats the inside of the 4 Faced Buddha altar looks like,here we go :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/dWyNQ.jpg

Believe it or not,having been to Batam for so many times,this is only my 2nd time i been into this altar. And its my 1st time i lighted a joss stick to pray to the Buddhas. Photos above were taken from both corner of the altar,the middle photo was a place where their joss stick is place for worshipers to light it up. Its a really small altar but neatly kept...its the only 4 face Buddha i have seen in Batam.

I think i need to visit this place more often,since i often stay around that area. (this place is so near yet often seems so far,hmm....)

I continue my walk towards Nagoya CityWalk...and up the stairway of the building leading upward,the 1st shop i see...

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/IAKWn.jpg

At this point i saw a set of stairs and thought maybe i should go take some photos of where i came from...hehehe...i walked up to the 3rd floor and grab a few shots from the top down.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/OTiHV.jpg

All in all,the walk takes no more than 5 mins....so there is really no reason not to walk unless its raining. Why am i writing down the walk through from Formosa Hotel to Nagoya Citywalk in my summary. I have my reason,i need to keep a record of this walkthrough as there is a Family KTV i have been eyeing at,hehehe....yes,the name is Alegro-f KTV. And the entire Nagoya Citywalk was also lesser touch by tourist too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guZnT5_CZzg

This place is located on the 3rd floor of Nagoya Citywalk Mall.

...and the latest price list for Alegro f-KTV

i pick this up from the KTV itself
http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/15/Cgu1.jpg

Thru my 2 years in Batam,i have been thinking. If i already have a booking girl with me,why would i want to pay for the KTV girls and be bothered by the KTV mamis or their waiters if i wish to spend some time in a KTV with good sound system. Many like myself,dont drink and paying a higher prices for drinks we dont like to drink dont seems to make economic sense. And this seems to be a good solution to it.

Anyway,went into the KTV during early noon to have a look on whats inside :

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/15/Formosa_to_Citywalk_2.gif

Indonesia National Day on its way,hence your see all the small/big flags hung up.

Walk around to look at some places that are worth my time for lower than normal price items.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/16/egPQX.jpg

The whole mall is like a ghost town,hehehe...which fits my criteria of a non-crowded place. As i always said it,only when i am running solo,can i really take my own sweet time to dwell in places in order to get to know them better. Booking joints,Massage Parlor and Malls all alike,hehehe...and this is what i do.

Bought a burger ,and ate it there before heading to their toilet to get my hand wash. Hehehe...something cropped up there tho,there was no water from the tap...

Its time to go home...and for the 1st time,i took another exit out of the hotel,tho i have knew about this a long time ago.

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/16/Formosa_Staffs_entrance.gif

...and off to Harbour Bay ferry terminal and i'm due for home sweet home, completely satisfied with my 31st Batam trip,hehehehe... (and i can now plan for my next Batam trip)

~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~

My thoughts for this trip :

This is more of a satisfactory trip,good yet not the fantastic type. Me and the girl i booked,she basically stayed in my room all the time,no trouble of any sort and we watched a movie together...yes,in my room on my bed and in total nude.

(keeping tab on this one for other Batam girls)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSz4P497SUc

Took me a while to find some nice Chinese youtube movie that has bahasa indo subtitle as above. It just happen that i have a mini-in-room home theater,so everything i needed was there on the 40 inch LCD TV. And she picked a movie called Palasik. Its an indonesia movie but w/o subtitle,so she has to explain to me the story. At the least my booking girls and myself has somehow build up a common interest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHlQdfPdA6Y

In this trip,i have been able to build up some level of chemistry with my girl helping her to understand me better (at the same time allowing me to understand her) so she can better serve me 'in bed'. And as much as i have a good time with her,i believe she is also having a good time too.

i dont try to solve all problems by tempting the girl/s with monetary gain,hehehe...and i notice,the lesser i pay,the better the service i got for myself. Its not the 1st time this technique is used and i am sure it wont be my last.

Putting down notes here for my later reference.

I did not pick my girl from the usual conventional 'fish tank' itself,its a fish tank joint where nearly every girl would be on displayed but this girl wasnt in it,hehehe...is that their 镇店之宝 aka cream of the masses? Well...to each its own. (if her service level fits me well,she's the cream and if it doesnt,then she's not) Overall rating for her, not counting in her 7.5/10 looks,i would rate 6.5/10 max. Nothing fantastic but what more can i ask for paying 1 million rupiah for the 1st night and 900k for the 2nd from a 22 year old girl.

Slowly,each step a time,i am starting to learn more. And there is so much i do not know about Batam. And i am still learning...

Additional notes (for my future reference) :

Hmm...one of the least visited place hidden quite far away from the Nagoya area... (testing testing 123). And its in Batam.

http://www.uploadphoto.nu/images/2016/08/18/UV1BCiLg.gif

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/18/BuJEU.gif

What i cover in this trip was the 'inside' of Nagoya Citywalk mall,the walkabout of some of the cheaper joints and massage places around. I look forward to covering more places in my future trips. It seems i learned something here which i didn't know exactly how to spell things out...and i am slowly changing the ways i write my summary.

Hmm...i may need to go get a pair of google glasses,hehehe...it looks like i am trying to turn this summary into a "1st person shooting game" viewpoint. Still working on it...argg...grrr....so much to do and there are so much limitation and obstacles. Haiz...

24-08-2016, 05:13 PM

First time going to btm base on yr walkthrough guide (like play game like that),following all yr guide book,took a ferry to HB in the morning with a fren,reach Formosa using taxi from terminal..check-in & then walk over to opp of this hotel sinar bulan to have quick lunch before using yr map to walk to Gold Bird. Took us abt 30mins to finally locate the gold bird KTV base on 1 of the pic u show before. There was abt 12 girls,my fren took 1 & i tht since we only first time here,tht i should pay another joint a visit. We walked to New bery joint with the map provided by u & i took a girl there at 1.3 mil rp. My fren girl from golden bird is 1.1 mil rp. Here's my short

Glad to know you manage to find Gold Bird after some hardwork,hehehe...that place not easy to find and yet it has nearly 100% book out rate. Next time,you just need to go to Batam Star Hotel,try to walk to the back of the hotel and opposite it the back of Batam Star will be Gold Bird.

I cannot describe Gold Bird to be exactly behind Batam Star Hotel becos behind Batam Star Hotel is another building but they almost STICK back-by-back with the hotel. And almost directly behind that "back-by-back" building is Gold Bird KTV. It has no sign board...which makes it even harder to find.

After choose our girl,we walk to Nagoya Mall for a bit of shopping,buy koropok,CDs and necessities from super market. Walk back hotel again to wait for our girls to arrive.

Good to know you learned how to walk from Formosa Hotel to Nagoya Hill Mall,its my 1st lesson I taught in most of my Batam beginner's trip. Go for a walk,get a feel of the Batam air,its people around and traffic.

Get a feel of the atmosphere there.

Dinner was taken inside Hotel at Tea Story as it was rainy outside,next morning breakfast at hotel. Lunch was at Instar hotel coffee shop because when we walk back from new bery yesterday,we saw the hotel & so planed our next day lunch there. After breakfast,we both tried call room massage from kings (we didn't opt for special) before head out for our planned lunch. The noodles recommended here was good,beter than many in SG. After lunch,we walked back to hotel,check out room & then take a taxi back to harbor bay for home sweet home.

Many food places just surrounding the hotel itself,next trip if it aren't raining,try walking out of hotel front door and turn right instead of left. This trip I notice you turned left from the hotel front door more. Turning to the right from the hotel front door,you will see lucky plaza,walking straight downward after passing by Lucky Plaza you should notice a few eateries. You will then see Mickey Mouse Bak Kut Teh (during the day time before sunset) and New Siang Malam sea food (night falls) there. Further down another about 200m and turn right,you should see Da Vienna Hotel.

Along the way as describe to you above,you should notice quite a few eateries and even mini-mart. Enjoy exploring.

End of my 2D1N batam FR as promised. I will be going again on Aug/Sept but this time may try Happy 8 or try walking to other booking joint. I see in map Happy 8 also very near Formosa hotel,likely i stayed in same hotel again & will move around more within the area by foot. In this trip,we only took 2 X taxi ride from ferry terminal to hotel (40k rp) & then from hotel to terminal (50k rp).

I kind of like the way you planned your trip. No rush,take each step a time,no need to rush for time to so many places in one day as we all ultimately have only 1 dick. 1 session and 2 to 3 bonks from our overnight booking girl/s,we will most probably be 'spent'. By going to too many joints in a single day,you may have probably miss out on their best timing where all their girls were there. You might be blurred by the "too many" choices too.

Worse,if the walk is gonna make you too tired to bonk later,hehehe...

Thk u everyone here for all the tips & thks to nono for the guide.This is my first trip there & I hope to go btm again.My fren seem like enjoy himself & also wan to go again. Thx every1 for reading,hope i didn't bore any1 as this is also my first fr in the forum. i'm sorry in advance if u don't like it.

Thank you for keeping your words to share a review. Like I always say,everyone shares a bit (be it a good or bad trip result),everyone gets a chance to learn to make their next trip better each time and avoid making same mistakes others have made. With some luck,everyone wins.

May your next Batam trip be better than this one.

Cheers!

It was great reading your posts.
For a semi-retired player like me, certainly brings back good memories from your write up.

If time permits, maybe we can meet up for kopi or bir in bxm.
Btw, I'll be in bxm this coming Friday till next week.
Do drop me a pm if your schedule permits.

Cheers!

Glad to see u back....

Seems to hv this problem.
After visiting Batam almost every other weeks and passport full of Indo chops, its seems its taking longer to clear custom.
I got asked where I staying?
What am I doing in Batam?
And lately why I come Batam so often.
Anyone hv this problem?
I believe you all more frequent than me.
What's the solution before they pull me into the room or send me back?
Will get ban or not?

Too bad batam not like jb have the mac else, there will not be so many chop in the passport. Their need to have a work permit then able to apply.

As for asking, i think this period because of all those conflict and thing happen, that y they ask.

First thing to do is to not look suspicious because worried without reason.
If you introduce yourself to the custom officer with a scared face, all sweat, get all red when they ask you "why are you coming here?" and you are not able to say anything valid, you are candidate to be questioned more in depth.

I don't see where is the problem. When I am asked why I go to Batam, I smile and I reply "Relax and meet my friends". What else??

Yes, usually, they see the person face, n then the chops. Nowdays, computers. They can track how many days you been in Indonesia for past 365 days. If you are there for short time each trip, usually they know u there for what. Those long term stayers will face a bit more trouble, like 1 month each time n back for a month, multiple times. Unless you got a business visa. each time you can stay up to 2 months.

Hard to give you a good advice if I don't see you (just looking a person, one can understand a lot about his attitude, experience, weaknesses and ability to find or avoid troubles).
However, assuming you can orient yourself and are experienced travelling abroad, best pubs for me is No Name, best disco is Newton (second Pacific and Planet 3, last Planet 1).
Read my series of reports (don't tell me you can't find them) to see what is my experience there and why I suggest the above and for what. Enjoy.

The Acacia Hotel
(Sekupang area)

This hotel seems new to me,but yet it doesn't look new. It claims to be a Pet-Friendly hotel too...well,hope it has no problem surviving (i doubt many will bring their pet for a tour). Nonetheless,there seems to have a golf course near by. Its likely more of a hotel for golf-lover ,i guess. There was no pricing as yet but since they were rated as a 3 star hotel,i guess it wont be costing too much. Looks like another quiet cosy hotel at Sekupang area with lots of natural habitants to me. Has everything a normal 3 star hotel will have ,like Wifi,24 hour reception, in-house massage etc.

In case no one notice,there is a head of an Egyptian Pharaoh at the front of the hotel.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/07/13/50MH.jpg

Just read a few reviews from tripadvisor,looks like this place doesnt garner much good review and mostly due to poor maintenace of their facilities. The interior does look a bit like Sentosa Hotel thats quite near to Nagoya tho (almost behind Goodway hotel),hehehe...seems like due to the limited number of room in this place,the hotel room is often sold out fast.

Why on hell they should ask such a question on your private life?
The most normal thing one may do when visiting Batam is to enjoy nightlife, food, relax and meet friends. I cannot imagine any activity which is more regular and normal.

Will this answer work?
I think you (I say "you", but I don't think you really think all that, you are just posing the case) are so much over-planning and over-excusing yourself, that you are doing the best possible to look guilty of something.
If I were a Custom Officer and I face someone so scared and nervous (I imagine from your questions above) for sure I would investigate in depth what is the reason of all that. Drug smuggling? Money laundering? Escaping from Singapore because sought for murder?

Honestly, if someone has the feeling of doing something culpable and shameful just for passing the border, there is something wrong with the approach to Batam. He better stays at home reading SB to imagine how adventurous is the Frontier down there....

Guys need some advice.. this is my third trip to batam and my second solo one.. planning to go for a 2d1n.. my itenary is simple.
1) Book a gl through joints.(i alrdy know where are the joints)
2)shopping at nagoya hill mall.(this one i also know thru the guides how to go.
3) want to adventure out ALONE at nite. To bars or pubs. Which is btr to go alone? Any recommended ones.

Take a motorbike to Hotel Harmuni in Kampong Bule. After that look for a pub called P P Bananas, The Oarhouse, and several others along the road stretch. All lively, happening, and safe. Some have live band. Take a peep, if you don't like leave. Else stay and buy a drink, chat with the girls. After they close, you can proceed to the discos e.g. Pacific, Newton etc.

And for all this 3 which is the better hotel i could stay. I prefer sth tats walkable to nagoya shopping ctr and ned. I know formosa is one. But i dont wish to go there agn due to some unpleasant memory.
Seeking advice from bros here. Tks in advance.

Try Grand iHotel in Nagoya Hill. Nice, clean and two min walk to Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall.

I don't see any problem when you named any of the above as long as you don't act suspicious and feel nervous in-front of them. Just smile and greet them politely will do.

Normally, before the Custom Officer stamp your passport, he will surely glance at you for 2 to 3 seconds. Most of the time they don't ask question except for which ferry you came in. Suppose you belong to the fast hand fast leg kind and reach the counter before others did and the Custom Officer did not see any passenger streaming in, he will ask you slightly more questions like "why do you come to Batam" and "go where".

I will normally say "Nagoya Hill Mall" and they answered for you saying "shopping". I told them "makan" and he said "did you try ayam penyet" which I think he was referring to Ria Ayam Penyet.

After visiting Batam almost every other weeks and passport full of Indo chops, its seems its taking longer to clear custom.
I got asked where I staying?
What am I doing in Batam?
And lately why I come Batam so often.
Anyone hv this problem?

It is their rights to throw out questions randomly to prompt you in case you did something illegal. I have been asked multiple times in my Batam trips too,nothing to be fear unless i have something illegal or doing something not right. My answers are usually simple,i am here for a holiday,stays in Formosa Hotel,thats all. But many times,i dont understand what they are trying to ask me and let me off.

I am just guessing here that more of such query from custom officers will come,becos i believe due to the recent terrorist issue,they are also stepping up on security. With my own eyes and for the 1st time,i see a Batam custom officer checking one of their local's luggage after they have been scanned in my last trip beginning of Aug. I am glad they didnt do the same for me. It will be a nightmare if they start ransacking my bag,even tho i have nothing to fear.

I believe you all more frequent than me.
What's the solution before they pull me into the room or send me back?
Will get ban or not?

If you are a Singaporean and if they ever pull you into a room and start accusing you of something that you strongly believe you didnt do wrong base on their laws/rules,below is my solution :

Info below may come in handy...
http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/25/d9gxq.jpg

But please do keep in mind that any custom officers from any part of the world has every rights to reject anyone entry into their country without any given reason. I just read about Singapore custom rejecting entry of a Indonesia retired ex.General into Singapore during his transit to another country via Changi Airport...

https://www.sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14999078&postcount=507

...which cause a small uproar over social media. There was even a protest outside the Singapore Embassy in Jakarta becos of it too. If this happens to you in Batam and according to what i have read online,simply take the next ferry from Batam back to Singapore and then you buy a New ferry ticket from Harbour Front and come over to Batam again. Yes,your time will be wasted but there is nothing anyone could do about it if the custom authority in Batam choose to do that.

Keep one important thing in mind,NEVER ever voluntarily offer a bribe to them unless they 'persistently' initial it 1st and if you really need to do it,do it discreetly (note : so far,this has never happen to me in Batam). Reason is that 'offering bribe openly' is against their law and it can be in turn used against you for breaking their law. Worse case scenario,rip you off high and dry.

Went for a 2d1n trip a couple of weeks ago. Took a cewek from Happy8 for 1.3mil. Age early 20s from Bandung. Came to hotel around 3 plus and started to chit chat, followed by round 1. There was frenching, bbbj, fingering and her pussy was wet. Kept moaning throughout.

On a side note, her pussy smells tho. WTF?? Anyone knows why? After round 1 I quickly googled and there's a possibility of an infection or a type of STI?? Shit!! But for the second and third round, her kitty cat doesn't smell anymore. Saw her put like a medicine in a form of an eyedrop? before our second round resumed. Experience bros please rectify this. Thanks.

So after 1st round we chillax and talk cock. Dinner time and we went to Nagoya to eat and then go play arcade followed by movie. Kept holding my arms like lovers. Reached hotel around 11 plus and did the second round. Offered to shower with me before we sleep. She wore only her panties and a top. No bra underneath.

Next morning woke up for the third and final shot before she heads off.

Overall a better experience than my first trip. Might not RTF tho. Looking forward to my next trip, but I doubt it will be anytime soon. :(

Finally something different than usual to debate!!
And it's nice to read about bad pussy smell just before my lunch. Perfect timing.

On a side note, her pussy smells tho. WTF?? Anyone knows why? After round 1 I quickly googled and there's a possibility of an infection or a type of STI?? Shit!! But for the second and third round, her kitty cat doesn't smell anymore. Saw her put like a medicine in a form of an eyedrop? before our second round resumed. Experience bros please rectify this. Thanks.

There's also the possibility that she did not wash it for a while, and you cleaned it with your effective tool.
I exclude that there is an "eyedrop" able to remove bad smell from genitals in minutes, except soap.

PS: Many people has Candida and are not aware of that, with or without bad smell.

That smell is normal bro
I guess that it was not the first pussy that Mr. Cantthinkofany had at close distance in his life.

The Acacia Hotel
(Sekupang area)

Do look out of my previous very old post on this hotel in late 2014 or early 2015, stayed there before for more than 5 times.. Cost 300k a day with very basic breakfast when I was there. Room facilities bad but bed and toilet is clean though. Very quiet hotel throughout the day. About 15mins ride from sekupang terminal. Mini hilltop view in the morning kinda impressive. Did not see anybody swim in their green pool before. Local usually rent the place for weekend bbq or birthday celebration. Been 2 years since I visited probably better now? Most driver don't know the place. Best hotel for curi ayam if afraid of been seen in batam. Reception speak good English

These girls really spoil other serious we chat girl reputation. Making it so hard to trust using wechat nowadays .. I would recommend in batam if you can try not to book girl using wechat as to many of them.

Handful of bros in this thread alone has been bitten by scams,even more got bitten in other websites,and thats not counting those who kept quiet after being bitten. But still people choose to try this luck to see when is their turn to be bitten. There is not much any form of warning or advise could help. Its a choice one made.

I knew this Mountain has some Man-eating Tigeress,and yet i still go up that Mountain. Meeting a sorry end in a matter of time is almost surely.

Thus, these people took advantage of us. It very easy money for them. Hence, I hope those going to batam can really stop using wechat and having the chances to fall into their scam. If really craving for a fl than a regular working lady, go out to the mall or disco. The chances of having a good time is higher.

In Sillypore at SBF or even health center,i usually pay after bonking,so i assume thats the norm for most Sillyporean to do so. One thing i failed to understand why the need for payment before action starts in Batam when the we-chat girls obviously knows 99% of the men they sell their service to CAN afford to pay at the end of the deal.

When someone or some girls in Batam were already in my hotel room and tells me i need to pay before action,its very OBVIOUS it is going to be a scam. I will ask them to go away immediately w/o payment...and i will call the hotel security guard if they refuse to leave before further conflict escalate.

There is no need for me to even think twice about a 2nd offer in case the girl suddenly changes her mind later to take 'payment after action' becos by prompting me a payment 1st before action during the start,i predict the overall service level of the action may unlikely be good. The rest would be common sense. I havent add the worse case scenario yet.

Just a personal point of view.

Seriously, this kinda quality at 400k not probable..plus excuse of big dick on arrival shld set off alarm bells.. once u hand over ur money before the deed, then it's game over for you.. never ever trust anything until you get your end of the deal then pay.. treat this as tuition fees for you ba..

100% agreed with your above statement.

Once payment is made,whether action starts or not,its considered job-done for them. Count it lucky for it is only 400k rupiah w/o missing personal valuables.

Fully agree. Life and safety more important than money.
Even get from fuck house late n kenna chop 1m.....bad fuck....lose SGD100+ nia.

Good fuck or bad fuck,still can get a fuck or 2. Payment w/o a fuck is...well...

And my good luck in getting ssyt with good service but without the premium price continue.

*drooling*

Already looking forward to my next trip to Batam base on your above words.

Come Sunday, I was at a crossroad of deciding whether to stay on for another day or return. Last night was good, but due to lack of sleep throughout the entire week, I spent more time sleeping that fucking. Only expended 2 rounds.

In nearly all my Batam trip,i am always on "that crossroad" as to extend another night or not during the supposingly last day of my trip.

After Bunga, I proceeded to another joint that was mentioned here as a new joint. I was already at this joint before a week ago and had a bookmark there.

I dont know how is the quality of their service there but my 1st impression when i visit the place during Aug,i was surprise to see no MILF...all of them were SYT priced between 1 million to 1.2 million rupiah (according to Mami). It was at about 1pm on a weekday,handful of them still upstairs changing and have not come down yet. I didnt have the patience to wait so only get to see about 5 to 6 of them.

This place may have its rightful potential.

Agreed. After watching the entire movie, I think it is a waste of time and money. Although I watched it at KSL Mall last Wednesday for RM9 per ticket (only every Wednesday), I thought I should have save it for massage instead.

Thanks for the review,hehehe...you just helped me save my money.

The milf at batam horizon counter in charge of handling money and ticket (always sit in the middle) face 24/7 black haha.

Seems like all Horizon Ferry counter's 'cashier booth' were build like a Tua Pek Kong altar for 'worshipers',hehehe...

Thanks bro Nono for your compilation of ferry companies and schedules.

It wasn't exactly a compilation of info,but more towards trying to get the point that Batam center ferry terminal is very much busier than the one in Harbour Bay.

One my main message was we were all suppose to reach any Batam ferry terminal as early as between 45mins to an hour early (by rules) to go thru the custom, to await ferry boarding and so on; and while all these while we were given some extra privileges to be able to reach and later check in within less than 10 to 15mins,we tends to forget the privileges we received all these wasnt suppose to be an entitlement.

Its a lesson i learned.

For Malaysian/Indonesian who travel from Johor Bahru to batam.
Finally Malaysian/Indonesian from Johor Bahru Stulang Laut ferry terminal can have a direct ferry service from JB direct to Harbourbay Ferry Terminal. The direct ferry service was started off end of last year.

So now Johorian or even Singaporean/indonesian can travel directly from JB to Harbourbay Nagoya unlike last time have to reach batam centre first and then transfer taxi to Nagoya. Thus save on precious time and money and effort.

The ferry ticket price from JB Stulang Laut ferry terminal to Harbourbay and Batam Centre are the same because the distance apart from JB ferry terminal to both ferry terminals are almost equal if you look at the map.

There are now currently 2 ferry companies operating from harbourbay to JB stulang laut.

The two ferry ticket offices are located side by side near horizon ferry ticket office. Their schedules of departure from harbourbay to JB are different.

The first one is PT Putramaju (picture below showing schedule) (the staff said they use better ferry than the other company)

The second one is marine hawk ferry. (last time was known as mv mutiara)

40148
40149

This is very interesting. Which means to say I can actually travel to Batam 1st, stay for few days before heading to JB again,hehehe...that would be very much faster and more efficient than using the causeway ,tho it may be more expensive.

Interesting indeed and sincerely thank you for sharing this part.

My next question if anyone knows, how long would the ferry ride takes from Batam to JB?

Btm is nt jus all abt sex & girls. I'd get the pretty girls of course,but after tat,i'd need to knw where to go & what to do next beside jus eat fuck slp. As the sayin goes,all sex & no foreplay makes all the sexsion less fun.

There are simply so many more thgs 1 can do in btm.

In btm theatres,there's always malls. In the malls,i'm sure there's abundant girls...& most girls like a good movie (mayb bcs it's in a mall). :D

All that you said above,i agreed with you. My objectives were simple,get the best for less and Batam itself already provide me with what i need. Of course,that may not apply to everyone.

A nice massage followed by SEX

I prefer a nice massage,followed by sex...and after when i am depleted,another round of massage to revitalize.

Business must be not very good. 1 Hotel S booking joint cewe, 1Alishan ktv cewe jio'ing me go visit them...

Every joint and every KTV in Batam has one girl who jio you,your phone also may broke down soon,hehehe....

Going tmrw.. will write FR soon. :)

May your coming trip be better than your last one.

Hmm.. yet again, my luck in getting syts gem continue. Tulip is no longer operating. In its place is PukuPuku Massage (spelling might be wrong, it's Indonesian for Butterfly).

My booking is a 20 years old fun loving girl with good service attitude. Price at 1.5 juta, but negotiated down to 1.2juta. Had a wild night last night. (y) Another keeper.

Good bargain, I know which one you are talking about. She is the most expensive one in this joint. Can you be more specific about her service and your rating. Where did you go for dinner? How much you tipped?

tomcat007

28-08-2016, 05:19 PM

Not the only most expensive one, but yes, she did belong to the most expensive price category. I did worry about princess sickness cos she didn't even smile when we are at the joint.

Well, hopefully my god luck won't end so soon.

Looks : 8.99
Service: 7
Gfe: 8
Bbbj: limited, but at least she's willing to do
Gfe: 8

No mistake there, I put gfe twice cos I feel for someone so young, she did well there. My friend got a girl that should score more in the gfe department.

We went to a seafood restaurant near DC Mall. It's hotly discussed before so I won't name the shop. But, for 4 dishes (streamed fish, fried chicken, broccoli and hotplate tofu), 500k is a bit in the expensive side.

We stayed at Biz Hotel. Main reason is Formosa is full and only had twin single beds available which I don't like. The other reason why this hotel is due to the many joints (total of 6 joints) in the vicinity, all within 5 minutes walk. And, if we didn't manage to get any girls after these 6 joints, (we didn't even visit all 6 before we got our belles for the night), there is still Happy8 and New Berry which is reasonably nearby.

That shall be all. Going for my ferry now.

This place may have its rightful potential.

1. July / August are crazy months for me. Due to my place undergoing renovations, I moved to a temporary place, and gave myself the excuse to go Batam almost every week. But, it's also during these 2 months that I've booked very good quality syts and young milfs. For next month, I'll be switching back to 1-2 trips (at most). Hope my god luck continue.

2. Well, I think from our timing going Batam together, I've only encountered this "crossroad" once. I think, that's with the "super glue" from New Berry whom Bro S noted that having been chasing him to bring her go find me.

This latest crossroad situation is due to me going Batam with some expectation. I've already got a booking girl in mind and from things that I've heard about her, some expectation already been set. So, when that trip ended with only 2 rounds expended, can't help but feel disappointed.

But, it's also lucky that I decided to stay for another night.

3. About this SK place, yes, so far, I've not seen any milfy cewek in the joint. In point 2 above, I actually got rejected by a cewek when i decided to book her. No worries. Better reject me now, than to give me attitude later.

My next stop after Bunga (where the girl reject me) is this SK place. It's almost 4pm and most girls are gone. Then, this petite cutesy cewek came down into the showroom and, after a few words with the Mami, decided to book her. She's easily the prettiest in the joint. And at 19, I'm pretty sure she's also the youngest. Cut her price from 1.2juta to 1juta. And had a wonderful night.

Actually Hotel Newton has a dedicated porn channel. If you can put up with the music from their KTV room, then you may consider this hotel. I stayed there once and it was loud enough to wake the dead.

Waiting for my ferry back to SG after having a great night.

Yesterday i was just browsing through and I saw this new stable, Batamx. The price was super high but i saw 500k discount code and i did my calculation. Damage is about 2 mil. Good price for something like a concierge service.

I reached haborbay and a taxi driver came to me. (he recognise me from the photo i sent). Hotel was already booked at agoda. I stayed at BCS. Taxi is included and i requested to stop at a shop to buy cigs and drinks. Dinner also i just called the same driver. So in other words, i no need to find a driver which i feel is the real plus point.

So check-in liao. I freshen up. Already inform the stable which girl i want (maggie) and what time to send. Package was punctual. Didn't need to come down to collect or anything, straight to room and paid the damage to the driver.

Girl stats:

Looks: 9/10 (better than photo)
Boobs: not for boob lovers but nice nips
body: 9/10 slim with a nice ass

bbbj: 11/10 this girl can blow man.
gave her a bonus cim before leaving room for dinner
Fj: 8/10. her bj overshadowed this
Gfe: 10/10

Had total 3 shots until this morning with 1 cim. Now back to sg.

While at the middle of my trip in Batam few days back,i received a PM from a credible bro on this thread, (what I meant by credible is he shares quite a lot of useful information before) which disturbed me a little and below is the PM he sent me and I have his nick censored off to protect his privacy :

Hi Bro Nono,

I think I wont want to post this out.
But I feel I have to share this out.
I had been reading your BTM postings n have benefit greatly. But....I think I wont want to visit BTM or any other Indo states anymore....at least for the time being.

A few days ago, I went to JKT....first trip.
I was detained at customs inspection after chopping passport.
They suspect me harboring drugs.....the machine say so. They claimed. Could be due to 2 slabs of panadol n box of pochai pills.
They went through my stufs item by item....
Check my pp....ask me what i doing in jkt.
Told him holiday.....check my pp n see many batam stamps.
Was brought into room for further investigation n interrogation.
At one time got 6 officers...i was scared. Even strip search.
They went thru my HP n Tablet and ask many questions. What I work n what I work as...any namecard....
Quite sway my tablet have sexy gal pics n worst xx vids....they went thru the vids with interest n laughing.
Later was brought to a local hospital for xray. They say will release me if xray ok.....later i was release at the hospital.
Took a taxi to my hotel.
I felt uneasy the entire day n night...
After talking to a friend over wechat....he advise me not to stay on....so i book an extra ticket.....n fly back next day.
I guess im sway to the max....my friend say most likely im identified as sex monger n suspect drug abuser.
Anyway, i dun think i will ever go back to jkt n also batam.
Coz i might face problems.
Anyway, i exited smoothly at jkt depature airport.

This experience had rattled me greatly.....but Im glad I make it back to SG.

His pm involve his worries on traveling to Batam as well,so I am now posting a reply in related to his PM and hopefully a solution if I were to ever encounter a similar situation. So far,all my trips to Batam has been fine and I have also checked with a handful of bros who recently traveled there on a regular basis; all's been well so far. But do note that security checks has obviously been stepped up on the Batam custom side when I witness a luggage-check on one of their indo locals via Harbour Bay during my 31st Batam trip (https://hive.am/31sttrip). It was the 1st time I witness a luggage-check in Batam custom after they were being scanned.

In my most recent trip which I brought some aunties/uncle over,one of the auntie was queried for about 5 mins at the custom counter before being 'release' to join me. That however was quite a normal procedure becos I have been queried by the custom officers over the same thing few times before (asking all the questions like why you come Batam,where you stay etc).

For precaution reason/s, I would urge travelers to keep a copy of the below if you are traveling to Batam (its what i always do) :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/29/B6wTt.jpg

Below is the link of my words to another bro previously in this thread when he ask about a similar situation :

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=15007674&postcount=3143

There are many reasons for a more intense custom check in Indonesia,below were some reasons I gathered on another thread in this forum :

The terrorist threats/s around the Riau islands, Batam and even other major cities of Indonesia :

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14999015&postcount=506

May also be a tit for tat issue when a reputable ex.general of Indonesia was reject entry from Changi airport which result in some protest outside the Singapore Embassy in Jakarta recently :

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=14999078&postcount=507

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=15002468&postcount=508

And lastly,there were news on early July 2016 that the Indonesia Gov is stepping up on checks for tourists from Malaysia and Singapore traveling via Jakarta airport due to some drug issues :

https://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.php?p=15013169&postcount=511

And in case if any of you guys are traveling to Indonesia and has encounter similar issues or worse, accuse of breaking some law/s unknowingly, do feel free to reference to the below :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/29/xThUS.jpg

I would suggest bros who are traveling there to keep a copy in your wallet in case you are somewhat "lucky enough" to be hit by a situation. I do that all the time whenever i travel,hehehe... (i kiasu and kiasi ma..)

Above info were taken from the below website :

https://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/overseasmission/jakarta/consular_services/overview.html

Every decent person who travel overseas also want peace of mind and not to seek trouble,but if trouble occurs that arent within our control, the least we should know is how/where to look for help. While the above mentioned may not be 100% foolproof,i would say little help is better than dont know where to seek help (especially so for solo travelers). And do also keep in mind that custom officers in all countries has every rights to do their random routine checks. Its their duty. Always remain calm and polite when being prompt.

Note : I have relate the bro who send me the PM stated above to a few bros i knew in person and one of their reply to me sounds interesting. He says it should now be EVEN EASIER for that 'bro' to pass thru the Indonesia custom for his future trips becos he has already been proven 'clean' after all the hospital checks and all that ;and there are records in their systems that would certify so for other future trips.

As for pornography material,i have not heard of laws that says such material in a personal laptop/phones/devices for a tourist were illegal unless its being broadcast/sold to the public. Of course ,that would be rather subjective as there will always be grey areas around.

Above notes were just hearsay.

Since I am already consolidating some Singapore Embassies/Consulate of Indoneisa,so in this post I would just put up some of the other Singapore's Embassies/Consulate in other more popularly traveled-to Asia countries for bros who plan to travel solo,just in case you run into any situation since I believe many countries would likely step up on their security checks to fight against global terrorism. It may not be your turn to suffer the similar experience but who knows it could happen 2morow? Below may not be of any great help at the end of the day but a tiny little help is afterall better than zero help at all.

Yup a booking joint. But that time I went at around 12pm plus and the papi said the girls all not ready (but the other joints i visited at least have 6 girls or more). Ask me to come back in the afternoon.... how are the girls there? If good might go back there next time. Hahaha.

This seems to me a typical item that COULD be used to make life difficult to someone, IF police wants to give hard time to someone for any other reason.

First of all - local people with sound expertise please correct me if I am wrong - as far as I knew pornography is illegal not only in Indonesia but also in Singapore. Don't laugh, but in spite of the huge amount of pornography we consume daily in Singapore (ahem.... :rolleyes:) all that is illegal. It cannot be imported neither detained to Singapore.
As a matter of fact, even SB had to me moved on some foreign server.

This is law, but in practice you know it's easy to buy even XXX DVDs in street markets of Batam. I know a girl in Batam who was so excited to tell me she buys DVDs and watches them in her room.

Said this, I keep the porn material I may have on my laptop well secure in an encrypted container, which (I believe based on sound technical arguments) could not be opened even by the NSA (unless they don't find the password, which is not weak yet not so strong).

However, what about a collection of photos of local girls? I am afraid that, IF police needs some excuse to give you hard time, this could be used in some way, but this is pure speculation.

I conclude with two hints:

1) if you want to bring porn material with you, store it in an encrypted container (not all are good, but enough to keep it safe from curious people)

2) if you want to watch porn material in your room, don't bring DVDs with you (better to avoid to be intercepted at the customs). You can buy them in Batam, or better use a VPN to access porn web sites using the normal Internet access of your hotel.

Enjoy

It is illegal to have porn in btm. What better still if you are a foreigner, thats money to them. Like how the locals in btm would say. Uang dolar, brapa aja tu. So if u have crap loads of money to throw around, go ahead and do it but dont say u been warn. Just remember we are in btm as guest so have respect to the laws and people there. Fellow bros tend to forget if they cheong long enuff they can do whatever they want. Be humble n polite, n you be fine but dont get carrot chop la. Lol. Happy cheonging everyone.

bro nono1973 - thank you for sharing...now I knew why the thread by lost99...:)

anyway I suspect it was JKT cause he hardly goes to any other country...:)

You are most welcome.

Just for clarification,bro Lost99 isnt the one who PM me on the ordeal,it was another bro who frequent Batam and have gone to Jakarta alone for the 1st time. Bro Lost99 however is a more season player in Jakarta. I am guessing there must be more than one single such incidents happening and that its frequency is getting higher recently hence he started the thread for discussion (more heads,more solutions ma,hehehe...). At the same time help others handle such situation if it were to ever happen to them.

actually strip search is not uncommon...many Viet girls were stripped search when they enter Europe or US even with a valid visa and with their foreigner husband traveling together...the respective country immigration/custom officer has the right to do so...:)

Not very sure how other countries does it but for anyone who got hit by a "custom strip-search" for the 1st time,i am almost sure they will somewhat feel "humiliated" and maybe even a sense of lost.Not to mention the trip would be spoilt. It could applies to me or anyone too.

One of my greatest fear in Batam was during the crossing of their custom (which i have mention in this thread),when they chop my passport. Yes,it is still one of my greatest fear even when i have cross their border many times.

Its always good to prepare oneself when things start becoming more intense (global terrorism and such),but never to the extreme extend of being rude to a custom officer as mention in one of your post...

In my most recent trip which I brought some aunties/uncle over,one of the auntie was queried for about 5 mins at the custom counter before being 'release' to join me. That however was quite a normal procedure becos I have been queried by the custom officers over the same thing few times before (asking all the questions like why you come Batam,where you stay etc).

Adhi Vinayakar Temple
(a Hindu Temple - Pura Agung Amerta Bhuana)
+
Pondok Santai Kak Dadut Restaurant
(which is just 1 min walk away from the temple)

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/25/nKt4Q.jpg

Ok,i have been to this Hindu temple during a much earlier part of my Batam trips (its written in one of my Batam summaries). I am no indian,but this temple is indeed majestic-looking with a snake made of stone coiling around it. The description i found online says :

Adhi Vinayakar Hindu Temple is in Sei Ladi hills, just a few minutes south of Nagoya, and is worshipped by the Hindu’s from all over the island.

Back in 2005 twenty Indian Hindu priests (Maharesi) lead Sri Lalitha
Maha Thirupurasundari's purification ceremony at a prayer center for a Hindu community in the Agung Amertha Bhuana Temple (AAB Temple) area, which is part of the Adhi Vinayakar Hindu Temple.

I read another article saying that is Hindu temple is also called the Naga temple.Like some other Hindu temples i have been to before,it also has a Fire-Walking pit which signify the ritual of passing through an entrance of fire, thereby purifying the soul. One day,i may pay this place a revisit and do a more complete write out on this Hindu temple in future.

Important note : Visitors are also suggested to wear proper clothings. This sacred place is forbidden for women who are having menstruation, neither for those who are in mourning for 32 days.

What set my interest today isnt the temple,but the restaurant name, Kak Dadut, which serves vegetarian meals, seafood, Balinese & Lombok Island style food, some Western food as well as local favorites.(its almost beside the temple) If my memory still serves me well,an Indonesia Chinese bro in this forum who works in Sillypore and often head back home in Batam once or twice a week told me,this place serves pretty good food.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/24/mhnT0.jpg

From the photo above,on the left os the restaurant and from the stairs up,it will lead to the temple as shown on the 1st photo of this post. And below shows the map on how to get there. It isnt exactly near nor far but definitely will need a drive there. If i dont remember wrong,it took me 10 to 15 mins to get there.

I would also like to share some info on money saving tips for bros here for ferry service to batam....

For singaporean who travel from singapore to batam.

1) Use NTUC card to get $10 off for 2 ways ferry ticket from harbourfront to batam centre by sindo ferry.
$36 ticket + $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) - $10 = $38.70

2) Senior citizen - must be singaporean aged 50 and above (valid till 30 sept 2016)
S$17 per 2way adult ticket from harbourfront to batam centre by sindo ferry.(Price excludes Terminal Taxes)
Singapore Passenger Departure Fee is $6 per person.
Batam Terminal tax is Rp65,000 per person.
$17 ticket + $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) = $29.70

3) Apply for the Sindo Ferry Club Card at $188 per month which entitle to unlimited travel between batam centre and Singapore harbourfront. But the price is exclude tax on both sides.
Singapore Passenger Departure Fee is $6 per person.
Batam Terminal tax is Rp65,000 per person.
Applicable to Batam Centre, Sekupang and Waterfront.
Each month cost $188
Each return trip cost $6(spore tax) + $6.70(65k indo tax) = $12.70

Besides the money saving tips on ferry tickets, I would also like to share with brothers on other saving tips in batam but may not be applicable to everyone.

Below are some of them:

1) Transport expenses
Once arrived at harbourbay ferry terminal, the teksi supir will start asking the customer and will most likely quote a 55k-60k carrot cake price for a short journey of 2.5km to Formosa hotel.

If one is to walk further down and reach the entrance of harbourbay shopping, the price quoted by the taxi supir will be lower down to 50k, but if you bargain hard the price can be further reduce to 45k max.

However, if I walk out to the main road, I am able to negotiate to 40k to Formosa hotel which I have tried before. This proved that customer who hired a cab nearer to the ferry terminal will be quoted a higher price.

However if you were to take an ojek from the main road just outside harbourbay mall to Formosa, you are most likely to spend 15-20k.

For me, I have tried taxi, ojek and in my last trip last month, I finally tried taking a metro van at the main road of Jalan Raja Ali Haji near the morning bakery shop infront where a lot of metro van is stopping awaiting for passenger. I then alight at Nagoya hill shopping centre, the fare is only 3k rupiah. This is the first time in my life that I took such cheap transport in batam. I was delighted and feel a sense of satisfaction that my 3k rupiah was so well spend. After that I then walk to Formosa from Nagoya hill mall.

So it is your choice to select the transport cost from harbourbay to Formosa area (2.5km) base on the boarding location and mode of transport:

Taxi at ferry terminal : 55-60k
Taxi just outside harbourbay mall entrance : 45-50k
Taxi at main road near harbourbay mall : 35-40k
Ojek at main road near harbourbay mall : 15-20k
Metro van that can sit 8-10 people : 3k
By foot : free but need to buy mineral water at alfa mart to replenish the lost water at 2.2k.

2) Cheap food
Sometime I do look out for promotion items in Batam. When there is a food promotion like half price for gurame fried freshwater fish at EA café (level 3 Nagoya hill) and other food items, I will not hesitate to go ahead to enjoy.

I also noticed that street food in Batam are also cheap and delicious which provide another alternative in saving money . They are normally sold in mobile warung or mobile push cart kiosk with 2 wheel. Some street food include mee soto, bakso (Indonesian meat ball), rujak (Indonesian rojak), satay, etc.

But one of the most common favourite for Indonesian is the gorengan or so called "Indonesian fried snack". Some of the very delicious gorengan include:

a) Pisang goreng - fried banana selling at 1k=10 cents, but in Singapore selling for $1.30-$1.70 per piece. Batam pisang goreng taste better in my opinion.

b) Ubi goreng - fried sweet potato selling at 1k=10cents, but in spore is selling for $1-$1.20 per piece.

c) tempeh goreng - tempeh is a traditional soy product originate from Indonesia selling at 1k=10cents, but only can be found in spore Indonesian restaurant or malay food. Normally ayam penyet dish will come with it.

d) tahu goreng - fried beancurd selling at 1k=10cents, but the tahu goreng in spore is selling for $2.50-$3.00 per piece with peanut sauce which is 25-30 times more expensive.

e) bakwan goreng - fried mix of dough made of wheat flour, cabbage, and carrot selling at 1k=10cents, but in spore is selling for $1 for vegetarian bakwan and $1.50 bakwan with prawn.

f) Aci goreng - fried tapioca dough selling at 1k=10cents, but in spore is selling at between $0.80-$1.00.

g) Singkong goreng - fried cassava selling at 1k=10cents but have not seen in spore.

These gorengan are usually deep fried, used one kind of batter like flour, salt and pepper and also used no meat therefore can keep the cost low.

3) Savings on buying daily needs
Another saving tips is tried to buy grocery or personal needs from cheap mini market like alfamart which has more than 7000 stores which is the largest retailer in indonesia. (the so call 7-11 of Indonesia)

However the price is much cheaper than 7-11 and other supermarket and has all the variety of daily necessity that one needs. It has also many branches in batam. near Formosa already have two - one beside bridge massage and one near siang malam which is convenient if you are staying around the vicinity.

4) Bargain special service fee for sort time massage and overnight booking fee
Negotiate handjob fee and fuckjob fee as much as possible. Try to use the pretend not interested method if the cewek refuse to lower down her price.

Pretend to walk away if the mami refuse to lower down the booking fee of the cewek.

The savings can be substantial as it is quoted in step of hundreds of thousand rupiah...this one need a bit of bargaining skill, best to consult the expert bro nono for guidance hehe :D

5) Save on mobile data charges

As we know that Nagoya hill mall has many eateries coffee shop like Oldtown, EA café, Baresto café, Kangen café, Coffee story, Bistro Godiva coffee, etc, all these places provide free wifi. So if you go for your tea break/lunch/dinner you can save on internet charges. Also make full use of any free wifi services in the hotel too by downloading any info from the internet that you need.

Sometimes if you do not want to buy mobile data, you can always go near to those places where you have ever used wifi before as it will auto login without the need to key in password.

6) Save on hotel accommodation

There is a few options where you can save on lodging :

a) Buy hotel vouchers at KAHA, thanks to bro nono for recommendation. Mostly applicable to 3 star hotel and above.

b) Join membership to get a classic card to enjoy 10% off the room rate, e.g. 510k-51k=459k approximate = 460k in Formosa hotel. So far I only know Formosa have this membership scheme, do any bros know if other hotel also have membership ?

c) Check the website like booking.com or hotel.com to compare offer price. After that call the hotel to ask the hotel walk in rate.

The following methods above will definitely be cheaper to book a hotel room than the walk in price.

7) Save on Cewek booking fee (no supir)
Tried not to engage a supir/driver for cewek hunting as he will get a 100k-150k commission from the papi or mami of the booking joint.

Use the walking map provided by nono to look for the joint.

Always take a taxi from point A to B so that you only pay the taxi fare only.

Alight at a location near the joint but not at the joint, wait till the taxi left the site then go in to the booking joint to book your cewek to avoid paying driver commission.

All the joints in fact can be accessed by walking from Goldbird - Memory - New berry - Happy massage 8 - Indah2 - Bunga - Permata Indah following the sequence.

But for newbie in order to familiarise the location of the booking joint can follow experience bros once and try to remember the way to the joints.

8) Save on massage fees

a) Many small savings that one save could amount up to a big saving. Take for example if I have a gold card in Formosa hotel, I get 20% discount off the normal price at King's Massage. If one day massage a few sessions for 500k, there will be a saving of 100k.

b) Also try to take longer duration of massage as it will be cheaper compare to two short duration of massage.

example 2 hours costs 180k but 1 hour cost 100k.

:D

40k max. At the entrance of Harbour Bay Mall where there's is steps going down to carpark. If you can't speak bahasa, just signal 40 with your hand and if they don't accept, just smile and move on. Taxis are fine a dozen in Batam. Throw a stone and you might hit a taxi driver or sex worker...

We went to a seafood restaurant near DC Mall. It's hotly discussed before so I won't name the shop. But, for 4 dishes (streamed fish, fried chicken, broccoli and hotplate tofu), 500k is a bit in the expensive side.

i had a clearer photo of this place but choose to pick a blurry one for now,hehehe..

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/28/pZIie.jpg

I just had my lowest priced lunch in Batam on the last day of my trip,at 32500 rupiah (about S$3.30) for 3 person,hehehe...one of my most satisfactory meal in Batam. :D

(i have to keep checking with the cashier if they have priced our meals correctly)

Its all vegetarian food w/o drinks tho (well-filtered,plain water was free there). :p

Something intresting u may like to know. I ordered food from other store while having dinner at New Siang Malam Seafood store and it incurred a 10k service charge for food from outside stores.
Not sure if this is common in other stores.

First time I've ever heard this happening in batam. I've brought/bought outside food into eateries before (of course bulk of the food ordered from said eatery/restaurant) and was never questioned before, let alone kena imposed a service charge.

The only establishment(s) that I have encountered in Batam are the cinemas (XXI & Blitz), which is understandable cos the main bulk of their revenue comes from their concessionary stand sales; can't exactly make money out of 25k - 40k per ticket.

Didn't know New Siang Malam Seafood is so mercenary. :mad:

True. Also, because you know how to TCSS, be friendly and build rapport with these therapists. Who knows you may even get your standard 100k HJ and 200k FJ. That's also depend on your will power and staying firm in the first case. Of course, the risk is you get nothing at the end of the session. If you do and get the ball rolling, every time you go there with the same therapist, you get the same price with the exception of sometime giving extra 50k for tip.

I am actually quite reliant on google translate when i talk to them. And when they use google translate to convey their message to me,it kind of also jeopardize my massage time. Timing to me is very important,wrong day,wrong timing at the massage shop,it would be less easy to get 100k HJ and 200k FJ.

No harm giving an extra 30k to 50k extra tip if she does her job REALLY well since i dont exactly count in 100k HJ and 200k FJ as a form of tipping.(it would be more of an agreed price for a task-to-be-done)

One more thing to add,once i get so accustomed to a particular therapist,their standard of service tends to drop. So i dont exactly enjoy sticking to any one particular therapist or massage lady for long.

Through TCSS and know the therapist has children, on subsequent visit, sometimes buying some biscuits, chocolate and treats from the supermarket as a surprise will sealed the bonding better. Most of the time always the same price (common understanding) and the service is always much better. This is the pro and the con is can be sticky.

(For info only and not for sharing the place)

Agreed with you,some of the places i went to,the girls didnt even bother asking if i want special or pop GQ (becos they see my face there quite regularly,hehehe..). After all the deed was done,i ask them how much do i owe them and they often tells me, "Up to you"... and when they say that,i usually give them 10k (hj) most time ...just to tease them,hehehe...i didnt really give them 10k rupiah for a hj of course. But i like to see their surprised facial expression from the 10k rupiah,hehehe...you know,that kind of expression when a person is disappointed,then suddenly the tide turns in favor for them and they suddenly become happier,hehehe...

Surprise gifts of a box of J.Co 24 mini donuts works pretty well,hehehe...(cost less than 50k and my regular girl/s there is happy to share it with her colleagues)

Agree. Even if you know Bahasa Indonesia, sometimes dee gong, dee gong can also be an advantage in this type of situation. That's provided the massage lady has yet to chop someone heavy and she wants the deal to go ahead.

Hence the right timing is crucial.

I remember there was twice i recommended a few closer friends to a few of those pure breed Indo Chinese girls joint and i was surprise my friend wasnt offered the GQ. He came out telling me that the girl didnt offered him GQ and this incident actually happened twice. (the girls speak relatively fluent teochew/hokkien & English)

Maybe the girl/s may have thought that my friends were just as stingy as me,hehehe...or maybe she doesnt need to offer special service to every customers or MAYBE,she already chopped (carrot) someone else that day which could last her a few days/weeks,hehehe...I am just guessing.

Any recommendation for MP with extras near BCS mall

There is one, right infront of the mall. The corner massage behind EATON makan. Right at the end of the row of shop houses. But like brothers says, not cheap. Nothing much to shout about.

Bros going to Batam should take note that those going in from SG will now have to fill up a health declaration form and also go through the infra-red heat scanner; all these will definitely increase the time taken to clear immigration.

My friend went to Batam yesterday (disembarked at Harborbay) and was delayed by almost 40 mins because of the additional measures.

Thank you for the info on the health declaration form and the heat scanner thingy (very useful to me).

When I was going to Batam on 26th Aug,there was heavy haze in the morning and ferry got stuck in water of Harbour Front with everyone on board the ferry with a delay of more than 30mins.

Looks like the coming trip,i might just be meeting with another delay again. :(

Health checks rolled out in Batam
to anticipate entry of Zika virus

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/09/02/wEhsS.jpg

BATAM, Indonesia - Officials were assigned to monitor sea ports serving Batam-Singapore route to anticipate the spread of Zika virus.

The Health Ministry has assigned health officials to stand guard at eight Riau Islands sea ports that serve routes to Singapore as an anticipatory measure to limit the spread of the Zika virus following reports of infections in the city-state.

There have been 193 officials assigned since Monday at ports in Batam, Bintan and Karimun, Riau Islands Health Agency head Tjepjep Yudiana said on Tuesday. Tjepjep said the health agency had co-operated with port authorities since reports that 41 people had tested positive for the virus in Singapore.

"As the region closest to Singapore, we taking measures to anticipate the virus entering Riau Islands via passengers who have visited Singapore," he told The Jakarta Post.

All passengers entering through the eight ports who have come from Singapore must pass through a thermal scan to check their body temperature, Tjepjep said.

The health office has also appointed three hospitals to handle people infected with the Aedes mosquito-borne virus. The hospitals are Embung Fatimah in Batam, Provincial Hospital in Tanjungpinang and Karimun Regional Hospital.

Meanwhile, Batam Port Health Office chief Anas Makruf said passengers arriving in Batam also needed to fill in a health report card to look for symptoms such as fever, rash, red eyes and headache.

"We will conduct a further check if a passenger has experienced two of the four symptoms," he said.

Now screening in all the Blitz Theatre in Batam (Harbour Bay Mall and Kepril Mall) from 31st Aug but not in Cinema 21 (BCS Mall,Mega Mall and Nagoya Hill Mall). Now, here's the tricky part,the movie will be in Korean with bahasa subtitle and no English subtitle of any sort (according to the cinema). I guess they were meant for the Indonesian or those who could either understand Korean or Bahasa. Sadly,its not for me becos i dont understand bahasa and/or korean...*sob*...

I doubt anyone would not know how to get to Harbour Bay,hehehe...and if you really do not know,then you should read my signature link.

Near Pacific Hotel. Not sure about the price, never go before. But i think one of the seniors have posted before. More expensive than Delta and Octopuss if not mistaken.

Like the previous bro shared, it's near Pacific Hotel. If u stand facing Pacific Hotel, turn left and walk about 100m; you should see a big signboard that read Atalanta Massage. At that sign, turn right, walk into the small lane and voila.

I don't know about the current massage prices cos haven't stepped foot in there for more than 2 years. Like NoNo had mentioned, it is one of the more expensive places in batam; the special packages are negotiated with the gals directly, it's not inclusive in the massage price.

Won't be surprised if they quote u FJ at 600-800k; pls bargain.

Bros going to Batam should take note that those going in from SG will now have to fill up a health declaration form and also go through the infra-red heat scanner; all these will definitely increase the time taken to clear immigration.

My friend went to Batam yesterday (disembarked at Harborbay) and was delayed by almost 40 mins because of the additional measures.

If you are running a temperature, suggest that u temporarily skip Batam (or traveling anywhere for that matter) as you are likely to be quarantined.

*Update on the health screening..

Hopped onto Horizon ferry this evening. Once the ferry sailed off, one of the crew went around handing out the health declaration form. Suggest that you bring along a pen to save time and for convenience; there isn't a proper counter for u to fill it up when u arrive at Harborbay.

That being said, the "screening" is nothing more than cursory check. There were 2 officers (I presume from the health department) holding those portable infra-red thermometers at the entrance of the immigration building. The travellers were stopped at the glass doors and scanned 2 by 2 with the thermometer.

I was the first few to reach the entrance, so I didn't take long to clear. Those who disembark towards the end may find themselves stuck under the shelter walkway for a while. I suppose this might be the reason why my friend was stuck for 40 mins (to answer Bro Blackpage's query).

Next on the declaration form, the health inspection officers were so preoccupied taking temperatures that they didn't take everyone's forms. I had mine in my hand, so they saw it and remembered to take it. I saw many people going by without having their forms taken, hence my conclusion of this just being a cursory exercise.

Overall, it took me only 5 mins to clear the whole "screening" and immigration clearance.

02-09-2016, 08:46 PM

I beg to differ. Their massage price is affordable. About 300k odds, but inclusive usage of facilities. As for specials, this is where the girls tried to ask for more. I did manage to get 150k hj before.

Oh okay, I stand corrected then. My apologies, as I had mentioned, it's been more than 2 years since I have been there as I prefer Octopuss, which I feel is more value for money.

150k for HJ is a damn good job bro. The last time i was there, the gal quoted me 500k for FJ and refused to budge. This was 2 years plus ago, so 500k was definitely on the high side. I grudgingly relented cos I was (i) damn horny already and (ii) she was hot.

Thanks for the correction bro.

THere are so many shops there offering massage. Most of the gals depend on specials for survival.

Clever girls knw hw to build regular cust base,the not clever 1 jus wan 2 pass their days & the ang bai will jus hang up 2 pick & choose their client.

U just brought in many good memories for me when i am in batam with that photo. :D

so bro,wen u plan bring xiao di go yr regular hideout gai gai? ;)

Upon the girl's arrival at 430pm,and towards dinner time around 730pm,i will usually have had at least 1 round (sometimes even 2 rounds,hence I came down to meet them at lobby late,hehehe...).

Nw u r reminding me y 'smone' often cm dwn lobby late wen we meet up for dinner in btm. :D

Am stuck here and went to various massage near Utama hotel like Princess, nice massage, etc all were a disappointment. Am still here for few days, can some good soul help advise a snr samster here where to look for Chinese booking joint and also massage w FJ? Kindly PM me or post here, thanks a million bro. Desperately need some help. :)

My recommendation will be for u to go Octopuss Spa at Pacific Hotel. They have packages for massage + HJ (445k), and FJ. FJ package (termed as "TAY HA 2" there) has 2 options, silver package (745k) and gold package (945k). Gold gals are supposed to be younger and chio-er, but have many gems under silver category too.

The TH2 gals can be lined up in front of u for your selection. Just tell the mummy that you want "contest".

The package includes usage of facilities (sauna, steam, hot pool)

There isn't any booking joints that carry Indochinese gals solely. In fact, there aren't many Indo Chinese gals working as WL or FL in batam. Have, but rare. I think some of the bros here have mentioned that there are a few of them sprinkled around in different booking joints, so u'll have to look back at previous posts or wait for additional responses if you're really desperate to bonk Indo Chinese ceweks

I thought Utama area all joints have fj?

Don't think there's any chinese joint here. In fact, indochinese don't really work in this line, not the budget massage or booking joints at least. You may find them in ktv though.

I'm now at Sweet Massage for the next 2 hours. Else I can bring you around. Just booked a Mandarin speaking cewe from Utama area.

And also, on the subject of indochinese, done may be indochinese by root. But, after many years (decades) of living in this community, many already don't speak the language. Some papi will try to sell you that, since you're looking for indochinese.

Jus out of curiosity,wil there b 2 summaries for aug? :D

No,there will not be 2 summaries from the same month,but on and off i may just post something from 'that trip'. Reason as in all the info in that trip werent something new. They are mostly repeated places i have been to with a different occurrence.

I have had other trips in the same month before,most of which i just take note and do a bookmarking for my next summary so that some certain info i need to take note on will be noted there.

1st day's early dinner at Nagoya Hill Mall and it was a little crappy :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/31/L48Ui.jpg

The photo i took above,non of its package was available on that evening when we were there. Their signage outside is just for show only. The special promotion were suppose to be from a certain time to a certain time,but the timing of it were nowhere to be found. End of the meal,it cost us around 375k. Food taste was pretty alright,a little above average but well,for that kind of pricing,i believe anywhere else out of Nagoya Hill Mall would be better.

And by the way,there are only 2 table of customers during dinner time (whereas other restaurants nearby has more open tables). This place deserves to have no business and i manually wrote in my displeasure in the given suggestion form after our meal. If it ever get thrown into the bin,then it would be their lost. Luckily i didnt have to pay for my meals becos those aunties pays for it,hehehe...otherwise my heart will be bleeding.

The moon cake there is not cheap either. Please note that i am comparing the pricing against Crystal Jade Palace restaurant in Sillypore where ex President SBY and ex President Makanwati often frequent whenever they go to Sillypore. The prices of Crystal Jade is just a few dollar higher,hence i am calling this Maystar Restaurant moon cake expensive.

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/images/2016/08/31/vhkR.jpg

The aunties seems to like Nagoya Hill Mall...i mean since i told them its the biggest restaurants in Batam,hehehe...one of their more memorable comment "...so many shops selling the same thing"...anyway,i brought them to BCS the next day,they preferred BCS mall to Nagoya Hill Mall becos of the more local spirit there. But only in City Walk Mall that they bought a whole luggage-load of stuffs back to Sillypore,hehehe... (they also spent quite a lot at BCS mall too,but bought nearly nothing in Nagoya Hill Mall)

These aunties used to frequent Jakarta and Medan,so they do know their stuffs (especially prices)...one of them even speak understandable bahasa too.

I am preparing for my upcoming CNY 2017 Batam now,hehehe...my priority. :p

For those lazy to read all post. I sum up this for my own trip base on my own preference and experience as a experience traveller but never to Batam. You can copy and paste into Word Docu and keep for your easy reference when you are here.
Sedona has no signboard but behind City View hotel and opposite a coffeeshop, KTV with a red door. Most were booked when I reached 1pm and leftover 7-8 all rejects.
PermataIndah is the best for my taste, some fair ones and 1-2 Chinese Indo.
NewBerry lots of girls the most, but to me, all are rejects but OKT very friendly.
I paid 900k for a girl at Pertama nego down from $1M, I say 800K and mani ask girl to go back sit haha.
Went to Planet2 disco and buy girl few drinks and then pay 500K for short time in hotel, lots of girls but too dark to see properly and action starts at after midnight or 1am.
Went to several around Utama, all reject a sorry maybe my taste high, slim sweet and hopefully fair.
Next I'll try other massage.

Bros- if this is helpful, just up my points and thanks to all those samster who contributed greatly allowing me to try a small compilation.

Booking Joint
11am+ Damage for overnight : 600K $63 to 1.5mil $150
Tipping morning: 100k to 200k

All the joints in fact can be accessed by walking from Goldbird - Memory - New berry - Happy massage 8 - Indah2 - Bunga - Permata Indah following the sequence.

1. New Berry. Locate City View Hotel, 2 shops away. >20 most lots smiling. City View Hotel is beside a Bird Shop, beside the bird shop is Berry.
New Berry closer to Gold Bird (and even closer to Formosa). Just locate Hana Hotel in your map and New berry is directly opposite,about 20 steps away.
From the front entrance of Formosa Hotel,again back facing Formosa front door...walk to the left about 60 steps away,you should see Dynasty. Opposite Dynasty (across the road) around that area you should see Queen 8933 within about 30 steps away (Queen8933 is 10 o'clock from Formosa Hotel entrance). Behind Queen8933,within sight distance, you should see New Berry.
2. Bunga Massage (directly behind DC mall). - Next to A3 Massage (ref A3 massage under massage with special). If want to try Bunga, consider covering Happy 8 which is closer to Formosa and then move on to Bunga and later Permata Indah.
3. **Permata Indah : Good number (at least 30),the most i ever. Surprise to see a few good looking at 1 mil or less. Further away (nearby Hai Hai 2 Hotel). Near Windsor Foodcourt.

4. **Happy Massage 8 : Quality dont seem too good and quantity has drop by half.
5. Gold Bird/Sedona : Around 20 plus reach about 1:30pm. A good number of SYT too. 2 Chinese Speaking girl that looks like Chinese cost around 1.2 mil $125. Opposite/nearby Lai Lai Hotel
Picked a girl at 800k, reduced from 1m because no girls show interest. The taxi 2 way trip 60k $6. i told him i am without taxi and he says 600k.
Cannot describe Gold Bird to be exactly behind Batam Star Hotel becos behind Batam Star Hotel is another building but they almost STICK back-by-back with the hotel. And almost directly behind that "back-by-back" building is Gold Bird KTV. It has no sign board
Gold Bird - >30. More than 30% SYT level, 15% "head turner". if take the 900k-1.2 mill girls bring Sillypore many men will turn their heads to look at them type. Went at 2pm for 700k (bargained down from 800k.
6. Memory (opp Panaroma Hotel)

Massage
open 10 or 11am and close around mid night.
Damage: HJ :100k $10, FJ : 200k $20, SYT just add 50k-100k more (Recommend to bargain,as you will almost ALWAYS be quote a higher price shown)
Walk across the street from Formosa Hotel is another 2 more massage shops, Linda Massage and Relax Massage. at 70k to 80k per hour,i believe its still worth exploring. (1 min walk, Relax is known to be clean, Linda is not)
Directly behind Relax Massage is the popular Indo Rasa Massage (not clean) on the 2nd floor. 1st floor is Indo Rasa Food Court where you can eat till you drop during day time and early evening.

- Delta Spa Batam (JL.Komplek Nagoya Hill blok J27-J29, , just outside nagoya hill mall,side entrance): must try, 3 sessions with free sensual HJ,
- Octopus spa (at pacific hotel 8th flr): Also not bad
- **Altalanta: Most expensive & high class massage in batam,as far as I know, gals are hand picked and SYT
- Newton spa & massage: All in place for massage, KTV and girl booking. Quite Ex place like altalanta.
- Princess massage (behind Utama Hotel): A lot of FL working here trying to hook new base of customers

CLEAN Massage.
- Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre top floor(Inside Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre)
- Crown: more for family. try walking within radius of 200m behind Harmoni Hotel
- Isabella, 5 star massage, ESA ( all in Nagoya Hill Mall): All clean, no need to think about it
- Sports massage: no need to try, but good clean massage if you need some hard massage
- Sawadee massage (got 2 branches,One in Nagoya hills Mall, 3rd floor, and the other in Top 100 Mall Peniun, just outside beside the money changer)
- Reborn Massage (Ruko Penuim Block R no 1 Near BCS Shopping Mall Batam, 29444) - other branch at opp Nagoya Hill Mall
KTV/Disco
Mostly open around 7pm
Damage for overnight : 1.2 $105 - 1.6 juta $160 onward

Alisan (lvl 4 of Formosa Hotel) 20 - 30 gals.
Damage for sitting: 250K+ $25
Damage for overnight: around 1.3 juta and up $120
KTV Room rental : 75k/hr (small room),150k/hr (big room)

M1 KTV(Harbour Bay) 60 gals
Damage for sitting: 300K
Damage for overnight: 1.6 mil+
Area around Harmoni Hotel, Panorama Regency Hotel, and Goodway Hotel is known as the area of Nagoya Entertainment District, NED. Along the way there are plenty of pubs, bars and nightclubs such as:
Sphinx Disco, located Seruni Hotel is another good late night venue with loud music and beautiful single girls. Most nights they do not charge entry fee though drinks are expensive. Around 50,000Rp for a mixed spirits drink.
Sphinx and Ozone Nightclubs is very popular among local residents of Batam.
Pacific Disco at the Pacific Hotel.

Hotel Harmuni in Kampong Bule. After that look for a pub called P P Bananas, The Oarhouse, and several others along the road stretch. All lively, happening, and safe. Some have live band. Take a peep, if you don't like leave. Else stay and buy a drink, chat with the girls. After they close, you can proceed to the discos e.g. Pacific, Newton etc.

Best pubs for me is No Name (ground flr Harmoni Hotel, local ladies and expats. Best disco is Newton (second Pacific and Planet 3, last Planet 1).
Newton Disco - at Newton Hotel, also knows as "Planet 2" ("Planet Dua"). More packed, darker and with louder music than Pacific.
Planet 3 ("Planet Tiga") - near Jodoh. Nice place and well patronized, but icy aircondition.

MASSAGE:
Blue Moon – Massage Shop – small fish tank to display 3 in the tank woke up, 1230pm, too early. 3 girls are all SYT age should be between 19 to 22, all at least 7.5/10 in looks and all of them priced at 1 mill each. Blue moon and blue light are side by side. Use Google map to find harmoni hotel, just behind the hotel. Nearby there is a Hawaii Food Court.

We all took the 90 mins for 120k massage package.
Entrance 140k with VIP room + 200k special + 2 can of Red Bull at 10k each. 250k FJ. HJ starts at 150K, if you can nego. FJ starts at 250K.

SYT – 300,000
130k/1.5 hr - in-room massage
160k/2hr - in-room massage
Got the girl strip 150k with vitalitas + hj + full roaming. Girl look was 6/10,a MILF.

Normal Room : 250k/1.5 hr $25
Provide good massage. Literally the better quality and free use of facilities. Free buffet and mineral water too. 5 to 6 masseurs average 7/10. Open mouth HJ - 400k , FJ - 700k but bargain 150k/HJ (no strip) and 300k/FJ. The plus point about this place is ,it is a very quiet place where one can have some peace of mind where using the hot/cold pool and the sauna/steam room.

SHOPPING
Lucky Plaza, Nagoya Hill Mall, BCS mall, City Walk Mall

New Berlian,Dynasty99 and Queen8933 is closed in 2015

Transport:
So it is your choice to select the transport cost from harbourbay to Formosa area (2.5km) base on the boarding location and mode of transport:

Taxi at ferry terminal : 55-60k
Taxi just outside harbourbay mall entrance : 45-50k

OTHERS:
1. KTV which usually opens around 7pm is just at the 4th floor of Formosa Hotel. Be reminded that you already have a booking girl when in a KTV for your 1st night,so you might want to save your 2nd night to grab a higher priced overnight girls from KTVs. You decide.

Massage is also at the same floor as the KTV in Formosa Hotel. You need to bargain down the price for Kings massage on the same floor on special service or get ready to be chopped. They opened till 1am. (if i dont remember wrong)

Outside Formosa Hotel front door, turn right and walk straight is Lucky Plaza. In between Lucky Plaza and Formosa Hotel is a small road. Raise your head up and you will see Nagoya Hill Mall. Turning to the right from the hotel front door,you will see lucky plaza,walking straight downward after passing by Lucky Plaza you should notice a few eateries. You will then see Mickey Mouse Bak Kut Teh (day) and New Siang Malam sea food (night falls) there.
