Define "SYT" please? The concept highly varies with the person. What is SYT for one may not qualify as "young" for another. "work in JKT" before means well seasoned already.
Thanks!

My SYT definitely different definition with most of the bro here. Anyway most of them started in this line in 18y.o or even younger, well season yes, old might not always be the case

Anyway, for my definition of syt is as long as less than 25 if by age, and by face still have the young-ish looks. I never check the passport of both the cewek, but by my estimation, the 8/10 one should be 23 or lower, the 6/10 one should be 25 or lower(partly because her face is not fantastic).

No offence ya if my definition and information is not standard.

[deepie]

Heading to btm 7th Sept to 11th Sept for my birthday celebration.
Anyone care to join me?

[OnlyLiveOnce]

I had another trip at around end of July. As early as possible without the time is a bad advice. During my trip, my first day I also went to the joint at around 10am, yes they are already opened, but only the aunty2 one is ready. The syt is mostly still preparing or buying food. Best time is at 12-1pm, if still kiasu can just be there at 11:30am and sit there and look at ea other with the aunty. LOL

Well, if you think going early is bad advice, so be it.
The timing itself is rather subjective due to your time of arrival in Batam, travelling time to booking joints, meals, shopping and other personal reasons. You should know that the ceweks need rest and do their chores after a busy night. So, arriving early usually implies a time from just before noon to early afternoon before the arrival of the bigger groups and this will also depend on whether it is weekend or public holidays here or in Batam. Even, the weather plays a part. So, do not be too smart.

Does anyone have info where in Batam can buy sex toys? I’m looking for the Zalo Aya rabbit vibrator.

You got selective reading or what? When did I say going early is a bad advice?? I was merely saying it was a bad advice because you said go as early as the joint open, and without giving a time range. First timer might read it and just go as early as 8-9am, what do you expect the bro to do there?(because I myself went as early as 10am, everyone is eating breakfast there including the papi, do you know how awkward it is?)And I clearly stated there the best timing is around 12pm, whats the diff with your early noon?

Shake my head, i will just agree to disagree with you. Bye.

[wanfulou]

Sorry if my previous post is out of topic, kindly ignore it.
Anyway, since there is already plenty of information on the girl scene. I will share something different.

Was with my girl the other day, and I don't like to go to those tourist places to eat. Ask the girl if there is any places that is not cater and full with tourist, she recommended Adi 8, located just beside Xiang Xiang. The price is quite reasonable compared to those tourist trap shop. The highlights is the ayam bawang(garlic chicken), super nice. Shop can be find with grab car.

Finally got people talk some sense here (more info sharing & less targeting on "human who post"), hehehe... :D

Yes, the basics on looking for girls are all there (in the thread itself). Not difficult to find, from booking joint to Wechat to MPs/SPAs etc,hehehe... nowaday, almost everywhere also can book girls, from salon to spa to hotel recept, hehehe... ;)

For me, only few difficult questions were on KTVs & Discotheque (yes, bro Blackpage, i hear you). I did walk by Newton & it does appears to be closed (i should have taken a photo to show you, but i forget), but then again i was there during day time so i aren't really sure either.

Everyone taste buds different. I go for the local Singapore delights, hehehe...

My favorite is at some touristy place called Penuin wet market, but when i was there, seems like it is closed for business. Therefore i go to their Grand Batam Mall branch instead on the basement.

Simple food for simple me.

497035

497036

Exchange rate : 10700/SGD

Just look at the price, hehehe....making it easier for local Singaporean to understand, hehehe... :p

On the side note, you can try the fish soup at the Penuin area near Eatern Food court (opp BCS Mall) which was 1st recommended by bro OnlyLiveOnce. Usually close shop at around 12pm on weekends tho (& often cannot find place to sit).

I hear from my sea food lover friends that it is good (sorry bro, i don't take sea food tho). And those kind of food would anytime cos over hundred Singapore dollar in Singapore if a group of 4-5 were to eat there. But in Batam, it's not expensive.

This is shocking news to me! :eek: :eek:
Thank you for thinking also about me. If you are there, would you mind, please, to ask when you pass by? If Newton disco is closed, what about Planet 3?
Newton and Pacific have been my places for many years. Pacific disappeared, now also Newton?? There MUST be a disco in Batam... :confused:

[Sochaipom]

Hi Black Page,
P1 , P2 & P3 are still open but definitely less crowd compare to pre-covid... There are lesser ceweks as well. I do remember that on weekends the canteen at p2 is crowded but now hardly can see anyone sitting there. P2 open 24 hours.

P3 hall/pub just renovated & back in operation on 4th August but have not been there yet.

Glad to see you step food in batam again after such a long time

Anyone stayed in Asialink Hotel by Prasanthi before? Is it girl friendly? I’m looking to book one room for 7 days. First 3 days with my China gf, next 4 days with my Indon gf. Thanks.

.

Agree. As for me I prefer their local Indonesian food, and I prefer to go to places that are not well known to the tourist. So far yet to find any good nasi padang that I like.

Oh and for bakkutteh, the one at A2 foodcourt quite nice also. Still need more visit to find more good food haha.

Thank you for informing.
Nono is the second person that says he passed by Newton at daytime but it looked closed. :confused:
I tried to call Newton hotel at the number on Google, but nobody answers.
On Google, there are recent reviews of people about Newton hotel. Last one 4 days ago!
If there are less cewek in disco, I wonder where they go for partying at night... Maybe stay home.
I guess my first week in Batam after COVID might be hard. Not the same environment I was used to for many years.:(

for nasi padang l recomended try selero basamo near grand batam in front of swiss bell inn batam. for bak kut teh try indorasa . near bcs have simpang empat.

if you stay near batam center can go to pasir putih food court at morning can try the simpang 4 with suang hong (the one at astro)

[Gemfindbro]

I went batam a few times with groups. Now planning to solo, advisable? What to look out for and where to go? Any bros help tia 😁

Hotel wall think & the deluxe room price do not justify the condition.I woke up to the sink piping broken due to water pressure & flooded my toilet.Do take note if u are booking Asialink easy by prashanti or Asialink hotel by prashanti.

[Makashi]

Hi seniors,

Quick qns, looking at these 2 hotels near grand batam. Bcc or swiss in. Which one better? (Bcc has breakfast)

Thanks

[dromad68]

It’s the Asialink hotel by Prashanti. What’s the difference anyway? Is it near Batam Centre? my China gf need to take earliest ferry back. Thanks.

The Asialink is a chain? Is there one near Batam Centre and is it too? I don’t mind paying more to get a nice sunrise view from the room. Marriott is like $240 a night! Too ex.

Both hotels are quite dated, I would recommend I-Hotel Baloi instead. Also very near to Grand Batam

In my recent trips I tried out Octopus spa, mami paraded 4 gold 4 platinum girl, I still duno how they determine who gold and who platinum. The 4 platinum face so so only, maybe boobs a lil bigger? Anyway I took 1 of the gold lady that keep smiling at me. No regret, she is petite and slim, the service is superb, bbbj without hands for a long time, I have to stop her myself or she might keep on going. She initiated lying flat doggie style as well, not sure if she likes it or its her secret weapon to make guy cum fast. Damage wise is 800k+. Platinum is 1.1m+ if I rmb correctly.

Curious that whenever you guys visit batam, do you guys just book LT from joint/ktv? The reason I ask is that the LT girl is value for money, because with 1.5m, she is with you for the whole day, 3 shots or more, but the service wise is definitely lacking.

[AG8238217]

I second that.

Precovid, I always went for the same therapist in Delta Spa Jakarta who would automatically stripped naked upon command and she was always very happy to see me and would hugged me tightly like a long lost lover. She was like a buffet meal; allowing me free play to whatever I wanted to do on her body although FJ & BJ were strictly no no.

I heard that they all stay in that building, only have 1 or 2 offdays in a month. So bringing small gifts works and they are Very strict on what they can do with customers. I too enjoyed the " buffet" but got more. But during my last visit in 2019 with my friends they claimed that they all got a offer $$$ for a full " buffet"

[AG8238217]

Considering octopuss is less than half the price of delta.. why delta over octpopuss?

In short ,Octopus is like a 4 ⭐️ fuckshop while delta is 5⭐️ service standard from you walk in theres greetings, one to one personal manager to see to your needs . Walk you to your room while the girl wait inside. Service is all around not like at octopus.

[sadsky18]

Got it. I go to both, octo if i want full package, delta if prefer massage + happy ending. Delta ins seems to suggest full starting at 1m, maybe thats a new thing.

Never been to batam since covid starting, making a trip there this weekend.

from what i know the different between the gold and platinum girl it's the service. some girl from gold can upgrade to platinum if the service it's good.

make sure to upgrade to presidental suite for better experience.

[botakboy]

perhaps going in october solo, anything to look out for? Also looking at good massage + bbbj kind, if can outcall to hotel will be even nicer. any intros? thank you

[A+++]

Heading over to Nagoya area coming weekend! :p

Gonna do the usual stuff, and probably try seafood for dinner at Acia Ikan Bakar. Any boss can advise is the price there better than most of those foodcourts (ie. New Windsor Foodcourt etc.)?

And is Blue Moon massage still operating after covid?

[wanfulou]

Ahh i see, but how do they determine the service level though? They have their inhouse QC inspector? Haha
I yet to try platinum girl, so cant really comment much. Because my experience with the gold lady is consider top notch for me alr.

Oh! I didnt know can upgrade the room, i was lead to a room similar to the one at veenew. Mattress on the floor, with attached shower and a TV.

Can confirm they were staying in the compound, although this was precovid unsure if any changes now. Your friend might be telling the truth 😜

If chemistry is right anything can happen behind the curtains. Bring your own rubber though

[airman]

How much tips you gave to the therapist for "everything"?

so you came prepared with rubber?

[AG8238217]

I dont tip them, dont let it feel like its a deed. I buy them little presents like perfume/jewellery/ little stuff normally around SG50 or more.Things you would give to your gf. Good thing is that most indo girls i cross are not in to $$$.

[HeatguyAlvin]

I yet to try platinum girl, so cant really comment much. Because my experience with the gold lady is consider top notch for me alr.


Can upgrade but got difference meh considering the room is mostly for the deed and lounge area to chill? Platinum girls are normally younger or have better figure. if you see a gold you like also good enough. Service standard wise both also similar tbh. Gold or Platinum i rmb both also won't complain if you cim or cob...

Take their ctc can even chill with them after work.. only once i added her on the wrong line and she found my actual Facebook account and added me.

[HeatguyAlvin]

Only hj and massage, no bbbj kind like bkk or hcmc but plenty of options even for tabao. All covered in threads before.

I prefer massage places like Octopuss, hello kitty, Delta hence i only talk about those. Good for a quick one esp when travelling with friends or colleagues. Even better if they accept cards cause can earn miles for bonking. lol

[lincoln3010]

Spa wise
I think Fame Spa is pretty good.
Had many friends frequent there all the time when they regularly visit batam.

[klip2345]

Thinking of heading there. Does anybody have a recommended trip report to follow ?

Sometime ago I did a check and there was a on arrival vaccination it totally turned me off. :D

The best trip I had was when a cab driver took me to some ullu place and I waited for 2 hours behind a hotel in some random dark park waiting for chicks to come to a building before I decided WTF and returned home. For 2 hours no one turned up. :D

[btmchiong]

Hope to have a good answer on this.
How much do you guys think is sufficient to stay

[flex0rnaut]

Do bare with me as I'm a newbie chiongster.

This post will be very different from traditional style where you go to physical parlours. This is catered to more tech-savvy users.


1. Twitter

I've found that there is a market for the of whole Indonesia (not only batam).
These are escorts whom are independent. They will either have a hotel to host or do outcalls to your hotel.

To refine your search, you would want to search keywords like BObatam availbatam. 498972

Most of these are catered to locals hence why some require a deposit.

Just DM them.

2. MiChat

Download the app MiChat (sexual services of Wechat)

You can simply look for them in "People Nearby"

Maybe if your profile and Bio is good, you will have several escorts/masseuse dming you.

Otherwise, their BIO will usually state their intentions. They may have ST/LT/Massage(Pijat).

Some are not so straightforward.
Bios along the lines ' yg jelas aja ' translates: Only to the point - in other words, just be straightforward and not dodgy.

Just proceed to send a greeting and ask for the services they provide

Price range

ST: $40-80
LT $70-$150
Massage: $20-40
Massage ++: $40-60

Keywords

ST = Short time: 2hours unlimited/1-3 shots
LT = Long Time: Overnight unlimited shots
RR = Rates and Rules
COD = Cash on Delivery
DP = Downpayment
++ = Massage plus plus (Massage with FJ/BJ)

Pro tips

-You can always try to ask for "other photos" or "Clearer photos" to confirm your decision.

-Act like a regular, tell them you're surveying and they may give you some discounts or have some room to nego.

Cons

- They may not be fluent in English
- Photos may be heavily filtered.

Hopefully this helps!

[benny1991]

Just go to the booking joints, many are already oerating or go to social media like WeChat, Tantan,, etc..to pick up some.

[wanfulou]

Wechat and michat is full of landmines lol. When I open it, got influx of messages. Got a bit bored in the night, entertain some of them, ask for video call, 2/3 of them will come out of different excuse not to do it. Then the 1/3 who do it, will be totally different from the photo. Engaged 1 who looks ok from the video call, but when come there is still difference. Personally will totally avoid outcall.

Anyway, out of topic a bit, not sure if you guys noticed. But since the restriction lifted up, if you use wechat/michat in SG now, you will noticed loads of Indonesian FL now, I suspect they come from Batam. The rates is like $250/2hours lol. Might as well go for Dome1.

[HeatguyAlvin]

Wechat and michat is full of landmines lol.

Unfortunately it is like this for batam, not about being tech savvy or not but its always better to go down and pick, and its not hard honestly. You can also find information about joints in Batam on kaskus

[New to the acti]

Search thru my knowledge of Batam, there is a spa(Venue Spa if my memory is correct), behind next blk next to Sahid Hotel, ard 1.5 to 2 km away fm Harris Btm Center. Whether Happying End or Sad Ending depending on ur speech capability. The rest r thru hp ctc also ur speech capability. Btm Center r more a Central Administration district and Residential area.

If the purpose of you wanted to walk is to save the cost of driver making the booking cost higher, you may take grab to nearby the joint. Grab normally just 20k +-

Mawar - Grab to Diamond City Mall, mawar is just opposite it.
Sekar - Grab to Hana hotel, sekar is just opposite it.
Dlink & Memory ktv - Grab to Hotel Grand Palace - both ktv is left and right of the hotel.

Not sure about other joint though, i still newbird in batam.

Thanks guys for the suggestion, but no the purpose is not to save the money...its more of a for convenience as I'm going over for work so won't be able to run around too much. Anyway thanks again for the advice 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey bros, anyone stayed at Batam Harbour Boutique Hotel before?? Heading over to Batam in mid September. Planning to go to the joints as well. Any advice for newbies? Help appreciated.

Harris batam centre is 7-10 km far away from Nagoya. You need a taxi to go to any of those places, which takes half an hour to reach Nagoya.

if you staying at harris just use grab to go venus to vm
for fj can go near dc mall good one or hk or new home spa

right now the weather not very good for walking always raining, and never pay the grab using cash just use grabpay or credit card way better.

if you want to go from batam center ferry terminal when arrived go to 2nd floor use the skybrigde to go mega mall go down to starbucks or pizza hut to use grab or gojek in there.

never use grab or gojek inside the ferry terminal

[momba]

any hotel in batam with a spa or massage place like formosa last time? thanks.

[nitecrawllerr]

Any idea why not encourage to use cash?

How about Harbourbay? Can call grab inside terminal?

for cash problem the driver will demand you to pay more that the fare if you pay using the cash exp : 15k ride they will ask for more from the app just becareful right now because the grab/gojek driver fee become less and less and the driver too many so they will earn less so they will find someway to get more money.

[lincoln3010]

Wanna hang out for drinks later?

[sbftiankon]

hi can let me know near grand batam mall have any f shop ?

[miumiu6464]

Any idea why not encourage to use cash?

How about Harbourbay? Can call grab inside terminal?

For my trips over the last 3 months, I've used Grab/Gojek/Maxim with cash and cashless payments. I've not encountered drivers asking for more than what's quoted in the apps.

My trips during the last 2 months, we booked Grab and waited for the car at Marriott Hotel pickup/dropoff point below the ramp to the main lobby. What's interesting is that, after we boarded the car. On our way out, i notice a kiosk that is catered for online taxis pickup. Those who had booked online to taxis at Grand Batam Mall and boarded the car opposite the door at Top100, there is a similar kiosk for online taxi pickup as the one i saw at harbourbay after Marriot Hotel and Serdehana Nasi Padang.

The 2-3 times we booked Grab in HarbourBay and stated pickup at Marriot Hotel pickup/dropoff point, the driver is ok to pick us up there. I don't know whether it's the same at Batam Center though.

[miumiu6464]

New Spa (or Venew Spa as they are known now) at Batam City Hotel. Their package include hj (just like Venus Spa near Hotel Sahid at Batam Center).

[HeatguyAlvin]

cause they always act like they don't have change so you will always pay them round up...

there are safe zones for drop off /pick-up points for Grab & Gojek.. there's one at marriott batam... then walk from there..

Batam centre cannot pick-up, can is can but the mall opposite or by the side of the road. Grab & Gojek driver will type or call in Indonesian say they scared to go in.

Grand Batam mall has an official pickup point and the only ferry terminal with an official pick-up or drop off is harbourbay.... if you book from marriott batam.

[xguy2]

Maybe a naive question but could one make a day trip from Singapore and get a few hours of fun in Batam? Also if looking for younger Indos which spa/hotel place is best these days - like worth booking for 2 hours plus?

[deca]

Any bros here with experience staying at Batam City Hotel? The hotel has a spa - do you know if they will come to your room for massage if you’re staying at the hotel? For that matter, any hotels in Batam has such spa and service? Thank you in advance! 🙏

[nitecrawllerr]

15k ride they will ask for more from the app just becareful right now because the grab/gojek driver fee become less and less and the driver too many so they will earn less so they will find someway to get more money.

During precovid days, i normally pay exact fare or just give 20k if fare is 17k. I havent experience driver asking for more. I paid in cash.

Me too. So far no problem with grab driver. Normally paid according to the fares reflected in my HP. Ok, next time i would just walk over to Marriot hotel and book grab.:)

[nono1973]

This is shocking news to me!
Thank you for thinking also about me. If you are there, would you mind, please, to ask when you pass by?

Will try to do so if i pass by there.

Anyway, whether Newton still in operation or not, you will still come to Batam, right? :D

Glad to see you step food in batam again after such a long time

Hehehe...Batam changed a lot. Quality of good & better girls not as much as before covid time.

The worst part of my last trip was i have to reboot everything i know in Batam.

In other word, i feel like a newbie..hehehe..i started from scratch all over again. :(

Agree. As for me I prefer their local Indonesian food, and I prefer to go to places that are not well known to the tourist. So far yet to find any good nasi padang that I like.


Everyone's preferred food is different.

You use Grab food or Go food apps right? If you happen to like a particular kind of food in Batam, can order direct from Grab food or Go food to your hotel. 95% plus of all good & better food known in Batam can be ordered to your hotel,hehehe...that's almost everything you need at your finger tip. ;)

My favourite Meximo pub wantan noodle can be ordered from those apps, & all the Micky mouse BKT in various location + etc etc too.

Don't know where to find good Nasi Padang? My advise...try EVERY Nasi Padang in Batam whenever you are there. You'll find one you like one day. :D

* much often, i bring the "try everything" attitude to Batam to find things i like there.

Thank you for informing.
Nono is the second person that says he passed by Newton at daytime but it looked closed.
I tried to call Newton hotel at the number on Google, but nobody answers.


If there is anything i learned in Batam, that is do not believe what my eyes can see in Batam,hehehe...

Below is a building called Harbour Bay Mall. The whole building is left only with skeleton structure.

500325

If i tell there are shops STILL in business in this buidling, will you believe me?


500326

Photos were taken last month on the same day.

Ok, back to Newton.

Newton Hotel has been close since before covid time, that is as far i have known. But during then the disco is still in operation. I said i walk pass Newton during the day. I don't think Newton discotheque is in operation during day time tho. :p

For my trips over the last 3 months, I've used Grab/Gojek/Maxim with cash and cashless payments. I've not encountered drivers asking for more than what's quoted in the apps.


Same here, never encounter any Gojek/GoCar/Maxim driver who ask for more than the quoted amount,hehehe...even if they do i also don't understand what they say tho. :D

Place in Harbour Bay ferry terminal to wait for your Gojek/GoCar/Maxim driver.

500329

A friend brought me there & order his taxi there.

I have not waited there before, i usually wait in my hotel lobby...hehehe...i notice Maxim, a new app in Batam. Hotel receptionist helped me booked a taxi with it. Seems like it is a bit cheaper than Gojek & Grab.

Till now, i STILL don't have grab/gojek/maxim apps on my phone. :D

Any bros here with experience staying at Batam City Hotel? The hotel has a spa - do you know if they will come to your room for massage if you’re staying at the hotel?

Batam City Hotel base on pre-covid time has in house massage from New spa. Then again, this info is before covid time. I used to stay there before & have request for in house massage for myself & my girl(s).

That was the time i learned a massage girl from New Spa (ex-Delta girl) was gang raped in the hotel room.

For that matter, any hotels in Batam has such spa and service? Thank you in advance!

I was about to tell you Utama hotel, but my recent trip tells me Utama hotel already closed down.

Try staying in Hotels near DC mall or ex-Utama hotel area, the MPs around there allows their girls to go hotel to do the massage for customer. And almost all of the MPs near DC Mall are "dirty massage".

[Naka_Timo]

Will try to do so if i pass by there.

[kbt7046]

I alway pay in cash when taking Grab or Go Car overseas, never encounter any problem. Although sometimes I pay slightly more than the fare stated on apps, but the amount is very small, under RP5,000 which is less than SGD $0.5, can't be bother about it. I avoid using VISA or MASTER overseas as not only the exchange rate is bad, there is also risk of information theft. I don't want to expose my card details. It is also very troublesome to get refund if being overcharge or unauthorised transactions occur.Money in my Grab or Gojek wallet are in SGD$, can't be use for payment of fare overseas. So I still prefer to settle everything in cash, even in SG, I seldom go cashless.

[wanfulou]

Luckily way before my first visit to batam, I already knew the grab driver will surely chut pattern like some other country. Thats why whenever I book any grab driver, I will make sure I have small change of 5k, 10k, and 20k. Then pay them exactly the amount, then tips accordingly if you feel like it.
If give them 50k, or 100k, confirm will chut pattern say no small change.

[HeatguyAlvin]

Everyone's preferred food is different.

For me it was sad for me to find out Bella Italia at Harbourbay is closed :( .

At least my favourite seafood spot rezeki is still there

[HeatguyAlvin]

I alway pay in cash when taking Grab or Go Car overseas, never encounter any problem.

Aiya whatever makes your sampan float lor... Some people use fx cards with good rates so the exchange is bare minimum. Some decide to use cash and small notes to pay exact (hard for those who exchange rupiah at ferry terminal cause all 50k notes). Some don't mind rounding off to flat amount cause only $1,$2, some people mind.

Some like to go batam cause expensive hotels like Marriott is cheaper, some like to stay ever cheaper. Idea is there also may be grab driver who act they dont have change, some who don't.

Share nia no big deal

[BFOMF5]

In other word, i feel like a newbie..hehehe..i started from scratch all over again. :(

5 years of living in batam....
just because of covid every thing gone.
haii....really need to restart.


My favourite Meximo pub wantan noodle can be ordered from those apps, & all the Micky mouse BKT in various location + etc etc too. .......
Don't know where to find good Nasi Padang? My advise...try EVERY Nasi Padang in Batam whenever you are there. You'll find one you like one day. :D

for me I really missed my kidney/pig Blood fr Panuin and
Nasi Padang fishhead and sambaijo near the UTAMA "longkang"



....I said i walk pass Newton during the day. I don't think Newton discotheque is in operation during day time tho....

haha I think you passed by too late, II remember my early morning trip to market (for replenishment of my shop) at around 6-7am. can alway heard that music still ponding

[/QUOTE]
Utama that was my regular hotel when you regulared Formosa.
yes guest could freely use the spa and gym but facility was a little old. inhouse massage girls cmi.. so used to pay extra Rp. to get girl from neighbor MP to came over.

Think would be revisit as a newbie within this month.

Any one can hold my hand?

[nono1973]

Thanks for sharing, ya most of thing change. What yo ned to reboot?

Reboot almost equate to Re-Start.

景物依舊 人事已非

Place/location no change, pricing (food & necessities) no change...only the people in it & things they do changed.

You won't believe it, i actually lost my way in Batam around Utama Hotel area when sunset,hehehe... :D

I am now a newbie in Batam,hehehe... need to compile more information 1st, then can share them here.

I rated myself as level zero in Batam for now.

By November/December 2022, should reach level One. Then i can start to "jio" my friends to join me in my Batam trips.

...I will make sure I have small change of 5k, 10k, and 20k. Then pay them exactly the amount, then tips accordingly if you feel like it.

I think this is a pretty much common sense thing in most 3rd world country. I often keep some small loose notes, or at least enough to pay for small items like a drink from convenience stall etc.

It just like taking a taxi in Singapore & i give driver S$1000 note (or even S$10000 note) & expect driver to have change. Likewise for Indonesia Batam too. Indonesia's highest dollar note is 100k rupiah, 2nd biggest is 50k rupiah. Singapore 2nd biggest note is S$1000/S$500 note (which still in circulation).

I would refrain from using credit card as much as possible in any 3rd world country.

For me it was sad for me to find out Bella Italia at Harbourbay is closed :( .

I guess over 2.5 years of tourist deprived market in that area makes the restaurant unsustainable.

At least my favourite seafood spot rezeki is still there

If you are a restaurant-ambience-conscious diner, then GoFood/Grab Food or the likes of it may not be suitable for you. :p

5 years of living in batam....
just because of covid every thing gone.
haii....really need to restart.

I thought i was the only one who got that "FEELING", didn't expect you felt that too.

It will be easier for you since unlike myself, i have language barrier, relying on google translate 95% of the time. And i got transport issue as i do not use GoCar/Gojek/Maxim apps.

Still looking for a justifiable priced transportation.

Need a Re-Start aka Reboot.

I am taking my own sweet time with "rest & relax mood" to do so tho.

Just have to find where to start from (still need to start somewhere).

I'm still feel "lost" (in Batam) at the point of this post tho. :(

for me I really missed my kidney/pig Blood fr Panuin and
Nasi Padang fishhead and sambaijo near the UTAMA "longkang"

Your favorite food all rather "exotic", mine is just basic simple ones, hehehe...

Food was never an issue to me.

My number 1 on the list issue is still "how to make clean MP, dirty". :D

haha I think you passed by too late, II remember my early morning trip to market (for replenishment of my shop) at around 6-7am. can alway heard that music still ponding

True, i was there during noon when i got "lost" (yes, again, 2nd time on my same trip) in between my walk from Utama area.

Passed by & it looks deserted from the outside but i have emphasized that seeing isn't believing when it comes to Batam.

Utama that was my regular hotel when you regulared Formosa.

For your info, Hotel 18 still in operation.

Utama is like Formosa in many aspect, from its room design, furniture, beddings, elevator etc. Even the manageress were as good as Sinta from Formosa (someone who would provide a solution, rather than just a clean rejection). Just that the facilities were on the aging side.

yes guest could freely use the spa and gym but facility was a little old. inhouse massage girls cmi.. so used to pay extra Rp. to get girl from neighbor MP to came over.

I'm surprise you said the girls in Utama Spa CMI.

Perhaps we went there at the different years of the time. My impression of the massage girls there were better than formosa's King MP. I even get to book some of the girls for overnight too.

Quality of girls in terms of looks, i'd rate them between 7-7.5 (age around 24-27). That is base on comparison with Delta's or Octopuss's 8 to 8.5 quality. (when Altalanta men's spa closes down, some girls hopped over there)

Service level beats any booking joint hands down. Thats given the fact that their 1 hr massage skill level were close to if not better than those in many MPs.

Best of all, booking price only 1 juta before covid time.

The bad thing is they can only come to my room after they finishes work which is usually around midnight. They leave my room usually between 9-10am next day.

Think would be revisit as a newbie within this month.

Any one can hold my hand?

Newbie here too.

Sorry bro, got many girls handsss to hold on to already, i only got 2 hands, hehehe.... :D

If you can come to Batam between 7th to 10th of this month at the hotel where i stayed in, 1st night room stay on me (pls pm me).

*I better state clearly, i am not sharing room with you,hehehe... I got free 1 night room stay for you to stay for 2 person (with breakfast) in the hotel i stayed in.

Few things i need to do in this coming Sept 2022 trip.

1. Get a hair cut (nowaday go Batam, its a MUST to go for haircut,hehehe..even when my hair is short). My friends say i'll go botak soon if i go Batam every week,hehehe... :p

2. Buy a haversack to replace my current one.

3. Get my Indo phone line fixed.

4. Rest & relax.

5. Plan for my next trip on Oct 2022.

I'm going on much slower pace compare to before covid time. I don't set a target for myself to hit. My priority is to relax, rest myself since i am badly deprive of that in Singapore.

In my last trip i checked Aiko at A2 closed down.

500656

Same for the Aiko at the petrol station opp BCS too (both Aiko MP has closed down).

Next to visit is my Favorite MP (weekdays only)...

500657

Made "dirty" in my MP listings before Covid time, but becomes "clean" again after Batam re-open. Gonna need a few more trips to Debest hotel to make them "dirty" again,hehehe...no harm trying.

Just a bit of my sharing for now.

[yuanswang]

How much tips you gave to the therapist for "everything"?

so you came prepared with rubber?

Most of the indo girls ok with no rubber also. Some very careful persons strongly prefer rubber, so sfaty is your own preference if you go indo.

Lucky thing u don't understand what they say or else base on what i knew abt u, u are more likely to bargain for less than the stated taxi fare. :rolleyes:

Anyone heading there this weekend ?

[nono1973]

Posting this QR code taken from Harbour Bay so that in future i can just simply come to SBF to scan it before i go to Batam.

Since many people is unlikely to have internet connection by the time they reached Harbour Bay ferry terminal & to get connected, time will be wasted at the custom with the help of staffs trying to get online there. I just scan at when i am in Singapore Harbourfront Ferry terminal, screenshot & save it on my phone. By the time i reach harbour bay, just show them since there is an one hour timezone difference between Singapore & Indonesia.

501415

501416

Since need to download the Pedulilindungi app, so i thought i just post the QR code here. Just testing if it will work.

Hehehe...i just tested on my Pedulilindungi apps & it works well (both attached photos in this post works).

If anyone has the Batam center ferry terminal version of QR code, do help to post it here (for convenient sake). :D

Thank you.

[btmchiong]

this is the batam center ferry terminal qr code

last time using majestic ferry they have it in the ferry when boarding the staff will ask you to scan it

[benbee]

My experience at batam center, early aug went in solo there's few table outside arrivals gate, I only show once my vac cert on my phone. follow by late aug and 6th sep they never check, I just hand over arrivals card to them & off i go. In batam I don't even have the safe entry apps, none of the malls ask for it.

[nitecrawllerr]

Went in thru harbourbay. All rushing in. Theres two female staffs couldnt cope. So many bypass the pelindungi scan and went in straight to imm counters.😁

If you are there, would you mind, please, to ask when you pass by?

I went to have my "haircut" near Utama area & happens to see Newton building.

https://i.pilo.ovh/images/bue1p.gif

Food court still open there, but...

501521

I checked with the security sitting on a chair under this signboard with my google translate, he tells me Newton disco still in operation.

501522

As i was there at noon, he might be worry that i didn't know what time Newton discotheque starts. He tells me Newton discotheque starts from 10pm onward (comes at 10pm onward).

Hope this helps answer your doubts you have over the last few months. :)

Bro, I went in yesterday. Today afternoon came back.:D

I never like to be the first nor the last pax.:D Infront of me was like a dozen pax. All walking so fast, so kancheong. Ferry half full even though its school holidays. The ferry fare is the killer.:o

Bro. Any idea taxi or grab fare fm punggur to BTC?

can't use grab in the punggur because of local taxi.
in the grab app around 100k but if using local taxi maybe 200k or 250k

[nitecrawllerr]

in the grab app around 100k but if using local taxi maybe 200k or 250k

U are right. I just checked. Its abt 250k for taxi. Grab so cheap. Tats why i prefer boking thru grab. At HB jetty i booked thru grab too.

[miumiu6464]

Just tried booking GrabCar from HB. This time, the driver request that we proceed to the Gojek Pickup Point that is in front of Serdehana Nasi Padang to wait for his car. Well, at least we are able to book GrabCar from HB and not at the mercy of taxi drivers.

[Lonnely]

Hi will be going to batam in 2 weeks time. 1st Time since covid. Any hotels to recommend? Also are the joint still located in the same place or change. Any expert can share the location or map? Thanks a million

[maddog_mlvn]

Bro. Any idea taxi or grab fare fm punggur to BTC?

Hv try b4 Covid-19 shut down fm Nagoya to Punggur kampung Tua by Go Car 100k, return to BTC Terminal normal taxi 100k. After border open try Nagoya to Punggur Kampung Tua by Go Car 100k, return by Go Car Kampung Tua to BTC Terminal 70k, continue to Nagoya I pay another 35k cash. I usually pay fm Mega Mall to Nagoya 35k to 38k, depend on the time and weather.

Pacific disco still in operation? :D

Closed several years ago, maybe in 2018 or even before. Regrettably.
It has been my first disco in Batam. I cannot forget the DJ girl overlooking the crowd, and the nice waiters.

[BFOMF5]

Bro. Any idea taxi or grab fare fm punggur to BTC?
Bro I don't grab to punggur, early time I used Orange-Angkot, IIRC Only 15k one way. Pre-covid I drive or ride.

Btw when the trans batam bus started operation few year ago....punggur was in the map. Hope they are runing now.

Octopuss @ Pacific Palace lvl 8 is still open! Below post quite long. Sorry for it.

After lift doors open at Lvl 8, Octopuss recep is just right in front. Recep asked if I wanted massage and after finding out I had no booking, she asked if I knew the rates. She explained that it would cost me 376,000 IDR for an Executive Room and it comes with a 90 minute Shiatsu massage with 1 HJ. (She also explained that ML cannot choose and will be random.) To be honest, I was quite stunned that it was so blatant. Agreed to it and she gave me a key tag.

Went in and was greeted by a Mamasan of sorts, who sat me down and asked if I wanted Massage or ST. I went ahead with massage and she gave the option of Medium or Hard. Take note that Medium is a more petite ML and Hard will be a ML that is more gemok (in her words). Went for the Medium massage and she asked if I wanted a room with bathtub, with I declined. (Room with bathtub will be 400+k IDR but I am not there to soak leh) Waited in the lounge. Bros can order drinks there, which cost between 22,000 IDR (~SGD 2.20) to 40,000IDR for fruit juice. Saw that there was whirlpool and sauna but didn't go explore. Maybe next time. After 5 minutes, I was escorted through some doors and towards a corridor with alot of different room doors. Most of them had high heels and a pair of guy footwear outside.

Was excited and went into my room and was greeted by Rachelle, who is not bad looking for Batam standard. Short skirt with the safety shorts peeking out. The room is basically a massage mattress on the floor, with some mirrors and also the pole on the ceiling where the ML can hold and then step on you. Open concept shower toilet with glass wall at the back.

Before massage begin, ML confirm that it is Shiatsu and proceeds to lock the door and called the recep. Told me to strip and lie down. During the massage, ML spoke in broken english. The massage was legit good. Press the tight spots and not piano fingers kind. (If only SG "dirty" massage got such standard). Thoroughly enjoyed the massage for almost 45 mins with some slight teasing and then flip over. She pop GQ and asked if want Karma Sutra oil. Had no idea what it was but I agreed anyway since only 50,000IDR extra (~SGD5). To be honest, no idea what that was.

ML sat across me cross legged and propped my legs over her legs. Her hands roam around my chest and butt/balls area but was quite robotic about it. I tried to roam but she keep declining and pushing my hands away. After deed was done, she wipe me off and took out body soap and a brand new loofah. Told me to stand in the shower and she then started to soap me with the loofah. Thought she will B2B me, but never leh.

Gave her 200,000IDR (~SGD 20) tips because I really liked the massage . Also tried to get her to come my hotel next time but she decline and insisted that I come back here instead. Maybe got bad experience or dangerous stories before. Went back to recep, paid and exited the premises.

All in all, damage was 376,000IDR (~SGD 37.6) for massage + HJ, 50,000 IDR (~SGD 5) for oil and 200,000IDR (~SGD 20) = 626,000IDR (~SGD62.6) all in. WORTH IT and will be back! Singapore cannot even get massage at that price.

Sorry again for the long post. Next time will try Delta and Phoenix. Hear say Phoenix is 500,000 IDR all in before tips and can choose ML via pictures on tablet.

That's all bros. Anything can PM me but I might take some time to reply.

nice fr man for the kamasutra oil just upsale from them so they can get extra money.

can try venew or venus for more if you want same with th1 but can see the face in tv when arrived at the place.

Just tips for using Taxi at Batam

if you arrived at Batam center ferry terminal :
use the skybridge to mega mall. in mega mall you can book using gojek or grab without the threat from local taxi.

if you arrived at harbourbay ferry terminal :
just walk to Shu Guo Yin Xiang Batam near there have pickup location for grab or gojek.

Never been to Delta or Phoenix, but visited Octopuss before for the full course, mami will parade the girl for me to choose.

Like another bro suggested, if you just want a good massage with HJ, you could try Veenew spa, can choose the ML via the photo on the screen. You can even look at their tiktok and photo at their instagram, so the difference wont be too big, WYSIWYG apart of some photoshop.

from what l know if pinix if you want massage better skip pinix because the girl focus on fj so ig you get the room they will upsales you to fj them around 700-900k

"Gave her 200,000IDR (~SGD 20) tips because I really liked the massage"

You should have used this SGD20 as a bargaining chip for auto roaming

I will normally ask the therapist to allow me to roam while she hj me in return for $ and normally they will name a price.

Any recommendation for a place with live band and dancing floor? And is reasonably crowded on weekdays? Don’t want a place like NoName bar which is practically empty during weekdays. The band will continue to play but only a couple of people are there.

Weekdays quite hard. Can check out the following:
- Holywings Live Band Area (Liveband very good IMO. More atas. Cannot really dance on dancefloor at the live band area but for sure can pick up girls there from other tables)

- Square @ iHotel Level 2 (No dancefloor but got local uni chicks and FL around)

- Foreplay (There can dance, but the crowd very hit/miss)

[kbt7046]

For my experience, it is hard to get Grab or GoCar at Harbour Bay. Maybe the fare is too low, so drivers not interested to accept bookings. Anyway taxi fare from Harbour Bay to Planet Holiday or Harmoni Suites is just RP50,000. Whereas it is much easier to get the Private Hire car at the mall opposite Batam Centre. Taxi fare from Batam Centre to Nagoya cost RP150,000 compare to under RP40,000 on either GoCar or Grab Car, saving much significant. There are also more ferry service at Batam Centre, however journey take longer . Ferry trip takes extra 10 minutes and road journey to Nagoya from Batam Centre also takes extra 20 minutes.

Do you know what’s the price like? I read some reviews which were like 2 years ago for Square. They say cover charge is 200,000 ($20) for a beer. That sounds expensive. Do you know the prices at Holywings and Foreplay? Foreplay is not non-smoking right? Not looking to pick up girls; just want to listen to live band performance. Like in Bangkok Soi Cowboy. How about Grand Dragon? I read it’s good and cheap.

[nitecrawllerr]

The driver request that we proceed to the Gojek Pickup Point that is in front of Serdehana Nasi Padang to wait for his car.

After passport clearance i would normally took a slow walk to Morning bakery. After my lunch there, i would book for grabcar. :D

After border open try Nagoya to Punggur Kampung Tua by Go Car 100k, return by Go Car Kampung Tua to BTC Terminal 70k, continue to Nagoya I pay another 35k cash. I usually pay fm Mega Mall to Nagoya 35k to 38k, depend on the time and weather.

100k fm Nagoya-Punggur is reasonable. Yesterday was at Holiday Planet. Navigate my HP. It was 130K to Punggur. Sightly more. Maybe it was at Jodoh. But fm the hotel to BTC @40K.:p

Bro I don't grab to punggur, early time I used Orange-Angkot, IIRC Only 15k one way. Pre-covid I drive or ride.

When we have all the time, no need to rush. I would have done the same like you. 15K is really economically priced.:D

Hi guys, I'm new here. planning to go Batam end of the month. feel free to join. kinda sad as my regular FL (tiktok @heiyou259) seems like not replying my msg. PM me if anyone know her or wanna join me for Batam trip.

[HeatguyAlvin]

Not sure what you so worried about cause even if you bump into someone you know what are the chances they will share given they are there also. Met someone in the workplace at Octopuss and also like that.

[Ilovebatam0101]

Hi will be going to batam in 2 weeks time. 1st Time since covid. Any hotels to recommend? Also are the joint still located in the same place or change. Any expert can share the location or map? Thanks a million
only couple of joints are still in the same place but quality of girls have changed quite abit since precovid days. suggest you check out the usual MM, SK, links, all still there same place since precovid days. newer ones would include SH(near hana), quality of girls slightly better overall for newer joints. Of cuz if u want top tier girls, u shd just go ktv cuz there are where the best girls are (attitude, playability and looks wise).

For hotels, depends on ur budget, for 20$ range try barelang or hana, if u have better budget >40-80 per night, can go planet holiday, Da vienna, nagoya mansion, aston or fave hotel. Actually just book within nagoya area and u can easily access any nightlife spot.

[Ilovebatam0101]

Am planning a trip to batam next week, anyone wanna come join me let me know as I just got ditch by my regular bros to go VN :(. Already choing since June till now on and off. Feel free to ask me any questions on clubbing, ktv and joints if you do join me, will try my best to share my experience.

How about Grand Dragon? I read it’s good and cheap.

Foreplay can smoke. Most places in Indo all can smoke.

I didn’t experience cover charge in square leh. These places I mention all pretty good band. But pricey. I would say holy wings most value for money since the service is a lot better and “view” also better. Foreplay more local but not cheap. One tower is like $90.

Most KTV places all have live band on one of the floors.

[Gigawawa]

I asked earlier before and someone replied the girls there are mostly only interested in full svc and will black face if otherwise. Cant go till next month so unless you can wait till i go and then i can share lol

*Edit oh wait it was you lol

[Ilovebatam0101]

Hi Bros,
Any KTV to recomend?
What is the going rate for the hostess?
Thanks

depends on ur budget.
Most KTVs girls are ranging 600k - 1 juta. if u wanna bring back its 2juta to 4juta depending on which category. (unless u got chemistry then u can nego much lower)

Most fun/ playability girls would be morena/ boombastic or dragon.
if u on a budget, try k2, there are 500k range for girls, minimum charge for cheapest room also is 1juta.
but of cuz each places has its fair share of fun girls and crappy ones so see your luck.

Others u can try include the usual m1/m2/galaxy/pacific/thrive.

most budget would of cuz be links/ dynasty but you pay for what u get.

[Sex Kid]

Last week 15th to 17th, i go Batam for 2 nights. Ferry is $70 2 way. Harbour bay is very different from 5-6 years ago which is the last time I go.

I stay in Planet Holiday hotel, junior suite room.

Price in Batam now increase. Many girls places close already but have new ones also opened.

Memory has a lot of girls but not my taste.

I go and see Hello Kitty. Price from 500k plus to 800k plus depending on package or standard. But choose girls from pictures in their mobile phone.

I just go to one of the street cafe to drink some coffee and eat something. I sian the girl there working as Chef. So she finish work, go out with me. We go A2 food centre for some food. Although cheaper than Singapore, but not much cheaper.

Then we go F1 Club. I open one bottle in private room on 2nd floor but of course cannot finish the bottle. Quite cheap as less than Rp1 mil.

Then i invite her to room. Her body is the fittest girl I ever seen. Also 19 years old only.

She stay with me until next day she has to go to work. I give her Rp3 mil. She ask why I give her so much but I think its ok.

2nd day, I go wash hair, walk around shop. Evening I go to the Karaoke in Planet Holidy hotel. Waaaa... the girls here got standard. Got about 20 to 39 girls.

Room charge for Karaoke is Rp400k with some drinks. I think 4 cans.

Girls escort you in Karaoke is Rp800K. LT is Rp3 mil.

I spend some time in karaoke and took one girl LT. She's quite good, like GF type and go back next day 10am.

Thank you bros.

To each his own (& my own).

Not so sure what is big budget. Highest budget bro in this thread spent more than 30 juta rupiah in a few days at Batam, hehehe...hence 3 juta one night is really nowhere close.

In my last month's trip (August 2022), i bought the girls in a particular hair saloon a meal (with drinks) each for the day (cost me 180k rupiah), they remembered me. There are 6 to 7 of them working there,i think.

(i'm trying to learn to "hunt" like bro blackpage,hehehe...but i am actually "farming")

On Sept 2022, one of the girls who did my hair for me followed by hair wash & some shoulder massage + free face wash.

I ask her since her massage makes me feel good, "did you used to work in a MP before & how she acquire such good skills?" I got lucky with this question, she said "Yes, she used to work in a mp 5 months ago...". I ask her if she ever go hotel do massage or not. I got another lucky answer when she said "Yes".

My next question is how much would it cost to go to my hotel room to do massage for me?

Her answer is , "this would be like overnight booking and if so, she can only go to me after her work hours".

I asked, "...massage in Batam average 1 hour 100k rupiah?".

She laughed and said,"...it is not calculated that way, booking price is usually 1juta to 1.5 juta".

Then i ask her how much she charge, she said 1.5 juta.

I told her that is too much, told her last month (Aug 2022) i book a very old aged 24-25 year old girl cost only 800k rupiah. And she also comes after work.

She said lowest she can go is 1 juta.

I told her she comes after her work, which is close to midnight already. I probably only can manage 2 shots & she also probably won't have much energy to work on me too,hehehe...

Told her that her price too expensive. I will need to think about it,hehehe...we exchanged numbers.

Around 7pm+ that evening (which is about an hour after i come back hotel), she called. We settled for 800k rupiah. :D

She left next morning at around 9am with 1 juta,hehehe....with extra 200k rupiah tips. She's happy & i told her i am going to get another hair cut from next month (Oct 2022). :D

Oh, by the way, the hair cut cost me 100k including hair wash, shoulder massage & face wash.

Go to hair saloon, my hotel receptionist help me book through Maxim around 14k +, i give 20k rupiah.

Coming back from salon, the manageress of the shop drives me back. :p

Will explore more next month (Oct 2022).

also now you knew mod dun simply remove your post for nothing...:)

Now you know why i don't share as much as i did before in this thread?

Places i frequent, overnight booking price will one day cost more than 2 juta rupiah if i start replying my FRs in full details,hehehe.... Batam is like that, same "vege" if seen in KTVs or some high end premises will cost 2 juta & above. But if seen elsewhere will cost very much lesser. All one needs to know is where to find where those "elsewhere" were at.

Batam is fun (i feel it is more fun than before covid time in my last 2 trips).

I can feel the price increase for booking girls already...hehehe...but i can't feel the price increase for food. Hence my conclusion is girl's price is inflated by "human" factor from oversea, food price is inflated by the world market factor? :p

Talk about price increase.

My favourite curry puff from Swee's has gone up from 3500 rupiah to 4500 rupiah.... :(

I think you misunderstood the meaning of farming.

"Farming" is not chatting and saying BS for days in advance (pretending you are there on site or overseas is not really relevant).
"Farming" means to give little money in advance, apparently in change of nothing if not friendship, to show that one is not stingy but willing to support.
It is like spreading little particles of bread in the water before starting to fish, to attract fishes in the area.

As Nono wrote: "I bought the girls in a particular hair saloon a meal (with drinks) each for the day (cost me 180k rupiah), they remembered me. There are 6 to 7 of them working there,i think. "
In that way, he secured the admiration and good feeling of a bunch of girls, No immediate return of investment, but gaining a favourable position for the future. That is "farming".

U only shared 1st night. :rolleyes:

what abt 2nd nite, 3rd nite, 4th nite & 5th nite of Sept trip? ;)

[Dreamstarz]

295k for vip or can choose vvip 385k
vip 1.5 hour
vvip 2 hour

for the girl just give him 400k for the full service package.
they will ask you if you want to take the full package or just the hand job.
full package +400k handjob already included in the package.

Just finished my session at New Home Spa @ Hotel Golden Gate. The price stated by bro above is aga aga correct.

BUT AHHHH!!! Read the story below to find out.

At the counter, i was quoted 285k for vip room 90min. Selected my girl via i-pad photo. The recep rcmded #17 (https://sbfsg.site/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=17) (syt 23 years old). The rest of the line up look like all bui bu, so i took #17 (https://sbfsg.site/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=17) .

Waited 15min in room (its a normal hotel room with bed/toilet instead of a massage room) before my ML came. Open door, sia lahh syt 人间胸器 with 2 dua liap nehs bulging out her low cut dress. Immediately wanted to thank the recep for the good intro.

Aint slim, but not fat also. The increase in her chest size > increase in her waist size. So normal people will find her busty instead of fat.

Session started. She took off her jacket and was wearing just her low cut gown during the session. Everytime she moves, i was just watching via the mirror on the side to watch those glorious twin peaks bounce.

For the massage, it was surprisingly good for a happy massage. She got effort to really properly press instead of the typical piano.

After flipping over, she asked whether want hj or FS. I chose HJ and she allowed top free roam / take off clothes. Only boundary is no touching of below. Squeezed and sucked those natural melons like a hungry baby.

After releasing, there was still 20min left. She didnt chase me away. I think they really need to give the full 90min. So we just hugged and i teh neh neh till times up.

Before leaving room, tipped her 100k before being informed to make payment at counter.

Everything sounds pleasant up till here right? I was planning to RTM again tmr at this point. BUT ahhhhhhhhh.

At the counter, passed recep 300k. Recep looked at me and signalled via calculator that it is 485k (285k for room + 200k tip for girl).

Wth? There was no mention abt this mandatory 200k tip at any point of time. Dk whether they scamming me becoz im tourist or that is always the case. But they inisisted on the 200k tip.

I told recep that i alr tipped the girl 100k in the room. Recep went to confirm w my girl before they reduced the price from 485k to 385k.

So end up, net expense for the session is 485k. The girl was definitely worth 485k. If they ASKED me if i okay with tipping 200k, i wld gladly do that. But it really made the entire session sour by mandatory adding in this 200k. I felt scammed.

So if i were to choose FS instead of HJ, does that mean is 285k (room) + 400k (top up for FS) + 200k (tip for girl)? Thats almost 900k for 1 shot.

The above is just my contribution bah. Hope bros here make your own informed decisions. Please up my points if you liked it!

last time l go the cashier upsell me to use vvip to have to pay 385 instead of 285k because have bathup never use it. last time l go the girl will ask if you want full or usual. l ask for full the qoute 400k for fj + 100k for b2b massage.
so pay the girl 400k and at the cashier 285k all done.

you are using taxi or private hire ? because some time the driver will ask the spa to give them tip because the delivery you to their place for massage.

The Visa on Arrival has been reinstated for my country and many other countries. It costs 500k IDR.
Years ago, it was expressed in USD. I was bringing those 30 (?) USD on purpose to pay the VOA quickly without hassle.

Now, am I supposed to bring 500k cash with me? :confused:
Therefore, I must change some cash to IDR at HF in Singapore? Or I can pay in SGD or USD? How much in those currencies?

Anybody knows? Thank you so much for your advice!

[lincoln3010]

Pay in rupiah would be better
Change at hbf
Anyways its only 500k only

[yuanswang]

For my experience, it is hard to get Grab or GoCar at Harbour Bay. Maybe the fare is too low, so drivers not interested to accept bookings. Anyway taxi fare from Harbour Bay to Planet Holiday or Harmoni Suites is just RP50,000. Whereas it is much easier to get the Private Hire car at the mall opposite Batam Centre. Taxi fare from Batam Centre to Nagoya cost RP150,000 compare to under RP40,000 on either GoCar or Grab Car, saving much significant. There are also more ferry service at Batam Centre, however journey take longer . Ferry trip takes extra 10 minutes and road journey to Nagoya from Batam Centre also takes extra 20 minutes.

Cos the drivers at harbourbay Will fight with them. In my last visit a crazy driver come to argue with me said you can't pick gojeck here you cancel it I will drop you where ever you want go. Then I go out in halfway to pick gojeck. I heard batam center also need to go out pick gojeck. BCS of this fucking drivers. They asking rentel also not fair, fucking high.

Nice idea, I will follow on my next visit. I think private taxi business deep affect by cheap gojek make them very angry, They behave rude also le. That guy stand beside and force me to cancel ride and said i will not allowed you to get in bike. I just said no and walk away on exit road and update my new waiting place by gojeck chat. Nice driver come to the new place. I tip him extra few K rp that still very cheaper then the local riders. My girl say now maxim app is more cheaper then gojek. next time will try that

Grabs my go-to way of travelling in Batam.

Do note that please do not try booking grab from the ferry terminals or malls.

They are mostly conquered by the cabbies there. You may be in for a rude awakening.

It'll be better to take grab from a short walk distance away from those places or maybe even hotel lobbies.

Most trips are $2-4 only. Super cheap :)

If feeling adventurous, maybe try tompang gojek bike for $1+ lol

The Grab app you use in SG is the same in all the country that it supported.

Just use back the same app, it will auto convert to the respective country/currency.

Hi All Sifu,
anyone know Batam have proper B2B massage joint like Bangkok one?

or like previous Katrika/Berlian in Jakarta?

Confuse on Massage shiatsu...anyone know what is this meaning?

Some personal experience, tried the SPA at Batam city hotel last month, pick one girl from TV in the waiting room, forgot name and number but experience is bad, can't touch here and there, got a bathtub(Please avoid this one in future), i soak in the bathtub by myself, the girl didn't shower me also, I thought she will shower together with me lol. And the rates is like almost 500K.

Been to phoenix massage before, that one is a better experience, pop 2 times there and girls are more friendly.

Will back to batam next week so hoping to get some recommendation on B2B, thanks.

[Black Page]

If feeling adventurous, maybe try tompang gojek bike for $1+ lol
I do not feel adventurous, but I exclusively take ojek from street whenever I need or I am not in the mood to walk. It costs (costed? until 2020) some 10k-15k. Ojek are everywhere, promptly available at any time.
I never take a taxi, unless I have luggage or I am with a girl (I took 2 ojek for me and the girl from pub many times, escaping from the robbery of taxi drivers who stand by in front of pubs or discos at night).

Guess most of us are asean citizens and we don’t need to pay for voa so won’t be able to verify for you. They should be ok to accept US or Euro dollars I guess but rates will be lower. To play safe , just change abit at HF to rupiahs and save you the uncertainty.

Forget to add further info. Transport fees has increased significantly after the government has cut the subsidies on petrol.

[nitecrawllerr]

Nice driver come to the new place. I tip him extra few K rp that still very cheaper then the local riders. My girl say now maxim app is more cheaper then gojek. next time will try that

After ppt clearance i would turned left. Some supirs may want sm business but i would turn down politely and walked away. That day, driver outside Zest hotel quoted me 60k to Nagoya mall.:)I told him 30k. He shake head. So i just walked slowly to have my lunch at Morning Bakery and booked grab tat cost me 27k.:)

Also is there any reliable agents out there or not really ? Thanks.

This is also my understanding. I will do as you too suggest.
I would have not changed to IDR at HF only if a reliable SB member would have told me "do not worry, they take 500k or 35 USD", but as you note most people on SB do not care about the VOA.
Thank you!

[NoTaugeh]

Visited Delta Spa couple of weeks ago. Its located a road cross away from rear entrance of Nagoya Hill Mall. After going thru the reception and GRO, i agreed with the package offered. I m guided to a room upstair with a bathtub and a therapist name Intan84, about early 30s waiting to service me. Started with a mud painted all over my body and wrapped warmth while my head been massage. After about 20mins i am showered again like a baby and followed by shiatsu massage and subsequently massage with a lavendar oil that they been promoting since i entered. This part intan84 reached and played with my cock and balls. She finger circling my asshole with the oil while stroking my cock and massaging my balls gently and that gave a outerworld sensation. Feeling worried she will penetrate my asshole, i held her hand and said pls dont break my only hole thats still virgin and she just laughed and said "jangan bimbang bang" and continued laughing hahahahaha.Sensing my load is nearing i asked her to be topless and she agreed without asking any extra until my load came. She massaged me again for about 10mins and showered me before i left the place happily.
I paid about 1 juta for the service and the overall experience is satisfying. I see that its abit steep on the cost but i just want my maiden experience to be great as i arrived late at 9pm and i believed i am the last customer. I would like to try other spas in near future. Per my convo with the gojek/grab driver, they are allowed to pick up passengers around the waterfall area at the entrance of Nagoya Mall onwards. Happy ceweking guys!
My next bakso meal will be TBK in nov. I just check its near $100 for the return ferry whereby from JB is much more lesser. Sorry off topic towards the end🙏

Normally is getting a room first would be better whether you intend to have a companion or not

Because the mami or papi will need to take note of your place of stay
For the girls safety

Hello. Anyone has experience with the PeduliLindungi App?
I have installed it, followed instructions Vaccine and Immunization / COVID-19 Vaccination / Vaccine Non-Indonesia, uploaded the certificates (with QR), but after many days the vaccination status checking is still YELLOW Waiting for Approval.
Is it a problem? Is the app with green approval a requirement?
Or I just bring my certificates on paper?
Anyone has done this?
Thanks!

Is an issue w the app. Mine couldnt work as well when i went last week. You can either:
1. Pretend to scan the QR code at the batam terminal and pray that the person dont check you (i did that and the guy didnt bother verifying at all)
2. Bring the hardcopy paper and show the person if he checks

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hardcopy is the best
Just show at immigration then can even cut the queue..as that happens for me

I fully agree that a printed copy is the best! No doubt I will travel with all essential documents and authorizations duly printed.

My concern is different: I understand that it is required (mandatory) having the PeduliLindungi app installed and with my profile registered with a QR code ready to show, but having the green light on the PeduliLindungi app?
I think it is not mandatory, as vaccination certificates on paper should be enough. However, if I get the app to work, better. ;)

I wonder if anyone went with their wives to Batam and sneak into those happy ending massage shops for an hour or two undetected.

Before covid starts, i often bring such Husbands/BFs to Batam (together with their wives/GFs), for a relaxation getaway. ;)

We all go to "clean" MPs & SPAs together.

The wives get their "beauty massage" + facial + pedicure + hair-do etc etc there while their husbands/bfs inside the same premises gets their happy endings. End of the trip, both husbands & wives were happy. :D

Now, i am still trying to locate back such places, which is why i said previously, i need to reboot myself in Batam in my next few trips. Part of my learning process.

No problem at all. My vaccination status in their apps is still at "waiting for approval" since i uploaded nearly 2-3 months ago.

Just bring along a copy of your photocopied vaccination cert on hand to show them when needed to if they asked (90% chance they won't even look at it).

They mainly check on your PeduliLindungi App to make sure you have scanned in. In fact , it is better to show them just before you walk by the VOA counter (there are tables set up there with people standing by to check if you have scanned the QR, & you need to just show them aka "flash it to them").

You will need to have mobile data in your phone to scan the QR code when inside the ferry (for Harbour Bay Ferry terminal). For the benefits of those who don't.

Your question is the reason why i made this post above.

Feel free to test-scan it (for Harbour Bay ferry terminal).

I faced a "problem" & expect other lesser experienced bros who may face it too.

For Batam Center ferry terminal traveler, please refer to bro btmchiong's post below :
