hey guys I have been to Batam a few times but only once to 'play'.

I need a few tips:

1. Best KTV/Disco taking into consideration the following: I have looked at, as in gone on a tour of Planet Holiday and I think it is a total shithole. I have been to Pacific Palace was it? (the one that is in the shape of a ship) and i think that is not too bad, but I am looking for better, is there any better? I am not talking about the chicks but more so the venue... more lux...? more atas? hahahah anything out there?

2.massage/play: We went to Delta Spa the last time, I have not much issue with not being able to choose or not full service just HJ, the place was decent and clean, but the massage was horrible. So I am looking for someone very familiar with the venues and can recommend a place that is as nice as Delta venue wise but with better girls or better massage.

3. Food, I did not get to try much as we only stayed one night this time we are going for 2 nights. I hear Rezeki at Barelang is good? I went to something else in that area last time because rezeki was closed was so so....I would not return to that place... I found Ika bakar cianjur to be good...

4. Ferry I have figured out Horizon has a better ferry it seems, 'business' class wit better seats.. anyone tried it before?

thanks guys !!

Batam definitely not a place for 2nd hand stuffs.

I think bring girl from anywhere go shopping sure to be high price.

I got a question here for seniors, hope someone can provide info. I was in BTM sometime back. this question is about roadside taxis. I went from harbour bay to Nagoya supermalls area. When i got up. i was told 40k to go there. then when entering.

the taxi driver say add 10k more cos of entering the gated car park to drop me off at the shopping mall. Is this for real? How to avoid such taxi drivers from chopping Singaporeans up?

My upcoming trip,likely to be on 24th Mar 2015,Tue for a 3D2N to Batam.

Not intentionally asking for people to join me,i am mainly using this thread to keep tab on my to-do-list when i reach Batam.I still need to come to SBF when i am in Batam to look at my own guides and read some posts to cross reference the info. And as internet speed is slower there,i will not have time to search and flip this thread,hence this post is created.

Any bro/s who are in Batam during those time ,do feel free to link up with me for a smoke or drink if timing is right (just to share share travelling experience) or if you wish to tag along with me,kindly PM me a short introduction of yourself w/o giving me your personal information like your HP no.,PP no, etc (yr intro will be kept strictly confidential). I will mainly take newbie/s who wish to know/learn about Batam and those who likely share the same frequency with me to join me becos there are only limited seats available. My main objective is to learn together.

I will still use back my little outdated Travel Conditions written during Dec 2014 for those who wish to tag with me. Please kindly read it before you PM me.

The below Batam List for my reference :

http://sbf.directory/showpos...ostcount=29154

Gentle note (personal opinion): Batam is a place where one can go alone as long as time is available,which i find it very fun.To have someone sharing same frequency during travelling may doubles the fun,but to go along with strangers,only heaven decides. And going with someone who dont share the same frequency will likely kill most of the fun. Just a thought.

Places to visit in my coming trip are also likely to be :

1. Keyza - I have never tried B2B in Batam before,well...actually i did in Pepy massage,but then not all girls in Pepy does b2b tho. I need to make comparison on the B2B in different MP. (excuse #1 to try this place...lol)

2. Ocean - The burger massage name already sounds so tempting,hehehe...where 2 girls will b2b for me. But i am going for Keyza as number 1 choice,and if all else fail,will head to Ocean as Ocean more expensive ma and i admit i am stingy...lol.

3. Pas Massage - 2 trips ago,i want to try this banned massage place but the CNY trip symptoms stops me. I am still a bit sceptical to try a banned place tho...lol.

4. Indo Rasa - Yes,i have always wanted to try this place (a massage shop) since its near to my favourite hotel,Formosa. Most likely will try this place on my 2nd or 3rd day. Reason to try was to comb the Formosa Hotel area. Previously i have had too much of King,Bridge,Relax and Linda's...time for something i havent tried.

5. 28 Massage - Need to recce this place out to see if it is still a booking joint,hehehe...

6. My Mart at Carnaval Mall (near Batam center) - I cant possibly walk there. Will need to recce this place at least once to see what this place has to offer. Dont wish to always rely on Lucky Plaza or Nagoya Hill Mall for electronic items.

7. Blue Moon - I hear its a booking joint,so i need to at least go there take a look. (i already have its namecard)

8. Bunga Massage - Heard its another booking joint next to A3 massage. Also need to go look see look see.

Total 8 new places to cover in my coming trip/s,if there are bros tagging along with me,i may likely be able to cover only minimum as I need to bring them tour other basic places 1st but if i am solo-ing i can then cover more “new” places stated above. I visit these places w/o rushing,meaning i will dwell in it for a while in order to find out more so as to share in this thread when i am back.

Counting down,7 more days to my upcoming 13th Batam trip.

Wish me luck!

p

To be honest, Batam centre is a place I wont want to go to shop for electronics( Carnaval mall). That place sells only, but wont want to buy in 2nd hand computers. Also, I cannot vouch for the quality.

Indo rasa? Can try.. but prices are higher, due to more foreigners cheonging there.

Kezya? Yes, ask for package.


Massage 28? PAS? Banned places.. so I don't go to see. Plenty of good massage everywhere.

thanks guys !!

You can try out Octopus at pacific, or newton( not so new already), Trinity Spa, not too bad, but gals you have to depend on luck. Altalanta... for massage with SPA.


Rezeki is in not at Barelang. . It is at Nongsa area, after the airport. Barelang has a few seafood joints too, but price wise and food quality, I recommend rezeki....


Other than that, most of the good food( Chinese) are in Nagoya, jodoh, peniun area..

Bro Nono had a photo of Bai Long noodles( only morning) in Peniun , and if you can, try ACAI food near to A1( along the canal), or Hai Ow, the famous zhi car.. open all days from 545 pm except on Thursdays.
