If i dont remember wrong (i got poor memories),the massage shop should be called Natural Spa (not in the cheong list) or something like that. Heard it is as good as Secret Spa or Majestic Spa which is also not in the cheong list and their price range are pretty close. It is gonna cost about between S$80-S$150 for a 90mins therapy treatment,hehehe...extra service? Not too sure about that. But i believe no bros will have the time to travel to Natural Spa in Planet Holiday Hotel just to test water if they are staying other hotels. But if you happen to stay there and plan to test out,do share with other bros here in this thread after you come back. Good or bad experience,we can all learn together.

Most sincere thanks to you.

Sorry,bro...i dont usually visit nightspot when in Batam so i am not very sure how to reply you. But a kind bro already shared his view replying to your post on Planet Disco below :

http://sbf.directory/showthr...3#post12950433

Personal opinion here,i do not recommend anyone who considered themselves new or 1st timer to Batam scene to pick up girls/FL from nightspot,eg Disco,Clubs,Pubs,wechat etc. Safety 1st.

Good luck and hope enjoy your stay in Batam.

Cheers!

Thank you for appreciating the tipping table,they are my personal method of tipping the overnight girls i book while i am in Batam. No one should feel obliged to follow it or out of place if they dont. We go to Sillypore KTV Night Club today and tip a S$50 to S$100 anytime without blinking our eyes,what is 100k to 150k (S$11 to S$17) tipping when we are in Batam? The whole idea of my tipping table being used as a guide is to help 1st timer or bros who are new to understand the basics.

I dont think i have the capability to stop any bros from tipping 1 million rupiah and above,hehehe...

Like you mention earlier,everyone will have a 1st time (Virgin) in any cheong scene in any part of this earth.How much to tip are one of the MOST common Frequently Asked Question. And the audience of my Guide/s are very obviously Newbies/1st Time Batam visitors,hehehe...

I believe everyone once in while surely will do stupid things,especially when i am still new to a place or environment.But when i know it is a stupid thing,i try to recognise it and will try my best not to repeat it.The worst that could ever happen is when i do stupid things,no one tells me or correct me or that my pride refuse to accept being corrected and i just keep repeating that stupid part of me for the rest of my life.

Most of these spas are high class places, where both woman and men massage. Unless you ask them to come to room massage, unlikely to get any specials.

Also, prices in Hotel Spa/Massage are generally higher than outside massage. Therefore it is advisable to get it outside unless u want in room services.

Massge joints can also send their massage ladies to your hotel room as well. With some extra charges. for transport.

Uncle will chose the shps with ugliest girl inside to change money bcs ugly girl shp don't wan lose business to pretty girl shp. So uncle first will ask pretty girl shp first & talk talk there,then go ugly girl shp,the price will be better.

bless u again

Tis one is human nature,sure wen u give her 1 inch she surely ask u for 3 inch. Better exorcise sm self control during tipping for ownself gd better then no self control too.

Its been a year+ already...time really flies...

Tis one no happen only in indonesia,it happen in many country like china,philipine,vietnam. To me,tis is purely man stupid & ego something wrong. No girls fault,but the man fault.

Wen i read tis,i really laugh out loud. This 2 news realli make sinkapore men famous liao. But recently also got many sinkapore single women kena the love scam & i hear the money involve quite a lot.

So not jus sinkapore men kena only,sinkapore women also not so clever.

- basic food for 1 pax is around 35k with drinks
- if you smoke/drink,this part no need for me to say more,hehehe...
- massage per hour is between 50k to 120k depending on places (exclude special)
- special service in massage price is hj-100k fj-200k,SYT add 50k or if there is any VAS like bbbj,full roaming,BM etc..just add another 50k if you feel ok
- overnight girl booking joint no need say much also cos its all stated here.
- if you only want to tour Batam :

Simply mix and match your preferred choices,bro....oh yes,i hope you are not thinking i am trying to sell Batam to you. No,i am definitely not. I am just trying to tempt you out of your retirement,hehehe...

Yea,history has shown us,newbies being newbie sure will make small mistakes for the 1st few times when comes to cheonging. Whats more important is recognizing these mistake/s and not making them again.

Wah! Reading this part really make me drool leh. Free sampling of girls before the buying. Today's world,where got such a thing? The most let you see but surely cannot even touch. Wait,i think there is...only in supermarket (non-sex related)...lol. I believe competition must have been stiff for the girls and OKT during those time.

Today the stiff competition (in Batam) is more towards foreign Men versus foreign Men with each of them trying to out-do one another to see WHO is the Richest of them all.

Hmm...i see the supply of girls was much greater than the demand during your time hence there is such heavy competition. In Batam today,i believe most joints just cater for a little supply over the demand hence during certain time of the day,the joint wont have many girls left to choose. It is only during weekends and public holiday where i see the demand will nearly hit beyond the supply.

And if there are chance of a leftovers,the leftover are those well...really "leftovers". Take it or have none at all,hehehe...

The number of working girls definitely has drop tremendously when i make a comparison between your time and today. I will say about 65% drop in numbers?

About inflation,I remember one of my mum's friend who runs a few factories in Jakarta once told me,increasing his factory worker's salary is like giving them a pay-cut. He increase their salary today base on S$ from S$1 to S$1.05,2mrow their IDR currency drops to an exchange rate of S$0.95. And it become a salary drop for the indo workers even tho they are still very happy with their salary increase. Over time,they realise their daily necessities also become more expensive and when some becomes more educated and understand how these inflation works,they start revolting (protesting).

Hehehe...i used to stay in Jakarta when i was a kid about 30+ years ago when my parent works there. Those years when 2 juta or 3 juta can buy a 2 storey house and we have to smuggle Chinese Newspaper from Sillypore thru Indo,their Jakarta Airport has no air-conditioner back then,watching HK Chinese Drama require the use of head-phone,also can see people (men and women) naked bathing between the very big drains that divide the the 2 way roads right at the heart of the city.

Hehehe...i am allergic to sea food,so i guess sea food wasnt my priority. I am sure a lot sea restaurants serves good and cheap sea food at the outskirt of Batam's NED. But i prefer their ayam (chicken)...erm...ayam as in those ayam that are edible kind. I actually dont have much of a variety to choose from if i minus seafood,beef and vegetable from my diet,hehehe...

I eat to live.

Thank you,thank you.

i was once a newbie,and am still one in many ways when it comes to Batam. So base on my character,i love picking up information online which is often incomplete,and fix these informations to form an ideal completed puzzle,hehehe...honestly,even the guides and summaries that are on my signature,they are not perfect yet and one day i will fine-tune them to my own definition of perfection.

And becos i consider myself a newbie,my state of mind remains that way,with that i can then better understand what newbies are looking for and their thereafter questions,which i answered it all w/o them even asking. Oh,i play RPG games too,i read RPG guides online...so you see my summaries and guides having those RPG images (maps,photos illustration etc),hehehe...

Batam island has become like a Real Life RPG to me,and one of the "thing" most RPG player feared most is the Game Moderator,hehehe...and in Batam, it is called the law enforcer aka Policeman. So if you notice be it in Batam or writing in this forum,i try my best to avoid breaking the law or get myself framed for breaking one,hehehe...likewise for my RPG games too...lol.

Apparently i have "Levelled-Up" in Batam over time...lol.

Yes,cheonging with like-minded frens is always the BEST! Especially those that shares the same cheonging frequency as you. I have happen to met a handful of such good bros in this thread,but most have chosen to remain anonymous and i need to respect that. Most has turned from newbies to regulars to Batam today,hehehe...

[Metalboy]

Juz came Back from Batam..1 day 1 night there,manage to Try KEYZHA massage, read nonos FR that there's Sensual Body Massage there...so since I'm an addict for massages,I went for a Try.
