Re: Batam Info Thread
 

Just an article I found online.

With the recent closure of infamous Red light district "Dolly" in Surabaya, an influx of sex workers into Batam is expected:

Re: Batam vs. Jakarta
 

1) Jakarta got better looking ones and more SYT. Here more older stock.
2) Octopus, Delta, Altalanta, Newton ( all these are higher ends which have better ones, but more expensive than others)
3) Batam is more for uncles from Singapore. More relaxing and laid back, yes, easier to travel from place to place unlike Jakarta, so machid.
4), Definitely cheaper. Food wise, so much cheaper than Jakarta, especially if you go to kelong makan.


Hope this helps

Oh WOW!!

Never having been to Batam, I had been avidly reading this thread with a view towards possibly making this my next regular mongering destination - especially since the posters on here like nono and yourself are so helpful and very liberal with your information/assistance to newbies. Kudos to the posters here!!

But your statement that Batam is more suited for "uncles" from Singapore has given me quite a jolt and I guess a needed dose of reality. And BTW - me-thinks that "uncles" usually do not like to be addressed as "Uncle!" LOL

Thanks for this very good revelation/Regards

Re: Batam vs. Jakarta
 

Thanks Newyorker. If the travel were the same, which one would you prefer?

I dun mind older stock, as long as they are well stocked (.Y.) .....:)

Batam seems enticing to me, but due to my schedule, cannot goto both, must be one or the other. I like that Jakarta has high end bodies (Alexis, Malio, etc..) and easier for me to locate, but higher end prices it seems. However the laid-back attitude and cheap prices in Batam are appealing.

lol...i kind of regret having 1 shot at Linda's massage,otherwise i would have scored higher...next trip i plan to venture more of other massage places.


Thank you for your understanding,bro. I post on a few forums tho,basically just to seek answers for Batam stuffs. And to learn. You have a big heart.

2 or 3 trips ago,when i went to Relax massage opp formosa,i was given a HJ...the place was also deemd to be clean,but occasionally out of no where GQ will pop out. But this trip when i go Relax Massage,they tell sme their MP no special service. I guess these clean Massage places is really more of a hit and miss.

Reading from this thread some way back,someone also got offered a HJ from everyday massage which was deem clean. Again,luck plays its role here,hehehe...and may you have the best of luck in your coming trip.

Good luck,bro...and looks like we have different perspective of cheonging in Batam. You mentioned you don't speak Bahasa and are afraid to venture out and twice you are in the hotel alone,now you are in this dating game with an Uni girl in Batam. You will need a lot more luck than a normal cheongster (time & money too) and hopefully you will successfully fly high before you learn to walk.

I am guessing i am talking to a Batam season cheongster now,kindly forget my advices to you in your previous postings,you probably dont need them at all. And i am sorry for being a cow not knowing you are a tiger.

Lastly,may you have a happy & Bonkperous time with your new found Uni girl. Be sure to stay safe.

Hi,bro...i read the news before in the below post regarding the closure of Dolly in Surabaya :

http://sammyboyforum.com/showpost.ph...ostcount=26019

Thank you for sharing it again. (base on the news looks like after Ramadan going to have a lot of fun time in Batam)

If your family is 4 person,simply flag a cab,check their price,bargain it down and go. Cheaper and more efficient. Most taxi drivers can speak broken English,plan you own itinerary and if possible print it out and instruct your taxi driver where you want to go. I did the same using this method to visit some places of interest like Tua Pek Kong and Guan Yin Temple.

If you are in Batam Centre,then you may after all not even need a taxi for shopping.

Good luck and have an enjoyable quality get-together time with your family.

Back from a 3d2n trip from JKT, overall only about 30% more expensive in JKT depending on how you play it.

For ST wise in JKT, at Classic/KingCross/Fashion you can have an ST for 325k to maximum 800k for a SYT. In batam it will be a SOP massage package price usually 100 to 150k, FJ 300-600k.

For KTV in Batam, Higher end KTV like M1 & BC, per bottle chivas is 1 Juta ++.
JKT about 2 Juta ++. However, went to a "shakehead" KTV near lokasari in JKT, per tower of bintang only 200k.

Overall if you are easy going and can eat any vegetable, Batam welcome you.

If only want Chio/SYT, end of the day the expenses in batam can be as high as in JKT.

Anyway, budget are in your hand, it is really up to how/where/what you want to spend it. Everywhere will have Pros & Cons.

Cheers :D

This is coming from my Indonesian Chinese friends..... many of them are afraid of Prabowo being elected as the next President of INA. They still remember the May 1998 riots in Jakarta targeting the Chinese community which they lay the blame on Prabowo. He is a confirmed racist and there will be racial riots again if he is elected to power. :mad:

Wow.. I still remember that time I'm working in Abn Amro Bank and photos of these riots are being forwarded like nobody's business, especially those IndoChinese girls being raped photos. Really scary. Can understand why they are so worried now.

Re: Batam vs. Jakarta
 

If a very small percentage of a particular race control the economy and very huge majority of another particular race barely earned US$1 a day, what do u expect when theres a riot? Thats why former PM of Msia, Dr Mahathir, make sure the bumis are not very far behind the Chinese interm of jobs or wealth. Malays also own properties. So if theres riot, both will suffer. Unlike Indon.

Btw Suharto, SBY and Prabowo. Tiga tiga sama.

Re: Batam Info Thread
 

Whilst our Spore side really scan for prohibited items like firearms, drugs etc. to safeguard our country. Our Indon counterpart scan for sex pills to fatten the individual pockets. I had a bad experience at Balai. That fucker custorm guy spotted a very small bottle (containing liquid gambir sarawak). Detained me. Demanded S$10 coffee money to settle the case. CCB!:mad:

So be careful. Even if u bring ur own medicine and if they want coffee money from u, they can come out with all kind of reasons. Remember, this the fasting month. They need money badly for the festive season:rolleyes:

I wouldnt try the above if i am going to Balai or batam. But thats just me.

I vote Jokowi, as well as the people in Jakarta too !

According to them, he's a good man :p

Re: Batam Info Thread
 

Believe me, I passed through the border of Batam Harbour Bay 16 times already (as duly reported here), many more times the Singapore or Malaysia borders, not to mention countless other countries of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc worlds.
I always travel with my big plastic bag of pills and various medical products in my luggage. It's not just one blister of Sildenafil: it's a plastic bag with not less than 20 various boxes.
It's my normal SOP: when I travel overseas I bring with me a set of drugs such as antiobiotics, pain killer, antiseptic, antiflue, antiacid, etc., even vitamins to cope with basic medical needs in case I fall sick.
Strange country: they stopped you with your small bottle, while thousands of extasy pills are routinely imported and sold every night in discos? :confused:

Re: Batam vs. Jakarta
 

It's time the reading stops and take your first step to Batam

"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for your manhood " :D

Do so after The Holy Month
