My first sentence to ojek/taxi will be (Amount i wish to pay) usually fixed sum while holding on my hand which i will normally pass it onto them before the ride as sometimes they will need that money to top up gas first) + (name of the place that i wanna go) There are usually 3 typical types of replies: 1) Driver without saying a word, giving you a "come on" hand sign. 2) Driver trying to bargain for extra 5-20k more with excuses like they cari makan (finding money for food) or have children at home waiting to be feed. In this case i might or might not be firm on my price will depends on the driver attitude. Most i will top up 5k or walk away/towards another driver in the area. In this scenario, most of them will chase after me and accept my offer. 3) Driver replying with a firm carrot chopping price which i will walk away straight without even trying to bargain for lower. In this scenario, if they chase after me i will tell them my fixed price with a take it or leave it look. Please note that in Batam there are no lacking of taxi/ojek anywhere, even in those kampung area at Tiban/Sekupang !!!!!!!!!! By the way, my regular price for ojek as follow: Sekupang-Nagoya 40k Batam Center to Nagoya 25k Harbour Bay to Nagoya 10-15k (wearing harbour bay shirt ojek usually take my 15k offer to Peniun) Jodoh-Nagoya (Nagoya Hill Mall Area) 10k Nagoya-Peniun (BCS Mall) 10k Batam Center to Peniun 20k Batam Center to Sekupang 35k Nagoya-Nagoya 10k (this price i am very very firm) Nagoya/Harbour Bay/Jodoh/Peniun- Utama 15k Some tips for getting above rate: 1) look for older generation ojek 2) look for ojek that are alone and not in a group, this is because when they are in groups, they take turns for passenger and that might take up an hour or so before it is their turn. When it is their turn, it is understandable that they want to charge more.. I usually also add 1k for ojek that goes through the gantry for parking, 2k for taxi. This usually makes them happier. However, they are some who will ask you for it automatically as well. Disclaimer: The above rates are for reference and sharing only. I dont underpay the ojek/taxi nor i had any argument with them before.. 1 way to reject the ojek/driver offer without being offending them, Ah Bang tak mau ma, saya cari lagi lo.. (with a smile, i add the ma and lo to make the conversation less formal but i not sure if it is the correct way to say it.) My Translation :D = Brother you don't want what, i find others lo However, my sentence i know sure wrong but so far they understand and had no issue with it :p |

Please understand that I'm not trying to create any enemy here. But, as there are newbies reading this forum, we need to be responsible in whatever advices that we dished out. In any situation, I would rather the newbie err by paying an additional 10k or 20k, then to get into any trouble in a foreign land. After all, what's 10k-20k when we easily spend S$200 - S$300 per 2d1n trip. For someone who had been to Batam for about 20 trips, newbies reading your posts might really go and practice what you wrote. So, are you gonna bail them out if they get into any trouble? What if they read that you have been very successful in hunting fl in disco, try it themselves and get into problem with cewek carrying drug? Don't say it won't happen. Perhaps you are lucky. We Chinese have a saying.. 开开心心出门,平平安安回家 (go out happily, come home safely). I think this should be in our mind when we make any recommendations.. |

Note: the day you start all your bule prowess (Batam FRs) which Pak highly doubt is where you are in Pak's ignore list since a long time ago :rolleyes: FYI the point of bargaining is to ensure that we are not "taken for a ride" for our hard earned money. It's not a big deal for any Mas (bros) here to pay another 10-20k extra but these supirs (taxi drivers) are people you can NEVER trust at all. Last but not least blankpage do refrain from replying Pak with your denial cos remember you are in Pak's ignore list :rolleyes: |

Re: Batam Info Thread
Fucking hell. All newbies remember what i say when go batam . You go batam sure go fucking. So when reach ferry terminal. Before boarding a taxi, just tell the driver saya cari cewek. Taxi free, ok?.Driver sure say OK.
Go hotel check in first. Then go find cewek and come back hotel with cewek. Take name card from driver and say next time come with friend to batam. Will find you, bye. No need to scare. Scare don,t come batam. At home pcc better. So easy still must need what fucking advise from old bird here. Old bird, pui , old my bird haha.:cool::cool::cool: |

Remember the record book we talk about the other day? OKT in Batam has a minimum sum to book a girl off from their joints.They are workers,not bosses. One small example will be,girl A can be book at 800k with minimum sum at 600k. Okt saw a carrot head walk in,he immediately quoted the carrot guy 1.2 juta. Carrot guy pay 1.2 juta,but in that record book,OKT only wrote 800k. :D Not every joints play the same game tho,thats why i spend time dwelling in every joints for a while (an hour or 2 per joint) during the beginning of my Batam trips to observe and help myself better understand "how things work",hehehe....every joints has a different work culture hence a different "button" to hit to get them offer "special" recommendation. This is very interesting to me. My objective,i wish to have the BEST for least. :p Quote:
I apologize if i sound a little childish here. i treat my Batam trips like an RPG game nowaday. Quote:
Among Mon to Thu,monday appears to be not as good as the other days to hit Batam for me. Monday blues for the girls,i guess. Becos they worked hard from fri to sun. Monday MC (sick) or rest and/or come out later,hehehe...(my guess) This is just personal theory. Quote:
Hehehe..i only had one dick i cannot bonk so many girls in a short frame of time,so my comparison of 5 on 5 are base on other group trip's friends/bros who tried and feedback-ed to me. Both joints are known to be good (better than Bunga and Happy 8 but comparable with New Berry),but i have more satisfied newbies/friends/bros in Goldbird than in Permata. ;) I think my main reward i got from bringing newbies and friends to Batam is their direct FRs from each of the respective joints/MPs. (there are other sources too) Quote:
Different season,different part of the month,there will be different pricing,hehehe... wait,i forgot one more other thing,different people asking for the price is also another factor. A few friends on my 18th Batam trip who goes to money changer without me got quoted a lousier price of 9700/SGD. i forgot how much i was quoted but definitely a better price. I was as shock as my friends to know that too. So it does pays to be humble,well-mannered and not be demanding. One of the MOST IMPORTANT thing i learned in Batam is,Money can practically buys me everything...but i may not get the BEST of what i buy with money if i do not understand Batam well enough...hence there is no such thing as a best place ,a best joint or a best girl,only those of which that suits oneself. Just my thoughts... (i know,i know...i think too much...lol) |

By saying so you did not mention that you are going to look for another ojek if he charge you too expensive so he will not get offended in this way. :) Then he will realise that you seems to know the market rate for the journey and eventually will most likely to accept your offer...:p Just my opinon, may not be 100% effective....:D |

Till date, I was still figuring out how they grade their cewek in terms of pricing? Refer to my post 27020 whether do they differentia or distinguish the quality of the cewek this way? https://www.sammyboyforum.com/showth...cess&page=1802 Quote:
