2) Batam is 40 minutes away from harbour front and hatyai is 12 hours from golden mile complex.

3) Ferry to batam cost sing $48 return but bus to and from hatyai cost sing $90-100

4) Cheaper massage starting from 50k=$5.40 (eg chinatown, tropical asia, etc) compare to hatyai pink lady massage 2300 baht = $96.

5) For those on a short vacation can still enjoy batam due to short travel time. On the other hand Hatyai will waste 2 night sleeping in the aircon coach.
I am truly intrigued by this piece of information. Appears that Batam is still the easiest and cheapest travelling place for sillyporean compare to any other part of Asia.

Thank you for sharing.

Agreed with you,Batam really big place (the place do look familiar to me) and Nagoya only considered a very small fraction of the whole Batam island.I think Batam is even bigger than Sillypore in island size. If we ever link up again,can go locate that place together.

And thank you for your offer to help me keep a look out whenever you are there.

2) Body scrub (lulur) - Arms, legs and body are scrubbed using treatment cream and then left to dry. After that the cewek will use a wet towel to gently wipe off the cream and the dirt on the body. Body will feel comfortable and dirt free after the service.

3) Mandi susu (SPA) - Also known as milk bath which will make your skin soft and pure to the touch. The cewek will leave you soaking in a cloudy white bath tub for 15-20 minutes.

4) Masker (face & body) - The cewek will do a face and body mask for you. The mask is basically used to cleanse and detoxify the skin.

5) Massage wise can have the option of :

a) Traditional Javanese massage (using oil)

b) Thai massage (not using oil)

c) Kombinasi or combination of the above two

d) Refleksi

The above services will definitely pamper you shiok shiok.

You will likely to feel better, look better and sleep better.
Sorry,bro...one small question...is the above-said service being provided in Batam or Hatyai?

Batam had given me a new lease in life, started work and slowly earn enough to strike out again.

love the locals, love this place. When you have been given a new lease, you learn to appreciate what you have and what you have been given.

As for WL, n lovers, had many. Non could cover the pain, but it makes you feel better over time.
Well said there. I'm not well verse with words when it comes to matters of the heart,so shall cut those crap out. From your posting,I believe you have reach beyond an un-tempt-able age of physically & mentally understanding where you stand, what needs to be done and what not to,and taking this opportunity i'd like to drop a word of encouragement for what you have been doing....be it in this thread or in real life.

Keep up your good work!

Cheers!
