The only destination comparable will be JB,better head there this mth before their GST increase next mth...likely to see many things increase price over time.
Yes,bro...going Batam definitely cheaper than going Sentosa. Well,in my army days,i have seen Thai WL (not legal) in Pulau Ubin...but then thats like more than 20 years ago,hehehe...not a bad idea to venture IF it still exist...lol.

Thank you for the reminder on the Malaysia gst increase next month,not a fan of Johor Bahru scene as travelling time and waiting time is a little longer,but maybe...well,who knows...hehehe...

I went for a short trip over the weekend, supposed to be there and back on Saturday itself, just meet some kaki for lunch. But last minute, decide to overnight. Didn't manage to find the lup sup massages / find any cewek for company, but found a relatively decent hotel that I'd like to share.

The above is an Imgur link of the hotel I stayed at. It's near Harbour Bay Ferry Terminal, I paid roughly $38 for the night. King sized bed, with free breakfast. The breakfast was crap, but the place was relatively decent. Quite safe area, and near De Patros cafe / the seafood area at the kelong place that other bros were talking about.
Glad you find the Batam info useful,bro.

I mainly stayed in Formosa. But i do have a bit of experience on Nine Days Hotel when i linked up with another bro quite some time ago. The ambience is not bad,clean and pretty new too,the set back is no lift,hehehe....surrounding area are all higher end eateries in indo terms,eg wey wey Sea food but its a very convenient stay there as moving around basically do not require taxi,eg going for movie,shopping,Spa Massage,disco,KTV etc. But booking girls from joints may need a taxi tho,unless you wish to go Discotheque or pubs to hunt.The new Titanium Club is also nearby. Octopus Spa and Ocean Spa are close by too.

I hear from bro Metalboy's previous post that when you take Horizon Ferry,they give you some discount voucher on ManZu massage which is located at the Harbour Bay Mega Mall. Basically,when you stay there,you spend less time and money on travelling but more on enjoyment.Again,it still boils down to what kind of enjoyment you are looking for in Batam as not everyone will want the same stuffs.

Pricing wise only few dollar difference,should be alright by most Sillyporean. As i see this edit massage,i was thinking if Kaha would be a better choice to book that room,but i think back again...i spend a few dollars take taxi to Kaha to book nine days hotel room,then come back to hotel just to save that almost same few dollars...plus minus,all goes to naught again....lol.

May you have a good and safe upcoming trip.
