Took ojek on an almost weekend from Harbour Bay to Kaha,and then to Formosa at 20k. Took another ojek from Formosa to Meximo pub and back at 20k.

Just sharing.

Practically all 1st tier massage places like the Spa Secret,Majestic Spa, GO massage etc etc commissioned taxi drivers to bring their customers there. Why no Spa Secret,Majestic Spa or Go Massage etc for me except Nagoya Spa and Massage is becos it is different and stands out from the rest of those other 1st tier spa. It is a potential place for me to "rest in peace",hehehe...

Enough said.

Thank you for your understanding. I guarantee as a newbie,you will 100% make mistakes along the way,but following my guide/s definitely wont lead you too wrong. Till today,i am still learning from other bros mistakes (and my own too),note them down so as to cross-reference it later whenever i am going to Batam.

Not asking you to make mistakes so i can learn tho,but to avoid making mistake made by me and others.

Cheers!

None. There was no good booking joints,only the most suitable girl in a booking joint for oneself. Every booking joint is run differently and w/o understanding how each joint (or their OKTs) deal with their customers/girls,every booking joint may end up as a lousy joint or the best joint.

Comparing the both places you mentioned and in my personal point of view,one is more expensive than the other. One has more zombie-like pretty girls,the other has more desperate-for-booking pretty girls. I happen to like both kind,hehehe...i'll flip a coin for my own case.

Nope. Taxi fare in Batam is never standardized. Base on the info of this thread,it can be any amount ranging from 25k (blue bird/silver cab) to 80k (carrot chop) from Harbour Bay to Nagoya (those advertise on the internet is even way higher).In one of my trip to Batam, I tell taxi driver in Formosa Hotel that i have no money left on my last day,the taxi driver drives me to Harbour Bay for free (but that’s for me only,I guess..lol). Up to end of Sept 2015,out of 20 times taxi rides in Batam,if i dont remember wrong ,i only pay once for a 50k taxi ride (unless i am traveling to Sekupang (KTM),Pulau Galang or Nongsa).

Hehehe...i guess as much. My fetish is watching 2 or more girls (in nude some times) in my hotel room bed "rubbing" each other. Everyone has a different fetish,hehehe...

Good advise. I learned something today and I thank you.

99% taxi drivers in Batam are unreliable. I would have add another 0.9% if i didnt met a taxi driver who drives me to Harbour Bay for free (free things usually cost more later).

Just personal opinion.
