I think almost every Batam hotel seems to have some chio receptionist (something i notice),and Da Vienna have had quite a few in my last trip there.

1 for working, so that okt can contact them
1 for personal, some have 2 personal one for internet. 1 for call n sms
1 for their indo bf or together with their sg bf..

I learned to have multiple phones in Batam too.

That way, I can stay 15 mins more in my room at Formosa on my last day (the last 15 minutes can be important) and leave, say, at 18:30 with the boarding pass in hand to catch the ferry of 19:15.

Alternatively,you can ask the Reception to help you make a call to Horizon Ferry to book a reservation to secure a place on the day you planned to go back. You secure a booking number so that you can straight away get your boarding pass ready for collection when you arrive at the Horizon counter.

Sorry to ask,what is kacang ijau? I did a search but the meaning of the word seems pretty odd,...sugarcane juice?

Whatever my illustration,i try to make my point as simple as possible to help the one who reads it understand.

Girl's 1st quoted xxx price. Dont bargain,who knows may likely end up having to pay xxxxxxx price for VAS (value-added service). If bargain to x price upfront,the room for VAS becomes cheaper and at most xx or xxx price instead of xxxxxxx price. VAS usually were an upgraded version of "better service" or some sort of fetish.

Conclusion,bargain for better quality service,hehehe... (i am starting to sound like propagating..lol)

See,if i never post the price list of Halo Kitty out,this info would never have come to light or it may have cause some sort of confusion between bro A getting A price and bro B getting B price. Worse,i would not know that there are 2 price list. Your reply has proven that sometime when we share information,the original 1st sharing information gets richer and better.

Sincerely thank you.

Interesting....looks like there are greedy people there and greedy people are the easiest to smoke (or bribe) and be taken advantage from...hehehe...

I must say the massage is more expensive than most place at 100k per hour and 150k for 1.5 hour. I took the 1.5 hour massage at 150k,special service at 150k with everything off and full roaming. Next time,i hope to get her to massage for me in nude,hehehe...

200k HJ is my max limit for those individual massage shop (not for hotel and men's spa). Remember i always bargain with a die hard rate of 100k and 200k fj? I always tell the girls "my friends tell me...100k hj and 200k fj...",and where did i find out about 100k hj and 200k fj? Who is this "friend" i am constantly referring to?

Its from you,bro. I pick up the 100k hj and 200k fj benchmark from you.

(your previous post/s on 100k hj and 200k fj years ago before i was even here has somehow affect me)

150k for 1.5 hour massage,another 150k for full strip off plus full roaming and after everything done,got a hair wash plus face wash. I think i had a good deal. Its my 1st face wash in Batam,hehehe...

Yes, correct, but it's MUCH BETTER to check-in and *get the boarding pass* immediately on my arrival. That way, I don't have to pass by the Horizon counter the day of departure. I have my boarding pass in hand and I go straight from Formosa to the gate.

Just to share ... that BSM chicken rice not for me ... Think due to hygiene and my tolerance for cold meat ... LS 💩 within 1/2 hr. Luckily was at Nagoya not wet market else would have no choice but to soil and make the market "wetter" in some corner

Very likely to try Formosa Hotel(unless suay suay before Labour day all tio book)

If you are staying in Formosa Hotel,2 popular booking joints already within about less than 10 mins walk from the hotel itself. (calculating base on you walking there for the 1st time)

Book hotel early to avoid disappointment.

There are no lack of girls within 5 mins walk from Formosa Hotel. In the event if all else fail,there is always Alishan KTV after 730pm.

Just curious which 4 booking joints the driver knows?

Bring along HDMi cable. If you decide to bring VGA cable,please remember to bring along an audio cable (speaker cable). Do note that the movie you bring may not have Bahasa translation,your girl may feel bored not being able to understand whats being screen...well...unless the show you screen is those xxx ones,hehehe...

Enjoy!

No spa-like places like those that of Spa Secret spa too? hmm....do you notice any hotel nearby if you dont mind me asking. If there is a hotel,usually there is a massage place just round the corner somewhere,hehehe...

According to my unreliable driver, he said there are "toko pijat" with "pijat plus" in Panbil area and somewhere further up Panbil has a good seafood restaurant. Well...let's see (yet to discover)....

Sorry bro,whats toko pijat and pijat plus? Hmm...i am currently on my own "mission",otherwise i would look at Pabil and/or Tiban...

I understand how you feel becos i have been there before.You just dont want to be dependent on others,yet hope to safe guard yourself. As a matter of fact,i find you are not paying him for his service as a driver,but more for his company and as a form of insurance. I hope to join you one day to Batam but w/o your driver,hehehe...

Thats is after you become 'independent' enough,which you will eventually be. Before that ,you may wish to 1st step out of your comfort zone,hehehe... Walk around the area of formosa.With maps on the link above,you cannot get lost and in the event if you do,simply walk to any hotel to hail a taxi or ojek (every 100 steps you will likely see a hotel). From Formosa Hotel,try walking to Nagoya Hill Mall. Hehehe..language should not be a barrier (tho i must say it is good to know their language) becos to date,i still dont speak bahasa too.

Hope this post reach you in time before you head to Batam.

Cheers and enjoy your trip.

Smart move. Considering that during peak seasons, u may not even book for the timing you want back a few days later, even when you book after touch down.

Hey guys! Planning to head to Batam this Friday. Can I check if there is any happening pub or club to drink at night?
And, other than Utama area, where can I find more massage shops that cost like 60k per massage? Thank you!!

[tomcat007]

Here, you can find the best recommendation...

^ Dropping by for quick translations
toko pijat: massage joint
pijat plus: massage with extras (hence plus), you know HJ, BJ,FJ,etc.

Tells me 100k = 0.5 time hj,hehehehe...it was a lot of fun.Imagine this,hj halfway,she tell me,"finished". I look at her eyes wide open and say "No! No!~"...lol...and she continues and then will stop halfway again...(repeated that a few times) it was full roaming for me but becos the place where i get the massage is curtained,so no full strip. I gave her an extra 50k at the end of the session becos of her good cheery service and at the same time, i wanted her to remember me as i planned to RTM for "something extra",hehehe....

There is wifi in this place,so communication was a breeze via google translate. Idola is only 5 mins walk from Formosa,2 mins walk from City Central,hehehe...on my way out,i was told there are...hmm...think i will keep this part to myself for now...hehehe...and by the way,my massage girl was a MILF,in her 30s.

Wow.....I remember I didnt have so much fun when I visited this place last time.....

In indo sometime they shortcut "hijau" as "ijau"

My favorite kacang ijau stall is in Utama. (In fact my favorite hotel in btm is utama) when you walk from MLS towards DCM you will hit a wall,(up there is the service road of DCM) there you are a few hawkers. One of it have a sign. "kacang ijau". I think it cost 5k a bowl?.

Counting down...
Im coming....
