Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

[Ojekbtm]

It is taxi. I went to study some simple bahasa relating to numbers and directions so can bargain better. They always quote me higher price but I always bargain. If they don't budge... I walk away... they usually yield.

Thank you for setting the new benchmark for us to follow now. Even better than nono! Clap ! clap !

Facilities include shower, steam, sauna and jacuzzi. Jaccuzi area is quite big with roman statues around. Sauna and steam is rather small. Place is generally decent, but showers a little dirty. Food-wise, got some nasi-lemak and goreng pisang. The lounge seems spacious and comfortable, but very dark. Drinks only got free water and ginger tea. The rest have to pay. Beer should cost you a couple of SGD. You ‘order’ your girl too from the receptionist that is IN the lounge area. My friend and I specified very clearly we want “muda dan langsing” (young and slim). Apparently, you are allowed to change the girl once.

o MP: Atalanta Spa.
o ML Name: Vanessa.
o Age: 25 (alleged).
o Massage: 4/10.
o Looks: 5/10. Semi-SYT.
o Body: Can’t really see in the dark also. But I think quite the meaty type (not my type).
o HJ: NIL.
o FJ: NIL.
o Attitude: A bit of teasing here and there. Generally friendly, until the tips part.
o Damage: Was quoted 400k for HJ. Didn’t ask about FJ. I told her I only will pay 150k for HJ. She say no way. I say never mind. Hahaha.
o RTM/F: Might go Octopuss to try first.
o Comments / Observations: A generally classier place compared to many others. Staff at the lounge are friendly and helpful. If you go early, you will not find many people there. But at around late afternoons, you will see many people streaming in. Most (if not all) for the day I went, were local men only.

For those that asked me questions, give me some time, I slowly answer your questions. ^^

One of the Bros here who tagged along previously also had her. He had specified otherwise. I guess they don't pay attention to your requirements unless you are a regular. I mean why bother when they know you most likely won't be returning again anytime soon. Make sense right ?

Anyway, he had her for overnight. Heard she is very straight but very horny and wet. Her eyes very slutty. Has CIM mouth and COF look. Don't know if you can still remember her looks and agree ...

On the contrary,diabetic patients need to drink more water than non-diabetic patients to prevent dehydration. Not in big gulp quickly but in smaller amount slowly. It is ok to pee often,in fact better for your heath if so, as your kidneys still need water to eliminate excess glucose and other unwanted products. If there is no enough water,they (the kidneys) will try to get water from other parts of your body to keep functioning and in doing so,the body cells gets dryer and dryer over time.

Many people, especially older people, do not get most of the thirsty symptoms. It seems that the thirst signals become weaker as we age. Diabetes may also get people used to thirst so they don’t feel it as much,hehehe...and if you have diabetes and you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, you’re waiting too long.

I agreed with your statement i bolded on the quote. I am always thankful for the information provided,especially the bad experience shared which serves as a reminder,not to make those silly mistakes.

As for ratings,i think its to each of their own. Everyone has a different expectation and different requirement when it comes to cheonging. I found mine and am happy with it.

Went in and was approached by this indian mami, but cannot speak english....i went inside past the hair saloon and all, wah crazy man got like 30-40 girls in total, syts to milfs all have, but never really take a close look cuz like abit intimidating like so many girls staring at you one person lol, tell mami i come back later.

Yes,when in Happy 8,take your time to look at the girls. Get some eye contact and to see if the girl shows interest,many failed in this aspect there. Too many girls in one single joint tends to blind (or blur) a person. I took about almost an hour to get a closer look at the girls there few trips ago,hehehe...my friend broke my record and took about 1.5 hours on his May trip,hehehe...no,we arent choosing wives,we just have some tcss with the girls and their mamis.

Was approached by okt atek, he speak chinese, bring me in, only see like 8-10 girls inside, only got semi-syt to milfs. Felt much more comfortable in new berry though cuz can comm with okt also. Ask him for younger girls, and he rec me this other girl, say ex one service might not be good. Decided to just take and try out since first time here anw.
Quoted me 1.1 juta, i bargain 1 juta he str8 say okay, after that realise should have open mouth bigger ask for more discount. Tell him to send to formosa at 4pm.

Well,at least your bargained. And i thank you for that.

I dont know about the price for cialis in Batam,was it a box of 4 that cost 500k plus? I think that most pharmacy got stock,but they too lazy to go get it from other shops.

Thanks.

You can always ask the receptionist to dial for you. I mean there is also a phone at the side of the reception where guest could use to make local phone calls w/o the need to ask too. So you actually do not need to buy a sim card. Its always good to know of other options which applies to most other hotels too.

Just sharing.

Okt quote 1.2 juta, i tell him 1 juta, he dun want budge, then i tell him in a nice way, my budget only left 1 juta for booking, after that he agreed.

4 girls? Hmm...was it weekend or weekday trip?

Checked in at BCC, quite atas, really different standard for formosa, I booked the execuite king deluxe for $63 on agoda. Need 200k rp for deposit. Was allocated a non-smoking room on the 20th floor. View can see whole of batam, quite nice. There is safety box also. Took some pics of the room.

I was always looking forward to try this BCC hotel,hehehe...i like the see thru bath room. I have always like this kind of bath room,hehehe...thank you for sharing.

There was not really much distinctive given information on your FR that i could comment much on. Like the time of visit in each place and the date of your visit to Batam. You will know what is right and what isnt in your trip,mistakes you made and things you successfully accomplished. Found what you are looking for,just go for it.The mistakes you think you made,dont make them again.

Nonetheless,i wish and hope that you will have a better next trip to Batam,whether in group or solo. I have tried both,and i find solo best.

Cheers!

SYT FJ no more than 300k. HJ no more than 150K

MILF FJ can go to 200k. HL 100K

all in rupiahs.

Well,whatever the price quoted by the massage girls,i only aim for 100k and 200k fj benchmark. From there,i slowly move upward upon its value-added-service. Example,if the girls strips (full or top strip),and its roaming coverage (top or full roaming),hehehe...i add between a 50k to 100k on top of the 100k. SYT or non-SYT plays a role too. All in all,wherever places and whatever type of girls it is,HJ never exceed 200k and FJ never exceeded 350k. (which includes SYT Indo Chinese girls who could speak farily good singlish)

Its just a benchmark i set for myself. Other bro/s may varies from me.

Agree. If you are a old bird, you can always nego down with good bahasa and act like a local.

Agreed. I always got mistaken as local there especially if i rent the motorbike there. Different treatment. Once i went to good massage the SYT ask me to name my price for FJ. I quoted 250k and she agreed. She even say usually she will ask for 500k haha

Can you share more information about you renting motorbike.

Hi wonder if any bros in batam now.

End of May and beginning of June,still good to go. But be reminded not to go on 6th to 8th June 2016. Its the 1st 3 days of Ramadan (base on my own calculation and reading on internet). Most entertainment places will either not be open or open very late and closes much earlier. Should avoid mid 3 days too and i would forget about going towards end of Ramadan,most who dont live in Batam would already have gone back hometown.

I think so,even smoking i would choose to be more discreet and try doing it indoor. Ironically,in Sillypore,i cannot smoke indoor but can smoke outdoor,hehehe...and in Batam (during Ramadan) i have to smoke indoor most time and lesser outdoor.

There is one thing i notice,Saturday and Sunday exchange rate usually quite the same,so if i go on weekends,i usually change everything,but not for weekdays. I mean if i stayed in Formosa Hotel,money changer just 1 min walk from the hotel,so walking to and forth is pretty fine for me. Its like passing by and i pop the GQ to the money changer,hehehe...hence i visit money changer very often.

I have stop taking VIP (with bath tub) in massage shop since a long time ago. Nowaday,i opt for massage w/o oil to save me the trouble of a shower after massage until i reach back hotel room.

i remember one Bro mentioned a certain massage shop at Nagoya Hill Mall area who dun change bedsheets becoz customer just keep coming in.
i went is because to try the Hot Stone massage....definitely wont patronize again.

Hmm...that dont sound good. Most of the time when i go for massage,the massage girl will bring bed sheets and spread it onto the bed before i lie down. I remember a time a bro who joined me to Madurani Massage,i forget to tell him he should not lie on its bed when he was 1st assigned a bed area,well...he stripped himself naked and jump on it and then start making lots of noise about the bed being sandy later...sandy as in there are some sands sticking on skin.

anyway, next time if going china....i ll try the hot stone one more time.

I think i may one day give Spa Secret (or those 1st tier massage places) a try,so i get a benchmark on whats good and whats not when it comes to hot stone massage.

so he recommend the same level.
he did offer to help me move stuffs...but i didnt fully unpack (usually i only do so at night)...so everything still inside my backpack.

Its nice of that guy to do that. For me,i usually unpack before my girl/s arrived to my room. In my 27th trip,the "guy" suggested i swap from junior suite to executive suite,but i say i would stay for a night to see how things turn out. But in truth,i have that "guy" reserved the executive room for the next day becos i know i am moving over the next day,hehehe...so on that trip,i stayed in both Junior suite and Executive suite,one night each to get the best of both world.

I would have stayed in Biz if i didnt already have an appointment with my friends in Batam on my 28th trip.

Originally Posted by MiG27

btw, next day check out, passing by the previous room, they already called in workers to fixed the crack floor.

Lucky you werent making out with any girls in the bath room that day,it would have been disastrous for both you and your girl,hehehe...

Me too. Strange thing i found out about Batam's electronic accessories is, most of it were imported from Sillypore,yet they are selling cheaper. I deduce it could be due to the rental. BUT...i find that Malaysia is selling the same thing even cheaper (usually 20% to 30% lower). It make no sense for me to buy in Sillypore all the more.

Not just electronic stuffs,even medicated and daily necessities things too. Then again,i need to make sure to understand its price and its authenticity,in case what i bought was fake.

Its actually advisable to drink more water. One thing i notice about Batam's heat over Sillypore one is that Batam heat wave from the scorching sun tends to be dry,whereas Sillypore ones tends to be more moist. And the tendency to forget we are thirsty is higher than in Sillypore.

Just a personal observation.

Wrong timing,definitely lesser or no girls,hehehe...

no intention to take booking gal...so...dun wish to give false hope to them.

Correct thinking there,if i have no intention to book a girl,i dont bargain at all.I just go in to see see,hehehe...and check out their 1st quoted price.

Originally Posted by MiG27

To be exact,the more popular girls usually takes their off days on either Sunday or Monday (if they have extended booking,then Tuesday).

it is probably too hard for my liking....
but some big size Bros might like it.

Wearing shorts? Hmm...sometime its kind of no choice,have to entertain them by wearing but half way thru the massage,i would request to take off if i dont feel comfortable (depending on VIP room or curtain room). The reason why i seldom go for oil massage becos i dont trust their bath tub or shower area after getting a small scare by Hallo Kitty's no hot water's VIP room and killing about half a dozen mozzies,hehehe...

I would often request for extra towels from the "guy" who brought me to the cubicle or room by tipping him 10k. I kiasu ma,scare they never change bedsheet,hehehe...and at times,inside the room or cubicle itself has no ready towel for me to change into. I also have the habit to try to communicate with the boy who hand me the towel too,hehehe...for some reason/s of course.

Originally Posted by MiG27

this time 80k.....might ask you to pay 90k....so ask properly before commiting.

Thank you for the heads up bro. If they have a price list,i will usually look into it 1st,but if they dont,i usually check the pricing 1st before being lead into any room. I am not so keen on the photo album as i prefer to look at all their girls in person (which i most often get to becos after my massage,i would offer to buy all of them a drink ,provided if the 1st initial massage is a good one). And once i get to see all their girls (or almost all their girls),then i decide if i will RTM,hehehe...

Words do spread around fast among girls,i used this point to tell the girls i am not a tip-runner,hehehe...i am a foreigner who is nice and humble but very stingy unless there are some true good value-for-service.

so didn't have much mood....to try new things.
but i did went around to find out certain things and also to satisfy my own curiosity abt certain places.
personally, i wont rate this trip too bad.

Our travelling pattern were different,i used a full day driver (in group) as well as my 2 legs.If i travel solo,i used my legs more and planned to the dot of where i wish to go,moving within few places where the sun dont get to hit me so much. Drink more water.

As usual,like i always say,it makes no sense for me to walk 15 mins to a massage shop,had a relaxing good massage,wash up after it and then walk another 15 mins back to my hotel perspiring all over again.

If ur plans was to chiong btm with frens,u can start by readin bro nono's signature links. It has help me understand btm before,so i guess it shldn't be a prob for u either as long as u know english. U can find ur ans & more there.

My views on this is there's a grp of ppl here trying to make others feel more fearful to contribute thus i see more spamming & lesser concrete sharing. It's becoming like a chat log for tcss with ppl trying to stir sm old scores.

Maybe it's just me having this weird feeling after reading back the last 6,7 pages.

If it's jus jacuzzi u are looking for,simply get a hotel with massage & jacuzzi & then order the massage girls up ur rm to help u both massage,u will feel more comfy that way.

I read before,i think from 1 of nono's post & from sm others in btm old thread. Diff booking joint has diff ways of pricing their girls. No 1 single joint were pricing their girls the same. i believe so after being in btm for a while,otherwise Bunga wldn't be named the most expensive booking joint.

It's the second time that happens to me. The first was just 2 weeks ago.
(Yes, I am back)

I am in NoName. A couple of girls, looking "well seasoned" on the battle field, flirt with me and seem very open to have a new friend. I am always very cold in accepting this kind of new friends, since I am not very much interested to kampung bule bar girls. In a while (after the first round of drinks I offer), it comes out they work at Angel's Pub. It's ok. Many bar girls move to NoName after their workplace closes.

What is not ok, for me, is that they propose to leave NoName and follow them to Angel's. And they become more and more insisting. Since this is the second time that I see this, I begin to think that this is a planned commercial strategy to drain people. Go to a crowded pub (NoName) and find some bule to pull to workplace. No thanks.

[Black Page]

Anybody knows what is Princess Salon? not Princess Massage, which we all know well. I guess it's not for hair cut, since a girlN told me it's open till 5am. I cannot understand what kind of place it could be.

Second, another girl who works at times as FL in Newton told me she works now in a karaoke at Telok Bakau, far away. They take her there by car every day. I could not find this place on Google Maps, but a taxi driver told me he knows it, that it's after the airport, that there are bars and girls, but "no good". Anybody can elaborate on that? I never heard about it.

According to what an ojek driver told me it's a plain booking joint with rooms for short time. From outside, so it seems to me. Something like Morena, just to say.
I think the girl was simply too ashamed to tell me she works in such a place.
Anyone can confirm?
