1 is for stingy type like nono1973,the other is for the "better & best".

1 is frm the street of Btm bargained frm higher price to lower price,the other is minimum 80 but wnt exceed 100 sing $.

mayb 300k driver drives a 3 wheel vehicle,950k drives a Merc/BMW? i bet u dnt see many merc/bmw in Btm lei....

Wait,i hear b4 900k can book a mini van for 8-12 men?

My own counting is if i wan to use a 950k driver,i wil rather get 3 x 300k drivers so i take a vehicle in the middle w 1 more car infront & 1 behind. Like tat then i can feel posh.. machiam like Prezident coming to stadium in NDP. (still got spare 50k to hire another 2 ojek driving side by side my sitting car)

I use ojek...

http://samleong.shop/showthr...=#post12955266

...and thank you for giving Batam a try.

Tho you didnt exactly have a good time,i must say i have at the least learned something from it. I will also share what i learned from you as well as some "good spots" which you have missed which result in a not-so-good trip. My comment from here-on are of my own perspective from a learning angle.

My impression of Batam is that it's an early and quiet cheonging place, with a look and feel of a once vibrant nightlife way past its heyday. Perhaps from a raid or crackdown. Who knows.

Every new cheonging place is different,their ways of getting the WL,how to manage the language barrier,their thriving method to get the best out of their business etc etc. I cater all these as the city's sex/nightlife scene culture (whatever i call it,but not those traditional culture of a particular race). So if i were to head to any part of the world,especially for a rest and relax sex tour,i will 1st look into their "culture". Where do i find the girls,how much to pay and hence drawing out a budget,the style/culture of their sex scene,best timing and location etc etc.

I do not know where your experience of Batam came from,since you mentioned that this is your virgin trip to Batam.Anyway,thats not an issue tho,and you were right to say you head to a joint,pay up,the girl/s get send to your room etc and most if not all locals there are REALLY nice and friendly people. For me,i constantly reminds myself,i am a tourist in a foreign land and taking good care of my belongings is definitely my personal responsibility.

A wide open KTV loung with 3 or 4 tables with customers and ladies. I was told only one fat, middle-aged lady was available in which I quickly ran out of there. Perhaps I'm too late.

I see across the street in Queens, but the metal door is down and shut. I walk further up the street looking for Berlian to no avail. Swung back around to look for New Berry but couldn't find that either.

Hmm...you reached Ferry terminal and actually walked to Formosa? And the 1st place you check out is Dynasty99 which is technically a booking joint cum KTV. And later headed opposite the world famous Queen8933 (they came out in Newspaper many time). Bad move there,bro.

Booking joint (overnight girls) usually starts 11am (weekends) until all girls are fully taken or closes around 7pm. Its a weekends together WITH a public holiday. Its super peak time in Batam where the experience cheongster touches down Batam as early as 9am. By 3pm during such period,what that are left in overnight booking joint will be leftovers and by 5pm if there are any left should be considered leftovers and Rejects. And by 8pm,all leftovers and rejects should go back to rest and prepare for the next day. But some girls who are young at heart or some younger rejects will continue their "hunt" via discotheque/Pubs. Hence you see bro Spotlight recommending you to pubs and "the big KTV" at Formosa.

http://samleong.shop/showthr...5#post12969715

...which you really missed that part big time. I considered his advice a little half bake tho becos i think he isnt sure where he wishes to lead you to after 9pm when you arrived to Batam. But then he still did sound to you on KTV,hehehe...which is right at your door step,a "KTV". For knowledge purposes,there is a "big KTV" by the name Alishan which usually wont have less than 30 girls during weekdays,so weekends there are more. Then again,Alishan KTV booking is a little pricier than the regular booking joint but quality should be a little better as well.Likewise for the other 2 popular KTV, M1 and M2,i guess. It is still an option.

On my walk I found Bluemoon behind Harmony in which only one young but chubby chinese/indo looking girl was available. The guy showed me a flipbook of pictures and pointed her out, while also showing me the very, very small fish tank where she laid sleeping alone. I pass her up and continue my walk to find Chili bar. At 8PM is was filled with SYT so I quickly plopped myself down with a beer.

No one approached me - not even glances. A group of girls promoting Jaegermeister gave me 4 shots in a row in return they took pictures of me. I was quite high when all the girls left at 8:30PM. Chilibar was left with some Indian customers and a few middle-aged ladies. Couldn't even call them MILFS.

Bluemoon is a booking joint,i guess you already know by now. Here,Noname is at the 1st floor of Harmoni Hotel which you missed as according to my list.

Next is the advice given by bro Blackpage :

http://samleong.shop/showthr...8#post12970498

Which points out something critical before your trip..."1st May Friday first night of long weekend! Endless opportunities at 10pm, EXCEPT in booking places"...you were around Harmoni Hotel and you missed out another crucial place,No Name Bar/Pub. As mention in the previous paragraph,where do all the rejects and leftovers in booking joints go after work? Discos and Pubs...but disco and pubs dont just consist of "rejects and leftovers",there are also Freelancers (part-time and fulltime) and there are also ladies who holds proper jobs,eg dancers,singers,retail shop assistant etc. Yes,for the late comers,it is another good option too.

[nono1973]

I asked mami and she said no, if you want girl its up to girl and she must meet you after work at 5AM or so. Since the 6 best bars were owned by the same owner, I figure the system was similar or not work it.

This is the part where i am learning from you,Chilli Bar/Cafe. I am no night spot person in Batam,so thanks for providing the information.I can imagine if the Mami there were to allow bar fine,the girls would have been long gone before you arrived,hehehe...the objective of the girls there,to "help" customers spend more,hence no bar fining allowed. I learned this and thank you.

So I went to get a massage at Sports Centre.

Booking joint works this way,the girls got booked,they will only leave the hotel of their customers who booked them around 7am to 8am (those deeply attached leaves at 10am),so by the time they reached back to their joint,should be about 9am,they rest a bit,had some food and likely to be READY for work around 1130am to 1230pm on the weekends and/or 1230pm to 130pm on weekdays. Not forgetting the day you arrive is a Fri ,also a public holiday as well as a long weekend,an extended booking is highly possible by the girls respective customers so you still wont get to see many girls the next day,at least not the full range. Girls rarely leaves the hotel room of their customers when there is an extended booking.

Sports Massage is clean according to the list. Bro Newyorker did mention something about getting massage.

http://samleong.shop/showthr...9#post12971279

The list will help you better understand where the massage places are and you can sometime even bring them to your room for overnight after she finishes work at their Massage work place. Of course that would require a bit of technique and negotiation.And if the girls agree to it.

Ran back to Bluemoon and low-and-behold about 6 girls were in the fish tank! All of them were quite chubby and unattractive. Price ranged from, irc, 800k to 1.2m. The 1.2m barely was not attractive, but not ugly. chubby but not fat. and had a chinese/indo look to her. I relunctantly took her and forked over 1.2m. They asked if I want girl now or later, I told them later at 7PM.

Your choices are less,the price is higher due to demands during super peak time therefore you pay premium for less. For a 1st trip,i would say this is the BEST of the worst situation. Then again,1.2 mil girls in Blue Moon will be like 1 million girls in other joints and weekends i deduct another 100k-200k from bargaining which i always do,so very likely i should be able to get the same quality of girl during weekdays in other booking joints at around say 800k (900k)? The calculation is just base on personal assumption,and i can be wrong.

Hehehe...strangely,this part of your post tempted me to pay Blue Moon a visit in my next trip. 1.2 mil is definitely not worth especially when its around Harmoni Hotel during super peak time. If you read my summaries,i have yet to book a 1.2 mil girl before,hehehe....

I flip thru some of the FRs record i kept during my group trips with other bros,hmm...apparently only one guy has ever booked a girl at 1.25 mil rupiah that has about 80% similar look of a media corp actress at Happy Massage 8 but service wasnt up to expectation.

But if I was looking for a quick get away to get cheap, clean massages, buy some cheap clothes and house hold items, eat cheap sea food, and chat up some bar girls at a bar then yes, Batam is your place. But not for sex.

In my conclusion of your case,it is everything about bad timing,wrong places at the wrong time and missing out every essence of a good mongering city. Regardless of any part of the world i were to go to,and if i were to go in a bad time,heading to wrong places and missing out all the essence of a good cheonging area,it need not take a genius to know i am almost definitely wont be having a good time.

Example,you wont get the BEST durian during non-durian harvest time in Malaysia,or be disappointed when you arrive to China on the 1st day of CNY for 3D2N tour or go for a sex tour to any Indonesia major cities on the 1st day of Ramadan for 3D2N etc etc. All in all,i feel like i am going to a wet market fish stall that suppose to sell the BEST fish to try to buy their freshest fish at 12pm when they start closing at 1100am in your Batam trip.

Nonetheless,if you ever REALLY want to test out if what others says are true regarding Batam being a SEX paradise,simply read my Guides and follow it thru...yes,just once..READ,follow and try out. And if it still doesnt change your mind about Batam,then Batam indeed is not a suitable place for you. (clue : weekdays go early noon,weekends go morning) The trip cost wont cost any higher than going to Malaysia from Sillypore anyway,hehehe...

Good luck (on your next trip) and a blessed day to you.

(not exactly quoting the whole post now,but still gonna be very long)

May 2015 itinerary....

If it is going to be 3D2N,i will be having (i always standby for extra night):

( Click to show/hide )

Day1 :

I will be heading to a travel agent shop which i cannot remember the name now at around Penuin (windsor) area upon arrival to Harbour Bay becos like i say in my last summary,i dont like to be dependent on only one source for cheap and best stuffs.The name of the shop is in my office,hehehe...which i cant spell out now as i have very poor memory.I will try to grab a cheap room there and if i fail,i will go back to Kaha again.

After check in,i will go girl-shopping around the joints. No more New Berry,no more Gold Bird...lol. After picking the girls from booking joint,i am likely to head to Newton Spa...yes,i would like to take the road less travelled and there is this question i ask myself,do i see Newton Spa FR over the last 5 years in this thread? Answer is obvious.

Breakfast at wherever i am convenient (likely Bai Long at penuin) ,same for lunch.

If time allows,i would like to go to Beautiful Massage beside Keyza,otherwise i will be heading to Nagoya Hill Mall or Lucky Plaza to "earn" back my ferry money,hehehe..$$$$$ up my indo sim card etc etc.

The rest will be back to room to wash up and to wait for my girl to arrive.

Dinner will likely be at Zhen Bao since i misses it on my last trip.

Day 2 :

After girl left,i am more likely to head to Indo Rasa for massage and then breakfast. Back to room to wash up,if time allows will go walk around before heading to girl-shopping again.

After picking my girl,i am likely to head to Altalanta Spa or Pas Massage. The road less travelled include Altalanta whereby no one really write a proper FR before in this thread.Practically not much info about it. At the least i should go recce a bit to know about the pricing. Either way,i might do both places before heading back to room to wash up if time allows.

Back up massage place to go in case anything cropped up will be Madurani Massage,K8 and Trinity Spa.

Lunch is easy,Newstar Hotel coffee shop.

Dinner gonna be simple. i might head to :

...or go to the restaurant at Harbour Bay that serves exotic food (crocodile meat) or if there is something exciting in between and am too busy,i will just eat in Hotel or order Mcdonald,hehehe...

After dinner i will decide if i want to stay another night or home sweet home the next day.

Day 3 :

Free breakfast in Hotel, as by now i should be broke,hehehe...

Of course before heading back,Indo Rasa Massage is a MUST visit....hehehe....i think i am addicted to the vitalitas,hehehe...cant leave home w/o it...lol.

Home sweet Home

________________

Those who wish to tag along,kindly read the Terms and Conditions 1st before PM-ing me your intro. Alternatively,you may wish to travel solo using my Batam Basic Guide which has proven to help a handful of newbies and yes,not forgetting there is this May 2015 latest issue of the Batam Cheong List is also up,hehehe....1 or maybe 2 slots are available as i type this.

Dates are not confirmed of course.

Cheers!

Counting down to my Batam trip...6 more days to go,hehehe...hopefully exchange rate will be as good as today. I am not greedy,9900/SGD will be good enough....lol. (it is not impossible judging at the movement of the exchange rate today,hehehe..)

*excited*
