Further more, the prices here are much cheaper and unless they considering living here, the money they try to make from such tactics you mention will not be able to cover them in Singapore.

Thanks!
And yes, you, nono and a few other stellar contributors makes this, IMHO the best, most informative and true sharing thread on SBF. And I am writing just so that this good thread does not also get destroyed by these crooks.

Unfortunately, the one thing these crooks do NOT want is for Samsters to be able to so easily figure out ANY place and will cause havoc, start battles, target good guys like you and nono to discredit and soooo many other tricks.

As for cost of living, many of these crooks do NOT live in Singapore - either by choice i.e. wife/GF or more likely, because they no longer can stay in Singapore because of legal or reputation problems; they have no choice but to eke out an existence overseas.
And they can very well co-exist with the local scammers and excel as these SBF crooks play upon the good nature of fellow Singaporeans to perpetrate their ethnic scams.

And you'd be surprised how they can manipulate/steer their prey - and even others just reading - to go to the most expensive places/type of play where they make the most kick-backs.
I touched upon this subject on : http://sammyreviews.store/showpos...postcount=1002 and post 1004 following.

If you're interested in some of their methods etc, you can read my thread http://sammyreviews.store/showthread.php?t=508851. Sooo many ways and so dastardly!

SEAJ

PS - Please note how blithely counchpotato just put up nono's map to post a stupid one liner thank-you; just another tactic... spam away posts which uncovers him instead of addressing what must be a "pointed" post IF he is indeed just a regular good guy.
And really, best if you or anybody else want to keep discussing this, please go to my thread or the battle zone. I do NOT want to rubbish this thread with off-topic discussions. Thanks!

Yes, I pay a monthly estate maintenance fee as well.. It's 225k per month...

Ahh.. i misunderstood ! Then per month on average i guess roughly $500 on Housing, Utilities, Cable connection, maintenance fees not including laundry.

Hmm.. Per annual will be 6k, good value for retirement in the future for me

Laundry ownself wash la... My house comes inclusive of a washing machine as well...

And... Since U're only 21 yrs old, u better multiply the $6k 3 times cos of inflation by the time u retire 40 yrs later... Hahahah...

Oh, don't forget u need pussy fund too.... U better multiply $6k by 6 times...

Bridge massage and reflexology near formosa. Not as clean as it seems as I was offer a hj on a supposedly clean joint. Not sure if it only from selective ladies but whoever need her no. Or name can pm me. I don't want to share in public so as to protect her. My guess that hj is prohibited in the massage shop.

Massage: 9/10 been to countless massage and she is the best.
Looks 6.5/10 in her 30s
Hj 8/10. She uses hot oil omg.
Service: 9/10 chatty and friendly

Yea,actually overall experience not bad. Except the price is quite stiff (on indo term) cos of the 2 girls doing massage plus rotatingly HJ. When i look at their menu,i actually expected a worse situation becos they only say 2 girl massage + Milk Bath. So i pay 498k for the service written in black and white,should be consider fair game if they skip BM and roaming. The 2 girl's BM is a bonus to me,and they strip till left underwear,hehehe...well,i manage to strip that little piece of whats left on them too...lol.

I dont think i am going to try the burger massage anytime soon but it is definitely good enough for a once in a life time type of experience. 498k plus 300k (hj by 2 girl) with 2 completely nude pretty-looking girls BM-ing for me and allowed me a full roaming,i believe planet Earth no longer has this kind of price. Not forgetting the massage is those 90mins,well trained,no-piano type too.

This is considered a Luxury to me.

Hey guys,

Im' planning a batam getaway in July.

Don't lose hope yet.

This money changer at Bedok near the princess theatre does accept these old notes, but not at the prevailing rate though.

Yes...i will do it after this post.

There is no need to read/browse thru all 1980+ pages of posts,the key to most answers,especially basic ones are on my signature,hehehe...

Thank you for reminding me ,it is also a good information which i took time to find out from other senior bros who knows better than me.

Cheers,bro!

Please note that I have named and shamed this SEAJPukGai, alongside his clone Ongkianloon as a crooked stealth agent.

I have also challenged him multiple times, but instead of addressing, he continues to just post piffle all over the forum.

Please be aware.

I am glad the info provided helped. I dont forget I was once a newbie ,cheonging safely and attempting to know this place name Batam was my priority back then. Beginner's Guide was design to help one understand Batam a little on their 1st 1 or 2 trip so that one can 1st know what is being offered and what kind of fun you wish to have in Batam. I am glad you understand my language,hehehe...

They kept my passport in reception, so it'll be safe.

As promise,i have returned to Sillypore,1st thing i do was look for your FR and reply you. Formosa Hotel will issue a room to anyone as long as there are empty room ready and available. You also did a good job on the 40k cab,hehehe...thumbs up on that.

The only problem was the aircon which the staff told me that "it should be like this" cos it turns on and off randomly.

Good to know you check all the stuffs in the room. Usually smoking room will have windows. If there is no ash tray in your future trip,you can always call receptionist or room service to ask them send you one. Not enough anything in the room,feel free to call for it...but do tip the room service person a bit after.

I pretended to be interested and said i'll come find him later and asked for directions to the McDonalds'. He led me through some ulu alleyways but in the end he really brought me to the McDonalds'.

Get used to the taxi driver and motor cyclist calling out for business. Its part of their business culture.Just reject them nicely and ignore thereafter. Then again,some taxi drivers or motor cyclist are like Batam Information counter,hehehe...as long as you got the right one. Most important is need to get one that understand what you say.

Was not sure about the name of the joint but friends have told me that it was queen 9833 (2nd floor, pink walls, hiding behind a small food store). OKT spoke basic english, which was a relief. Showed me a few girls and decided to pick a SYT for 800k overnight. OKT says she will be available from 3PM since she returned from overnight at 8AM. Paid the mamasan and included 20k kopi money.

If you stay in Formosa Hotel,Queens8933 is just at 10 O'clock from the Formosa Hotel front door. Opposite Queens is Dynasty. Once a while Queens will occasionally have some rare gems,hehehe...oh,there is no need to tip papi/mami,but i guess 20k coffee money should be alright.

Try walking to Nagoya Hill Mall in future,and you will be fill with surprise if you are a 1st timer. (but avoid bringing your girl shopping,hehehe...)

She didn't understand much english and i didn't understand bahasa indonesia, though i'm able to speak a bit of malay here and there (heng ah). Long story short we bonked for 3 hours straight. Showered together and ordered room service dinner for the both of us.Bonked somemore till 2AM and KO liao. I set my alarm the next morning for 8AM for breakfast. In the morning we showered and I sent her back before having my breakfast.

No comments on this one,you just reminded me of my last year's 1st visit to Batam.

Yes,as long as you stay in Formosa Hotel when you are a 1st timer or still new to Batam,you basically are covered from in-room Massage,overnight booking joints,KTVs to food,shopping,money changer and any "what if" plan B in the event one is stuck with any cheonging mishaps.

From a scale of 1 to 10,how do you rate your recent Batam trip?

Both at 1st do not allow FULL roaming but later give in as 1 HJ by 2 person is a very strange process which includes some form of vitalitas by the MILF but as both girl's strength and speed are not well coordinated for the HJ,it is almost impossible for people "like me" to cum fast and easily.

Arggh, I got to try that... How do you get them to strip? recently I find it hard to cum without proper stimulation..hahah. Old liao, that is part of the reason why I don't go Delta Spa, so so massage and no roaming, loose interest after a while.

Baloi Centre, Teban area, Batam Centre area
renting whole house with 2 bedroom, normally is below 1.8juta a month.
Even fully furn. also can get below 3juta.
Different is the kost u rent at Happy Garden is monthly payment,
renting house is normally 3mths/6mths/12mths on shot
