My answer to girls who asked will usually be 'I am from Sillypore',hehehe...which already tells them,i can 'afford'.

My answer is at most time, "Yes, i 1st time come batam, my friends tell me....hj 100k,fj 200k..." ,which tells the girl i am with during that time that i do know the so-called market rate. 100k HJ and 200k FJ has been imprinted inside me since day 1 i am in Batam.

*another jackpot for me becos they (the girls) will know not to quote too high a price for me and usually the final rate wont go beyond a certain amount too far from 100k hj and 200k fj, hehehe...and i will still bargain down becos they already knew i will, with the mention of "what my friend/s tell me".

100k hj, 200k fj...add 50k for SYT has always been my bench-marked price.

Good observation,i share the same except I convert the situation to my advantage in my case. I don't speak the bahasa language nor Malay,which could probably make them impatient enough to try to close my deal asap or they may end up with no deal.

Its a mind game.

A small tip of 10k to 50k rupiah depending on who it is being given to and base on their service standard if it can make Batam a better place to be in. Reward the good,avoid the bad.

I always start small 1st when it comes to tipping, in case they open lion mouth later. I am the type of person who would pay for a taxi ride to go to another place simply just to reward another person (or the whole team) who could and have ever provide good services.

Some of the hotel's staffs will know better,hehehe...

Good info,bro. Thank you. If I am ever in that area again,i may go and try it out as mee pangsit was one my favorite food in Batam. I often have them in my nearly every Batam trip,hehehe...

Not exactly a fan for dry bak kut teh ,but then I never know what I may find there,hehehe... Batam is always full of positive surprises.

Thanks bro.

Curry rice,my favourite!! Hehehe...thinking of the meximo pub wan tan mee's new curry rice menu already makes me hungry,hehehe...

I believe I will go there to give a try this one (curry rice), if I can find its location...hehehe...

All the while when booking ferry ticket online via Batam fast to Harbour Bay has much often been between S$48 to S$50. It hasn't change much since 2014. The good thing is,it will not change even during CNY (non-last min booking),hehehe....whereas Horizon Ferry to Harbour Bay will cost me about S$60 during that period (S$10 more for business seat).

[PrinceJ]

im rather reliant(preference) on a certain condom brand from Japan, I suppose I'm able to bring to Batam (as in no restriction of such right..)?

usually when I travel I'll shuck in my check-in baggage, but carry-on and for ferry, need gurus to shed light on this haha, tiaaaa!

[miumiu6464]

If it's Okotomo, they sell it in their Minimart here. But, anyway, I've not had any issues with bringing condoms into batam. Heck, I always have at least 12 everytime I'm there. With the abundance of ceweks there, you never know when you need one.

Hi all seniors here...
Just changed job recently and have to go weekly to Batam.. looking for some advice.

Usually staying in Baloi/Penuin area iHotel.. if Wechat girls are not reliable (tried once, and got a 2/10 for 600k 2pops), what option do I have nearby that area in the evening? Will try BCH spa next time.

Or any bros willing to PM me and share some reliable wechat contact? hehehe

There's another plus plus massage joint in Penuin called Pleasure 69; it's near De Best Hotel.

They offer the following packages:

1. Massage + body massage
2. Massage + vitalitas
3. Massage + BM + Vit + HJ
4. Massage + BM + Vit + FJ

It's quite expensive though, with the FJ package costing about 900k and the massage is generally piano style.

Cewek quality has also deteriorated and the last time I visited many months ago, the selections were either quite MILFy or bordering on baby elephant types. Not sure if the situation has changed.

For now, better to stick with New Spa in BCH. Otherwise, Nagoya & Utama area is just a 5-10 min ride away, and Octopuss & Atlanta spas are just 15-20 mins away

It is quite new, deluxe room is quite spacious. Location is good within kampung blue. I was luck to get their opening special promotion 245000 for deluxe and 175000 for standrad

Cons there are, no slipper, no safe box, too thin bedsheet, breakfast equal to zero. Oh, btw, do remember their hot water is on the blue side lol.... you will know what I am talking about...

Hi

I am a newbie and gonna go batam for the first time on 31st December to 1st January, is the price of $65 good for 2 nights?. i know it will be busy there as it is the end of the year. I tried to book formosa hotel as adviced in the newbie guide but I guess it was all sold out so I am thinking of barelang hotel. Is it a good place for beginners and its it near joints like new berry? Is there a newbie friendly hotel to recommend other than formosa? have read up this thread and realist most people will buy their own condom and that is what we should do right? And we dont have to buy sim card as there is wifi in the hotel i guess. Any tips would be great!

I think bro nono also mentioned about joint "Justmine Massage" at Gideon Hotel. But, they are equally expensive and charge carrot head rate.

At Pleasure Massage, you can take the O package at 400k +/- then nego with the masseuse for the FJ. I always call for this cewe "Nurul" when I'm there. Young milf at 27-28. Good hardworking cewe.

These are the current 3 joints around Penuin area I know about. Only BCH's New Spa is worth a visit for their free HJ package (only if cumming is allowed).

It's in HarbourBay compound. Daytime, no issue with makan. After 7pm, might be a bit issue. I don't know how late the coffee shops are open until, but there are seafood restaurants in HarbourBay though they are the types that cater more for tourists.

Formosa is still available on Agoda, but at $72, too expensive.

Lovinna Inn (Nagoya) have room at $41.
Batam Star has room for $26. It's just in front of Gold Bird.
Use Shopback app for a few $$s saving. Pm me for referral code.

Hi thanks for your tips! I have booked batam star since it is cheap but I just realise they don't have Free wifi. Anyone knows is it worth it to get a sim card there? I won't use much data mostly is just to read this thread for more info.

That would either be 1 star or 2 star hotel.

Yes,only family room left. Well,its peak season,peak days too..and i wont be there,hehehe...

You can try Utama or Biz if you are beginner. Why Biz or Utama? A picture is better than a thousand words :

Yes,you may miss out on New Berry and perhaps even Happy 8,Permata Indah and Gold Bird,but what you will be getting will be Kupu,Bunga,Sri Kandy and most of the massage places you would ever ask for. Even MM and Indah2 wont be too far out (about 20 mins walk).

A new booking joint was around there too (which i read from this thread).

Utama or Biz as stated above. Both were my standby hotel in case formosa is down and out. Da Vienna can be a good choice too as its less than 5 mins walk from formosa hotel.

Yes,i see you really did from reading your question/s,hence i cut my reply-queue and replied you 1st.

Depend on how many days you wish to stay in Batam. If you are staying for more than 2D1N,a sim card would do better. Most higher scale massage shops (aka spa),hotels and eatery has wifi. Just ask their waiter/staffs for passwords.

Tips :

1. You can stay in any hotels as long as it is convenient for you to move from point to point.

2. This is the time where things,girls,massage and every other things will be higher than normal day (compare between weekend versus weekend). Remember to bargain or be prepare to pay MUCH higher than normal.

3. Be patience,be nice,be humble and avoid too much attention. Oh,and cut whatever expectation you have by at least half too.

4. Whichever hotel you are in,the hotel staffs would be a batam beginner's best bet (for the time being). People can run,hotel cannot run. Get their hotel name card if you are buying a sim card (you will need to at least have the hotel's number if their name card runs out).

5. In case you are visiting any of the Batam's Men spa :

...and go only before 3pm.

6. Get a full day driver if you have 2 or more people during a peak season like this. If you wish to book a full day taxi, you will need to ask around when you arrived to Batam. Below is my taxi reference for you :

I guess thats about it. I shall add more if i could think of more,hehehe...
