From these prospective I deem that they are very open having the mindset of previous colonial masters hehehe

The place, and in fact all the places in that area depends much on the "supply and demand" theory. No business that time, price will be discounted. :mad:

In the past (before covid time), regardless of which day or time i go Aiko, i surely have at least 20% off. I said 20% because last time happy hours is 30% and non-happy hours i am given 20%. :D

I cannot say the same today. :o

Hehehe...you missed out on Hair Salon? :D
(i am talking about Sri Kandy here but people in forum may think it is Sri Kandy booking joint, hehehe...it is not. You surely know what i mean,right?)

Just got a 100k rupiah hair cut today. ;)
(now whole salon knew me, hehehe....)

Actually its almost like going to some Pubs or Bars in batam, where you buy drinks and the girls get commission and you enjoy their company and then cross fingers, hoping they go to hotel with you. For me, i am just spending 100k to 200k rupiah few times a day in massage shops, in hope they will do something "special" (very very low hit rate).

The key differences is to score a "shot" in pubs/bars were much higher then in MPs and hair salon (note that the percentage of prostitutes is pretty high in pubs/Bars/disco whereas you get 0% prostitution in places i dwell in). Then again, once i got a score, i can easily expand my 三宫六院 (an Emperor's concubine palace) easily. :D

I tasted the clean tight sweetness, and now i am trying to get girl A to be jealous with girl B, hehehe....which seems to be working. ;)

Moving forward, i am now trying new things this few days, by getting the girl/s who do "special" to do 4 hand massage for me with their new young girls who do not (and cannot) do special. And then coax them to do "special", hehehe.... :p

It will cost more but well, what is 600k rupiah x 3 two hour 4 hand sessions (before 20% discount). Expensive or not? Anyway, i am still trying...success or not haven't know yet. Just finished one session with the 2 girls an hour ago (no special tho). To be continue later and/or tomorrow again. :p

What i lack is time. If i only have enough time......

Simple gameplay for simple me in Batam.

Hows the weather now in Batam bro? Hot n humid now? Looks like no need jacket there liao..?

There is 后宫佳丽三千，how many girls u plan to keep in batam? :rolleyes:

You already got a few scores.

Recently I encountered the same, I enquiry a Twitter girl but she said me ask for fun. Few days later her okt(acts like her social media acts agent) call me almost times and keep messaging me to pickup the call, asking me to pay cancellation fee. I don't even pickup the call. He threaten me he know my identity and will contact my family.

Here are some advice to
1. Do not use WhatsApp to contact girl, don't reveal your number. Use telegram or WeChat better
2. Deal directly with the girl, don't deal with okt
3. Dp not pickup any call.

Hi hi bro, long time no see. Hope all's well with you.

Agreed with some of your pointer but note that Sri Kandy is still around, Kupu kupu, Gold Bird and many others were either down or replaced tho. The golden time of Overnight Booking Joint is almost gone. Booking joints main core of customers were no longer Singaporean but mostly Singapore's foreign workers and/or those who comes to Singapore to work.

Not that there are no more Singaporean, just lesser.

Hmm...you may wish to try Namii Hotel or even Biz Hotel.

I shared their weak points instead.
(after this post, it may not be easy to book a hotel at a lower price tho, hehehe....)

Namii no elevator, no breakfast. But who needs breakfast when there is a small food court downstairs. No elevator means if you chose to stay there, better stay in low floors. 2nd floor or 3rd floor is best. Opposite Namii Hotel is Utama hotel, hence the rest no need me to say much. :D

Key thing is, it is a 2 star hotel hence cheaper than most other hotels especially if you get the bigger sized room.

Biz Hotel, breakfast nothing to shout about. In house massage a waste of time (and VERY expensive too). Proclaimed 3 star hotel with a mini swimming pool at top floor. A prominent location in the Utama/Pagoda circle where girls were plentiful. ;)

Price range is like a normal 3 star hotel, bigger room cost much higher.

A little advise, give booking joint a miss but no harm walking in to look see. Look harder and roam around MPs in Utama/Pagoda circle. You might be surprise what you can find.

Then again, man's meat and poison theory applies.

Thanks for the advice, indeed. Becareful.
Not worth to being bully by these scammers
Wan fun but don't fall into these traps.

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
 

Hehehe...weather same as Singapore. But today 15.02.2023 morning is a rainy morning therefore quite cold. It's 11am Batam time and rain is almost stopping from the wee morning hours.

But over the last few days, you really do not need a jacket. You will feel being micro-waved if you wore one, hehehe.... :D

Ferry is fine, no longer cold like CNY time. There are occasionally but it comes and go within an hour or shorter.

For using permanent taxi, to each his own and there are pros and cons. If one can get pass the cons, by all means do so. At least you do not need to walk around those anti-Grab, anti-GoCar and anti-online taxi AREA to get a taxi. Many people i knew do not like the idea of carry heavy things and having to walk around for the next 10 to 20 mins to another non-anti-online taxi AREA to get a ride.

Also can be use to avoid gojek/motorbike pest stalking in the Utama/Pagoda.
(plenty of such stalkers in Utama/Pagoda area)

Then again, all the advantages needs money. ;)

Hehehe....good technique.

I like how you do it. Which is quite similar to my strategy, especially useful after 1st and 2nd shot. :D

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
 

Things are starting to get more expensive in Batam, beside ferry tickets, booking girls and Hotel rooms. Even my favorite 1 plate of Budi Siang Malam chicken rice at Grand Batam Mall also goes up by 1000 rupiah, hehehe....


This trip, my hotel room price has increase from CNY's S$29 to today's S$39.

Same room, same hotel but different price. :(

Exchange rate is not fantastic too.

11380/SGF at Grand Batam Mall.

Just my bits of sharing.

Time for my 4 hand massage appointment. :D

Bye for now.

Actually, I found out that now Grab and Gocar can pick up at all hotels and malls. They only can't pick up at terminals and airports.

For me is convenience of no need to walk, but also that he knows my tastes, so he keeps an eye out for newcomers or new places that match those.

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
 

Not exactly. As far as i knew, one can use Grab/Gocar in any hotel/s even before covid time (even when hotel has their very own fleet of taxis). Never have i encounter being stopped from ordering online taxi outside any hotels (using my friend's phone apps).

But not for most malls and ferry terminals. Malls and ferry terminals has a specific location which is usually around 10 mins walk away when one wish to use online taxis like grab/gocar. So, still have to walk a short distance.

In malls and ferry terminals, non-online taxis were just a min or 2 walk away but will cost more. In other word, you will still be considered paying more for convenience.

At least you knew your driver is safe enough to be with. Girls also feel safer when you use a regular taxi to pick up and drop them you without you being physically in the vehicle too (thats from the mouth of the girls i knew).
