Everyone's market rate can be different online. As for my own,it would be 50%-66.7% off after bargaining over SG's prices. Every shop's girls in batam will try to quote customer SG price so it's up to u to bring tat down.

I go to a SG men's spa,usually cost $70-$80 without the special,add on special abt $50-$70. Total can come out to be abt $120-$150. In Batam,I'll be expecting around $50. Of course,i'm talking abt men's spa now.

For smaller scale & in-hotel massage shops,i do a similar comparison. Special service HJ is abt $50 & a FJ abt $100 in SG. In Batam would then be abt 150k-250k after bargaining for HJ & 300k-500k for FJ. Anything higher would be considered higher than normal for me.

There's however one thing i have to agreed with bro nono, that is the higher one pays ,there's the likelihood of a more inferior-ed service.

Just quote an example in one of my 1st few earlier trips to batam. I visited a hotel MP,the girl quoted me 500k,i didn't bargain,happy-ending ends with no roaming,no full strip off & if i want 'those' additions,i will have to top up another extra 100k+100k,so end up have to pay 700k if i wanted 'those' ++.

Another time in the same place,same girl. I was quoted 500k again, i bargained to 200k. Again there was no strip no roam,& i have to top up 100k for roaming & another 100k for full strip. End day after all the bargaining, we agreed to a price of 300k for the same service i paid 700k for. I told her i would tip her more if her service lvl is up to my expectation as a bonus beforehand & by end of my session,due to her hardwork & the extra mile services,i tipped her an extra 50k. So my total damage for a better than my previous 700k session cost only 350k,yet with the girls going the extra mile to please me in there. I visited the same girl at same place once more before i left batam to help her remember me better with the same bargained price.

The lesson i learned during that trip was,if i wish to start with a more inferior-ed service,i should not bargain at all. I bargained for my future RTM & RTF sake. Thereafter after that eventful session,all other girls from the same shop don't cost me more than 350k anymore.

I don't pay more than 500k for fj & 350k for hj anymore. My usual fj cost between 250k-400k,hj cost 150k-250k. For me to pay to my maximum of 500k/350k,the girls will need to be at least an SYT below 22 & not have given birth before.

Surrounding Utama hotel's more rundown MP,i pay 100k-250k for HJ & 200k-350 for FJ.

Hotel's Palor & Men's Spa that dont provide hj packages,i pay 150k-200k for HJ & 350k-500k for FJ.

Chinese locals in batam,i pay 200k for hj & 400k for fj.

Wechat FJ i'd bargain for a flat rate of 400k. It's my last choice,so they can take it or leave it.

Those prices i talk abt don't include entrance & i'd say, it's yr ultimate call to make during yr own session when u are there.

I would not recommend anyone to visit Batam on Ramadan for the first time, but if one knows how to move around, it has a lot to offer.

Hi all. Ive been reading this board for the past couple of weeks and planning the trip, and I just want to thank everyone that's contributed to the body of community knowledge. It's greatly appreciated. For me, it was a choice between now or never, with no third option unfortunately. But yeah, I get your meaning now that I'm here. Anyway, if anyone wants to grab a beer tonight, first round is on me.

Yes, still can get membership. As a matter of fact, I just signed up as member last week; it's 100k for one year membership. Quite hi-tech, they will scan your fingerprint and next time, just sign in using your fingerprint.

Hotel 89 is about 110k for 1.5 hour massage. No specials, clean place. Please do Tip the girls. They work very hard.

Bei Long is at the peniun market. Open in morning only, close about lunch time. If u go during sat n Sunday, can be very crowded

Bai Long at Penuin wet market

[Lao Er Ge]

Yes. Bai Long at the market. The fried carrot cake next to it quite good too.

Confirmed Bei Long is at A2 food court . Their mee pangsit good too though Bai Long one slightly tastier. Bei Long selling laksa also ...looks and tastes good too.

I have never failed to go to the nearby Eatern Food Court for the fried snapper fillet and fish head yam soup. Not cheap and crowded. But very nice and fresh fishes. Have to be there before 12 pm. Normally sold out by 1pm.

What happened to NoName?

It was used to be my favourite hangout from Thursday to Saturday. Full of local girls dressed up to party and open to adventure, mixed with some bar girls and professional FLs. I have incredible memories.

Now it's desolately empty, even yesterday Saturday. Total sadness. Only 3-4 regular working girls, always the same since months or years.
If it is dead on Saturday, it means it's really gone.
What happened??


DON'T SAY BECAUSE IT'S RAMADAN. Four Play was full instead, but turned to a gay bar now. Square is now the place for the local upper class youth. It was full also Friday, imagine how packed in Saturday. But girls in Square are upper class, have handsome boyfriends, they don't look at the foreigner as an interesting new friend. They don't need.

I am afraid my Batam is gone.

Ya,ya...got good sure will have bad. I knw u always try 2 set a balance in the 2 world of the same place so as 2 see a differnt view.

I tht tis problem abv u aldy settle within yr own ways of travel liao rite? The fussiest ppl can onli stay at their own hm do hj on their own or they themself play wit sex toy.

Watever goes ard always comes ard. No need doubt,u plant wat on the grd,sure 2 grw watever u plant.

Then again, many girls didn't like them (the FW) which results in them running away or citing reasons to do so (or they will indirectly force customers to throw them out). Those girls applies those many rules (including the 3 bonk rules which is becoming more frequent,according to this thread) for the foreign workers to Sillyporean over time and now,look at what happen,hehehe...

Partly bcs these Fws never tip the gers & practically gang-raped those gers,hence wenever they bk gers frm joints,they will be quoted a higher prices. They onli go btm during p holiday so those okt chop em until whole body blood.

Go ask the gers, sg/m'sia men who pay 1.2 juta & bangalah/indian fw who pay 1.5 juta,the ger will choose wich 1? I tell u,most gers will choose sg/m'sia men. But SOME okts frm those joints nwaday very gian tao kao,aso impose nt jus the rules but the price meant 4 Fws to sg/m'sia men. Well,some Sg men being nt veri clever kena the trap lor...but rarely can hear m'sia men kena those dum by those gers/okts b4.
