Convenient in the sense that i reach Batam Center,within 15 to 20 mins,i can walk to a certain hotel which has basically everything under one roof (i often work hard in the beginning so that i can be lazy later). Everything under one roof means massage shopssss and eateriesss with and w/o special within 5 mins walk away,movie theatre,malls and hopefully even booking jointsss. KTV however is optional,hehehe... Nowaday,if there is no massage shop around the area i stayed in,i "bring" the massage shop i like along with me,if there is no booking joint,i also try to "bring" one with me ,same applies for some eateries. But it is currently unsustainable in the long run due to its distance and time required. Quote:

Sincerely thank you for sharing. I will be looking for special service at these top tier places,hehehe...i am always doing that. I dont like to compete with others for the same piece of cake. Too "crowded". ![]()

And I cannot do the same in Batam Center (i may die walking to my hotel,hehehe...). Quote:
Example : Today,Yahoo finance rate is : 9,680.15/SGD Yesterday Yahoo finance rate is : 9,600.15/SGD 1 hour ago today Yahoo finance rate is : 9,630.15/SGD What i am trying to say is,going to a money changer in an interval of about an hour difference can always get different rate in Batam. By the time you reach the jewelry shop money changer which gives you 9410/SGD,the one opposite Formosa could already be going at 9450/SGD which you may have miss. I have tested this a few times during the beginning of my Batam trip using a ghost-to-ghost hookup method having friends in different part of Nagoya Hill Mall outside (even inside) money changer and myself being in opposite Formosa's money changer. At almost the same min,we checked the rate together at different places. No need to believe what i say now,in future after a few more trips to Batam,you can then testify it yourself,hence in my last trip,i shared exchange rates of one money changer in different parts on the same day. https://sbf.today/showpost.p...&postcount=808 And most time (in fact almost all the time),they will be different. I do understand not many will do what i do,but this is just my habit in Batam since these money changers were so near to where i stayed and it usually takes no more than a min to walk there to open my mouth to ask them,hehehe... Quote:
I bought essential items from Hyper Mart in Nagoya Hill Mall too,except big bottles of mineral water. Simple reason,i am lazy to carry the few big bottles of water back to hotel. And at the hotel,1st storey...turning left from hotel main entrance and keeping left w/o walking out of the hotel perimeter,there is a provision shop that sells essential items,hehehe...i bought my heavy items from there. Its always good to walk around,to familiarize the area,especially near where you are staying. Good job,bro. Quote:
Safety is always one of my main priority. Quote:
Go beyond the "crocodile den" level, Heaven on earth awaits you,hehehe...if you ever read my Batam group trip terms and conditions,the "punishment" for joining in my group trip w/o reading my guides and remembering them during a "test" by me is to WALK IN to a booking joint ALONE to ask for name card w/o booking the girls. Nothing to fear for season Batam cheongsters of course,but it can be a stumbling block for most Batam newbies who are like me who dont understand Bahasa Indo, hence i always say this in the thread,my Batam guide/s was written base on a newbie mentality for newbies. Newbies need to read. Today,i can no longer write them again and if i do,it cannot be accurate.

![]() I see you got smoked by the taxi driver,hehehe...i have rarely heard Gold Bird girls having many problems to the extend they ranaway in 2 hours,unless the problem usually 1st lies with the customers. Do note that when i say i have rarely heard before,it doesnt mean it dont exist. I am still a frog in the well when in Batam. My data (and experience) collected were mainly from friends who travels to batam, some forums,this thread and my personal encounters. Gold Bird,New Berry and Bunga is the 3 main booking joint i knew that provide a more consistent standard of service and rarely has runaways. All booking joints has runaways,just that this 3 has minimum. The method how one pick their girl applies when i say their standard of service is consistence too. Good to hear that you take each step a time instead of planning too many things in a one night stay. Quote:
A 27 year old girl,hehehe...at 1.5 million rupiah,now you know why i say Bunga is the most expensive booking joint in Batam. Then again,Bunga girls are all season old birds who were mostly no longer under contract with any joint. Their service standard can at most times be quite above average (given her age). Many bros i knew got addicted to the girls there,hehehe... I bet with you,the moment you show an intention to walk out of the shop w/o booking any girl,the price will come down,hehehe...another thing is,girls in Bunga if she likes you...price can definitely come down further. Last checked was on March 2016,hehehe... Quote:
Quote:
Taxi cost : 40k to 50k Ojek cost : 20k to 30k Alone ,it is fine,but in group of 2 or more...you may wish to take a taxi instead. Cars can usually sit up to 4 person comfortably. Cheaper too. Just a thought. Quote:
Quote:
I believe somewhere along the line,you paid some extras. Could it be the girl's next morning's tip? Could it be her meal? Maybe you did some shopping,hehehe...well,this part only you know. Good luck bro and may you have a better next trip. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! PS : I have to divide this reply by 2 becos i exceeded the maximum 10k words limit in one post,hehehe....

![]() For a short-distance taxi ride (Nagoya, Jodoh, Harbour Bay), yes you're right the standard fee is 50k, but negotiable down by hard bargainers (do you know any? ![]() For the ojek, the standard fare for a short-distance ride (Nagoya, Jodoh,...) is 10k. I suggest to pay 15k to be not stingy with a poor worker. 30k for Formosa-A2-Formosa could be ok. I mostly pay 15k for a single ride. 20k could be given at night or if one wants to be very generous. 30k for a single ojek ride is too much. Last edited by Black Page; 23-03-2016 at 10:58 PM. |

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
Many money changers do sell this cheap tickets. The price gone up to 300000idr 1 month ago. So i don't think can get the ticket in gumtree, corousell for $31 to $33 as mentioned in another post. Btw, for better clarity to other bros here, the offer is for sindo and majestic ferry only, where both serves btm ctr.

In comparison of if you were to take a taxi of 4/6 seaters for each trip. And i think you meant IDR 800, 000.. And of the trip after all the commission he received from the shops you went, the spa you went, he would have earned in total roughly 1-1.3 Juta. Quote:
IDR 250,000 for the car rental, IDR 250,000 for the driver.. As eventually he will get his additional income through commission.. For Ojek nowadays within Jodoh-Nagoya-Peniun i pay 15k just like you. 10k is achievable though.. I realized that most of the time if you ask them for price or quote them a price, at the end the final price will usually fall between 20-30k.. Definitely most will oblige as it's still cheaper than Taxi for single traveler. For us foreigner, our rate increase/reduce by 5k in negotiation. For locals, it's by 1k in negotiation ![]() My cheapest ride was 7k for a 5 mins ride. For Taxi will be 25k-40k within Jodoh-Nagoya-Peniun, for taxi it is a must for me to confirm the price with the driver before entering his taxi. The carpark entrance fee for taxi in harbourbay is 2k. Usually i add it on top of the agreed price for the taxi driver.
