Its like every 2 to 3 months new girls come,and old girls go etc. They dont seems to like to stay in a place for a long time and i mainly visit Batam only once or twice a month...most places today is so unlike ex permata indah booking joint (closed down).

No worries. It’s 6am here n awaken by my wechat gal who bought local breakfast for me before she heads for work. Hmmm. Really getting sticky. But no complaints. Free breakfast n one round fired to start my day. Always gd to just lift up a OL short skirt, only semi unbuttoned her top n rammed in hard fm behind.... she had asked for raw as it’s safe period ..... but big head always wins.... play safe n chong without worries.....

Pm for pts exchange or meet. Likely will go for one round of massage, clean gd one n then movie with her later. Any gd massage place to go?

For the explorers.
There's a newly opened cinema in Batam.
A new shopping mall complex actually.
Is call MB2 or Mall Botannia 2.
Not sure it's in Google map but it's next to Mustafa plaza. Alot of anchor tenants eg Hypermart, SB, KFC, BT, JCO, etc.

Enjoy!

You are in Formosa hotel? If so,opposite Formosa has a Relax Massage (clean,1 min walk) and the hotel itself has a King Massage that starts at 9am onward. Looking for couple massage? Then you may wish to try Nagoya Massage and Spa just 9 o'clock from formosa hotel (about 3 mins walk). They have couple massage too, just that this kind of massage spa places ,prices in per-hour basis wont come cheap.

Alternatively, you can ask your girl to recommend you,just hope she dont recommend you places like Tempat Senang Spa Resort,which is Batam most expensive (can cost around S$200 plus per pax,if i dont remember wrong),hehehe...a truly luxury massage spa in Batam.

Another alternative would be in-room massage together with your girl (4th floor King Massage),hehehe...which i believe is best for myself. Book 2 massage girls,get them to come to your room for a few hours massage (go upstairs 4th floor to look at their menu if you need to). The rest i guess you know what to do. For your info ,there is a sauna room in King massage which as a hotel guest yourself,can use it for free (2 pax free) and this sauna,practically no one using it or rarely knew it existed,hehehe... So if you want hanky panky with your girls after/before a massage....well....do what you deem right...hehehe...

* you can even get 4 girls to massage 2 pax if you wish to too,you design your own package.

The nearest theater is at Nagoya Hill Mall but thats the place i dont like to go with girls (girl's favourite theater becos its in a mall). My favorite theater is still Harbour Bay Mall where there is couple seat called Sweet Box (for privacy). But as mentioned by many bros here,this Harbour Bay mall is a close-to-dead mall,hehehe...many girls dont like it becos they cannot use that mall to spend their guy's money. Around Harbour Bay Mall also has quite a handful of massage places too,all within a few mins walk.

For clean massage,another choice would be to type in Batam Massage in google search engine. Sure to come out with something. Nagoya Hill Mall's perimeter also have about a dozen clean MPs too. Take a walk around there to look see if you happen to be there.

Everyone's game is different tho,hehehe.... and it seems like you found your own game board in Batam which you can enjoy yourself, hope you have a good time.

Cheers!

*i rarely go Batam on weekends tho.

** i forgot to add that New Spa at Batam City Hotel is a unisex spa,hehehe...just a reminder.

Other than Indo Rasa massage (closed down), Madurani massage is one of my favourite place for dick massage by some really very old ladies (early 50s of age).

A place good for revitalizing of my manhood when i am in Batam (also depending on which lady who does it). This place is worthy of a try if one is looking for "good health",hehehe...other than Sports massage of course.

Take their shop's contact name card,they can go to your room to massage too (but at double the price,if i dont remember wrong).

Cheers!

interested in this dick massage but Madurani massage location seems like a bit ulu.

Sports massage also have it? is it also done by early 50's lady?
is it sports massage or sports massage & spa?

Hmm...it could be a residential area bro. If you are Batam's resident, what would your wife/mother/sister/girlfriend do when your neighbourhood you live in were infest with prostitution? Its just a reflection of Singapore HDB area's Chinese massage shops that were shut down by vice a long time ago. Remember Singapore's Joo Chiat/Chinatown's major plus plus massage shops? And how most of them were wipe out?

Another thing that plays a role too, that would be the distance may be too far for the girl's 2 way trip (offer to pay the 2 way transport and then try again,hehehe...).

Check with the girls themselves for answer before finalizing the deal,some might take the risk,some wont (its weekend bro,Batam girls wont have lack of business to do). Be discreet tho. My primary objective is to make myself happy when i go on a holiday,not other way round.

Sports massage dont have girls providing dick massage. Madurani does (just not every massage girl do that tho).

Sorry,i wasnt clear in my previous post.

Agreed with that and especially so when one is there for the 1st few times and not able to understand the country's culture well enough.

The shop waiter tried to short change him $20k. Lucky my friend counted the money n went to look for the waiter where he immediately return him the $20k w/o even being asked.

Well...Batam Center ferry terminal, a ferry terminal that many Singapore tour agent use it to bring Singaporean to Batam. Much more than from Harbour Bay ferry terminal.

Just be mindful that there r groups who pray on tourists in Batam.

Sincerely thank you for sharing. This is good info and i shall keep them as part of my Info Vault,hehehe...

I google Christopher Salon and apparently your friend isnt the only who got cheated there.

Below quotes were extracted from Trip advisor and happens to a tourist , in the other branch at BCS mall.

Today I went for hair color at CHRISTOPHER salon at BCS. It was terrible and I feel so cheated!!!!!! I enquired how much and I did confirm the price before I proceeded with the treatment. They also mentioned that it comes with free reflexology and I double confirmed the price again before I proceeded. Out the blue when I almost finish the treatment, the price changed and it became 35% more expensive! I was told that the reason was because the reflexology was not included in the price quoted. How could they suddenly change the price when treatment is almost done?! This is not acceptable!!! They told me it's a miscommunication! However, after checking their review online, it shows that it doesn't just happen to me but there's so many of them that experience the same thing! How could a miscommunication happen to so many people? Bad comm-representatives? Or bad business ethic? Do we even need to make a black and white contract before we proceed for hair treatment? Gosh!

They even have a price menu but yet they can over charge (according to what i read is 35% extra),hehehe...and by the way,there is at least a dozen complaint on this hair salon (and i havent count in other sites,hehehe...). Note that there is quite a handful of branches beside the Nagoya Hill Mall and BCS ones. There's another one at Batam Center too.

This is the 1st time i hear Batam's hair salon industry also has bad eggs.

Oh...anyway,we have a bro here in SBF who once almost got cheated by Kaha travel's staff at Batam center,hehehe...left behind a bad name to the company. Now even Sindo ferry company also plays that game,hehehe...interesting indeed.

Thank you again for sharing. (i ,thank you becos i learned something)

Hehehe...i vividly remember those discussion. I remembered becos i was one of the few who kind of insisted not to fork 50k rupiah or higher for a point A to point B trip from Harbour Bay,hehehe...few years later before my Batam 4th year, 50k rupiah becomes almost like a norm in the thread. I almost forgot how to bargain with taxi drivers since over the last 1 odd year, respective hotels will pick me up,hehehe....some even send me back to ferry terminal too.

In case you havent realize,food prices has gone up a little...hehehe...chicken rice (nasi ayam) used to be somewhere around 13k rupiah,now its like either 15k or if not more. Same applies for noodles too,hehehe...used to be about 15k to 17k...now i can find 18k to 20k rupiah noodle in stalls everywhere,hehehe...

1. Ferry Tickets for Horizon Ferries still remains at S$48. CNY period over the last 3 over years remain at $48 + S$12.

2. Hotel prices i regular go seems to have come down by at least 10%,maybe due to competition.

3. Food prices goes upward a little. (chicken wing at J8 food court goes up by 1k rupiah each within a year)

4. Taxi fare on the whole has gone down due to Harbour Bay's 30k nett fare, and other online taxi services.

https://sbf.today/showthread.php?p=...9#post18103079

5. Prices for overnight booking girls from booking joint 4 years ago were between 600k rupiah to 1.3 juta. Its now between around 700k to 1.5 juta. (I didnt put those higher end KTV girls into the similar category when i say this)

6. Handful of dirty category massage shops per hour pricing has gone up by between 10k to 20k rupiah compared to 4 years ago.

7. HJ from massage shops used to 100k rupiah lowest when started 4 years ago,today lowest my friends could get is 150k rupiah (after bargaining).

8. HJ from massage shops so far according to my friends is about 300k with relatively top notch service and they abide to almost all request. 300k were usually massage girl's 1st quote price. But non-dirty massage shops 1st quote price will at most time be higher than 300k rupiah (yes,even for MILF,hehehe..hence bargaining down is required).

9. FJ used to be 200k rupiah which i have tested (and verified by many others in the forum) about 4 over years in massage shops. Today according to friends ,minimum for fj in Batam is at 300k rupiah and more towards older MILF (30 years old and up) ,not SYT. SYT however can still be gotta at 400k rupiah after bargaining. 1st quote by girls usually 500k for those around 22 years old and up. And 600k for those who were younger. Its up to one to bargain downward. Lowest i have seen being bargained down on wechat,massage shops and is 300k (Batam 2017 best records). Booking joint lowest record for ST is known to me to be at 350k rupiah,hehehe...

10. Hair salon (V-salon) prices has gone up gradually each year from 60k to 100k over the last 3 over years too (cut-hair plus hair-wash plus face-wash).

* milf here is referred to "Mother i Love to Fuck"..and do note that most indonesian girls married young,hence there's still a chance anyone could get a 18 to 19 years old MILF. Or one could also get a 28 year old girl who's not married and has not given birth.

**above-said were just some collective info of my own,after i analysis it

Those touts at the taxi stand were very rude and threatened me with loud voices when i tried to take a photo of the taxi price chart. Hence from that day onward,i stop taking taxi from Nagoya Hill Mall front door. I take a one min walk,out of Nagoya Hill Mall parking gantry entrance to hail a taxi if i ever need a ride.

Seems to me Batam's WORST taxi drivers were now consolidated mainly in Nagoya Hill Mall,hehehe...WORST is a strong word to me and i mean what i said base on my very own experience.

* Worst is a strong word. Its worse than just the word BAD.

Basket. She is right. Darn safe period. She having her menses now. Wtf. So morning is my last shot n she is sticking to me now like glue. To make things worst, the few gals I chat all ask for a meet tonite. Hmmm. One ask to go drink n one ask to come over my room to chat. That’s life. Resigned to nite movie later n no further action except bbbj. Errrrr. Racking my brain to think of a reason to kick her off. Lol.
