Hey bro, you are based in Btm right?
Me meeting up with Bintanbeer tonight for BBQ dinner + Bintang Bir, want to join us?

Next go batam chio me la bro...
msn me [email protected][

QUOTE=Vizz;1875004]used to frequent there abt 2 yrs back,now only go there occassionally.pump in some info for u guys hope it helps.

theres a new ferry terminal at batam which is called habour bay.take a ferry from habour front(sg),wavemaster which will cost abt $32. only wavemaster travels to the new terminal and the new terminal is very near to batam's town which is nagoya.upon reaching batam island,u can see plenty of taxis right outside the terminal.a trip to the town will cost u abt rp25000. if u wanna save a little,walk out the the terminal the the main road,there taxis u will be able to bargain with them to abt rp10000-rp15000.the ride will probably take 5min only which is much more time saving then the batam main ferry terminal.

Upon reaching find yourself a motel,which cost only abt rp 100000 (sg$18),or even cheaper a night.there are a couple near lucky plaza at batam,u can walk walk look out ard there.

when coming to find girls for overnight bonking,u got to go with someone whos familiar with there,bring u ard to choose girls,main from KTV joints and massage joints.personally i got to notice that KTV joint ceweks always pester u to go back their joint to have a drink at night.got to find out from a cewek last trip i went that they have commision in bring customers there so thats why.drinks are not cheap anyway,only a couple of dollars cheaper then SG pubs but standard damn poor.whereby massage joint ceweks are more nua,will always stay in hotel room whole day.only need to bring them out to eat nia,for me i prefer this type.go in the noon,bring them back,bonk liao put them in the room,go out walk walk and massage.another thing to notice is if possible,do not go find these gals with your taxi driver unless u really dont know where to find,coz the mamasan or papasan will add rp 50000 into the gals which should only cost abt rp 200000 to rp 250000 for the driver commision.walk into the joint,and choose your gal,ask the price n tell them that u are alone,no driver le,that should help u cut down the price a little.

basically a 2d1n trip cost me only abt $130-$180.nothing much to do there only bonking n cheap beer from the supermarket.meals just have it at the roadside stalls or coffeeshops.pretty cheap too.

thats all folks.hope these info helps n u need to know anything else just drop me a pm!

oops.. paiseh bro.. the cost of the standard room at Pagoda Hotel, which located near my preferred hotel, Utama, is RP138K which is approximately S$24.12.. but in my personal opinion and preference, and like what i said in my FR, i'd rather pay more for comfort lor.. the one at Pagoda really cannot make it, to me at least... well, one man's meat is another's poison..

cheers bro

Correction. Going rate is Rp200K - Rp300K depending on which joint you go. Is not a matter of age, there're 17-18yo booking rates at Rp200K. Good quality one goes for Rp400-500K for booking. As for chinese, there're only the minority and quality not as good, booking rate Rp300-500K. And the chances of a " real chinese" in joints are 5%. So whenever they say chinese, take it with a pinch of salt cos the likelihood of them being a fair-skinned melayu is 95%.

bro, for a longer trip like this, it all depends on you really. If you don't intend to do any shopping at all, prefers a good hotel like my all-time fav Hotel Utama, makan at coffeeshops or foodcourt and don't go disco,it might cost you maybe around S$200 max (including ferry tix).

But if you have prior plans to shop, have good seafood, drinks at the local disco then S$300 should be comfortable. The things are so cheap over there that you'd just spend alot without realizing it. What me and my buddy usually do there would be to convert and compare the local price to SGD with out trusty handphones, then we decide whether to get it or not. It all depends on you bro.. hope this helps..
