Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

[nono1973]

Dear all who PM-ed me regarding the Newbie Batam Group trip/s,

1st of all,i apologize for not replying your PM, there are simply way too many of them over the last 2 to 3 weeks. But I would like to announce here that due to work life and my own private schedule (its year end), there are currently no newbie group trips from me. If there is one,it will usually be announced here in the thread about 7 to 10 days in advance in this thread.

Thank you for all your interest.

If you planned to go to Batam,following my newbie Batam travel guides written on my signature,i can be almost sure that you will be able to navigate Batam on your own. Many 1st time newbies has succeeded before (if you read this thread and the old thread),so I am pretty sure with your wisdom from reading it and determination to try to understand it,you should have no problem getting there to test out if Batam is suitable for you as a cheonging ground.

When travelling to Batam,my personal constant advise is always :

1. Drop whatever expectation you have by at least half.

2. Be humble

3. Be courteous and nice

4. Be patience

5. Read the page 1 key point of this thread

6. Always bargain downward (most important among all the 6 advises)

I said it before and I am going to say it again,...going to Batam is like taking a ferry to go to Sentosa,all you need is a passport with at least 6 month validity,a little courage and a willing heart to learn. Following my guides, you seriously cannot fail too far even if you are running solo.

For newbies or 1st timer,your step number 1 should be staying in the right hotel. And then navigate from there onward.

Basic steps to go to Batam is just :

1. Book a ferry from Harbour Front Horizon Ferry (aka ex. Prima Ferries) to Harbour Bay

2. Reach Harbour Bay Ferry terminal, take a taxi to your hotel (taking a taxi is where your 1st bargaining starts).

3. The rest from here on,you will have to read my guides, becos once you are at the correct hotel,you cant really fail very much thereon. And if you do,you may wish to visit Tua Pek kong Temple to ask for flower water to bathe in (bathing in flower water here is a joke,its meant to wash away bad luck and what i mean is,you just dont have the luck).

Do not need to worry about language barrier. Do not even need to worry about no girls becos staying in the right place give you access to almost every kind of girls you are looking for (if you are in the right time and luck of course).

One last thing in some of the PM I received, i would say try not to PM me telling me you have read my Guides and then start asking me questions like how much you will need to bring to Batam, where to find the girls, which joints or KTVs to go to ,which hotel to stay in etc...hehehe...becos anyone who reads my guides on my signature will definitely 101% knows,the answers to those questions has already been on the guides itself. Yes,its a strong word when i use "101%",hehehe...if you pop the same question/s in the public,you might most likely be ask to read the thread or my signature too.

Post any question/s that is not on my guide/s here or seldom discussed,i am sure the many bros who were way more experience than myself will be happy to answer them (if they knew),and at the same time,i could also learn from them. Win-win situation, right? You get the answers,we all get to learn.

And if you are already in Batam and encounter any problem,do not be shy to post your question/s or doubt/s too. Help is often available and this is why this thread is named : "Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread". Nearly all basic info travelling to Batam is on page 1 or my signature (which is updated),everyone here is here for the similar Interest regarding Batam and Help is most often,always available.

Thank you all for reading this message and in hope for your kindest understanding.

May all newbies here have their happiest, most exotic experience in Batam. And if you didn't, come back here to see where goes not right, with a willing-to-learn heart, do some fine tuning (or correction if needed) in your next trip and you may just be ready to have a better next trip. Repeat this process and each of your future trips thereafter to Batam will just get better and better.

Cheers!!

2. if I m going alone, can I go ktv just to book a girl just for the night? never try ktv before

3. other than ktv and booking joint, wat r the other avenues for booking girls overnight

4. is there any map of booking joint available ? read back 30 pages but cant find any

5. 1yr + ago, it was said to avoid new berry and indah. memory was said to have little girls. goldbird was the popular joint. is that still the same?

Will post my FR within this couple of days.

Review on NEW SPA

LOCATION: Penuin, Batam City Hotel New Wing, Levels 5 & 6
OPERATING HOURS: 11am - 11pm

Heard about this place and decided to give it a try last Sunday.

NEW Spa was opened approximately 2 months ago. According to the very friendly and super chio GRO that chatted with me, the spa is still in a soft opening stage, and they still have yet to have their grand opening.

This spa was initially opened as a massage + HJ place, i.e., you pay one fixed price for a semi-decent massage + HJ over 90 minutes. I learnt that many of the therapists were poached over from Octopuss spa.

About 2 weeks ago, they started having a full FJ package as well.

In short, NEW Spa is essentially operating like Octopuss, with the following packages available:

TH1 (pronounced as Tay-Ha Satu) - Massage + HJ (90mins)
TH2 (pronounced as Tay-Ha Dua) - Body massage + BBBJ + FJ (60mins)

TH1

The published rate of TH1 in NEW Spa is at RP388,800. This rate is cheaper than Octopuss' published rate of RP446,000.

NEW Spa also have a happy hour period from 11am - 5pm, whereby you are given a 40% discount off the TH1 package. This means you will only pay approximately 233k during happy hour to get a HJ happy ending.

Hence, in this instance, NEW Spa wins hands down, especially during happy hour with its pricing at almost 1/2 of Octopuss.

However, if you are an Octopuss member (you can become a member for free), you will get a 30% discount, hence you pay abt 312k.

This means that during non-happy hours (between 5-11pm), Octopuss has the better rate if you are a member vs NEW Spa.

NEW Spa currently has about 15 therapists for this category. You will not be able to see the therapists prior, i.e., they won't be paraded in front of you for U to choose.

TH2

As mentioned earlier, TH2 was started in NEW Spa for less than 2 weeks only. They currently only have 3 girls under this category, but the GRO says that they are expecting more in the coming weeks.

The pricing of TH2 is at RP888,800, or 500k more than TH1. According to the GRO, this is the so-called Gold category. If it is true, then it is cheaper than Octopuss' Gold category gals, which are priced at 946k.

Happy hour rates will also apply to TH2 bookings, but it is not a straight 40% discount off the 888k rate. Instead, it will be 40% off the TH1 rate, then add on 500k. This means:

388k - 40% = 233k + 500k = 733k

In this instance, it is a little more difficult to make a comparison with Octopuss as they have Silver & Gold category. In Octopuss, the prices for TH2 are:

...........Usual Price....Member Price (approximate)

Silver---746k---------612k
Gold----946k---------812k

For NEW Spa, the prices are:

...........Usual Price....Happy Hour Price

Silver---688k----------533k
Gold----888k----------733k

GRO shared that in the future, NEW Spa will also have Silver category gals. Similar to Octopuss, you can ask the GRO to summon all the TH2 ceweks to be paraded in front of you; this is known locally as "contest".

Hope the above price comparison will help everyone to draw their own price conclusions.

FACILITIES

NEW Spa has the same usual facilities for a Batam spa; hot pool, sauna, steam room, gym, etc. Being a newly opened place, the facilities are of course in more pristine condition than Octopuss.

The facilities are all located in Level 5 while the rooms are all located on Level 6.

SERVICE

For my inaugural trip, I decided to go straight to the point and chiong for a TH2 package. I sat on the sofa and before long, a GRO came to join me.

Now I need to sidetrack a little and say that this GRO (her name is Willy) is goddamn bloody chio! She's about 1.65m with a sweet face and an absolutely tight and lithe body! She was wearing a short pair of shorts and I couldn't keep my eyes away from her silky smooth long legs.. I chatted with her for quite a bit and told her frankly that if she was working TH2, I'd be RTF-ing her every week. Hahaha... if any Bros succeed in KC-ing, you have my utmost congratulations.. Hehe

Anyways, back to my booking. As mentioned, they only have 3 gals working in this category. Willy said that one was on code red, one was in room working so left only one, but promised me this one is very chio & good service. She called her out and lo & behold, she was one of my usual gal (Gold category) from Octopuss that I had RTF-ed several times!

So without further ado, I took her and the rest was pure, sweet history; we already had the strong chemistry from our previous sessions and it was as usual an extremely sextifying session.

I took the executive room and it was nice and clean, with a decent albeit small shower area and the air con was very strong. No TV though vs Octopuss which has TV in the rooms.

Service as shared include BM, BBBJ & FJ. A glass of ice was also placed in the room for what I assume is for ice BBBJ, but I didn't try it cos the sexual tension was already too high... LOL

CONCLUSION

All in all, it was not a bad (perhaps even fruitful) commando trip, and I will probably return soon to try out the TH1 package and to bio Willy...

PS: There is also a Grand Dragon KTV within the same compound and I believe it is the same concept as the other KTVs like M1, M2, Alisan, BC, etc with gals available for seating and/or booking. I'm not really a KTV person so I shall leave to that other Bros to venture and thereafter provide FR...

Yeah, based on the current happy hour pricing, I feel that GDS offers the best pricing and value in whole of Batam for the TH1 package, even better than those massage joints in Utama area. Those places, 1 hour massage they quote 90-100k, piano massage a little and they will pop the GQ and usual 150k for HJ. No facilities and the rooms are crap.

In GDS, the price of 233k will allow you to use the spa facilities, get a decent massage and end off with HJ. Up to individual to see if can top up 100k to get the therapist to strip/autoroam. Stay there whole day to bio the GROs also no issue, nobody will chase you away. Hehehe
