This trip is in 2015/6, can't remember the exact date. But, recently, read from forum that there's some change to their packages. Not sure if it affect the basic package hj though.

Massage include FJ
I think the price is close to SGD$50-55 dollars

Thanks for the info Sifu Nono!

Actually, if you visit Batam once or twice a month, Andromax is indeed cheaper. But if you are there once every few months, then i think the Horizon one would be alright.

There are also device like the Horizon one you mention at Harbour Bay for rental/sale as well, i dont know how much its gonna cost tho.

Formosa Residence...almost done up,hehehe...

Should be by end of 2019 or beginning of 2020,hehehe...there is one thing that surprised me tho, there is actually a helicopter landing are at the roof top on this condominium,hehehe...still building.

Impressive,isnt it? Formosa Residence fits right into my original plan. Now, i can go look for other medical insurance plan that covers the helicopter part in the event of any emergency (Aviva has one tho at around S$400 a year).

In remembrance of my 1st hotel when i 1st traveled to Batam.

Some positive changes to a very good one lup sap massage opposite dc mall. Hope other places will follow soon.

This week, I did a solo trip again to BAtam and visit a very good one massage place. Place is newly renovated after the holy month holiday. The management completely revamped the place and the system. So now they use package system just like in Bangkok/Jakarta. The receptionist said got newcomers as well as oldbirds. I was assigned to an oldbird, seems older face, and the service is so so only. I dont like her looks by the way. Not necessary to tip, that's what I think, and i dont feel like tipping her since I opted for the package deal and not so happy with the so so service.

DC
Package A : Massage and HJ, 250k
Package B : Massage HJ and FJ 430k
Package C : MAssage all in, HJ BJ and FJ 580k

I chose Package B as it is most value to my poor maths skills. Request for FJ first before massage as I am older and need time to shoot.

Sorry, not a good FR writer. But hope this helps some bros out there. And hopefully more places will follow such system and no more unhappy feeling of need to bargain with the WL under the old system

Price has gone up much becos there are willing people paying w/o bargaining,hehehe...it is indonesia business culture to mark up a higher than normal price for one to bargain downward (or mark up price 1st follow by some discount). You can simply imagine a scenario whereby a girl or OKT in Batam who quote a 20% to 30% higher than the norm price and then their customer just take it w/o bargaining at all. Now, guess what the girl/s or OKT/s think of "this type of customers" , follow by their future action thereafter...hehehe...

By far, i have not paid more than 1 juta for any overnight girls from 5 years ago till today. Batam still one of the cheapest from my perspective.

Note that during that time, the GRO also did not says that HJ is included in the package too. Most time during such packages, if the massage girl's customer did not cum, it would be the customer's problem and not girl's. So most girls will try to do a half-baked HJ so that they will extend extra time.

Then again ,such packages also do not include roaming and full strip,hehehe...and one may eventually pays up to 1 juta or more in a Men's Spa just for a HJ if they arent experience.

Solution? Get the spa's lowest priced package, talk to the girl/s and then pay the girl/s direct for all the extras. And you might be surprise the price could be way lower than taking up their other more pricier packages,hehehe...

My concept is, pay less as a customer ,let the girl earn more using my solution above and hopefully i can get better quality service rather than a half-bake mechanical job which disallow myself to have peace of mind when the girls try to up-sell me the time-extension or other stuffs.

Ok, seems like they changed the package. During the time I was there, they have basic massage package which cannot choose therapist, and another category with FJ which can choose Silver/Gold category girls.

IIRC, I got the lower price package. The therapist did ask if I wanted the hj, now, who would say no? Then she proced to just do it without negotiation. I just assume that she's new and pay her what I thought is reasonable price.

Now I on twitter, many ceweks charge ST up to 1.2 juta. Used to costs only 1 juta per day at Ktv

Not been chionging for many years, price has up so much.

Just remember one point. We don't have they're pussy we won't die but if they don't have our money they and they're family definitely won't survive for long. So guys don't spoil the market and hold on to it soon they will go back to they're usual rate. Happy boking guys!

Ya, they can charge whatever they want, it's up to the customers whether they want to pay.

The clue is very obvious for those who have visited the street opposite DC mall. Those who know will read the name of the shop all over this FR.

Service in this very good one massage place is so so only to me that day by the way. I was assigned to a not so nice looking girl . Only want to say Batam places are changing and follow Jakarta style of having package prices, I think so lah.

My hope is that price will be more affordable with more open competition as prices are displayed openly AND it will hopefully lead to lowest possible competitive pricing. Reading FR elsewhere, seems can get a massage plus HJ package in other parts of Indonesia as low as 100 to 150k per hour of massage plus HJ included. No need tips, if must tip, just give 20k. But the line up of girls is not that great.

By the way, I am no expert. I share what I think I know. Can be wrong or right.
