I apologize if I will be too hard, but it is important to understand mistakes, those we did and those others did, to learn and to avoid to repeat the same in the future.

This case is clear. The taxi driver understood immediately that he was dealing with an easy prey and then started to eat and take advantage, even exploit the tourists. The wolves select and chase the small weak prey, not the big buffalo who kicks back.

Immediately when? When he took the people to another hotel instead of taking them where they requested him to go. Imagine the scene: they tell him to go to A, and he, pretending to be No.1 expert in Batam, takes them to B instead.
Tourists, instead of being firm and demanding to be taken where they indicated, and then sending him to hell paying 50k for the single ride, showed they were unsure, shy, trusting the untrustable.

That was very good for the driver. He understood he was dealing with naif people, weak in his hands, and that he could have done literally ANYTHING without they would complain.

And so he did. All the reported story is a sequence of incredible exploits. Not only he exploited the tourists, but he also went to his friends boasting how capable he is in dealing with tourists.

I am saying all this not to blame the poor guy, who was not afraid to report the bad adventure and understood he did all things wrong, but to alert people who go to Batam (anywhere in the world, actually) to not repeat similar mistakes.

By the way, nobody will ever convince me that a "supir" is needed in Batam.
Take a taxi (ojek if you are alone) only when you need it, and pay him only for the ride you really need.

Otherwise it doesnt make a difference if an OKT in Batam just ask a girl from his/her joint to drive a motorbike to go to ferry terminal to pick you up to go to your desire Hotel,hehehe...

If i have that kind of "will", i will seek a way. 1st of all things, i need to find a female taxi driver 1st (or those in that category at least, just like when i 1st started seeking Indo Chinese girls). Since these drivers were barely less than 1% of the total population of taxi drivers in Batam. And then followed by turning them into "playmate". If the female taxi driver in Batam turns out to be those you seen in Singapore, would you still wants them to be your playmate?

I get what u mean. Just like looking for social escorts. OKT also can just ask one of his cewek to double up as social escorts....keeping tamu company, sightseeing etc etc and charge tamu premium.

As for sillypore female taxi driver, no lah. I would stay far away.. I rather go for Batam or Indon cewek supirs.

In my years of cheonging, i only experienced once i.e. at T Pinang. Tat was first and last. We learnt from mistakes. Those days no sbf...year 1997. Driver bastard at the jetty gate really took us for a ride. 1st nite we already knew we carrot head by him. Recommended us a hotel but in actual fact was a budget wisma without aircond. S$40 a nite. Even girls he also short change us. So wat we did was early next morning, we secretly checked out from tat wisma and we hailed a taxi and checked into another hotel..Pelangi hotel. Since we are newbie, we used the hotel driver. Hotel manager also nice guy. At least we felt safe and its a 2 star hotel but clean with aircond. Subsequent trips we were on our own leow...

Fully agreed...

They always boast about how they bring their "carot head" tamu to their chopper shop.

Its a video file converted to Gif file. Most bigger brand higher end newer mobile phone has that function (but i dont like using mobile apps).

Try this :

There are many of such online. So you may wish to do a search to find the most suitable.

The only setback is, the video is at times needs to be short, coversion takes a bit of time. I believe no one would wants to covert a very long video file into gif becos the file would be too big to be upload then. Gif file that are oversize tends to lag a website loading too. If the video file is big, i would usually download it into my computer, cut it to piece/s to the parts i need most before doing the conversion.

IT stuffs are like that, when i cant work straight to it, i work around it. Just like how i travel to Batam. The girls not good nevermind, teach/guide them to become good...hehehe...a particular joint no good nevermind, help to make it a good enough place that best suit myself. Same applies for Batam hotel/s too.

I change the environment to suit myself, or at least i tried...hehehe...

This is the 1st time i ordered Grab Food online in Batam on my own w/o knowing their language and w/o having to download the apps into my mobile phone. I did that on my PC/laptop.

I will need 2 things on hand tho :

a) an Indo sim card on my mobile phone (cost about 50k rupiah from Indosat which i tested on)

b) a valid email or simply just create one.

Go to this Grab website :

https://food.grab.com/id/en/restaura...%20Kue%20Ba o

Resister an account with them using my indo mobile number and email address. There will be some verification code or something send via email and/or mobile phone. Simply just log in thereafter ,search and order. They even have a GPS map (and an approximate time of arrival) to show me where the driver is , hence i roughly would know what time to head to hotel lobby to pick up my food.

So now, i have most of the better food Batam right within my fingers,hehehe...at the same time, bros who dont know bahasa can also order Grab Food into their hotel too.

Enjoy Batam, enjoy Batam's good food,enjoy its everything and not forgetting the girls too.

l.

I think I saw them at the ferry terminal when they were departing Singapore.

I went to the Aiko Spot massage beside the petrol kiosk opposite BCS mentioned by bro Nono and got a girl at 18 years old. The price is 145k for 1.5hr. The counter offers 20% discount while i told them it should be 30% as stated on their poster during happy hours then she adjusted it.


This is the room rate mentioned by bro Nono.

Guys pls help to advise him. I think he genuinely require medical treatment. Treating aches is very different from treating pain, dun anyhow throw contacts.
