Thanks man but dun think i can go over this weekend as gotta work on sat.I will pm u my taxi driver num k?He's a nice guy speak pretty good english.Of cos he does take commission when he bring u to the joints,we openly talk abt that but hes very patient,will make sure u find something u like & he even wait for me at the disco,dining,fish tank(short time go no commision for him) to finish my business for a few hrs.I called him to pick me up everyday at the hotel whenever i need to head out.He usually nv nego abt the price with me & say watever up to me how much i want to give him.Good attitude!But of cos i pay him well la dun like to take advantage of nice ppl.overall i should say hes the nicest taxi man i met in batam unlike some who is always pushy & got motive to squezze some $$ from u.

Hope u enjoy ur trip & rem to write fr!
Any bros who need this nice taxi driver contact can also pm me.

Happy cheonging,cheers

Now, if I were just to engage the taxi from the jetty as my driver for my 3D2N trips. Just wondering wats the most comfortable tips I should give him considering the following commission hes already earned:

1. From the hotel one check-in

2. From the KTV joint one booked ceweks from

3. From the Seafood Restaurant one patronise

Of course it depend on individual as to how much tips be given. But I personally tipped my driver @Rp100K on top of buying him cigarattes and makan.

Any bros care to share....lau chiao and newbies...

Well that also depands on how big is the group, meaning how many girls you guys booked and also how much you spent on Seafood and that's how much he made on the side.
But overall, total 3D2N income (including side com) for a good service driver, I would say should be in fair range of Rp.300k?

GOODWAY has Tai ji massage down stairs. But there are 2 more joints near this hotel. Bahari Massage comfirm no speical. lau kway bus. Abi massage, 10 metres away has special. But lau kway bu also. It is beside the hotel 81 that is next to hotel good way.

Or you want, try putri gardens. They have a massage centre and spa downstairs. Yes, they have specials. Can call them to your room for service.

Hope these helps. I am a massage-cum FJ/HJ lover person. So I dono about the KTV ones..

think got more than 5 years never go batam laio. still remember when PSA just open and i was there. So shiok the place is new and nice. got a speical massage too.
Beside PSA,Putri Garden and Alantic and more massage centre for speical?
