Thank you bro.

I think I have explained that in the beginning of this thread before,there should be a few reasons :

1. 弱者報仇，強者寬恕，智者忘懷 - It start off with me being weak and lesser intelligent but later become stronger and more intelligent. I was new to the forum,i wish to go to Batam,i was ask to read the old thread from page one,my heart and mind becomes inbalance after reading it 4 times,so I tell myself I wish to avenge fate. (so that new readers need NOT have to read all pages of the old thread)

For those who wish to try reading,below is page one of the old thread :

https://thesbf.shop/showthread.php?t=66580

...and there are 2298 pages. This new one only has 300+ pages,hehehe...

However it is only at a later time when I stand at where I am standing here today, did I realize why many seniors send newbies to read page one of the old thread.

2. Its like my travel diary or kind of like a record book where I keep a record of stuffs...the good and the bad,it helps to know where I can enjoy Batam better and what to avoid. Best part is,it helps me to prevent repeated mistakes too. I looked back my summaries of yesteryears and have a good laugh...my stupidity, my wins, my enjoyment etc etc.

I couldn't remember all places of Batam,but the least I could do is to have them recorded down.

3. I am a regimental person, and much often 'expect' consistency in myself and as a customer in Batam.

I've brought dildos, vibes, butt plugs, sex pantries to Batam n pass thru their x-ray w/o any issues.

Is it? Thats good news. Unlike at balai CB custom officers even told us to remove our footwears. I have not been to batam past 6 yrs. So not sure hw the authorities done their security job.

Tks for the info.

Remove footwears?
Batam too. When the custom suspect terrorism activity in the island.
Maybe balai too?

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

Thank you Hawkeye. Tipping encourage in this joint?

[tomcat007]

Tipping is always encouraged at any joint. Don't believe? Just ask the cewe who served you. :P

I believe Tomcat has already replied you.

I don't mind a tip if you have found my FR useful.

I was out of reach for a while and I could not check the forum for just few days.
The number of posts I missed and I should scroll back is impressive LOL

need some advice as this would be my only 3rd trip after 1+ years of absence from batam. think my things had changed

1. are there any extreme price increase for booking from joint during Christmas period?

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?

thank you.

Let me try and help you out on some of the questions:

1. Although I don't chiong booking joints anymore, I believe that there's no extreme price increase vs normal days. Even if have increase, maybe at most 100-200k? Maybe other bros can comment

2. Yes, you can go KTV alone. Some KTVs (eg Alisan) have a main hall that you can sit in so that you don't have to get a room by yourself. If you are there just to get a cewek for overnight booking, also can. Just tell the mummy and she'll arrange for you to view all the ceweks that are available for overnight booking

3. Other avenues for booking include:
- FLs in WeChat (not very recommended for newbies, book at your own risk)
- FLs In discos like Pasifik, Newton, HH (again, book at your own risk & beware of scams)
- FLs in pubs like Noname or those in Kampung Bule (book at own risk)

4. Please refer to any of Nono1973's posts and click on his signature

5. I am not qualified to answer this question, will need other bros to comment.

Some important reminders for you:

1. Book your hotel room if you have not already done so. You are going during the Xmas period, expect hordes of Singaporeans & Malaysians to descend upon Batam

2. Likewise on your return ticket. Just because you have your ticket stub doesn't mean you are guaranteed a seat on the ferry on 26 Dec. Once u arrive in Batam on 22 Dec, go get your return ferry ticket immediately at the ferry terminal.

Hope u have a fruitful trip and if have time, share FR
