A lot of clean massage shop on the list can give a good massage if their massage therapies REALLY wish to do so. Believe me,most of them were in one way or another well trained. The problem like i say,they have too many customers,earning by quantity of customers,hence their standard of massage tends to drop. And at times,the "dirty massage shop"'s girls would likely have done a much better job.

See,i told u my listing is useful.

Nw even u r using em.

They r made 4 those ppl who only wan to stay in 1 spot of btm,the tourist spot.

Whoah! God Help Those who helps themselves,those who give up helping themselves,even God cannot help em. If God cannot help em,u cannot help em too!!!

Jus look at the most recent post abt hidden agenda . I jus sit back,eat my pop corns & be entertained. Notice tat "troublemaker" is involved,which means all sort of nonsense will start again...LOL.

I'm taking dwn names tis time round instead.

Gd techniques used during travel goes with the amt of experience. Wat one learns frm experience smtime shws the frequency of a person's travel to a certain place. I never once hav to wait for check in to any btm hotels.

I agree w u,they do spell trouble everywhere they go. Usually look like a grp of carrot ready to be chop in btm.

In case u haven't aldy realize,the exact same kind of ppl u try to siam exist in tis forum too. I learn to spot em & siam em far far,ignoring em as much as possible. Let's not forget those who read tis thread oso travels to btm.

Your food post has been bookmarked,hehehe...actually my favorites were mostly pork. Chicken were just an alternative to pork.

Whats the meaning of Bawang? I try looking at it using google but it says it means Garlic? What so good about Garlic?

Therefore, I also endorsed the brother's blacklisting of Delta Spa in Batam.

In my personal perspective,i didnt blacklist Delta Spa. More of for myself and maybe even newbies To Avoid,especially those who didnt know what exactly they were doing upon entering a certain entertainment premises. I am sure most people who wish to buy an apple will like to 1st know how much the apple would cost before deciding if they would wish to purchase it. Most Sillypore newbies going to Batam would be too shy to turn down a not-so-good deal due to the lack of understanding of their business culture.

Anyone can still go Delta,anyone can have good or not-so-good review on that place,but for me,to have it in my to-avoid-list is just a signal to those who wish to venture there to be Wary as there could be possible "traps" that would hurt one badly if they are not careful enough.

Base on what you have shared and written,i can see that you are experience in other parts of the Indonesia cheonging scene,..knows what you are after or that if you are being taken for a ride by a certain business entity in the country. Its good to have you around to test out Batam Delta Spa and sharing how good/bad the place is.

The massage in Delta Spa isnt exactly no good,but its their business culture that they were MORE into Forcibly-hard-Selling tactics that i have to added this place into my to-avoid-list on my signature. Delta Spa Batam reminds me when my GF in Sillypore has to call me for help when she was "pulled" into the Yun Nam Hair Saloon in Sillypore for a S$20 promo deals where the sales person later refuse to let her go UNLESS she signs up for a certain few thousand dollar package. We nearly have to call the police to have the situation resolved. Not a present experience tho and i have this almost similar feeling when i am in Batam Delta Spa.

Sincerely thank you for your honest sharing.

*I have also bookmarked your FR on Delta Spa too. At least its a decently good FR with proper details which i find very much more reliable.

Crowds always spells trouble.

Avoid the weekends,go on a weekday. I dont like to rush and compete with another even on a Rest and Relax time. From the timing i eat,to the timing i pick my girl till my massage time,i am always against all odds. Thats why going to the place at the right time is very crucial to me whenever i travel to Batam. Something i am always AIMING for in my every Batam trip (even for CNY),hehehe...

It is very near HANA hotel. Less than 5 mins walk.

Hehehe...next time you found any rundown massage shop that has a Family word on their sign board,let me know.There could sometime be hidden treasures.

My motto in Batam,going for the BEST for LEAST.

I seriously don't understand how this is considered cheap coz I have eaten cheaper seafood at touristy areas in nagoya..Food quality is so-so. This is the third time I have been to MLS and all three times my three different indon gf told me its super expensive

I believe Denny will only give discount to those who quote this forum or say that they are being recommended by some people here.

I don't think that's a fair comparison...

Firstly, most of those places in Nagoya don't use live seafood, usually chilled or frozen...

Secondly, u ordered a live steamed promfret leh.. Not the usual kerapu or kakap, etc..

In any case, if u feel that Marine Live is expensive & food is so-so, why would u even bother going there 3 times...??

Friend is indeed friend. Bend over finish. Even went to the tripadvisor to promote Marine. Must open a seafood restaurant in batam and know this type of friend. Sure money fat fat in pocket.

All ah bang ah deh very fast jump to Marine defence when someone say Marine no good...lol.

Good to know you are wiser this time,remember my words to you last time,bro.

1. Dont be involved

2. Dont take sides

3. Ignore the obvious "troublemakers"

4. Dont add fuel to any argument by replying to any "out of topic" issue.

Title of the thread is Batam Info Thread,isnt it? The truth will always reveal itself over time.

Yes,take down the names,find out where it all started ,which sides they takes and you will know each and every single troublemakers involved linking to one another,hehehe...sit back,relax and just watch. Every posting reflects a character.

Hope this reminds you of the Monkey King story? To listen or not to ,its entirely your call.

I would rather choose to spend more time trying to make my Eating, Sleeping and Fucking better and better for my Batam trips.

[FreshJives]

my short FR on my last 3d2n batam trip:

stayed at hotel 18: 1 night 200k rp standard room w/o window, they also have long term stay at cheaper rate, minimum 1 month and housekeeping once a week
As some bro had aleady put some comments on the hotel earlier,eg need time for water to heat up but water is strong and may get flooded as drainage not so good.for me, is still a budget hotel, still new and good enough.. u get 20k breakfast voucher for the hotel coffeeshop...2 days also took gado gado and kopi o.lunch i will just have WTM at nearby coffeeshop, stall name is bai long in chinesei， cost 18k..hehe...just like many 顺发 or 发iXXX BKT in JB..

tried 2 massageshops，one is good one massage and the other is nice massage which is just opp hotel 18..dun like good one...reasons r 5 of us go and all din opt for special and all ended between 35 to 45 mins...my worst massage in batam..piano type..sob, always first qn ask where u from, carrot???..hehe, and not even 5 mins, ask want bonking 500k..next went to nice massge, ask to send one with good skill, never bother to see album..ended up massage was good for the whole 45 mins..before GQ..hehe
my partition room aircon is strong though is sharing (standard room at 70k per hr) wooden door..clean and atmosphere quite good...scare of those run down and many mosquito.. a early rest for first night without booking.
Next day went to gold bird (Monday) abt 1pm but choices very bad..5 or 6, cmi ( service drop???)...hehe...and finally got my usual MILF from new berry...

[iicycold]

@nono,i got yr point,bro..but i stil hav 2 qns i cn't help consulting ONLY U.

Qn 1 :

3 days, i go btm,1st day i went with a booking cewek A to an open air food store,she say the food i order is super expensive comparing to other places.

2nd day i book another cewek B & go to the same open air food store,she oso say the food i order super expensive from the store.

3rd day i again book yet another cewek C & go to the same open air food store,again she say the food i order super expensive.

Am i considered STUPID since i visited a food store that's known thrice to be super expensive? The food btw is only so so.

Qn 2 :

3 days i go btm.

During 1st day there i visit an open air food store A for dinner,there r lots of flies,after eating the food tat has lots of flies hovering around,i have no diarrhea.

On the 2nd day,i visit another open air food store B for dinner,there r lots of flies too,after eating the food tat also has lots of flies hovering around,i again have no diarrhea.

As u knw la,every open air food store in btm sure have many flies hovering around the food ma,tio boh? U got see any open air food store in btm got no flies,let me knw ok?

Continue my 3rd day,i visit yet another open air food store C for dinner,there r again lots of flies,after eating the food tat has lots of flies hovering around & wen i go back to rm,i diarrhea until cannot walk leh.

Can u help to explain Y ONLY store C's flies give me diarrhea?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bro nono,u r right on one thg u said. Seat back ,relax & enjoy the shw. Tat way i will be able to see MORE thgs MORE clearly.

I oso notice the whole scene starts w "not arguing with stupid ppl.." & "not arguing w stupid ppl.." is smwat linked to an ex president. Least expected part was the flies in food store C. Those diarrhea perceiving flies who love delta more than GRAND altanta forgot they speaks bahasa whereas most "babies" dn't.

With yr intel & reading the last 2 pages of tis thread,u shld've no prob decoding wat i say here.

I rest my case here after tis ,as it FINALLY make sense tat troublemakers in tis thread has zero credibility.
