Anyone going to Batam thinking to find another Bangkok is completely out of reality!

I go to Batam for never less than 5 days, usually 8D7N, and I fuck 1 or 2 girls per day. The limit is my physical capacity, not the environment supply.
Batam is like a candy shop for me. The opportunities to find girls are endless.

Yet, the NED is the last place where I would go to spend my time.
The only exception was No Name, which was one of my favourite places, but in the last 2 years it went terribly down.

The massage places are also terribly run down. Went to Hallo Kitty massage earlier: the floor was super duper slippery from the oil, I didn’t dare to move much in the bathtub.

The shopping is great though.

like i said lor go batam must go without expectations de. you start comparing with the other playgrounds. then batam is fairly disappointing.

Search my past reports mentioning No Name in the last two years.
Regrettably, it's DEAD. The times that Friday and Saturday were full of lonely ladies happy to meet a man for the night are GONE.
Now, only few old veteran PRs (working girls).

PS: Few months ago Pacific was closed for good! Gone, regrettably. Did it reopen, or your memories are dated and are from some years ago?

Will take a look at the booking joints today. It seems that wechat n badoo are still a better way to meet girls

The last time i was there (nearly about 3 years ago), no one checks on me and my girls. There were like nearly 20 of us, and more than 10 were girls. I am not sure if they were checked tho (i will ask them the next time i see them).

Perhaps the time you were there and the time i was there were on different parts of the year.

Sincerely thank you for sharing.

Turning cash to properties is a good choice, but how fast would one be able to switch their property back into cash is another issue altogether. It really depends on many factors, eg. Age, Savings, Purpose of purchase etc.

In the case of Batam, i do not have plans to sell nor to make money out of it hence i dont see i would need to use what i bought in Batam for emergency needs as my reserves were in my Singapore assets.

This one sounds familiar to me. I have been hearing a lot of this since a very long time ago,hehehe...

And best still if you can take in third world living in messy infrastructure and dealing with corrupted officials.

If all sounds oke, you are good to go. If not, at least leave one small properties behind in Singapore, just in case.....

Good advise, and i completely agreed with it.

I agreed becos i am already at it before you said it all. Still, i wouldnt have spell it out better in a post, hence i thank you.

Hehehe...i started off (1st visit to Batam) with my wish to leave Singapore during CNY every single year hence i started recce-ing Batam (following my uncle's footstep who resides in Tanjong Pinang today). Initially i wish to go to HCM (if you still remember) but well, after reading about HCM during CNY, and it being a longer distance away, i drop the idea.

A year or 2 later as i age, retirement comes to mind. Followed by sustainability ,and then planning a longer term stay on the island. My summaries, the guides, Food list, Batam Info vault...all evolve around that Big Plan,hehehe...which i might later call it, my final destination.

Just sharing...

Same here, i hope for Batam's improvement but not into cities like Singapore. To me, it "soul" of Batam itself is gone once they turned that way. Will life improve for the people of Indonesia Batam if they turned into another like of Singapore? I highly doubt so..

To me, Batam is like 15 to 20 years of Singapore (maybe even further). Its more like living in the 90s in Singapore.

Sounds like a pretty good deal on posted date, may i ask for the date you exchange and the location of the shop? I work in that area, hence if rates were good at that certain shop, i can drop by there often before i head to Batam.

Thank you.

S$8.50? I thought i saw just outside Harbour Bay Ferry terminal (arrival hall), shops were selling sim cards at 50k rupiah a day for unlimited usage (i cant really remember if its unlimited tho) but definitely for a day usage only. Most people travel to Batam for at least 2D1N, so i think its like not wise to pay the S$17 deal offered by Horizon Ferry.

So for those who didnt know and/or only those who dont frequent Batam often might try this offer from Horizon tho.

I used a usb mobile routing wifi (Smartfren Andromax/Telkomsel Airtel with 50k/60k top up a month) and/or a 100k rupiah sim card for data that last one month tho.

AndroMax :

Telkomsel Airtel :

That is of course, when i am travelling to Batam on a regular basis. Can be use together with 99 other person, if i dont remember wrong,hehehe...

The one that cost S$8.50/day by Horizon, i think their targeted customers were for 1st time Batam travelers or those who dont travel to Batam regularly.

Its definitely a good deal. Any price S$40 and below is a good deal for Horizon ferry ticket is a good deal,i understand that those orange tickets would come easy and offer wont last for long, hence i am also thinking of slowly converting the orange ticket to the white/blue original ones,hehehe...meaning iam planning on converting expiring 30th June 2019 expiring tickets to those expiring 2020.

Think far...think ahead,hehehe... just a small thought and working on it.
