Nice Pub for drink and music can try kampong bule

Yes nearby bro, can contact our driver jojo

public service announcement:

don't eat the bak kut teh from the corner store at a2 food court. had the pork mee sua with mixed parts, the liver was too raw and unsurprisingly i ended up with food poisoning.

i think even the roadside stalls might have better hygiene.

Just returned from my batam trip on 24 & 25 feb..

Started the day with bkt at A1 foodcourt, taste fine. Finally get to drink my fav teh botoh at 6k idr per bottle.

Had a haircut at a barbershop nearby, which is my favourite haunt soo far (based on my previous few trips within these few months). Great service, total package at 110k.

Took up 4 hands massage at one of the massage shops opposite BCS, 2 hours at 430k idr (dirt cheap compared to SG). Got lucky and ladies offered tarma HJ while my friends did not encounter anything extra.

We booked ladies from HK (ranging 1.7 jt to 1.9 idr), we requested for them to come over at 4pm directly to our hotel. Paid the driver upon arrival and brought the ladies back to our room and the rest was as usual.

Ladies service were fine, my friend hit the jackpot and got much much much more for what he paid for. All ladies left the following day.

We had dinner at Nagoya foodcourt at a stall called 999 seafood, total of 9 dishes + drinks and beer (total of 1.3jt idr), food was great. The place was crowded and environmental was nice.

Had a western meal at Grand batam mall b1, did a little shopping before heading back to SG.

Overall a satisfying trip, but i guess I'll opt out of overnight the next time round.

Interesting piece of information on A1 food court and 600 IDR teh botoh (which is about S$0.06).

Ahh...then i i think i know which hotel they are referring to already.

Thank you for sharing.

I see.

Perhaps next time i can staying there too.

Thank you for clarifying.

I guess they probably feel the same as you, when they (the girls) took pictures and video of you during sex and then share them on Bigo Live and/or other social media, hehehe....

(no offence intended)

For me, if i were to share those photos in public media, i will try to avoid sharing with their facial expression (censoring off their face etc). Keep in mind that prostitution is still NOT legal in Indonesia.

It is one of the reason why i appreciate and respect for bro lurpsexx's sharing of his FRs whenever he shared those photos of the girls he bang (be it in this Batam thread or in others).

Out of basic respect, i would ask them (the girls) for permission 1st...yes, even tho their photos can already be found on the social media (a small tip will likely be well-appreciated).

Over the last 10 years in Batam, i have known MANY MANY senior bros here in this thread/forum took and collects those nude photos and videos, hehehe...but i do not see them sharing them in this thread (me too).

To each his own tho.

Telkomsel has the best coverage in Indoneisa.

100k rupiah is about S$8.90 if the exchange rate is around 11200/SGD.

Any moneychanger except entrance area of Ferry terminals, entrance area of major shopping malls and Airports.

Best place to change money is when you see more than 2 money changer shops nearby which were about 30 secs walk to each other, and then walk in to ask for their exchange rate.

Money changer information (as well as others) i compiled is at the below link :

https://sammyboyforum.fun/showthread.ph...r#post21887161

Note : the money changer at Harbour Bay mention on the above link NO LONGER offers as good a rate as before but is still the best rate around Harbour Bay area (problem is the walk took 10+ mins).

Nowaday i change my money at Grand Batam Mall basement. There is only one money changer there.

Avoid being "penis-wise" (and a pound stupid) and go take a taxi to the so-called best money changer to change money. I also need to factor in taxi fare over the difference in money changed on those shops versus time convenience too.
