If one day you decide to want to book those from CC,please please please take good care of your personal belonging,valuables etc etc.
Be vigilant over your own stuffs,always wear a condom and bargain down.
Cheers!
noted on the belongings and valuables part..this is most wary of...which is why i dun go for wechat girls..just dun wanna take the risk.
First day tried the aroma therapy at nagoya spa and massge, cost is $30 for 2 hrs, the massage is not bad but i still prefer foot reflex or neck/shoulder more than whole body massage..dunno why...
As for the stay at CC;
not to mentioned abt breakfast, simply just fried rice, noodle, eggs and bread...and btw my room (superior) do have window...staffs are friendly, and drawback are the power outlets is not by bed side (i got 2 phones, 1 tablet and 1 battery pack, at least 1 beside is good enough) and i realize that i need a fridge to put my stocks(isotonic drinks)...weather is hot and also the haze..
Next trip, i might try delta spa and also the sport massage (can enlighten me on the price and also the exact location of sport massage, tks in advance) and most places i travel by foot, only engage taxi to and from terminal to nagoya and vice visa. CC hotel is near formasa as everyone know, so walking to goldbird or utama area or new berry is not far..but if peniun wet market or A2, i might need to take ojek/taxi...
STill pending on which hotel to stay, looking at $25 to $40/day...eg. hana, BIZ(stay once, got minibar and spread of BF is better than CC and hans Inn and also i like to go to the kpt next to it, main reasons are clean, nice epok epok and windy), or some hotels with in house massage as i am die hard for good massage, any hotel recommendation?? hahaha...
Biz is still my favourite,the in house massage also not bad .

23. Then there is Titanium Night Club,new in Batam that started end of 2014.
24. Batam Fresh Beer,if anyone wish to try out their locally brewed beer.
25. There is this Morena Club and KTV that are also new (2014) but are subject to be closed by Batam authority.
26. For newbie,try to avoid asking questions w/o 1st searching this thread. Below is a guide to help you search this thread. Believe me,you will understand more when you do a search and try to find out things yourself 1st before questioning.
27. Here we have,info of another massage place name Princess Massage.
28. Information in my suitcase involving myself,if you are newbie/1st time Batam traveller who might one day wish to tag along with me on any of my trips,please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions and later my latest itinerary to avoid any misunderstanding.
34. IMPORTANT : Always be EXTRA careful when you take FLs from disco/pub/night club or girls from Wechat/Watsapp/Online etc when you are still not familiar with the Batam scene,carelessness (or a single time bad luck) may result in you NOT able to return to your home safely. You may be FRAME into some drug issues by your girl. Drug-related offences in Indonesia carries a maximum sentence of a death penalty.
35. Well,this one may be bit out of topic,but its in my suitcase and in case anyone wish to visit Tg Balai ,i have kept a record of a senior bro's Balai Walk Through Guide for my future reference in case one day i am done at Batam and wish to visit Balai.
Lastly,the above listed information are my personal Information vault which i check back from time to time,not 100% of them are here yet but it should be sufficient enough to help most newbies get by Batam. I always emphasis,Batam is a place where one can travel alone,no need for another person to bring you along. But if you REALLY have problem,try reading my Batam Newbie Walk-Through Guide,which is written in a psychological state of mind when i am a noob/newbie, and it is designed to be like a RPG game guide book. So just treat Batam like a RPG World and step into this whole new World of Wonder to explore its treasures. If you know how to go to Sentosa island alone in Sillypore,Batam will be like a walk in the park.You dont even need to understand Bahasa Indonesia/Malay to travel there (knowing of course will be an advantage),you mainly need to understand the language i am writing here & have with you your 2 hands/10 fingers for communication. Do be humble,be nice & considerate.And bring your whatever expectation you have on Batam down by half and you will be smooth sailing at Batam.
If you have more questions on Batam,feel free to post it in this thread or you may just PM me. Please dont PM stupid question/s like what is HJ/FJ/BBBJ etc. I received quite a few such questions and i totally ignore them w/o even finishing their PM content.
Sports Massage is opposite McDonald's, along the same side of Goodway Hotel. Price is also about 240k for 1.5 or 2 hours (can't really recall as I usually go IndoThai near BCS Mall).

I think Sports Massage also got quite a few branches...price should be around about S$25 for 1.5 hr and S$30 for 2 hrs when i pop in the one beside Good way hotel block in 2014. I never try cos the price shocked me that time,hehehe... (i stingy ma,some more knowing this place die die wont provide special..lol)
If you plan to try Indo Thai Massage,remember dont pay by Sin$ (use Indo Rupiah instead). The rate was like a year+ ago rate on their massage menu.
Enjoy!
(actually if you try Indo Thai,you can compare with Nagoya Spa and Massage to see which one is better,i tried both before and find them comparable)
Got 10300 for the last 2 days. . And it's above the online rate of 102XX.
They took the rate for the last closing time from their Indo bank?

I am guessing this will go on till Nov 2015.

Thats Black Page favourite Mami (the non-Chinese mami),from Happy 8 who move to Bunga which used to be a banned joint called Massage 28.
She has been there for quite a while already. A very nice lady with white hair.

You forgot Happy 8 too.
The reason/s for the many leftovers would be more interesting.
Girls from Happy 8 were their own girls.
Girls from Bunga were mostly from other joints (like Permata,Gold Bird,New Berry etc) who finished their contract. A greener pasture for the girls with less business becos places like Permata,New Berry and Gold Bird prefers new blood rather than keeping those whose contract were already over. (unless the girls has a strong clientel of customers w/o much complains)
Girls from Permata Indah were of their own,kept most of them for the night time KTVs if not booked during the days.

MM and Indah2 girls swapped around. Carrot chopping are for those who dont bargain at all (or fail to bargain).

Congratulation!!
Thats from one OKT,check their other OKTs too.
(hehehe...clever!)
You should also check out Hawaii next round if time permits.
tks bros, will sure try the Sports Massage and as for Indo thai, is there another branch next to spa secret near nagoya hill mall, if is that so, i will just take the free shuttle from BIZ and try this out instead of the one at BCS...and noted to pay in RP. hehehe..
AS this coming trip is 1 N, so most likely will have dinner at the restaurant (top up card require)with the romantic atmosphere nearby or marine live seafood and after dinner, may just patron the pub nearby with 2 gigantic outdoor projector's screens showing sport channel...
