Language barrier is not a key problem to buying/owning a business, and subsequently having it to flourish. The key point is one has to practically be based in Batam, for quite a few real reasons too lengthy to type. If you dun have such inclination, and you dun have someone there you can really trust to run the business, or dun have money that must be considered as "extra-change to throw at the casino", it is not a prudent, albeit very attractive, fleeting thought.

I choose for you to "seek" rather than i "feed". I direct you to the answers rather than post the direct answers. Faster and more efficient that way since you are the one asking.

After the above 3 links,go to my signature links.

All links there will ultimately lead you here. The rest before reaching here were the details.

A small advise,baby step a time,do not be overly ambitious if you plan to try to "understand".

And you are welcome.

Side note to no one : Realize i am able to find answer pretty fast in this forum w/o the need to repeat the same answer over and over,hehehe...took me less than 3 mins this time. Thats one of my purpose to consolidate most information and archive them for my later use. All info in this thread are almost within my finger tips now...ALMOST...

(a detail answer cost me more than an hour the last time i created one,so i arent repeating it)

Wow
Thanks a ton bro

Just one more question. The hotel rates today are nearly half from last time maybe coz its Sunday check in.
Will it be difficult to find a decent girl today ?
Also do the base price of girls also gets reduced due to less takers tonite..
Just asking so I knw the leverage to bargain

Last time I did not .. And I knew I paid too much later

Last week my first time to Batam in my life. I followed Bro Nono's SOP (密集) and went to Kaha Travel first to book before gg to Formosa.

Just sharing some of the photos for the places I went last week:

1) Watch Movie at Nagoya Hill

2) An amusement park for kids near Formosa

3) 咸酸甜 tit-bits shop near Formosa

4) Rezeki Seafood Restaurant exterior scenary

Espada · #**32843** 04-10-2015, 01:16 PM

5) Rezeki Seafood Restaurant interior

6) Rezeki Seafood Restaurant price list

7) Rezeki Seafood Restaurant food I eaten (1 Grouper and 1 crab, Total cost = S$60)

8) Taxi price list to / from Formosa Hotel (They said I can call Formosa Hotel to fetch us from Terminal and the taxi driver will indicate our name and hold it in a sign board outside of the Harbour). I took the cab from Formosa to Rezeki, based on the rate, I was quoted $120k to Rezeki at Batu Besar and $120k back to Hotel, plus waiting time $20k, total $260k).

Since you are already in Batam. I shall prioritize my reply for you 1st.

No,the base price of girls wont be reduced even if there are no takers tonight or any other nights. I am saying assuming you understand the meaning of the joint's base price and not the marked up price. As i have say sometime ago,there is an opening hour and a closing hour for booking joints.

Read the below link after you click on the Spoiler Button :

https://samsforum.com/showpost.p...ostcount=30207

Girls,young as in SYT or SSYT. If they arent being booked after shop closed,where would most of them be? Dont forget they are young,full of energy etc etc. Thats where you can get them at half the price bypassing the OKT and joints. Then again you run the risk of theft,drugs and other possibilities that may make your trip unpleasant. It can be a 1 in a thousand chance,but what if i am that ONE? Anyway,this part i always leave to each of his own. I was never a victim of such occurrence before since my day 1 in Batam but still i picked my choice of not even wanting to have that 1 in that a thousand chance (or even if its 1 in 10 thousand).

You want the leverage of bargaining? Try after 145pm indo time to visit booking joints on Sundays.Thats where you see the most girls. But i need to say this in advance,as it is the beginning of the month and the 1st weekend where Batam is MOST crowded with horny dicks,leverage may not be as good as the Sunday ,27th Sept 2015 (last sun). If you plan to walk and reach joints w/o a taxi,your bargaining chips are higher.

The Batam newbie cheongster carrot choppers are :

1. Happy 8
2. Indah2
3. MM
4. Bunga

Ranked not in sequence.

Safer haven are (not 100% safe when i say this hor,in case someone read between lines) :

1. Gold Bird
2. New berry
3. Bunga
4. Permata Indah

Unknown status :

1. Hawaii karaoke diagonally behind S Hotel block,will take about 5 mins walk as the block is really big. (its called Dolly or Shellina salon the last time)
2. Blue Moon (behind Harmony Hotel)

Joints i skip cos very little girls (3 to 5 girls at max,all MILFs,waste time to even step in) :

1. Orchid
2. Memory

Banned Joints :

1. All Morena series of joints.

Always at least TRY to bargain in ALL booking joints,especially Happy 8,Bunga,MM and Indah2. Weekend usually not easy to bring price down but one should at least open their mouth to ask for a better price.Its the Indo business culture. Have take,dont have also no choice. Hard to find 600k girls in Batam on weekends,but 700k-800k should not be too difficult. Lower your expectation.

The rest would be your luck. Its afterall a weekend.

Cheers!

* its 1230pm indo time,hope i am not too late in my reply.

Indonesia’s Prepaid SIM Card

Before i arrive at Batam last week, I was told to buy the following prepaid SIM card with 3GB Internet and 25 minutes local talktime.

While chatting with the shop asst at the terminal, I saw many other brands of cards, I asked how long does the above card last. I was told that it only last 1 month. I asked which ones last longer and she told me one green cover one that last 1 year but the internet is slowest. Then I ask which one has the longest duration and fastest internet (because I need to use Google Maps to wander around Batam), the assistant told me the below last 2 months and has the fastest internet speed. When I try it out, indeed it has fast internet speed and my Google Maps respond quite fast. So I bought it.

Where is the shop?
