Tour Guide Review – Marsel – Batam
I would like to recommend a real nice fellow that I met on Batam. His name is Marsel (like the French name “Marcel”) Marsel is native Indonesian, in his mid-forties, he is very smart, open-minded, and he speaks English very well.
Marsel took me to some of the island venues around Batam, and it was a very good experience and fairly inexpensive. Marsel also told me some interesting stories about other places around Indonesia, and I will continue to use his services on future visits to Indonesia.
His complete guide details are here:

First Trip and a few questions
Hi Guys
Well it will be my first time in Batam as I plan to spend a few days in Nagoya in mid May and am really looking forward to it thanks to the excellent reports and contributions by all of you.
I will provide detail TR on my return however; I do have few questions,
I am planning on staying at the Panorama hotel, as it appears this is the best choice and will all facilities I would use and is close to NED.
I cannot see in the discussions where any one has had any trouble with bringing back a girl for an overnight stay however has anyone recently does this and if so was all OK?
In addition, it appears that the casino’s are now closed in Batam. Is this correct and if not are any close to Nagoya?
Re Viagra and Calais etc someone referred to a liquid version. Is this a pharmaceutical or a local herbal concoction?
If a pharmaceutical, where do you buy this in Batam, as I really believe I will need some?
Is there any action in Batam on Sundays ??
I am planning to have one day/one night visit in Batam, but only day I could visit there is Sunday (on July). Is it worth of visiting on Sundays? Are all the places open and are girls there?
Or is Batam worth of visiting at all nowadays?? I have never been there.

batam island, indonesia 2007
1. why this report was written?
there must be reason for everything. we men are not moving our mouth just for the hell of it, to waste air like women or poofters do. the reason for this report is to uncover more possibilities of sex for the "average western man" so that he will become more independent of meagre handouts from feminist rulers. the sooner feminism falls the sooner stupidity and empty words fall with it.
then it will be back again to men to make the rules, with feeling and intelligence and not by "good looks". hope this report helps a bit. you can fuck meat, irrespective of your age, looks, intelligence or smell. with just a very little investment.
2. why is this place worth mentioning?
batam has been a sex-tourist destination for many years for asian men from singapore, malaysia, japan, korea. surely a lot of things have changed but it still has a lot to offer and it is time you discover it for yourself. after all it's less than an hour's trip from singapore.
3. general introduction
a/ location
the place is indonesia, batam is one of central sumatra's outlying islands. namely in riau province. the area's administration centre is on nearby bintan island (also good meat).
b/ population, ethnicity
given it's size, batam is sparsely populated. development is focused mainly on a few tourist centres along the coast and some industrial areas inland. towns are separated by wast stretches of jungle and cleared land.
c/ gdp per capita compared to us + price @ mcdonald
gdp per capita $3500 as compared to the us of $ 40,000

d/ minimum price of fuck compared to us
minimum price of a fuck (varies regionally) but good quality meat (19yo, pretty, slim, good teeth) can be had for 100,000rp (usd$11)
e/ people and attitudes, language
recently indonesia received lots of bad publicity, no doubt by feminist aggressors who wish to raise antagonism among men so that they can rule. particularly the religion of islam had been blamed, since it fundamentally contradicts the feminist dogmas. however, you can be assured that all the accusations are malicious lies.
otherwise the population in batam is mostly malay origin as well as the descendents of the original minangkabau people. they are usuall extremely friendly and outgoing. official language is the indonesian, which is closely related to malay. apart from batam central and larger hotels, english is rarely spoken. however, most taxi drivers and bar staff will speak enough so you can get by.
f/ useful particulars, eg. tourist info, transport info numbers
there is no singapore-like organised tourist office. the attached map will give you a starting point. you can get better maps in singapore.
4. transport
a/ there and around
by air:
batam has a domestic airport with good connections to jakarta, denpasar, surabaya, pekanbaru and a few more cities. the airport is on the eastern part of the island. from central nagoya town a taxi will cost 60-70,000 rp.
to singapore and malaysia the connection is only by frequent ferries. departures every half an hour to singapore during daylight and less frequent to malaysia. several companies operate from several ports. the most convenient to nagoya town are either batu ampar or batam central ports. all marked on the map below.
by ferry:
to get to bintan island (also good meat-ing) you take the frequent ferries from telaga punggur terminal, near the airport (marked on map). it is just a short hop away, and a quite different experience to batam or singapore. more rural, more traditional and even exciting.
b/ particulars, airpot, bus + train station, ferry, procedures, fares
to get to batam from singapore, please consult the singapore report here:
[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=614735&postcount=2505[/url]
your most likely departure point will be from singapore's harbour town (marked ht on the map). coming by mrt train from the singapore changi airport you will have to change trains once at outram park station. however you can buy your ticket all the way from the airport. don't forget to get your $1 deposit refunded on the mrt card as you leave the station. there are also a few departures to batam from tanah merah, however tanah merah serves mostly bintan island.
your ferry ticket price varies with operator and costs around s$30 for the short trip. please note that you don't have to check your luggage in, you can carry it onboard if you wish. on fridays to batam and sundays from batam all ferries may be booked out by weekenders from singapore. bear this in mind.
local transport is only by private arrangement, either sedans or motorbikes.
this will add a lot to your bills as taxis are unmetered and charge a minimum 20,000 for the shortest trip and 50-70,000 to the ports or airport. at night you may want to hire one by the hour, 30-50,000/hr is reasonable. they hang around all hotels. for shorter trips, moto-taxis charge 5-10,000 rp.
the place is very spread out so you will need transport to go nearly anywhere, esp. at night.
5. accomodation, varieties, costs, particular hotels
some say that accomodation on batam is expensive. it is not correct. in fact if you look around, much better deals can be had than in jawa. for example, a perfectly comfortable, airconditioned room for less than 150,000 rp. just look in the side alleys, near big hotels.
harmony hotel is marked on the map. because it is in the middle of the action, surrounded by bars, massage-karaokes and many cheaper but good quality accomodation options. nearly everywhere there is 20% surcharge on weekends. also, cheap rooms will be booked out.
6. food, drink, smoke and etc.
you don't have to eat at the hotel. much tastier food is available in little shops everywhere for 5-10,000 rp a plate. beer is mostly indonesian bintang and anker for 15,000 a large bottle. smokes are cheap.
7. safety, dangers, traffic, public security, attitudes towards tourists (author's opinion)
contrary to rumours, batam is not that wild. local folks are nice enough, but better get to know the driver during the day before you hire him for the night. one area to avoid is the ghetto of jodoh, just nw of nagoya hill. there can be hassles.
8. money, exchange rates, banking + cost of fuck/basic meal compared to us, particular changers, link: currency converter
local currency is the indonesian rupiah, usd$1=roughly 9000rp. singapore dollars are accepted everywhere. for exchange rates see here: [url]http://www.xe.com/ucc/[/url]
money changers abound, especially in central nagoya but rates may vary a lot, even 20%!
cost of fuck/basic meal (such as a plate of fried rice or hamburger with chips) in batam 150,000/10000rp.=15 which is not too bad compared to the us rate of $150/5=30.
9. immigration, visa costs and terms, extensions
just like an airport, procedures are very efficient on arrival by ferry. all western nations will require to purchase an indonesian visa either for 7 days or 30 days. the 30 day visa costs usd$25 the other somewhat cheaper. if you don't have usd, they will change other currencies at totally poor rates. extension is not possible after 30 days. overstays are charged $10/day.
10. about fuck
a/ meat, available varieties, age
what is available on batam? some have said before that they are not the most attractive. possibly true. however, the deal is not too bad at rp. 300,000 for lt overnight. if you are into that, it is much better deal than even dolly in surabaya. the meat is usually older, mostly mamas.
some younger chicks may cost 100,000 more. most entertainment venues are trying to push lt overnight hires and the rate for st is either not available or not favorable 150-200,000rp. plus room another 50-90,000 for one hour. the girls are from jawa or other indonesian islands and speak little or no english, which can be good (or bad, up to you).
b/ attitudes of meat and the general public
batam is an easy going place. lots of people will try to make friends with you especially if you speak some of their language or eat at local foodshops. it can be fun but also possibly warrants some caution as you are so much richer than them. see point# 2c above.
c/ fucking places, venues, times
two basic options: either karaoke (you don't have to sing) or massage (fish bowl style). pretty straightforward, the thai style stuff that you already know. some places open as early as 2pm but it is best after 7 pm when all staff arrived. also worth to go early as the best chicks will fly out quick. some of these are around the harmony hotel. but really they are everywhere, often far-away.
best to hire a taxi a for the night and go shopping around. karaokes go by the names of: alizan, barong, horisona, lucky boy, maxim, memory and so on. there are heaps. and massage parlours just as many.
i would also mention tanjung unjang area (marked on map) for cheaper, local style meat-service and the road near batu ampar harbour for streetwalkers at night. samyong (north batam), has been famous redlight area for many years. now seems to have been closed. however, situations can change, so better ask your taxi driver about all these.
d/ fuck costs
as it was mentioned before, usually the overnight deal is preferred by the karaokes especially. 300,000 rp ($35) is really not a bad deal, about as much as in thailand or less. on top of that you will have the taxi fares plus consumption of drinks and food for the two of you. massage places either give a fixed figure for a fuck, eg 200,000rp or will charge 80,000rp for massage and you discuss the rest with the masseuse upstairs.
someone said that the best girls flock to work in singapore. it is in fact true, but in singapore the ugly girls cost the same as the pretty ones and you will pay the same for st there as for lt here. however, batam is a different experience at all.
e/ graphic description of scene
the whole place is very spread out. on foot you can only discover the immediate vicinity of your hotel. if you stay in central nagoya, you will find a few pubs and karaokes nearby. but eventually you will hop into a taxi. they are comfortable, aircon. you speed past half finished development sites, brand new residential blocks and rubbish heaps as well as jungles. and ghettoes too.
all very rough in a way, very contrasting and interesting. you arrive at a karaoke. it's dark inside. soon you will get used to it. the girls roll up one side. you choose one you like. order drinks for the two of you. then you decide if she will do for the night. if not, then on to the next one. if yes, you spend some money and you are off to a seafood dinner, dancing or even singing in a karaoke. use your imagination.
11. other things to do while there
you could do the same as i usually do: wanking all day in your room. otherwise there are pubs during the day, shopping centres, video arcades, bowling centres. surely, nagoya hill sc is the flashiest (marked on the map). there you can drool over the beautiful young chicks parading inside all day and have a wank in the restrooms. they are clean. there is also an internet lounge in the centre where you can post your experiences to isg forum.
there are also fine beaches on the island
12 final remarks + urging for action
gentlemen, i hope this gave you some idea of the things you can do and how to get there. please you also share your experiences with us and love us like your brothers. and please stop fighting and start sharing your meat with us. this is about love and acceptance. we are in the same shoes. we all must stop listening to women who want us to fight each other. see how cheap meat is? you don't have to sell your soul for it. after all, whether it talks or not it is still just meat. usually what they say has no meaning anyway.
thank you for your attention.

Anybody know of any day time action in Batam ?
Passing through Singapore (arriving at 5 AM, has to leave at 8 PM). Wondering whether it is worth making a short trip to Batam. Has to leave Batam by atleast 3 PM Batam time, to make the a/p on time for the 8 PM flight. Have been there before; but allways stayed overnight. It is also a Sunday. Are there any massage places open Sunday morning/early afternoon ?
