Prices at booking (massage) joints vary from IDR 800 K to 1. 4 mn. Do not be shy to negotiate.
Freelance girls from discos (not recommended for newbies) can range from ZERO to IDR 1 mn, sometimes even more.
WeChat / Tinder / Badoo hookups for ST should never be more than IDR 400-500 K.

Posts: 7Girl pricing.
Hi all,
I'm going to Batam next month, this is my first time to go there. Can anyone tell me what's the girl pricing (all night) out there now?
Girls from clubs, pubs etc.
And any recommendations for newbies?
Thanks.

Posts: 2510Responses to a PM.
I received some questions from a senior ISG member, who has posted quite a bit here. I thought to share my response in public, as it may be useful to others too.

Your model is not what I have seen in Batam. If you go at 2pm (which is the best time, as most girl have just started to work, after the night before spent in someone's bed), and if you book the girl at that time, the girl is expected to stay with you FROM THAT TIME TILL NEXT MORNING. Too boring for me. However, you can agree with the mami to send the girl to your hotel at the time you prefer, even at 8pm.

Only short time, because I really get bored with a girl in my room for all the day and night (even if such a girl would be just a DREAM when I am in my home country). I prefer to be free as a bird, have a short time if I am really horny daytime, and go to disco to see what Destiny gives me. I don't get back to room with a girl before 4 am.
For ST, besides the standard booking joints, you might consider the spas (Delta, Octopus, Atalanta.) and the low-end massage places in Utama area.

NoName is my major disappointment. Empty, and even on Saturday no girls who were not local PRs or veteran bar girls.

If you want massage with extras, and IF YOU HAVE MANY DAYS on site, try the Utama area for the cheap ones. Some good girls work there, but you cannot choose from a book. They will send you a girl and, if you like her, you can ask her some extras during massage. Places are mostly run down, yet not dirty holes.
Try Octopus or Atalanta. Ask for the PAKET (package) which means full service. Be sure to talk with the GRO (they all speak English). Total damage at Octopus for a Gold or Platinum girl category is nearly 1 M. You'll get good massage and sex, but don't expect anything that is not codified in the procedure. (even CBJ).

Years ago it could have been a problem, but today with Google Maps it's impossible to get lost. You don't have a local SIM card to get Internet access in Batam? TOO BAD. Internet is NECESSARY, if not for Google Maps at least to stay in touch 24/24 with the local girls (after few days, you'll have your 2-3 good ones, plus occasional time-wasting ones). Today, everyone has WhatsApp or Messenger. Only the poorest ones do not have a smart phone. Some has a GSM, so be prepared to have a local SIM card also to call or SMS them.
However, even without Internet access, you can download in advance an offline map and you'll be set (except that offline Maps cannot compute the shortest walk path).
From Harmoni Suites to Kampung Bule (the NED) it may be 10 minutes walking. At night it's not even hot. If you don't want to walk, take an ojek. 15 k includes a tip.
Harmoni Suites is in front of the Windsor food court, a good place to eat and chat with beer girls. A cheaper but good hotel there is the Vienna.
Best hotel is maybe I-Hotel. One is behind Nagoya Hill, another in Penuin (10 minutes walk from Harmoni Suites, 20 from NED, but better take an ojek, as the road is dusty).
I-Hotel Penuin hosts SQUARE, the highest-class disco-bar in Batam, the top night destination in Batam nowadays. The high-society goes there. I never had good chance there, as the local girls go there with their VERY HANDSOME boyfriends, and in general are not interested to flirt with white foreigners. I regret the old times of NoName. There are some PRs working there, very elegant and good looking, but they expect lots of money, if they accept to follow you to hotel (even 1 M-2 M, and not overnight).

If you have many days to spend in Batam, and if you don't speak any bahasa, I think it's the only place where you could go at night. All the expats living in Batam go there (mainly Aussies).
Beers are cheap, even if offered to girls. So, don't worry. Just ask the price before, to avoid surprises (maybe they could smell the newbie to exploit).
My places at night are exclusively pubs like Square and NoName, and if I don't meet anyone special (100% of the times on my last two stays, that is I met only veteran PR who WORK there, or local girls who are not interested to flirt with foreigners), I go straight to P3 or P2 (Newton) discos. Discos are NOT for the first-timer.

Is Ramadan in Batam really a "NO-NO, NEVER"? Not really. It can be a good time, but you must know how to move around, how to avoid pitfalls, exploit opportunities. Less people around may mean also more gaps to fill.
To have a glimpse of what is possible in Batam, see my three series of reports from those periods:

Yes, dated a few years back, but I have been there 2 times since last December and honestly not much has changed (except that NoName now is almost dead). The environment is still the same. I did not stop visiting Batam, but I stopped writing those long reports in "adventure style", as it is extremely time-consuming and I am not sure why should I. It is fun to read my reports after 5 years, yes.
Would you expect to do the same as I reported? NO. Not necessarily. YMMV. First thing that may help is to speak some bahasa. Then gathering experience. Your 5th visit will be incomparably more successful than your first one.

I stay at Formosa, because it's much cheaper, staff says hello and addresses me by name, and the bed is sized for 3.

Ramadan starts on 15 May, which makes the 01 June weekend the midpoint of the holy month of fasting. And it ends on 15 June. Usually, everything (absolutely everything) that is considered entertainment is shut in the first 2-3 days, middle 2-3 days and last 2-3 days of this Ramadan month. So that weekend of 01 June that you are planning might turn out to be a complete non-starter.
