I really did try my very BEST to bargain down to 100k hj and 200k FJ at Kings (which is suppose to be Batam market price for the local indos) but failed everytime. The best i could down the price to is 150k hj and 300k fj,excluding the massage price. Nowaday,i just only go there for their massage or foot reflexology and when they pop the golden question,i will tell them 100k or no go. And all the time,its a no go...lol.

Anyway,i find that its much easier to bargain in the early morning in Batam,especially when i am being the shop's 1st customer. No one likes to lose their 1st customer deal of the day,hehehe....part of my bargaining mind game.

I share the same thoughts too,i thought Government tax and service charge are suppose to be 10% + 11% in Batam at most time and wondering how the 25% comes about.

Thanks you for the heads up,bro. I believe i will one day need to try out this place at least once to see how the massage goes as i have heard the quality of massage seems quite good. Kind of hoping for a better quality massage than their special service.
