Not many goes to KTV in Batam,i think..hence info isnt really as updated. Nonetheless,i believe tho it isnt completely update,price difference wont be too far apart tho.

Thank you for the pricing update.

Went into the room and ordered some beer. One beer at 52k. But they got some promo now. Don't really understand Bahasa... but in summary, it's buy 4 get 2 free.

Waiter ask if we want girls. We say yes. Mami brought about 25 girls in. Some pretty ones we saw outside in the open area probably reserved by Mami for someone else - never come in.

Interesting,hehehe...i think the girls you saw was from other mamis.

As the usual case of most KTVs,one has to get to know the mamis before getting to the girls. Or,like my friend,bypass the the mamis to get to the girls...there are many ways to do that,it all depends on your creativity. Like my friends who were able to get overnight Vietnam and China girls at between 1 juta to 1.5 juta (I did mention I have done the similar before in my past summaries over a year ago too).

Just that they didnt exactly share their techniques with me in details,hehehe...

Note : Regarding the Vietnam and China girls mentioned,it may be a case of "i can get it but you may not" scene, hence I cant share too much details. My apologies.

Yes 1.5 juta to 1.7 juta is becos mami earn a bit,KTV boss earn a bit...actually in those amount the girls get is only about half of it or at times,even lesser.

This is already a clue, hehehe...

Like in Singapore,if the girls do more...they get more,but even if they dont do anything,they still spend their time "not butterflying around" just to be with you...so i think its fair to tip them depending on their service level and playability.

That's also why toward the end of the night...they become more daring,hehehe...

For the price of 350k sitting fee excluding tips, the playability is shit in this place. You would be better off going to SG VN joints. Though they butterfly... at least probably better looking and maybe got more playability and fun.

This part,i have nothing to say. When there is a language barrier,i think things can be quite difficult during communication too.

Most night club KTV system can be rather bad,even those family type too,hehehe...lack of maintenance I guess (even tho they did try to update "software" when their "hardware" failed).

Mind if i ask,how much was your total billed expenses that night?

No obligation to reply me tho.

Try this the next round,book your room early (its just a phone call away or inform the hotel reception to do that),so the mami can prepare their girls early. Get to know the mami,even the waiters there were key person that you should talk to,hehehe...dont just talk to your own girls,but with them too. Early birds also usually catch the best worms in Batam.

When i mean "talk to the key person",i actually mean to buy their heart. As to how to buy their heart,i believe you will know if you frequent KTV night clubs in Singapore.

In batam,i often play the "do-it-right-i-reward-you" game BUT not every single time so as not to let the people there know i am predictable.

You may wish to try M1 or M2 KTV the next time round but cost should be around 50% higher compared to Alishan. Anyway, KTV in batam isnt my game play,i am only sharing base on my minimum experience there,hope it can be of some help to you.
