There will almost be bound to have at least one OKT in each joint that speaks Chinese or some form of hokkien/teochew.

2 mamis,one can only speak indo,a very straight forward lady.The other can speak Hokkien,Chinese,Indo and English,this is the one that will carrot chop and mark up even higher price. The papi who does not speak Chinese/English however is a better man to deal with from my perspective.

You pick the girl,she will describe to you,you dont take,she may be a bit black faced,hehehe...i still prefer to deal with this mami than their papi there. To each its own.

2 male OKTs that can speak Chinese there. One straight forward type that you will rarely get a chance to bargain,the other one is the more popular plump guy with sleepy eyes. 2 other Indo man OKT there that dont speak Chinese/English.

Your timing should be alright,be it Indo time or Sin time. But please keep Permata Indah for your last station to visit as they open latest among all the joint you mentioned at around 1pm indo time. However,not a problem if you arrive between 1230pm to 1245pm indo time. Just lesser girls.

You may choose to revisit this Permata Indah again for a 2nd time on the same day.

Since you will be there for 2 nights,it should not be a problem to revisit at different times so as to see a more complete range of girls available the next following day. Of course if the girl you pick is good,just extend her.

As mentioned earlier,you are going to Batam on a super ultra peak,it really doesnt matter if you go with taxi or not at this point of the season becos it is almost impossible to bargain down in most joints. Most of their pricing will be fixed and their attitude will likely be "take it or leave it".

Example : 1 girl in New Berry that is priced at 600k,will likely cost 1 million rupiah. A 800k girl will be at 1.2 million rupiah. With or w/o taxi driver,you will still be paying THAT price. My point is,i will choose to go with taxi driver instead. However, do try to bargain but highly unlikely the OKTs of the joints will back down as they know if you dont take at that price,others will. So dont get too upset to the extend it spoils your mood if you cannot bring the price down.Its normal during this season. All booking joints at most time will be emptied out (of girls) by the end of their day/s during a super ultra peak season.And these OKTs knew that too. (note : if you can still find girl/s or if a joint still have some leftovers by sunset,be "extra extra" wary if you decide to take them)

My above example/s was only applicable for super ultra peak season in Batam. Under normal days,where the market favors the customers,i will definitely bargain hard enough with or w/o taxi,hehehe...and dont forget to get their namecard too. Not that getting the namecard will be any helpful during a super ultra peak season since practically no OKT will pick up calls from unknown numbers or anyone will likely be picking up the call in the joint's counter.

Check with the OKT if the girls you pick will be a run-away type. Take down her Name (before action starts) and if she does run later when OKT promise she wont to share their names in this thread (or PM me if you are too shy to share in public) when you are back home later so as to help me understand the joint and their girls better. Thank you in advance.

If she is an above average,a good fantastic girl from your perspective,not necessary to share her name with me. I am not interested becos i do understand what is good for you may not be good for me. Vice versa the other way too.

Lastly,do keep a low expectation,be humble in speech/behavior and be vigilant.

Good luck and may heaven bless you with a good Batam trip 2morow.

Cheers!

PS : Price for booking joint girls will technically be increase by about 20% to 100% this coming CNY 2016 season.
