The price is correct for Indo Thai. Next time give other massage parlor a try. Indo Thai is considered one of the higher end massage places and clean. Taxi driver also draw commission from such higher end massage shops.

My part time boss pays the same amount for 2 or 3 of his trips with his 2 friends too. When he joined me in my later trip,he eventually realized that paying that amount means he got chopped. What makes me curious now is, you could be one of my part time boss's friend? Hehehe....

Personal perspective,the amount is overly-tipped. For what i know,those who tipped those kind of amount at most time has other motives,eg RTF soon,plan to buy down the girl's contract or even plan to bonk for free next time etc etc.
There are others who tipped more than S$30 too,but most of those were....well....hehehehe....

You asked for an evaluation of your trip,i have shared my view. If you are new,do take some time to read my signature link whereby you will get most of your Batam questions answered (even those you arent ready to ask). Whatever you have over-spent (my own perspective),its gone and over today, so lets just move on. I have always emphasis to newbies who joined me that on the 1st 1 or 2 ,maybe even 3rd trip to Batam were mainly for them to look around, to adjust themselves to the environment and its culture,to know what they are looking for and what Batam has to offer. Once they can find what they are looking for and able to adapt to their culture (and environment) ,then THAT is where the REAL FUN truly begins,hehehe...
The next thing will be your after-trip mentality, it will be up to you to think if its right or not right on how you spend after reading the comments here. It is after all your freedom and choice to spend your own money at your own comfort level. From my perspective,you did pay very much more than you need to. I can learn better if i were to recognize my own mistake/s. And once i know i made mistake/s,i just have to avoid making them again in my next trip.
I have not forgotten i used to be a newbie in Batam who make mistake/s too. May your next Batam trip be better than this one you shared.
Cheers!
