Some like Planet so they can get their fix they are missing from where they from.
Interesting, since i am often in that area, perhaps should find one day after midnight timing to be outside there to sit down & do my ebook "reading".

Then again, i'll need to find a seat first.

Hmm...maybe i should check this place out with the girls before dropping in there, hehehe....

Maxim while it is cheaper has its weakness too.

You can book your taxi on your phone at Harbour Bay ferry terminal, the driver who took your order can comes from as far as Nongsa or Sekupang. Hence what my friend (using Maxim) will cancel the taxi order almost immediately & re-book the taxi again.

This way, the waiting time waiting for the driver to come to us is longer than using Grab or Gojek.

Above were the bad part of it, and as for the good part.

Besides price point (which is lower), most who signs up for Maxim were newbie-on-the-batam-road driver. Can easily negotiate a full day taxi booking at a lower price. I have already met no less than 3 lady taxi driver from Maxim.

Few months ago, one auntie even bring her kids along to pick up passenger (me) too. I also learn many locals were using Maxim, even hotel staffs who help me book taxi also using Maxim.

Yes, i don't feel the need to update at the moment as it still tells every reader mainly ONE same message.

Want massage with plus plus services & overnight booking girls?

1. Walk Utama Hotel 1 round.

2. Walk Pagoda Hotel 1 round.

3. Utama Hotel & Pagoda Hotel is about 1 min walk apart.

4. HJ 100k rupiah (150k) and FJ 200k rupiah (300k) can still b found in that area.
(I prefer to keep them to myself)

As for discotheques and KTVs, don't need to ask me. Most time, i can only afford to loiter outside, never go inside unless got bosses in Singapore willing to pay for what i do not drink or "eat" inside.

Meaning, i do not like to pay for something i do not like to pay for.

The last time i was in M1, my part time boss tips literally all the staffs there S$50 each, sitting girls S$100 and mami S$200. Just like what he pays for in our regular hand flower KTVs in Singapore, hehehe.... and at the end of the day, he told me didn't like Batam KTV. He prefers Singapore & Malaysia KTV night club better.

Just sharing.
