Last time FL hard to cari makan, that why join joint, easier to get tamu. Now too many places for them. Joint price up maybe due to follow market. Remember last time is commonly 300k with taxi, without taxi is 220k. Cewk get 110k, joint get 110k. If continue this pricing now, where got cewk still want to work at joint.

Then after sometime, some joint up to 400k, but cewk still only get 110k. Then more and more cewk left joint to work as FL or PR. Then in order for joint to attract more gals to work for them, slowly system change to 400k, cewk 200k, joint 200k. Then happened again FL due to be over pampered, start to rise price, pacific used to be 300k to 500k up till 500k to 800k, milf at 400k. Joint cewk not stupid also, they know FL rate. Then many left joint. So same thing happened, joint up the price again, in order to attract cewk to work for them. Then is what we see now, commonly 500k, 600k.

And last time many cewk join joint due to can borrow money from joint first, but now when times getting better, not much cewk getting desprate to join joint to borrow money.

As for tipping, may not be bros here spolit market, althogh some do may be other nationality. Korean is famous to be generous in tipping, even pinoy, I mean those working at batam. Anyway, nothing can be done to change anything. Everyone in this world hope to be paid higher, same to FL, WL.
that's just my view. may be wrong, coz I don't open joint.

And willingness to pay
Talking about LAPAN DUA
the last time I went there
Book a cewek for 350,000 rp
That price included taxi commission
I know if I go there myself she only worth 300,000 rp the most
If I were to book a syt for 600,000 or 700,000 rp
Like most bros did here
That means I can book two ceweks

Thanks bro ndnd and bro JOGK on your feedback and comments. Both of you are sure very knowledgeable and good foresight on Batam market movement. I fully agree that it is beyond any control. And I can understand that it is definitely base on supply and demand.

I never cheong haadyai (Thailand) before but I have heard from my friends that now it is getting more expensive to book gals there. And the year 1900 period which I used to cheonged in Johor around Pelangi/Taman area where the KTVs girl are cheat, hot and sexy. But now, the girl’s booking are also very expensive too. So my worry is that, one day, Batam might also become like Thailang or Johor. And I can see that it is coming soon from what I have read the FRs this few days that bros are paying such a high booking fee. And now my biggest worry is, Rp300K is usually I pay for the booking fee in my regular joint but now my Rp300K is as cold as ice water………

On average, I cheong 2 or 3 times per month. For 2D/1N, I used to change $200 and it’s more than enough but now I need to change $300 and must have good planning.

So if the booking price continue to go up, where are we going to cheong next. Tg. Balai again??? Sian lah….. so far and the booking places is ulu lah….. Batam is more nearer and much more convenience to cheong. Too bad, the day of heaven has gone!!!

Good luck too all bros.

Don't forget my wife is a real kampong gal....

[ndnd]

Mas Joki, thanks for you comment
I fully understand how you feel.

Balai price compare to previous, also shoot up a lot. I miss 1998 tg. Batu.The day suhato step down, tg. batu exchage rate at 100 dollar to 1juta. Can see many cheongsters use black colour plastic bag to carry rupia.
Booking that time is 150k. Can imagine the spending power of dollar that time..

haha.. but really true, i start cheong batam year 2005/2006 if not wrong, and tg balai only 1 time tat in 2002, if not wrong remember, tat time 200K till 500K, if 450k tat time can bonk a really good gals liau. tg balai is about 200-300k, now is getting expensive liau. Bro ndnd, our salary not increase much, so only can decrease to going honeymoon at batam.

i also want find wife who is kampong gals. hehe... any intro?

[JOGK]

Very sad...but it's beyond our control
JB is next to Singapore
Just like batam...just an hour ferry ride
Don't talk about call gals. Prices
Just foods enough to tell you it's going up all the time
If those neccessities goes up rapidly over the years
It's not surprisingly those luxuries follow suites

You have to look for those born in the early 1960s
Because they were the last badges
After that....no more kampongs in this island

tbh can you find dinosaurs now?
