Most hotels quote their prices directly in SGD. So, the exchange rate is not relevant.
The price of cewek at massage joints was increased about +50% or even +100% in the last 4 years (that is, since my first visit to Batam). I remember my first time. Cheapest girls were quoted 300k, and they were not few.
Now 400k? 500k?
But the price of cewek is strictly dependent on market rules: the price results from the equilibrium between demand and request.
I guess that the only way to push down the price of cewek is to reduce demand.
Should we start to claim only bad things here and on ISG?
E.g., Batam is dangerous, seafood is not fresh, scams everywhere, people is unkind, girls are ugly.... (You know what is my actual opinion instead)
Maybe less tourists will come to visit Batam...
