Got to understand that many years ago the exchange rate is about 5500 or 6000K rupiah to 1 dollar. Nowdays gone to 9k plus.

That's one factor.

Cost of living been going up sky high everywhere. You see batam now days, things for makan is getting expensive as well. Not only property, and other cost.

Second factor.

Lastly, basic demand and supply. If the OKT and FL or massage ladies cannot get more for their services, or less customers they will adjust accordingly. So it is up to us to give and nego.

There is a Batam Thread already, I hope this helps.
