Notice that even Kaha pricing and where you got it from has not much on the price variances.



When i was there,i didnt have the time to check out 2 things. One of them was the Business Center and the other one was the Executives Floor. Any chance you could elaborate on this 2 if you knows anything about it?

Thank you.

Executives floor have presidential suite there and business center have a conference room if i m not wrong

43 Sqm,thats about 50% bigger in size compared to the rooms in Formosa hotel,hehehe...i think can play hide and seek in the room.

Yes, i play hide and seek


A small suggestion,the next time round,try staying in Da Vienna Junior Suite. Kaha pricing is 600k rupiah,also 43 Sqm. Enough space for a hide and seek too,hehehe...i am mainly making a room to room comparison on both hotels. And the Da Vienna one has a bath tub. Nagoya Mansion also has a Business suite that is 57sqm in size (about the size of Formosa's executive room),there was no price online. Maybe next trip (or the one after) i go check with Kaha.

Just sharing.

Sure no harm trying..

Hey Guys,

Need your help here. I've been tasked to organize a day trip to Batam for my fellow colleagues of bet 10 to 15 pple somewhere late July.My plan is:
1. Go Kart
2. Flying Fox
3. Visit some interesting places, eg, outlets, cultural dance, kueh lapis factory
4. SPA massage
5. Halal seafood lunch or sudanese

Was thinking of either going to a travel agency or self organize by booking a bus and doing own ferry booking.

Any thoughts/lobangs?

I have a few questions below,in hope for some answers :

1. 9th June is 端午节 aka the Rice Dumpling Festival,i am wondering if there will be rice dumpling for sale in Batam during the festival onward? Especially the Peranakan version aka Nonya version.

2.

Girls wise, they usually give free fuck to the polis to get off. So the girls are often at the mercy of being sex slaves to the polis that have arrested them before.

Thank you for sharing,and becos of your reply..you have also reminded me some questions i wish to ask some time ago but keep forgetting. What if those who raid the entertainment places werent the police but were conducted by those religious activist (or extremist),eg. FPI which was stated on my earlier post regarding Ramadan below :

https://sbfsg.net/showpo...postcount=2228

Under :

1. Indonesians angered over hard-line Ramadan raids
(i did some read up and learn that this happens all over the Riau island,including Balai/Tg Pinang/Batam etc)

Whats MOST important is, what will happen if a tourist were to be caught in such kind of raids?
(it happens before over the years and will definitely happen again but info on it was an almost zero online)

Thank you in advance.

3. When do Indonesia Muslim starts giving the Green Packet? On Hari Raya itself or during Ramadan period?

Thank you all.

Thx

Price sent to me in November 2013, PDF format. I cut & paste here and try to make it as easy to read as possible. Not sure what is the current price but it won't be too far away. Maybe an increase from between Rp10k to Rp50k. I have not been there since Nov. 2013. The place is clean, quiet (if no convention) and peaceful. Worth going.

At least that's a "honest" driver. But, who is to say that the commission and the taxi fare is not being loaded into the booking fee... Hence, if can walk, is the best. Else, ojet is a viable alternative. If 2 or more pax, then consider taxi.

This type very honest, hard to find liao. Usually most don't care, just earn from joints and charge the trip.

[F22x]

Bro nono and other esteemed seasoned batam samsters cheongsters, is it ok (safe) to go tomorrow ? Friday ... Will massage house / hotel massage girls be available and with normal pricing ? Is hotel massage safer than massage shops ?

Appreciate comments ...

I know the system, but I am still amazed by how candid can be girls in Batam in asking money. I met this girl and chatted briefly at the cafe. I plan to meet her and see how it develops next time. She's a good office girl and very pretty in her elegant office attire.
After few days of chatting on phone, she candidly writes me to send her money because she's too busy now for finding a new job Yes, no hospital to pay or parents who die. She just has no time to look for a new job.
can you transfer me a little money unfortunately, not a lot of affection only 3 million just for the cost of my life before work because I 'm busy too look for work , can dear ?

I will be here, technically I am based here. Booking joint wise I am not really good, I am more on the long term investment kind if you get what I mean, btw the girls here prefer Ninjia Turtles more than Warcraft. Finally get to the Food Point Supervisor liao, nice slim Indonesian Chinese
