Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
Just back from a weekday 2 day one night trip to Btm. Appreciate all the guides given in this thread.. Travelling alone and did a lot of read ups before proceed. Booked from online Horizon first ferry at 0815hrs and returned tix next day at 1915hrs Indo time. Total of $68 due to trying out the business class as well.
Hotel booked via Agoda at $79 for two nights at Biz Hotel deluxe room. Actually stay for just a night but wanna chill around as next day returning ony at night. Arranged for an early check in. Upon touch down, change for boarding pass at HB level 2 and money exchanged at the changer for 1-10400. Bought a SIM card for portable wifi purposes 6gb for 30days and look2 see2 around the terminal before having breakfast outside. Simple chicken rice stuff. Took a cab as mentioned for 30k to Biz and check in hotel around 1030hrs Indo time.
Purpose of trip is just to unwind and site walk to experience the cheonging/relaxing scene here. Went to Nagoya Hill Mall for makan,watch movie at 35k which is cheap hehe.. Bought some jerseys at 100k each and also recce the Delta Spa at NHM. Quite pricey at 600k+ Opening and as it's among the non recommended ones, so just enquire and check the place out only. As staying in Biz hotel, walking distance to the massage places at Utama, easily spotted. As well as DC Mall. Make Friend with a salesgirl there lol.Tried VIP massage at Beautiful Massage for 230k plus 400k FJ by the gal. So called VIP room but hehe not so wow.. Attached with bathtub though. And standard massage at 60k and 200k HJ at Good One Massage. Both gals so-so, not bad. Managed to find Sri Kandy and hav a peek at the stock. Mix of SYTs and milfs. That's about it for my adventures, as don't really feel like getting LT for this trip, more like check it out and chill by myself. But definitely grateful for the tips given. Most taxis quote me at 50k for my trip to Nagoya Mall to hotel and vice versa. Maybe kena chop, but still venturing so it's ok. Thanks to all, will return for next happy2 trip
