Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
Have been in Batam since Friday, staying at Planet Holiday, due to return to SG on Thursday, 4 more nights here. Very pack at Tanah Merah when leaving on May 6 despite it was not a public holiday, luckily i've bought the ferry ticket and paid online in advance, otherwise may not be able to board the ferry. Many people weŕe forced to take the 2:30 ferry when they tried to buy the ferry ticket at around 11 am that day. Clearing at Batam Center check- point was much quicker than expected, only took around 15 minutes. The staffs there only checked my printed Vaccines Cert and ART test report, don't even bother to check my Travel Insurance, Hotel Booking and Return Ferry Ticket. Most shops are Batam Center remain closed, many shops near to Planet Holiday also not open, don't know why. Staying in hotel room most of the time, want to eat just place orders on Grab Food or Go Food.
