As i read this,i checked my recent 2 summaries....normal non-weekend is 475k per night for deluxe room,weekend there is a surcharge of 50k/night. I think that chap from Batam center is pocketing the extras he charge you. Ramadan effect at work? Walk-in also not that highly priced in Formosa. Hmm....will comment more on your other parts of your FR in another day while i do some research. Quote:
Men are only allow to take the back seat and be locked in like a car-jail with payment thru a small window-like metal bar from the back seat. Back seat car doors are usually locked until payments are done. When i was with my gf in Guangzhou,my girl has to take the front seat while my other male friend and me has to take the back seat. :D |

It was a full ferry on Sindo and it was the last weekend of the school hols. So, I was thinking hard to book, thus the price increase. Quite sad, always thought Kaha was good. Think wont support them liao. Most likely that chap "eat" money and he collected the money in SGD. Stupid me, should have just done walk in. I don't know but I was told to sit at the front seat everytime even though I want to sit at the back. I did ask the driver, he told me he scared I run away if I sit at the back. |

One more you might have missed which provide quality good massage is directly behind Relax Massage,called Indo Rasa Massage. Also has in-hotel-room massage,but all MILFs.Ambiance of shop and its room is not good,for your info. Got special too. Specialty is dick massage aka vitalitas + HJ at around 100k to 200k,need to bargain down price too. Their best girl there has left Batam and wont be back till after hari raya. Walk to the road between Lucky Plaza and Formosa Hotel,you will see Bridge Massage straight up ahead. Clean massage place with a few who MAY offer special if timing is right and shop has only few customers or no customer. Again,their best girl has left Batam and wont be back until after Hari Raya. By the time of my post,most massage shop mention above would be closed,except Kings Massage.I am sorry for not replying any earlier as you can see my message are long. You can test your luck at 4th storey of Formosa KTV if you wish to book a girl for overnight. Its a Monday,may luck be with you! Go to counter and check if have girls available for booking. If you need toiletries,drinks,CDs or anything just go to Formosa front door,step out...turn left without leaving Formosa building,keep left and walk w/o leaving the hotel building itself,there is a provision shop. Good luck and may you enjoy yourself if you are still there in Batam. Cheers! |

Picture Time....
This is the place to store your luggage in Batam Centre. It is right inside. Right corner. You can go about last minute makan n shopping in light mode while waiting for your ferry home. You will need your passport to store n collect your luggage. No charges. http://i.imgur.com/fuvAJxA.jpg To walk from Formosa to Keyzha (near DC mall) Once out from Formosa front entrance, turn LEFT....you will see Center Point Mall. Got a missing T. http://i.imgur.com/fTeks9R.jpg I took the bigger road at the right of the building. http://i.imgur.com/L2KDZn6.jpg |

Re: Batam Info Thread
Walk along the road. Until you see a red color SIMPATI building.
Look left and there is this building...it is Nagoya City Walk. There is a big amusement park inside. Traffic is heavy here...cross over to the building. http://i.imgur.com/RXfZtky.jpg To escape the heat, you can walk into this building, exit the building from the other side. Walk along this road, keep to the right. http://i.imgur.com/pQX7lT8.jpg Reach the end, turn right. Can see the BIZ hotel behind. Almost there. http://i.imgur.com/Zj3QCIv.jpg |
Re: Batam Info Thread
Walk towards the end of the building....Biz hotel....this is important landmark.
http://i.imgur.com/wJUGHZ9.jpg Diagonally opposite...walk further down....is Hotel Utama. http://i.imgur.com/lbmk6iq.jpg Go around the end of Hotel Utama...turn right.....is DC Mall. http://i.imgur.com/pxVQs4y.jpg |
Re: Batam Info Thread
At the location where I took the DC Mall picture...look left....can see Keyzha liao. In the picture...it is behind the white saloon car.

Actually by doing this can lead them to interpret 2 meaning: 1) You trusted them and pay even though havan reached your destination. (Some driver actually felt happy) 2) They will think that you had already prepared the small change for them. Hence, you do not have extra to give them. Anyway i always carry a piece of 100k rupiah note nowadays, learning their style by replying no small change will mostly solve the problem if they tries to ask more on top of the agreed price. |
