Now,this is interesting. How much does he buys it for?

Alternatively what i will do is :
1. Reserve a room via email telling them (the hotel and not kaha) i will buy voucher from Kaha (if the hotel allows it) upon my arrival on a certain date.
2. Walk in to Kaha Travel,buy the room voucher by showing them the confirmation email from the hotel.
This is what i often do now.
Another way i do before i got to learn the above method is i email or sms the staff/s of Kaha Travel (once i become regular),ask them to help me reserve a room. But one will need to calculate the cost of 2-3 oversea sms charges + the hotel room price per night in order not to become "penny wise and a pound stupid".

At $10 to 15 a bottle, I rather give it to a worthy cause.

1st,i apologize that i need to quote your whole post cos it is a complete information to me and becomes incomplete if i were to minus any content out of it.
What got me interested was an old lady outside formosa hotel was selling it to the locals. I asked one of the buyer who was testing the honey and he tells me she sells raw honey etc etc...i didnt buy it. Price was about 150k or 160k rupiah. I may buy some back to Sillypore to run some lab test at a later time since i am working in an industry where proper equipment is readily accessible.
Thank you for the heads up on the pricing and advise.

PM duly received with thanks.
Adulterated or not,i can only tell after the lab test has been run to get a report. Since Momo has it,i may likely get from Momo 1st (for convenient reason),but it wont be so soon as i still have quite a stockpile of honey at home stored in glass jar,hehehehe...
Cheers!

Like a bro say,no one can give you a fix price. Try asking in DC mall if you are staying anywhere near it. Dont ask pricing from just one shop,check with at least 3 shops or more for a better price. (there are Chinese shop tenants)
