From Batam Harris Waterfront Resort
(can be found in trip advisor)
during Oct 2014,hehehe....
Thats not counting the light brownish water i saw in Gideon Hotel. (which i didnt take photos on)
Anyway,i have seek advise on Batam's tap water in the old thread and i am taking bro Newyorker's advise. Tap water in Batam is for those who has a strong stomach. i admit,i am weak...hehehe...so i will try to skip it whenever possible.

Me too. There is always some Chinese Po Chi pills in my bag whenever i travel to Batam. Even offered one bottle to a little kid in one of the morning when a worried grandma brought her grandson to the reception due to a diarrhea issue in the very early hours of the morning (when pharmacy has not open yet).

Life can be more adventurous.....
But not at the expense of falling sick w stomach upset after trying new stuffs.

I drank water direct from the well in some rural countryside while in GuangXi but when in their city area,i still dont drink direct from their tap. I used tap water that has a water filter attached to cook rice,hehehehe...
The least i wish to have in a tour to another country is to fall sick.
