I tried the Zest Hotel method many times, its 35k rupiah every time, so on my own, i will say it works well for me all the time.

Hehehe...not sure about dick but bro Harry and bro Tom tried it before and they shared that you will have to proof to the receptionist at Swissbel Harbour Bay that you are staying in Swiss Inn tho. It dont work 100% of the time tho (according to them), so i cannot guarantee anything becos i havent tried it out on my own before. However, if it were to fail, Harbour Boutique hotel is just few mins walk away, and taxi fare going at 35k rupiah, just like Zest hotel. So, they were covered in another way.

If you are not caught its ok, but if you are caught then it is not,just like some bros who brought one or 2 packs of cigarette from Batam to Singapore...hehehe...i am guessing no one can really answer that question to the dot and my answer is ,as long as both bottle of liquor doesnt adds up to 1 litre, i am almost sure it should be fine. Since the legal quantity that can be brought into Singapore is no more than 1 litre.


If you are staying less than 48 hours in Batam, also take note of the below :
