___________________________________________
To sum it up,this thread will be almost exactly like the previous
older Batam Info Thread.
https://sammyreviews.store/showthread.php?t=66580
Only main difference is i would humbly hope for no quarreling,no fighting,no flaming and to avoid going off topic here. We will try to focus on sharing information,sharing FRs,sending out healthy reminder/s to each other,everyone gathered together to cheong Batam,have a happy good time there (whether together or not) and we return here to share so that others can learn the rope and maybe have the same good or better time you might have. Not having a good time in Batam,also nevermind. You can still share what isnt right in your trip so that others will not follow your same foot step (and learn) or be notify in advance of some not-so-good girl/s or place/s you been to,so as to at least try to avoid having a bad time.
May the GOOD core value of the old Batam Info Thread persist in the years to come. We learn from one another. You learned from me,i learned from you. You know more,you teach me.i know less,i will try to learn more from you so as to try to keep up with you pace. And when i eventually know more than others,i humbly help others who know lesser. Creating a good positive cycle so that the good works from the previous generation and this generation can then be carried down to the next generation to come.
In order NOT to allow this 1st post go out of topic,allow me to bring you to the beginning of my collection of Batam Information collected from the old thread. Crediting it all to ALL the previous senior bros who selflessly shared their experiences
there.
For the newbies who has little or no experience in Travelling to Batam and yet wish to travel there,do read the below links 1st :
https://sammyreviews.store/showthread...7#post10864507
Above link is my Batam beginner's walkthrough guide from the previous batam info thread created at a time when i am still in a newbie mentality but the booking joint map there is a little outdated. You may wish to refer to bro Freedom's recent map made in 2015 below for a little more updated details (its not a complete map tho,but should be good enough for most to navigate around) :
Do note too that Prima Ferries stated in that Batam walk through guide link no longer exist. Its now called Horizon Ferries as in 2015 onward. Location of the ferry terminal in both country (Batam and Singapore),addresses and phone number remains unchanged. At the point of this post,one can still book ferry ticket from Prima Ferries website but you are actually travelling via Horizon Ferry. No upfront payment needed for booking. You pay only when you reach there to collect your boarding pass (unless its peak season,eg CNY ,Xmas,please call them to enquire).
Prima Ferries (doesnt exist anymore) = Horizon Ferries (replaced Prima Ferries)
To know where to cheong,here's a copy of the cheong list dated on Oct 2015 :
https://sammyreviews.store/showpost.p...ostcount=32874
The cheong list is updated once every few months and/or whenever there are more new things to be updated and/or when i have the time,so do keep a look out on the latest posting in this thread.
With all the basic information on getting to Batam with accommodation and places to cheong settled. One will need to feed himself (maybe his Batam girl/s too) and thats where
the Batam Food List made in 2015 comes into play.
https://sammyreviews.store/showpost.p...ostcount=34430
Again the cheonging list and the food list will need to be constantly update (during my free time and/or if there are new info),so please do keep a look out at the latest posting in this thread as well as my signature links for update. As long as i am still here in this thread,i shall continue to update the available listings as much as possible base on what others shared here. This is 2016 and i am working on other list/s and if time allows,i will upgrade the older listings too.
Keep in mind,in years/months to come,information in this 1st post i type here may likely go out-dated. Always keep a lookout for the latest post in this thread. And thats one of the main reason why this thread was created. For everyone who constantly share update on any changes in Batam.
May heaven bless all readers and contributors of this thread to have a good time in Batam.
