Re: Batam Info Thread
Upcoming January 2016 Trip The date will be 14/01/2016 (thu to sat),my 1st trip to Batam for 2016. I am organizing another learning group trip to Batam for newbies who find themselves lacking confidence to travel there and for those who wish pick up the basics. Look closely at the title of this group trip,its a Learning Group Trip so do spend some time to read the Terms and Conditions before you PM me. My PM box will be open from now till 10th Jan 2016. When you PM me,do state the following : 1. Your age group (20s,30s,40s,50s,60s,70s,80s) - No age limits 2. Your experience/s in Batam (if any) 3. What will you be expecting from Batam if you join me in this trip 4. Your race and spoken language 5. Etc etc if there is anything you wish to help me know you better. DO NOT SEND ME : 1. Your HP number (unless i confirmed you got a slot and asked from you) 2. You passport/NRIC/Fin particulars (i dont need it) 3. You wechat/watapp or any mobile communication app number (i dont use them) 4. Any personal particulars from your birth cert,passport,NRIC,work permit number or bankbook I am a little tired repeatedly having to write everything all over again before i start planning an itinerary ,so i will just use my last group trip itinerary plan on Nov 2015 for reference : https://sammyreviews.store/showpo...ostcount=33249 Do read them whats on the link above. I also read your PM more than thrice before i reply them. And if i didnt reply you in more than 48 hours,it is likely you may have miss out something (read this post again) and/or you have not been selected. Through the many experience i have organizing group trips to Batam,i believe there will often be lots of applicants and sad to say that not all of them will be able to fit into the number of slots i have. So if you are not chosen,it isnt becos you are not as good as others,it would be more becos i cannot take in too many. My apologize in advance. _______________________________ Trip date : 14/01/2016 Duration : 3D2N Amount of $ to bring : Read my signature link on Beginner's Guide for 1st Time Batam Visitor Time of trip : to be advised Expected Exchange Rate : 9700/SGD Targetted exchange Rate : 9800/SGD (hopefully) Simple learning group trip with : 1. Meeting up to go to Batam together 2. Book ferryticket 3. Book return ticket back to Sillypore upon reaching Batam 4. Change money in Batam 5. Head to Kaha to buy room voucher (thats why i gathered the pricing for Biz and Da Vienna Hotel from Kaha) 6. Grab a taxi,maybe 2 if needed 7. Brunch at one of Batam's top 5 noodle shop in my definition 8. Booking joint shopping 9. Massage place visit is optional 10. Back to room for OTOT until dinner time 11. YOU feed me with FR on the brunch/dinner/girl/massage (hehehe...) 12. After dinner will be OTOT till next morning for breakfast 13. Repeat same process for the next day,just a change of destination. You should know how much to bring,how much you will need to spend. Other details will be shared with you once you got a confirm slot from me. The Batam Group trip application starts now. (closing date 10th Jan 2015) Just remember,i am not asking for you to join me becos i need a head count for my trip. I am mainly here to assist. I am not a tour guide. You dont pay me and i am not on a job as a guide. Respect one another as most people in this trip would be where we met each other for the 1st time. Side note : https://sammyreviews.store/showpo...ostcount=33635 My a little enhanced guide : https://sammyreviews.store/showpost.p...ostcount=32897 For your further reading on Batam : 1. To eat... 2. To sleep... 3. To fuck... May heaven bless this coming group trip to be a good one. And please drop your expectation by at least half. Cheers!

1. Let's say i have booked a room via Booking.com or AsiaTravel.com which i have paid up front, can i still use KAHA voucher? 2. Correct me if i'm wrong, i assume this is how KAHA works. For example: KAHA Voucher - RP 50K Original Room Price - RP 850K KAHA Room Price - RP 500K So i save 300K. By purchasing the KAHA voucher for RP 50K at KAHA Counter. Then goto Hotel and give them my Booking.com reservation. Then tell them i have KAHA Voucher. Then they will re-calculate again by including the KAHA discount in the my Booking.com reservation. By the way, i'm getting around RP 500K for Biz Hotel. Do you know how much we can get cheaper via KAHA? Hope that's not too much of hassle for your guidance. Thank you in advance. |

Re: Batam Info Thread
[QUOTE=Naka_Timo;14050348]Maybe you are jealous of him or everyone one here.
Kindly enlighten us readers here as to WHY must be jealous.. People can see that none of us are promoting a certain place constantly when contributing FRs from "others" have stated that MLS is not cheap. but Many bros here have been wonderful, sharing details of their btm experience. Yes they have but when MLS pricing is not favourable the same adamant gang of people are still supporting the "Promoter" of MLS will come about to state otherwise. Who they are will be shown below. Ranging from bro kohonly21, johnhbk, and many others but u seem to have shoot everyone. You three have met more that once so what else can I say To be fair some of the "promoter's" fellow meet up friends have also stated MLS is not cheap but in a more diplomatic way Even MLS "promoter" had suggested to a very senior nick here to go try MLS and you go see whats the senior nick's reply to him. Well, right or wrong, hidden adgenda or not, people here can see. And you speak about Agenda - look who's talking and are you high on MLS drunken prawns. High pointers doesn't always mean creditability. Quote:
of being jealous and having agendas Since you are so well verse in Indon language I say this to you " Kaca diri dulu"

For a group, taking ojek is not economic. Quote:
And misleading... You might not agree, but why you say I am misleading? In total good faith, I share my experience. To the best of my knowledge, always accurate. (yet everyone makes mistakes at times) I read this forum because there is often something interesting to learn for next visits. Sharing what I learned from field is a way to reciprocate and make mutual the information sharing. It should be always like that. I do not expect that everyone must agree with me at all times, but I wish everyone trusts me that I do that in good faith. Last edited by Black Page; 06-01-2016 at 04:44 PM. |

Anyway, until now the most commonly seen local/foreigner pricing are on transportation. Ranging from Ferries tickets to local transportation such as taxi, ojek and mini van.. Example: Sindo Ferry Ticket (Only for Sekupang/Batam Centre) Local = 250k inclusive of seaport tax Foreigner = 270k inclusive of seaport tax (cheapest that i can find in batam) Horizon Ferry Ticket Local 380k (only applicable in batam counter if i remember correctly) Foreigner 480k Taxi Local as low as 15k/20k for a short trip Foreigner minimum i find cost 25k for a shor trip Ojek Local ranging from 5k, 6k, 7k Foreigner 10k, 15k, 20k Mini Van Local 2/2.5k for a short trip Foreigner 3/4k for a short trip

Re: Batam Info Thread
First he says... (below)
* he's been in red since the below post made Quote:
* he contributed & shared,looks good huh? Quote:
*poor guy got scammed & were too worried to reply him at that point of time Quote:
*from saving 60% to becm paying normal price yet be taking an inferior-ed quality ferry Quote:
Remember,today he scammed for reputation points openly (i don't knw if any $$$ is being scammed by him from those who pm-ed him for the deal,maybe they got too worried to speak out) in public forum,tomorrow he will scam for smthg else. Using his fav words,open yr eye big big to see,otherwise one day u will really "got eyes but no tears to cry". * i need to quote his whole post to bring out his complete words in full instead of partially so as to allow readers to read his complete posting I'm not gonna argue further & as for who has the credibility. It'd be yr choice to read wisely. I rest my case here with my eyes wide open. |

I need to say this,MLS is not a cheap meal to begin with,i mean which sea food is cheap in local btm term? Perhap u may wish to enlighten me with a cheap sea food meal in Btm for starter? It's only fair that i ask bcs there are so much talk on this MLS from u not being cheap in local term. If u have a good suggested alternative (or 2),it can help other readers who visit btm to make comparison between yr version of cheap vs MLS. This is wat a forum is all abt,isnt it? U suggest,ppl go try,i suggest,others try & then make comparison. You say "no good",i keep saying "good" or u keep saying "good" & i say "not good". The bickering won't end & it's ultimately not being fruitful to any readers. Come up with a better suggestion so i can make compare. The very least it can help towards this thread is to make it more constructive thru comparison btw 2 or 3 sea food places suggested by 2 or more person? Not fair to ask this little favor from you? Please help me or us. Will be looking fwd to yr recommendation,bro. Otherwise it'd just be another all talk & bickering with nothg really concrete known to the general public which spells more trouble in its making by the one or few who starts them all. Thk u. |
