Hi guys,
Just got confirmation from Majestic Fast Ferry that travel insurance for Covid19 is now optional for entry to the Batam Centre Ferry Terminal.

Just based on the map, it seems like Harmoni is nearer to the big mall and somewhat nearer to the area with all the spas (like HK, G1). Planet Holiday looks like it's slightly further from those but nearer to the waterfront. How's getting around Batam and does the extra distance make much difference practically?

Harmoni Suites is opposite Nagoya Hill Mall, within walking distance. However getting Grab Car or GoCar is easy in Batam and inexpensive, mostly between RP15000 to RP20000. If you want to go to area around Lucky Plaza or Formosa Hotel, you can even walk from Harmoni Suites, just 5 minutes walk away. Planet Holiday has a small food court behind the lobby, easy to buy cigarette, beer etc. F1 Cub (disco) also located here.

Can share which joints you visited that are opened? Pricing seems around the pre covid period, possibly they included the "referral" fee to your taxi driver which is about 200k.

Was in Batam last 2 weeks, and noticed ceweks entering/exiting from the join opposite Hana Hotel. Forgot the joint's name though. Happy8 haven't open for business. I don't have pricing info though. We were riding and pass by Hana Hotel when we noticed that.

Just came back from Batam yesterday. Stock still limited. Sedona close. Indah permau close. Windsor gone. Harmoni hotel also gone. Limited girls to choose from. We took from Segar and Mawar. Price ok higher side. Segar charge 1.5million and mawar 1.3 million. Qaulity and looks so so only. At least got big boobs. 😂😂😂😂.

You can try da Vienna about $35 a night but the breakfast spread limited as compared to last time..more variety.

They got check vac status in sg before issue ticket as well as in in indo custom. The app was not reliable. Just show them the ss in TraceTogether is fine.

They don’t bother to even ask for your insurance. I entered on 3june.Not needed anymore

Just went to casino located at L2 of Planet Holiday, only got 2 types of games, beside one Roulette Table, the rest are Baccarat. All transactions in RP, min bet is RP1 million per hand for Banker/Player, much higher than RWS or MBS. Never bet a single hand. Outside the casino there is a big room like those in Geylang, a dozen of girls are seating at the long bench in the room, probably are waiting to be booked. I didn't bother to ask the price as none of them is my prefer type. Gambling and vice activities have come to Planet Holiday.

how is the situation in octopuss now

Since border had reopened after the lockdown and I knew many very eager to cheong, I suggest all try to find friends and not strangers...

I will be very suspicious if a new nick posted here asking to cheong bars, etc...

Ask yourself how much experience a newbie knew about hcm cheong scene...I will avoid at all cost to meet up with newbie stranger without any forum here...

Please cheong safely and be careful...

As mod, I wish all cheongsters post some nice forum to share here after your cheonging experience...

To those who took the trouble to write a forum here, thank you very much and appreciate your kind effort..

NOTE - please do not quote long post...try to edit the main point before submit your reply...also hope cheongsters do not post to say I send you pm in this thread to contact each other but rather use PM to contact each other...
