Now is Ramadhan month. First 3 days, middle 3 days and last 3 days before Hari Raya, all night spots are closed. On other days if they are open, it is from 9pm to 2am only.

Play safe. Check into big hotels like Planet Holiday, I hotel, Harris hotel , Harmoni One if you want to avoid being raided by the police or some Muslim organization .

Small hotels are well known to be raided during the fasting month.

The best and stress free thing is to wait ramadan month over... 1-2 weeks after raya then go... all business times back to normal... makan places all open... no need worry raids... isn't it better and convenient... tahan a bit la brurs if possible... hahaha... 19 aug over already...

Good advise. It sucks to be raided and door knocked while bonking.

I used to go into the "closed" joints by the back door. Also will have helpful man outside to show u the way.

Should be good advice, not advise. Just helping Sam do his work. He's quite anal about people misusing advice vs advise in his forum. He he he...

Need advices on how i could get girls' company for me & my friends and how could i get driver's service to travel around batam for shopping as well as seafood... Hoped some kind soul could enlighten me on that, million thanks in advance!

Read up for info on the joints here. Seafood? You got car, can try far away places like Rezeki( batu besar), and punggol. There is also golden prawn where you can try too.

Shopping? Try Nagoya Hills. The biggest one around. BCS and Kepri Mall is quite big too.

As for timing wise, it is better to do so late Aug/Begining Sept. This is ramadan month and not many joints are open for fun for long hours.

any bro going to batam for a day please PM me. am interested.

yup....better deal change at btm $ changer....

last week.....7470 at harborbay near carrefour.

i only change $50 n she still give me the same rate.
