PS : For every 1 bad review i have on the above, i can actually find on average about 3 good ones. So its not all bad,neither is it all good. To be fair, there will never "all good and no bad" or all "bad and no good" in all things.

Yea...best alot of them skip going and we still continue to go batam...less crowd and better for us...to me was pleasant after 2 trips...

must learn from senior masters here and never get bad experience...

important to note...I will never go during PH or long weekend...

I have been contemplating if i should reply you (since i see no FRs or anything constructive in your past 21 postings), but since i am not replying to your PM, thought out of benefit of doubts, i reply to at least part/s of your query to get your start up on a direction.

Step 1 : Go to page 1 1st (or my signature links) and read the newbie guide for starter.

Step 2 : Follow this link to know the Batam more popular KTV price range :

https://sammyboy.online/showthread.php?p=...post184 51945

Step 3 : Use the Search button on the top right side of this page you are looking at to look for what you are looking for.

Price variances (if any) for KTV wont be too far apart year to year. At best is around 10%. Of course, if one choose to pay more, the highest pricing can be "infinity". Lowest is around 10% variance (if any) of the link stated above in my post.

Hope to see you come back with some FRs (i choose to trust 1st, my choice).

May you enjoy Batam and have a good time there.

Cheers!

Yes. They may have insurance. But best avoid accident. If car slightly dented i just close one eye. We are in foreign land. In Msia, I think they beat Indon drivers handsdown. Some of them drive so recklessly. Thats why its known as BolehLand. Latest thrend...they used human to chope parking lot but car no where to be found until 5 mins later.

What is the SOP if you are hit or hit some other car? And if people is injured? Police comes? Then? You are detained until the responsibilities are clarified? And if you are recognized guilty or partially guilty?

The May & June 19 problem was due to the voucher seller at the online market selling at exorbitant price, imagine these buyers bought their vouchers at $10 & later have to pay the $28 tax & goes on weekend which cost another $10 more. So all in they pay $48, just like any ordinary folks who walk in as a customer. How can their mindset be balance?

That's not counting in that they didn't knw abt btm money changer selling the open orange ticket at $37.

Only in Batam, yet w/o bursting your wallet.

Yep, the S$10 extra charge (for weekends) only applies in Singapore Horizon Counter at Harbour Front and not applicable from Batam side.

Thank you for double confirming that.

Vouchers/Coupons were mainly good for weekdays. Weekend-wise orange open ticket a bit more worthy.

Hehehe...Rambo Last blood is now screening in Batam, Cinema 21 theater. One of the movie i am looking forward to watch in Batam. But i think i am looking it to watch it in Grand Batam Mall instead whereby it has start screening as yet.

Rambo : Last Blood

The storyline :

John Rambo has come back to the United States and struggles to make peace with the demons of his past. However, he travels to Mexico to save his niece who has been taken hostage by the Mexican cartel.

The Trailer :

Hehehe...this guy (Sylvester Stallone) is 73, lets see how he is doing in this upcoming Rambo movie. One of this day, i will be 73 as well (everyone most likely will be too). Hopefully ,it will start screening at Grand Batam's CGV theater, well...otherwise, i may have to end up watching NeZha (哪吒之魔童降世) in the hotel room on my coming trip,hehehe...

别在意别人的看法。你是谁，只有你自己说了才算。

Enjoy the movie, be it if its Nezha or Rambo, most importantly, enjoy Batam.
