There should be a section "Reports of Distinction", as on the ISG forum, where significant reports are linked for ease of recollection.

Therefore i have whatever information i collected,packed in and update onto my signature from time to time. Next year Ramadan 2017,you can be sure that i will be bringing the information back up all over again PLUS add-ons from the updates i see here today in 2016 ,together with my
29th Batam trip summary (base on what i have physically experience and learned). Each year,many here including myself learns something different,something new,better prepared too so that things for myself and hopefully everyone planning a trip during Ramadan in Batam can have a good time.
This thread have had enough information for basically all beginners on how to travel to Batam on Page 1 itself and were updated on my signature whenever i am free. For more intermediate and advance Batam players,they will need to read,follow the thread and ask questions. And in case you havent notice,i dare say 99% of every page (over the 160 pages) in this thread has some kind of Batam key information and/or FR sharing in it,hehehe...
One day...one fine day (i dont know when,maybe 2018/2019)...i MAY come out with a Board of Batam Thread Contribution with all regular contribution and/or informative posts consolidate in an constantly updated post on my signature,thats to save me some time from having to search thru my own bookmarked Batam info vault.
One of the example is bro xXFreedomXx's collective FRs below :
https://www.sbfsg.net/showpost.p...postcount=1058
...and until then,i can only live with the forum's search function to help me find what i need as well as searching thru my ton-load of Batam info on my info vault.

The 3 reports with your name on it,were where i get the most Ramadan information from,in fact if you look (and clicked) at those other links w/o your name on it :
https://www.sbfsg.net/showpo...postcount=2228
...i uses more than just the 3 reports from you. If i were to add on those reports to the other reports/info provided by others,it forms a more solid constructive information altogether. It gives me better answers on travelling to Batam during Ramadan.

If i dont remember wrong,it was bro Kohonly,and he did mention he wants to take it back,hehehe...too late tho. Now,i go to other alternate hair salons. (its from there that i learn salon can be quite a fun place to be in)

Price increase? i better give it a miss.
I just had my haircut at X salon at 80k for haircut and wash plus facial and shoulder massage (on June 2016). I gave the hair dresser 100k and ask her to keep the change,she buys me a drink in return,hehehe...

The aunty's massage is enjoyable though. Her strength is the kuat kuat type.

Reminds me of how some Batam service industries does business. Business too good,price up,service standard and product/s quality drops. No business just close shop and starts elsewhere since rental not expensive. I shall wait and see,hehehe...

Try the massage girls in some massage shops.....negotiate with them to see if they could take a day off or something. Many massage girls in Batam travel on motorbikes ,some even drive a car and i am sure you could hitch a ride.

Thank you for sharing.
My part time boss is becoming more intelligent nowaday after figuring on how to get higher class luxury room at a lower price (i did give him some pointers). Most of us dont really go to Batam to use the other facilities like the swimming pool,gym,conference room etc,so regardless how majestically grand the hotel appearance is,they ultimately only want a good enough room (of their desire),those that can play "hide and seek" kind or simply just enjoy the extra space,hehehe...and they can cost much lower than S$120,hehehe...

Biz Hotel junior suite (670k from Kaha). But you will have to book in advance. If me and my "girl" can fit inside their jacuzzi bath tub comfortably,i am sure you and yours will have no problem. BUT! If you planned 2 girls PLUS yourself inside it,then you might have a problem,hehehe...
Another good about this Biz hotel is if you take a small stone on your hand,throw it out of your Biz hotel junior suite window,you most likely hit Newton Hotel's rooftop (Newton Disco),hehehe...thats how close by it is to Newton which you often visit. There's also a "wonderland" called Nagoya City Walk Mall just beside Biz Hotel (45secs walk from their front door). Good for gals who often use the magic words "sopping" on you. (things there were less expensive compare to many major shopping Malls and there's a J.co too)
I have to give Biz hotel credit for their personal touch service but i also need to compare it with my 1st day in Formosa versus my 1st day in Biz on this one,just to be fair. Da Vienna however has some room for improvement when it comes to this (i am not saying it isnt good tho,just not as good).
Hope that helps a little.
