If you have an overnight girl with you,she might tell you the "final reason",if she's already been working in Batam for a while.

Nonetheless, i wish and hope you will have a safe and enjoyable Batam trip.

Cheers!

Lol
This should be the mean reason.

Yea,no album. This type of massage shops is like gambling and the bet is usually around 80k to 100k rupiah.

This one you will have to check with them (the spa's receptionist). I usually suggest my friends to stay in that hotel if going to the spa. I think somewhere last year, guest who stayed there can use the facilities for free and we only pay for the massage. As for call to room (not using facilities), if i dont remember wrong, there's an about 25% off last year.

2 years back, there is a Happy hour promotion,and it last for quite many months. I wonder if its still on? The only thing about this promo is, they shortened the happy hour timing,hehehe...

No more already. Today, i wonder what the Telkomsel point can be use for...its totally useless to me. But i think they are more onto T-cash thingy nowaday. And they are going to lose a lot of customers becos of this.

That aside, has the opportunity to check out the in-house spa. It’s called Aaram Spa. Some of pricing is as follow,

Traditional Heritage Massage (60 mins) - Rp198,000
Gentleman Deep Relaxing Massage (60 mins) - Rp225,000
Aaram Twin Girls (60 mins) - Rp325,000

Good info,and thank you for sharing. Now that i have this info, i will be heading there soon, but not to their branch in Amir,hehehe....

This place is more of a Indian style/culture massage, very unlike the usual thai and indo massage. Its worth a try for me who has not try before. Hopefully it lives up to my expectation,hehehe...

PS : i was targeting to stay in "that" hotel of the other branch,so its more convenient to try there than walking the steep slope up Amir,hehehe...

I recall you started using Agoda to book your hotels. Can change the Points for Agoda discount (8%), need to book via desktop browser though.

TCash has 50% cashbacks currently at Alfarmart and Indomaret. Also, on weekends, they have data promo valid for 7 days. For eg, current weekend promo is 25gb for 45k rp. Very worth it if you're there for just 3-5 days.

I am not so much concern on data recently becos i have bought myself a new toy,hehehe...

Other than the Andromax i was talking about in the past,i now had a portable wifi device that takes in all kind of sim cards, even Singapore ones too.

I remember i was talking about andromax just before the CNY 2018 ( https://sammy.services/showthread.php?p=...post1 6937227 ),this year i am kind of upgrading my toy,hehehe....well,i actually screwed my last andromax pretty badly and they are now in "bandage" condition (tho still workable).

The portable wifi device this time cost 800k rupiah, and as the original Telkomsel sim card that comes with it required activation,i dump it and bought another sim card (at 100k rupiah) and its just plug and play.

So each time a sim card expires, i just take it out and dump it away (on a monthly basis since i dont like the idea of registration,hehehe...) and buy a new one. Most time, each sim card wont cost me more than 100k rupiah, and i even have a non-Telkomsel sim card that cost around 70k rupiah. I didnt bother to check how many GBs it provides but i remember its enough for me (somewhere more or around 10GBs).

Now,i can finally work on having surveillance camera all over "my room" and be able to monitor "my room condition" wherever i am outside of my room,hehehe...safety 1st. Beside camera, there are also other "toys" which i can add-on to my game play too.

Hmm...now i have surveillance camera outside my room, i also have camera inside my room. I finally feel safe enough (thats just a joke),hehehe...

PS : There is actually a Hua Wei version, and at a little lower price but i choose not to buy it (at least not for now).

[miumiu6464]

Show me the device if I happen to be in Batam during CNY.

I myself is using this device, Glocalme G3. In addition to having dual SIM slots, it also comes with cloudsim feature. What happens is, once in a new area, it will log on to the local telco with the strongest signal and you get internet access through it. This cloudsim feature is great for me when I'm still doing my part time job that requires me to travel overseas. Instant internet access on landing, no need to fuss around with Sim cards.

Comes with 5000 mAh battery too, so can double up as powerbank for your phone. FYI.
