Red face Re: Batam, Bintan, Balai Field reports

Hi

YA i went Bintan last yr and wasnt a very nice environment. Heard many hotels and karaokes bankrupted due to the drop in tourists there. There are also not many Sporeans there.

Its like a ghost town at nite and you have to ask the tour agency or hotel to endorse yr return ticket paying them a rate of at least 30000 - 50000RP. I find this ridiculous.

I will stick to BTM though it is a bit expensive.
