Hmm...long time hasnt been to KTM resort. Perhaps some time later,i should pay this place a visit. Coming trip,i shall go check out how much Kaha charge for KTM resort room/s,below pricing are from online which are inclusive of all taxes.
The good about this place :
1. Makes me feel i am REALLY on a holiday.
2. Provides everything from KTV to Spa ,a one stop place for all entertainment and relaxation. (they even have a swimming pool too...lol)
3. Back to nature,away from the busy city lifestyle.
4. Booking girl confirm nowhere to run to,hehehe...as its quite a distance away from Nagoya area.
5. The right timing allows me to view the sunset and sunrise.
The bad :
1. Far away from shopping mall. (not too far from provisions tho,lots of smaller-sized convenient stores outside the resort)
2. If i do not have enough CDs,i will be screwed,hehehe...as there is no 24hr mart in that area. Nearest provision shop is are least 10+ mins walk away.
3. Not all booking joints will allow their girls to be brought there.
4. Not all booking girls will like to stay with their customers there unless they know each other well enough. (those who are willing confirm wont run,hehehe..)
5. Everything in the resort from food to massage are relative more expensive than most other hotels/eateries cos the resort management more or less monopolized the area.
6. Got to be extra careful of thieves,hehehe.. and i am not referring to human thief but monkeys. Lots of them in that area.
If i am going there again,i will need to :
1. Prepare enough provision/necessities.
2. Find a willing girl/joint
3. Plan my programme for the day/evening -
a. Massage at Spa Villa
b.
Guan Yin temple or Monkey God temple visit .
c. KTV to sing some songs (i dont think the KTV has GROs or Mami tho)
d. Maybe a swim in their a-little-salted water pool,then head for the Spa (to clean up as well).
e. A walk in the park/beach.
...beside just going with bonking all the way.
4. Grab a willing full day taxi driver (or i may use the free shuttle service provided by the resort).
5. Plan a 3D2N trip but likely be staying in KTM resort for just 1 night.
I am just planning and consolidating information for myself on what i WISH to do for my later Batam trip/s.

Few questions :
1. Is there a Rex Theatre in Batam? If so,anyone knows where is it located?
2. I would like to bring an entire Desktop PC to Batam which includes the CPU tower,22' LCD monitor,keyboard etc weighing around 20 kg.
a. Is there anything i need to take note on?
b. Can i just walk thru custom via Harbour Bay? Meaning i hand carry them thru custom.
c. Its a used Desktop PC,will i be taxed at the Batam custom?
My plans are,if its too much trouble trying to bring it in,i may dismantle all the parts and bring it in on separate days. And the PC desktop are meant for some school in Batam. I do have another option tho,sell it off in Sillypore and buy the next available better 2nd hand one when i am in Batam (this would be my last resort).
If anyone has answer/s to my above questions,your reply would give me more options. Sincerely thank you.
