Beyond Borders: SG - MY - IN


Asia is truly full of wonders! There’s just too much to do and we only had a limited time to do all of the things on our lists. We only had 6 nights and 6 days to squeeze everything in – without sacrificing too much of our 7K budget target goal – for Singapore-Malaysia-Indonesia. This is a DIY travel itinerary

ACCOMMODATION

New Society Backpacker Hotel | 1874 PHP from Agoda (May 5-8)
Central 65 | 360 PHP from Agoda (We cancel it. It is just for back-up purposes)
Axis Residences | 450 PHP from AirBnb (May 8-9)

TIP

Book your hotel accommodation ahead of time to get much discounted price and if it is possible, check the "Book Now, Pay Later" option for you to have more chances to change your hotel if you found much cheaper or decided to cancel. And please be reminded that, traveling abroad requires you to have your Hotel Accommodation to be presented to our Immigration Officer at the Airport.

May 10 | Welcome to IN
We arrive early in the morning and the first thing we did is to go to Lucky Plaza to exchange money and book a tour for Batam Island. Unfortunately, we're unable to book a tour for it is required to book a day ahead so we decided to go to Vivo City and book a tour at V.I.P Tour for 68 SGD. They were awarded as "The Best Travel Agent" for the 1st Batam Tourism Award Year 2012. It includes the travel tax, round trip ferry and tour around Batam Island (such as Star Moon Cake Lapisday, Vihara Duta Maitreya, Thua Pek Kong, Polo Shop, Golden City, Secret Garden, Lunch at Golden Prawn, Kuda Lumping, Magic Show and Shopping Mall in Batam).
