If i book online from Sindo round trip.
Does all hotel do confirmation/validate the ticket(timing) for return to SG or can only do at the Sindo ferry counter?
Does they check the pedulilingi app, don`t feel like registering.
Thanks

Nice review of hotels

Just tried pheonix spa, good selection of ceweks. Pick from TV your girl and then a full proper massage i had which was fairly good, like not just piano kind then pop the question or like octopuss only for the deed. Paid 1m for the extras to the therapist which I didn't have enough cash for.. awkward cause i thought everything was settled at the counter which came with a good B2B massage and the action.

Another 800k downstairs to the cashier. One thing is that no need to tell the cashier you want B2B cause it comes with the 1m you secretly paid the therapist for to avoid double charging for same service. Left a happy man.

Hi all,

Just a reminder that to avoid Newton at all costs if anyone invites you for a drink.

Cos it's dealing with hard stuff that you will regret.
So better to be careful than be sorry.

1 hr massage + B2B and full lor. Can't deny i overpaid just that when she teased me by touching me during the message but she young, slim and looked good my main brain stop functioning so when she asked for 1m i never thought to negotiate

H89 hv been heavily used by sg tour operators as one of their packages tour hotel...
And even if the package tour tourists don't stay at H89. They also bring them there for massage. At time if over capacity they would use IndoThai just few steps away.

In fact, there are very high chance for one to see many sg tourists in whole Penuin area.

That one of the reason for me to visit Bailong early in the morning.
Also another reason is I got to get my pig kidney and blood before it sold out.

Sorry is not that short already... the road beside the smelly "longkang" is blocked at the RM Budi Mulia end..

And their respective money changer shops in one single (orange) building.
Good information for those who needs it.

Never notices the 5 color before.. so now more easily to identify.

Weeks ago took a walk at Sintai.
Now no more entry ticket but guards still there.
surprise to see quite a good line up
Unfortunately can take photos/video

Can't "tahpao" unless you want to leave some personal ID doc there.
ST 200k1s, 300K 2s

Some update on the road trip..
The Barelang T junction has become a roundabout. All stalls, include the row of RM Batak(dogs meat) all gone.

The cross junction lead to SKP aslo become roundabout.

Road wider and condition good.

Extra Advice
This area meanly cater for shipyard workers. Batter to hv a local to guide you in.

tried octopuss this round and there were sooooo many Singaporean men in the spa. Same style, mami parade but significantly lesser girls or maybe cause i went through peak hour. Maybe some of you have even seen my face.

only paraded 3 girls when i was there, none to my liking, soaked in sauna awhile and then the told me they added one more from plat, looks 30ish but relatively good figure. lazy to go elsewhere so took it for 1.2m. did give me a short bj when in the tub but half of time svc level like sian. not sure if too many customers or what.

rendezvous with colleagues for meal and then they wanted to do shopping. said not my style and went to hallo kitty, 800k+ can call them down to parade and boom, left a happier man after doing the deed with a relatively fair 25+ cewek.
