Came back last nite. Great disappointment too! Dont think I will ever go TP again. Coming out after immigration clearance and meeting those blood sucker drivers is one thing. Later part of the day realised all joint closed!
Luckily managed to get a Fr although limited choice. Think I will cheong and stick to Balai/Batu/Batam. Former two much cheaper.
As to your question, Batam not so bad. Karaoka joints available. Balai also quite alright though Phuakang was closed. Batu still the same, like 5yrs back.
