Planning for my first self trip to balai tml, any bro or sifu can advice if it is too late to buy the ticket on the spot? Can't seems to find any way to buy the ticket online

Same for the hotel, wish to take maxi, but seems no online booking portal available

Wondering how your guys doing the pre-booking? Fret that when I reach there all hotels full housed when I try to do the booking

As for the port tax 60k rp, do they accept sgd instead? Port tax need to pay when enter tbk only right? Not needed for the return trip?
