Hi Bro Temo,here is my break down to your questions,provide you don't drink(no KTVs) and no sea food (cigarette is cheap) :

1. Ferry : S$48.00

2. Hotel : 1 Star hotel around Formosa Hotel cost around S$20.00+ per night ,decent Newbie Hotel Formosa about S$60.00+ per night.

3. Overnight Girl : S$88.00 to S$155.00 (600k - 1.2 juta + tip 50k - 200k)

4. Massage : S$7.70 to S$9.90 without special service (70k to 90k)

5. For food/drinks :

a. Breakfast in Formosa Hotel is free (no breakfast for 1 star hotel)

b. Fast food in Nagoya Hill Mall : about S$7.00 per pax

c. Meals in Food court area : about S$6.00 per pax (inclusive drink)

d. Meals in Hotel : about S$11.00++ per pax

6. Travelling around : about S$3.30 per trip by taxi (30k rupiah), S$2.20 per trip by Motorbike aka Ojek (20k rupiah)

7. Shopping : Depends on individual - suggesting about S$50 per day.

You may wish to add up the cost on your own. And there shouldn't be any hidden cost on the above unless you do something out of the ordinary (eg. kena chop carrot head and/or over tip anyone and/or kena extorted by gangster/custom/authorities)

I hear it is South East Asia biggest temple. If go to this temple will need to cater more time to explore in it (an hour or so) as there are many statue of Deity and Buddha inside. I think got many vegetarian food too.

Anyone knows if there is any other massage parlour near formosa hotel that provide special,beside King's Massage? Care to recommend a few?

thx
Thank you for finding the guide useful. As for massage with special,opposite Formosa Hotel got quite a few "visible" massage place. Walk there,circle around that building,you should see nearly a dozen Massage Parlour all within visible view.

As long as you follow bro NewYorker88's advise as quoted below to avoid those massage shop without special,you should get what you need in any other massage shop.

FJ - 200K onwards


Hotels massage places ( usually better looking gals, Higher class)

HJ - 150K onwards
FJ - 300K onwards

High end spas( Delta, altalanta, Trinity, etc.... with SYT or better looking ones)

HJ- 250K onwards
FJ - 400K onwards


Of cos, these are prices I would give as I speak bahasa and nego it down, knowing the rates around. If you are a foreigner, and does not speak Bahasa be prepared to be chopped. They know you are outsider, you can pay
