What to do in Singapore?

Singapore is a country with a relatively high cost of living. Many people may be concerned about the cost of traveling to Singapore. However, it is important to note that **traveling to Singapore** may not be as expensive as you think. With a little planning, you can save a lot of money on various expenses.

Visit popular tourist destinations

Popular Tourist Destinations

There are many popular tourist destinations, each offering a unique and diverse experience. Visitors can choose their preferred destinations based on their individual interests. Each location is easily accessible via public transportation, providing a convenient and comfortable travel experience.

Indulge in Must-Try Culinary Delights!

In addition to its numerous tourist attractions, Singapore is renowned for its diverse culinary scene. The city boasts a wide array of restaurants offering delectable dishes that go beyond mere deliciousness. Many establishments have garnered prestigious awards, further enticing food enthusiasts to embark on a gastronomic adventure.

Due to the high cost of living, food in Singapore is relatively expensive. A simple meal can easily cost more than 100 Thai baht. However, there are still many affordable food options available. Hawker Food Centres and Food Courts are ubiquitous throughout Singapore, including in tourist areas, shopping malls, and large office buildings. These establishments primarily offer local dishes at affordable prices (2-4 SGD) with a wide variety of options. Notably, the food is delicious and caters to most palates.

Preparing for your trip to Singapore

Currency Exchange for Your Singapore Trip

The cost of your Singapore trip will depend on your travel style and budget. Do you plan to splurge on luxury experiences, or are you looking for a more budget-friendly option? Will you be shopping extensively, or are you aiming to save on every expense?

Even with a limited budget (like yours!), you can still enjoy a fantastic trip to Singapore. However, it's crucial to plan your expenses carefully and exchange your currency before you go. The current exchange rate is approximately 1 SGD = 25 THB.

Flight tickets offer a convenient way to travel, with a flight time of only 2.5 hours from Bangkok to Singapore. This makes for a relatively short journey. Currently, there are several low-cost airlines offering affordable fares, with frequent promotions available. This can significantly reduce travel expenses.

Hotel reservation and return flight ticket If you are worried about immigration and fear that you will not be able to enter the country, do not worry too much. Just have your travel documents ready, such as hotel reservation and return flight ticket, in case the immigration officer asks to see them. Then you can easily pass through. (My sister was questioned by the immigration officer and asked to see her hotel reservation and return flight ticket.)

Transportation Options in Singapore

This section provides an overview of the various transportation options available for navigating within Singapore.

Traveling from Changi Airport to downtown Singapore is most conveniently and economically achieved by taking the MRT. After clearing immigration, follow the Train to City signs to reach the Changi Airport MRT Station (CG2).

Before boarding the MRT, you must purchase a ticket. For tourists, if you do not want to waste time buying single-trip tickets (Standard Ticket) frequently, you can purchase a Singapore Tourist Pass that offers unlimited travel for 1, 2, or 3 days, depending on your needs. However, if you are unsure whether you will get your money's worth, consider the EZ-Link card (12 SGD), a reloadable travel card that can be used on trains, buses, taxis, and even for purchases at 7/11.

MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is a cost-effective and convenient mode of transportation that connects passengers to various tourist destinations in Singapore.

Buses are another convenient and fast way to travel, especially since some tourist attractions are located far from MRT stations. However, buses can still reach these destinations. Taking the bus in Singapore is easy. Bus stops clearly display which bus routes pass by. Payment is also simple: just tap your EZ-Link card at the front door when boarding and again at the exit door when you reach your destination. The fare will be automatically deducted from your card.

Walk, walk, walk... And walking in Singapore may require a lot of walking. Because... tourist attractions are within walking distance of each other, and in some cases, walking may be more convenient than finding an MRT station. Therefore, before traveling to Singapore, you should prepare your body for walking and wear comfortable shoes.

Save on drinking water costs with free drinking water!

Drinking water in Singapore is expensive. A bottle of water typically costs around 1-2 SGD, which is equivalent to 25-50 Thai baht. To save money on water, it's recommended to bring your own reusable bottle. Many tourist attractions offer free drinking water stations with clean, safe tap water. By refilling your bottle throughout the day, you can avoid spending money on bottled water. This simple tip can help you save money on your entire trip.

Book Hotels and Accommodation

Singapore offers a wide range of accommodation options at various price points. Budget-friendly options are primarily located in Geylang, Chinatown, and Little India. These areas typically offer dormitory-style accommodations (Dorms) for a few hundred baht, providing an affordable and comfortable place to rest.

Budget-friendly accommodation options

Budget-friendly accommodation options typically offer basic amenities and often involve shared sleeping arrangements, such as dormitory-style rooms with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. For those seeking more privacy, private rooms may be available at an additional cost. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences and budget constraints.

In this instance, the author opted for a hostel-style accommodation called 5footway Inn Project Boat Quay. This particular branch is situated in the Boat Quay district, offering convenient access to planned sightseeing locations. Additionally, its riverside location provides opportunities for evening strolls. The author booked a small room with a bunk bed, acknowledging its limited space but appreciating the sense of privacy it offered. The cost of approximately 1,500 baht per night was deemed reasonable.

DAY #1: BANGKOK - SINGAPORE

7:00 AM: Embark on the Journey!

This trip... We started our journey early in the morning to maximize our sightseeing time. We opted for an early morning flight with AirAsia, departing around 7:00 AM. The flight was nearly full, with a large number of passengers.

The journey will take approximately two and a half hours. During this time, you can take a nap, as you woke up very early. Get some rest.

9:30 AM. Hello.. Singapore (Changi Airport)

I have arrived safely in Singapore. The weather today is beautiful and sunny, although it seems quite hot outside.

Upon entering the airport building, follow the signs to immigration. Here, things got interesting. My sister, who had never traveled abroad before, was questioned extensively by immigration officials. Her passport was brand new, and they wanted to make sure everything was in order. They even called me over to confirm that we were traveling together and asked for our accommodation booking and return flight tickets. It took a while, but we eventually got through. Don't forget to grab some of the delicious candy at immigration on your way out!

After clearing immigration, continue your journey into the city. The airport may seem confusing, but follow the signs for "Train to City" to reach the MRT Changi Airport Station (CG2).

Purchase an MRT train ticket to the city. You can buy a Singapore Tourist Pass, which offers unlimited rides for 1, 2, or 3 days depending on your needs. However, I would like to purchase an EZ-Link card (12 SGD).

Prepare to travel into the city. Due to the convenience and speed of the MRT, many people are using the service.

11:00 AM: Red Dot Museum / Singapore City Gallery

Red Dot Design Museum

Take the train from MRT Changi Airport Station (CG2) to MRT Tanjong Pagar Station (EW15), the starting point of today's Singapore tour. Upon exiting the station, you will encounter the Red Dot Museum, a striking red building visible from afar. Inside, the museum houses a collection of innovative products that have won the prestigious Red Dot Awards.

At this point, I didn't go inside. It might not have been that interesting to me, and I saw that there was an entrance fee (a bit stingy, haha). So I just walked by and took some pictures outside.

• Singapore City Gallery

Walk a little further from the Red Dot Museum and you will find another important landmark, the Singapore City Gallery, located just across the street. Admission is free, so don't miss this opportunity.

Before entering the exhibition, visitors must register their attendance. For further information, please inquire with the staff.

12:00 PM: Legendary Chicken Rice!

• Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (Maxwell Food Centre)

After visiting the Singapore City Gallery, it was time for lunch. For my first meal in Singapore, I decided to try the famous chicken rice at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, a restaurant located in the Maxwell Food Centre, which is near the Singapore City Gallery. This restaurant serves authentic Hainanese chicken rice, a must-try for any visitor to Singapore. The restaurant is very popular and is almost always crowded during its opening hours.

Upon entering Maxwell Food Centre, one is greeted by a plethora of food stalls and a bustling crowd. The highly sought-after Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is easily identifiable by its long queue, which can sometimes extend outside the center. During peak hours, the wait can be considerable.

The restaurant's management is efficient, with a short waiting time before ordering. To order, customers must approach the cashier on the right-hand side and pay for their food. They will then receive a receipt, which they must present at the left-hand side to receive their order.

Customers can choose from various options, including whole or half chopped chicken, specific cuts, or the familiar plate of Hainanese chicken rice. The plate of Hainanese chicken rice is available in three sizes: Size S for 3.5 SGD, Size M for 5 SGD, and Size L for 7.7 SGD.

A restaurant featured on the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand list

The highlights of this restaurant's chicken rice are the fluffy rice, which is not too oily, and the large, tender chicken pieces. The chicken is topped with a special sauce and served with a dipping sauce that resembles vinegar with a slightly sour taste. The flavor may differ from traditional chicken rice, but overall it is delicious. ... You must try this chicken!

Furthermore, Maxwell Food Centre offers a plethora of other restaurants with unique dishes to tempt your palate. We couldn't resist trying a variety of dishes, each offering a distinct culinary experience.

Situated conveniently near the Chinatown MRT station (NE4), the air-conditioned haven provided a welcome respite from the scorching sun.

3:00 PM Check-in at 5footway Inn Project Boat Quay

Since arriving this morning, I've been carrying my backpack around all day without checking it in anywhere. As I'm only here for two days, I don't have much luggage. I'm carrying a small backpack, which makes it easy to travel around without wasting time looking for a place to store it. It's now 3 pm, check-in time, so I'm heading to the 5footway Inn in the Boat Quay area. I'll be able to rest my legs, store my luggage, and take a shower to cool down before heading out again.

Boat Quay is a renowned nightlife hub in Singapore, boasting a vibrant array of restaurants and entertainment venues lining the Singapore River. By day, visitors can soak in the tranquil ambiance, while evenings come alive with dazzling lights and electrifying entertainment.

Strolling along the riverside, you will eventually come across a sign for the 5footway Inn Project Boat Quay. Be sure to keep an eye out, as the entrance is quite small and easy to miss.

To check in, guests must walk upstairs. The interior pathways leading to various parts of the accommodation are quite labyrinthine.

Upon arriving at the Reception, I checked in. The accommodation is a hostel-style, and I booked a small room with a bunk bed, which might seem a bit cramped. However, it felt quite private. The price was around 1,500 baht per night.

Upon check-in, the staff escorted us to our room. The room was remarkably small, but it was adequate. It had two bunk beds, allowing my younger sister to climb up and sleep on the top bunk while I slept on the bottom.

In addition to the bunk bed, there is also a small storage cabinet beside the bed.

The bedside features a small storage compartment with built-in lighting and an electrical outlet.

The upper terrace offers a lounge area with complimentary tea, coffee, and drinks for guests. The terrace boasts stunning views of the Singapore River and Marina Bay Sands.

4:00 PM. Evening Outing.

Rest your legs when you're tired... and then let's continue our trip.

Walk from 5footway Inn Project (Boat Quay) to the vicinity of Marina Bay to wait for a bus there.

This evening's destination is the Marina Barrage. It's just a short bus ride away. Taking the bus in Singapore is easy. Bus stops clearly indicate which bus routes pass by. To pay, simply tap your EZ-Link card on the reader at the front door when boarding. When you reach your destination, tap your card again at the exit door. The bus fare will be deducted from your card.

Get off the bus at the Marina Barrage stop and walk a little further to reach your destination.

Marina Barrage is a dam that separates Marina Bay from the sea, with a total length of 350 meters. This is a popular spot for evening relaxation, as it features a rooftop park that offers stunning views of the Singapore skyline. It is a must-visit spot for sunset viewing. The area boasts excellent air quality and attracts many visitors who come to relax and enjoy the scenery.

7:30 PM: Enjoy the Light and Sound Show

After watching the sunset, we walked back to the nearby Garden by the Bay to watch the Light and Sound Show, a must-see for any visitor to Singapore. It's recommended to arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.

Garden Rhapsody – Light and Sound Show The Garden Rhapsody light and sound show at Super Tree Grove @ Garden by the Bay

Indeed, the show is as spectacular as being transported into the movie Avatar. The light and sound show is open to the public every day, with two shows per day at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM. Each show lasts 15 minutes and is free of charge.

After the performance at Garden by the Bay concluded, I swiftly retraced my steps, passing through Marina Bay Sands to reach the opposite side.

At Marina Bay Sands, there is also the SPECTRA – LIGHT & WATER SHOW, where people gather to watch the show according to the schedule. It is recommended to plan your visit for each show so that you can watch all of them.

SPECTRA - LIGHT & WATER SHOW at Marina Bay Sands

The SPECTRA - LIGHT & WATER SHOW is a stunning display of light, sound, and water located at Marina Bay Sands. The show runs daily at 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, with an additional show at 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Each show lasts 15 minutes and is free to watch.

Evening views from Marina Bay Sands offer a relaxing atmosphere.

10:00 PM: Late-Night Bite Before Bed at China Town

There is no text to translate. Please provide the text you want me to translate from Thai to English.

Take the train from Marina Bay Sands station (DT16/CE1) to Chinatown station (NE4/DT19) to grab a bite to eat before bed.

The atmosphere of China Town at night is lively.

Emerging onto Smith St., the heart of Chinatown, you'll find a plethora of restaurants.

We decided to try some local food, starting with fried carrot cake. Despite its black and white appearance, it was surprisingly delicious.

Fish Balls with Soup (Singapore Fishball)

This menu features Satay, available in a variety of options including pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, and more.

After a satisfying meal, take a leisurely stroll through the vibrant Boat Quay district, soaking in the dazzling lights and colors before retiring for the night.

After a long day of exploring, it was time to return to my accommodation. I was exhausted and eager to rest. I was so tired that I wanted to go straight to bed. The next day promised more sightseeing and walking, so I needed to get an early start. I quickly showered and went to sleep. Good night... Zzzzz..

DAY #2: SINGAPORE

06:00 AM: Morning at Marina Park.

I woke up early today to visit the Merlion, a Singapore landmark, with fewer crowds. Walking here in the early morning provides a pleasant atmosphere and indeed, there are very few people. I can comfortably stroll and take pictures.

Merlion, the iconic symbol of Singapore, is a majestic statue located at Marina Park. This captivating landmark, a must-visit for any visitor to Singapore, features a lion's head and a fish tail, perched atop crashing waves.

Sitting here at this time of day feels really chill. The weather is pleasant, not too hot, and there aren't many people around. I can take photos wherever I want. It was worth waking up early. (After about half an hour, the place was packed with people, like a tour group had arrived.)

Take a stroll to the nearby Cavenagh Bridge, a historic bridge spanning the Singapore River.

Furthermore, this area features the impressive "People of the River" sculptures, life-size bronze castings that add a touch of artistic flair to the banks of the Singapore River.

8:00 AM: Capture Chic Street Art at Haji Lane

• Haji Lane

Early in the morning with few people, we hurried to another place by taking the train to MRT Bugis Station (DT14) and then walked a little further to Haji Lane, another popular spot that is a must-visit.

Haji Lane: A Chic Alleyway Awaits

Haji Lane, a narrow street teeming with shops and trendy cafes, offers a vibrant atmosphere for exploring unique art, indulging in coffee and diverse beverages, and capturing stunning photos amidst the eye-catching street art adorning the buildings.

The most striking piece of street art in this area is the outer wall of the Mexican restaurant Piedra Negra, which is covered in vibrant, hippie- and tribal-style paintings by Colombian artist Jaba. Since it's early in the morning, there's no one around, so you can take photos of the street art at your leisure.

• Arab Street

Arab Street and Haji Lane: A Cultural Hub in Singapore

Arab Street, situated in close proximity to Haji Lane, is a vibrant hub that embodies the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Arab community in Singapore.

10:00 AM: Breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast (Far East Square)

To continue our search for breakfast, we headed to Ya Kun Kaya Toast (Far East Square). We alighted at MRT Telok Ayer Station (DT18) and walked for another 240 meters. Ya Kun Kaya Toast has several branches throughout Singapore, but I wanted to try the first branch, so I had to come to Far East Square, which is not far from Chaina Town.

Ya Kun Kaya Toast: A Singaporean Breakfast Staple

Ya Kun Kaya Toast is a popular breakfast spot in Singapore, offering a light and flavorful morning meal. The highlight is the kaya toast, featuring fragrant and buttery kaya spread paired with perfectly soft-boiled eggs. This combination is a beloved breakfast choice for both locals and tourists.

Ya Kun Kaya Toast offers both indoor and outdoor seating. For a cool and comfortable dining experience, choose to sit inside. If you prefer to enjoy the atmosphere and sip your morning coffee outdoors, you can choose to sit outside. Once you are seated, a staff member will bring you a menu to choose from. It is recommended to order a set that includes toast, soft-boiled eggs, and a drink, which provides a complete meal in one order. Once the food is served at your table, the staff will collect payment immediately.

The Art of Kaya Toast: A Culinary Delight

The proper way to enjoy Kaya Toast involves a specific ritual. First, a dash of pepper is added to the soft-boiled egg, followed by a gentle stir to ensure even distribution. Next, a slice of toast is dipped into the egg, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The combination is surprisingly delightful, especially when hunger pangs are present. While the price may seem a bit steep, the experience is undoubtedly worth it!

After finishing breakfast, I returned to my accommodation, 5footway Inn Project (Boat Quay), to rest from the heat, shower, and pack my belongings before checking out.

12:00 PM Lunch: Trying "Bak Kut Teh" at Song Fa Bak Kut The

Initially, I planned to check out, leave my luggage at the accommodation, and go sightseeing in the afternoon. However, on second thought, I was reluctant to return to collect it later, and it seemed like a waste of time. So, I decided to carry my backpack with me on my outing. After all, I didn't have much luggage.

And since I had to walk to MRT Clarke Quay Station (NE5) anyway, I took the opportunity to try the famous "Bak Kut Teh" at Song Fa Bak Kut The (Clarke Quay).

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is a popular restaurant with long wait times, especially during peak hours. It is recommended to visit during the day to avoid long queues. After a short wait, you will be seated at a table. While waiting, the staff will provide you with a menu to order your food. Once your turn arrives, you will be seated at your table, and your food will be served promptly. Payment is required upon receipt of your food.

A restaurant featured on the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand list

Braised Pig's Trotter 7 SGD

Pork Ribs Soup 7 SGD

The highlight of this restaurant is that the staff will continuously refill your bak kut teh soup, without any limits. The key to their success lies in the flavorful and spicy bone broth. Enjoy it with hot rice for a truly satisfying experience!

13:00 Fort Canning Park Take a photo at the popular corner!

This afternoon, I continued my exploration by taking the train to Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station (CC1) to visit Fort Canning Park, a popular photo spot located a short walk from the station. The entrance is marked by a small tunnel.

Fort Canning Park is a significant historical landmark in Singapore. Due to its strategic importance during World War II, old fortifications can be found within the park. The surrounding atmosphere is lush and verdant, making it an ideal place for relaxation. This location also offers popular photo spots.

2:00 PM Sentosa Island

There is still time to visit Sentosa Island. Take the train to HarbourFront MRT Station (NE1/CC29).

Sentosa Island is a one-stop destination for fun and entertainment activities. There are several ways to get to Sentosa Island, including taking the bus or the popular Monorail (4 SGD) or cable car, which is a bit more expensive. However, if you want to save money, you can also walk to the island, which is about 700 meters away. You can cross for free, no charge..

On Sentosa Island, you will find Universal Studios Singapore, a world-class theme park that is a dream destination for many. For those who want to visit Universal Studios, it is advisable to arrive early in the morning to maximize your time and experience all the rides. Due to the high ticket prices, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance through an agent to get a better deal than buying them at the entrance. However, I did not actually go inside this time...55+ As it was already afternoon, it wouldn't have been worth the ticket price as I mentioned. But...the reason I stopped by was to take some pictures in front. That's good enough for me, 55+

Traveling within Sentosa Island

The most convenient way to travel within Sentosa Island is by Monorail (4 SGD). However, it is recommended to walk from the mainland to the island for the outbound journey. Once on the island, you can use the Monorail for free, both for traveling to different stations within the island and for your return trip. This can save you a significant amount of money.

The True Merlion Tower – Merlion is another Merlion statue located on Sentosa Island. This statue is the larger of the two, standing at 37 meters tall.

The monorail terminates at Beach Station, which is adjacent to the beach and offers direct access to the shoreline.

Sentosa Island boasts three beaches: Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach, and Tanjong Beach. These beaches offer a variety of recreational activities, dining options, and relaxation opportunities. (However, rain is currently falling.)

Souvenir shop to find souvenirs to take home

After exploring Sentosa Island to our satisfaction, we boarded the Monorail to leave the island. The ride was free, which was a pleasant surprise.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

After a satisfying dinner of frog porridge, I took the MRT back to the airport, getting off at Changi Airport Station (CG2). I then quickly checked in and went to the gate to wait for my flight. Inside the gate, there were free electric foot massagers available. This was a great way to relax, as my legs were feeling very tired after two days of heavy walking. I felt like I had walked a lot, and I was definitely exhausted.

Although a trip duration of only 2 days and 1 night may seem short, it is still possible to have a fulfilling experience within this timeframe.

This trip was a short but enjoyable and worthwhile one. I finally got to try various delicious dishes that I had been wanting to for a long time. This was also my first time visiting Singapore, and I was impressed by many things, especially the public transportation system, which provides easy access to major tourist attractions. Many attractions are also free to enter, making a trip to Singapore an affordable option for everyone.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

As for "Singapore", we'll see... we'll definitely meet again!
