Our journey began at Krabi Airport, heading to Singapore. We scored cheap tickets from AirAsia, with a roundtrip price of 2,200 baht per person. We also booked accommodation through Airbnb, securing a room near Berdok, just 3 Mrt stations away from the airport, for a total of 2,200 baht per person for 3 nights. With our flights and accommodation secured, we were ready to embark on our adventure.
Upon arriving at Singapore's Changi Airport around 2 pm, we proceeded to immigration to present our passports for entry clearance.
After clearing immigration, we looked for the Skytrain to T2 sign to purchase our tourist passes and take the train to our accommodation.
Inside Terminal 2, the general layout is as follows. To find the tourist pass sales counter, walk to the far right side of the building and take the escalator down. Look for a small booth on the left-hand side where the passes are sold.
The card is available in three options: a one-day pass for 10 SGD (250 ฿), a two-day pass for 16 SGD (400 ฿), and a three-day pass for 20 SGD (500 ฿). A 10 SGD deposit is required, which is refundable upon returning the card at the counter. This card provides unlimited travel on buses, MRT, and LRT, making it a cost-effective option, especially for those staying in suburban areas where spacious and affordable accommodations are available.
We opted to stay in this area because it only takes 20-30 minutes to reach various landmarks by MRT.
Singapore's MRT system is comparable to Bangkok's, offering convenient and efficient transportation with multiple routes and minimal traffic congestion. Embark on a journey through the Lion City, starting with Gardens by the Bay. Take the green line from Berdok and transfer to the yellow line at Bayfront station. Follow the signs to reach the gardens. If you wish to witness the light and sound show, it takes place at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm.

Singapore's iconic skyline offers a breathtaking spectacle of architectural marvels. Visitors can admire the dazzling display from designated seating areas or simply gaze upwards in awe. The abundance of seating ensures a comfortable viewing experience for all.
The Dragonfly Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that leads to Gardens by the Bay. As you walk across, don't miss the opportunity to capture some stunning photos.
The view from the bridge offers a glimpse of the back of the Marina Bay Sands hotel.
On the first night, we ended our day with a stroll through the Marina Bay area before returning to our accommodation.

After enjoying tea, coffee, and pastries, we set out for breakfast at Berdok Mall. This mall offers a wide variety of restaurants with prices ranging from $3 to $8 per person per meal.
We then embarked on our journey to Sentosa Island by taking the green line and then transferring to the purple line of the MRT. We disembarked at Harbourfront Station and walked into the shopping mall, following the signs to the top floor to access Sentosa Island.
As you ascend, Sentosa Island comes into view, greeted by a dense downpour. Embrace the rain, for it is an inevitable companion during the monsoon season.
We opted to walk across to the island. As we made our way, a heavy downpour began. Fortunately, the walkway was well-equipped with a roof, keeping us dry. Regardless of the rain's intensity, we remained unfazed and continued our stroll in comfort.
We did not enter Universal Studios, but only walked around and took pictures of the surrounding area.

Peeking inside, you'll find a variety of amusement park rides, just like any other theme park.

As we were happily taking photos, a heavy downpour started, so we decided to try KFC Singapore to see how it compares to our local KFC. The food was decent, with tasty sauces and crispy chicken similar to what we have back home. However, the sauces had a different flavor profile, and the prices were slightly higher than at other restaurants. Overall, it was a satisfactory experience.
After a hearty meal and the rain subsiding, we continued our journey. Sentosa was enough for us, as the heavy rain made us reconsider. We decided to head back to Chinatown for a stroll instead.
On the way back, I came across this adorable merlion cub. I just had to capture a few photos.
Candyland also has cute corners for us to take beautiful pictures.
After leaving Sentosa, we took the same MRT line (purple) to Chinatown Station.
After spending a considerable amount of time taking photos and shopping for souvenirs, we continued our journey to Little India via the same Mrt line.

After taking photos of the streets, buildings, and houses in this area, we decided to try some Indian food. The taste was okay, but if you don't like the smell of spices, you probably won't enjoy it. As for us, everything was delicious, or maybe it was because we were hungry. After we were full, we had the energy to continue. The last stop of our trip today was Raffles Place to find the Merlion, an important landmark of this city.
Raffles Place MRT Station
As we walk towards the Merlion, we pass by the Fullerton Hotel. The Merlion is located behind this hotel.
As evening approached, we relaxed and took some casual photos while waiting to capture the nighttime atmosphere of the area.
This evening, we ended our day by relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere along the Singapore River.

On the morning of the 3rd day, we returned to Raffles Place Station to capture daytime photos of the area.
We then took the Green Line MRT to Bugis Station to visit the Sultan Mosque, the largest mosque in Singapore.
From Bugis Station, walk towards Raffles Hospital. Follow Victoria Street until you reach the end of the hospital building, where you will find Arab Street.
The streets were lined with Arabic and Malaysian restaurants, so we couldn't resist trying some Arabic food. It was delicious and very filling. We finished with a mango lassi, which was so good that we forgot to take a picture.
After a satisfying meal, we took a leisurely stroll to aid digestion. The area boasts numerous artistic corners perfect for photo opportunities or enjoying a refreshing beverage in a relaxed atmosphere. A diverse selection of shops caters to various tastes, including those seeking traditional Arabian attire.
Feeling the effects of our walk, we decided to rest our weary legs and indulge in afternoon tea and pastries. Refreshed, we continued our journey to the next station, Orchard. We boarded the green line of the MRT and transferred to the red line at City Hall station, finally arriving at Orchard station.
My favorite brand, but not the jewelry. I love their perfume, especially the collections that come out with their jewelry. The jewelry is also beautiful, but I can't afford it myself. @_@
This area is also suitable for big spenders, because if you get lost here, you will probably get something to take home. There are all brands to choose from until you are dizzy. As for us, we just walked around because we didn't intend to shop. After shopping with our eyes, we took a car back to Merlion again to take a sunset cruise and see the city of Singapore by water. The ticket price is 25 SGD per person. (625 ฿)
The boat we are on will be like this.
Singapore Cityscape from Our Cruise Today
The weather was perfect for sightseeing today, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. We took a leisurely cruise along the Singapore River, enjoying the stunning cityscape from a different perspective. The walk back to our hotel was a bit tiring, but we managed to cover an impressive 8-9 kilometers (according to my iPhone).
On our last day in Singapore, we explored the Berdok Mall and did some souvenir shopping. We also spent some time browsing the duty-free shops at Changi Airport before our flight. By this point, we were quite exhausted from all the walking, so we decided to relax and enjoy a leisurely meal at the airport instead of dragging our luggage around any further.
