Singapore, a small country that may not boast the natural beauty of our homeland, is unbelievably home to magnificent and elaborately built tourist attractions. Indeed, Singapore has developed its tourist destinations impressively, complete with abundant green spaces. Its transportation system is more convenient than many larger countries, with an extensive and reliable train network ensuring you won’t get lost. Most people can communicate in English, and importantly, the food is delicious and suits Thai tastes.
For those who haven’t visited, I highly recommend making a trip. If you’re unsure where to stay, today I will introduce the most popular accommodation areas. Let’s see which neighborhoods are ideal to stay in and what attractions they offer, providing options to help you make a better decision for your stay.
