Been thinking about visiting Singapore and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
