Quick question for the Singapore regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Budget trip to Singapore

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

This matches my experience. Singapore is one of my favorites.

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