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.

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

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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