budget things not best, best things are not at budget prices.. so which u want?

u can check out the running thread on singapore.... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/699515/+1080

Sentosa have budget hotel?
Best environment hotel in Sigapore all 4 to 5 star.

I plan to go to sg this october , can anyone here suggest what train need to take from KL , and what is the budget for two ppl?

Just going for two days.. i think i already have the idea on what activity i might do during my holiday. just dun have the idea bout this transporting. TS dont state the train info on page 1 either so kinda stuck. Help is appreciated tq

Since it's only for 2 days, i suggest you take a flight instead. Airasia flies you to SG for only RM39 in Oct. It's even cheaper than taking a coach and you save 4 hours.
And if you are referring to the KTM train, please forget about it. It takes around 8 hours. Not worth of your 2 days.

By Train to Singkapo from KL? You will lose a day just going by KTM! Which is why it's not many people's mode of transport to Singkapo.

from KTMB website, better you take night train and opt for bunk bed so that you can have a good night sleep+rest....arrive in singapore ready to travel......

KTMB train schedule

which is better?

Value Hotel - Thompson

or

Hotel 81 - Osaka

i need a budget hotel that's good for 2 and near to the public transport. thx

What makes you pick these 2 hotel?

When you say public transport means what? Taxi or MRT or Bus?
Value Hotel@Thompson is not near to MRT. The nearest MRT, Novena, is too far for me to walk. So is Hotel 81@Osaka's
Paya Lebar MRT station is 15 minutes away on foot!!!

any1 been to sands skypark? izzit worth to pay a visit since it costs sgd10, quite exp

Please recommend me a hotel in Singapore where it is near to MRT Station.
And with a budget of below RM200/night.

So far I have researched a handful of hotels (varies from 2 star to 3 star), to name a few, there're Hotel Bencoolen, Value Hotel Balestier, Fragrance - Rose Hotel / Oasis Hotel, Aqueen Hotel Balestier, the downsite is, they are far from MRT, mostly required about 15-min walking distance to the nearest MRT.

KTM worth it unless you are a light sleeper.. Travel at night, reach singapore early morning. You can spend more time in SG this way but the only problem is have to wake up very early 6 am-ish at both sides immigration, etc...

not $20 meh?

There's 2 fragrance hotel outlets near Lavender MRT. About 7 mins walking distance. Lavender is just 1 stop away from Bugis, and just 2 stops away from City hall. not sure how much, and can't recall their names now though

yes Skypark is $20, and no time limit, 360 degrees view. I say it's worth it. I suggest if you want to go there, go in the late afternoon, the view from 6-8pm is the best . The casino is good too.

Thanks for the input, wlcling.

Wow I wonder has any couple try this before:

Full Butler Sky Dining. ( From $249++ per couple)



http://www.singaporeflyer.com/en/tickets-g...sky-dining.html

Hi guys, I'll frequent this thread more often when I have time and try to help answer some queries. For those who are coming after Nov, from December onwards, I'll be able to give tours around the island.

panasonic88: if you can afford the butler sky dining, it's worth a try, it's the best time to go at around 6-7, for about an hour, you might be able to see the sunset. It's romantic and the food & experience is worth all the money.

The Flyer being the highest Ferris wheel in the world which is quite similar to London Eye, only better is definitely worth a try. But some people who cannot afford it will give it a miss. I would say, if you come here for honey moon, the flyer, and the cable car are two rides not to be missed.

Wow you are so hospitality

Altenatively, one may just pay RM68 ($29.50) for a 30-min magnificient skyline view experience.

yes, just without the food. So i suggest, for those who are poor like me, to go for the ride only.

^^ having said that, the Skypark at Marina Bay Sands might be a better choice to view the skyline, since it is 360 degrees, unlimited duration, and about 10 storeys higher, free to walk around, and cheaper, for S$20.

Yes.

Universal Studio, Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands Sky Park are in my upcoming itinerary.

yes good choices!

I'll be able to recommend more places if you need and if I know your age group, budget, and interests. Like where to go for shopping, clubbing, sight seeing, leisure, for family orientated, etc. This is what I plan to cater to those who wish to come after November, customised tours, only after my exams when I'm free.

i tot only S$10 for skypark...but looks like is highly recom here

Hotel Bencoolen is easily the best there, u can easily walk to 3 different MRT stations of different lines : Bugis (Green), Dhoby Ghaut (Red, Purple), Bras Basah (Yellow).

well i'm not saying the stations are juz right at the doorstep, but its definitely walking distance.
