Anyone tried rent a tent and camp overnight on the East Cost Park?
How much to rent a tent per day/night?

If you want to go, may be you should search online for packages, it should be cheaper than walking price as it comes with other stuff (deal.com.sg/Groupon/plus deal sites, etc..). Been there last month, gave the skywalk a miss due to heavy human traffic. They only allowed certain number of people to be up on the bridge. So you have to queue and wait. As for both the conservatories (Flower Dome/Cloud Forest), not bad and I particularly like the Cloud Forest.

Queue to enter, design for all to walk down the entire waterfall from the top all the way downwards towards the ground level. Flower Dome - plenty of flowers in an air-con control environment. Don't worry about the heat, you won't feel it except when you are outside both of them.

I went there mid afternoon and spend most time inside both the Conservatories, came out late 5+pm and decided to gave up skywalk as queue time was some 1hr and weekends closed slightly later. Went over to MBS for dinner after that. Do note that there are many local tours being organised by local residence committee at very cheap price that comes with some food. Unless you know someone here and can find such lobang, other wise, go online search for promotional discount. Some part of the park is not ready. Just last week, it was announced that plan for children playground will start work soon at the park to be completed by 2014. So now you know why certain areas are not ready yet.

Added on October 18, 2012, 9:09 pmBring you own tent. if you really keen on that, make sure you camp near toilet facility. Some areas are more popular than others because there are other amenties around, like food, Macdonald, etc... please check as there are changes to such amenties, not been there for long time, so information may not be updated. However, you just can't camp out like that, you to apply for permit to stay camp there.

You can also camp at Changi beach too (Changi Point).

yea, they wont even look at the P

hi, im going to singapore end of this month and i already book the fragrance hotel in geylang since it is the most cheapest one for hotel. is there any tips that u guys can share since we are in large group.(29people).please share some thought.

Just made a trip to S'pore for a two day one night trip using the causeway for the very 1st time.When we arrived in JB,we ask some direction to the Woodlands/checkpoint compleks n we were told to use the Johore City Centre way.From observation there were lack of signbrds n ppl in the compleks were also not that familiar.We did manage to arrived at JB Sentral n try to ask some Malaysian Tourist officer n a policemen on duty but they were not much help neither.Finally when we pass the Malaysian custom again we were not sure which bus lane to take across the border.Two lines of lanes were provided but without much info n when we ask some bangla guys that mans the stationary booth we were told to wait at 170.We took the bus without paying but we did managed to go across.Finally we reach S'pore in one piece.Btw if happen in S'pore make sure you ask the right person or ask another person just to double c'firm.Either we dont speak Singlish or too much forieigner r found in S'pore.

hey guys, my frens wanna go outing with me to singapore, but his passport is going to be expired less than half month, is it possible to access the custom? and we r just a secondary student haha

Pasport wise, wherever u wanna travel in the world, u need at least 6 months validaty on it.

ahh is anyone going USS coming weekend?
was wondering how the crowd will be .. cuz its public holiday (raya haji) on fri.. afraid that its gonna be a long queve for the rides :/

Planning driving car to Sg, prefer Hotel 81 Rochor but heard that no car parking available with this hotel. Any hotel with this budget & area with provide car parking?

With regard to your 170 bus journey. It is a night mare isn't it? But of course, if you know that you have to cross the causeway and into SG to clear SG custom, you should have known that all buses regardless of which one, must STOP at SG Custom, go onto the custom platform to clear and then get into SG. From there, get onto whatever bus for your onward journey. Many people didn't think of that. Just got onto any buses to get into SG, doesn't matter what bus, even including those factory buses, they may let you on for a small fees ( had not tried that for many years).

Both 160/170 or 950 buses are using Ezlink card for travelling, just tap the card and the card value will be captured till you exit where the actual deduction will be made known. For those yellow buses, mostly have to pay cash. Only SG buses like 160/170 uses link card. Don't really need to know which queue you are in, all the same when either bus arrives, the inpsector will let both queue to board the bus. As far as I know, travelling within the casueway between both countries, the fare is actually suspended = No Charges but you need a valid card or depending on the driver. You should have asked prior to your departure.

First time is like that. Once after 2-3 tries, you'll get the hang of it.

Normally from JB, I prefer 170 at Larkin. Stop at JB immi, get down, cross JB immi, queue up any 170 and board again.
Then stop SG, get down, cross SG immi, queue up 170 and board again, make sure choose the right one (Kranji/Queen road).
Then normally I get down at Kranji MRT.

Every time board, must tap EzLink. Before get down, tap again.

If you drive car into Singapore.
Can drive all the way to Changi airport to "makam" too. if you don't mind the 20 minutes journey drive from town center to the airport.
There are terminal 1, terminal 2, terminal 3.
All terminal has food stores.

Hi guys will be visiting Singapore alone. Can please give tips on where should i stay & also where is the hot place to hang now? Bcs my budget for whole trip on RM2000...

I am planning to go SG this coming Christmas week. We're thinking of driving there since there'll be 4 of us but my concern would be how expensive would it be to park in SG? Are there any places with fixed full day parking price or similar?

If I drive to Sgp, I usually choose either Hotel York or Hotel Royal. Parking for guests are FOC.

You use your Autopass to gain access into their parking lots. When you exit, you ask the hotel reception to give you a coupon that you scan at the parking exit on your way out.

I plan to attend the S'pore AFA in 2 weeks time.. 10-11Nov. Would put one night there.. so.. anyone knows any cheap/budget place to stay which is near the S'pore EXPO ?

Oh, the problem is I already have accommodation at my friend's place just that I don't have a parking lot. That's the problem. Worse come to worse, may resort to taking bus down instead
