Singapore Travel Tips 2019: 11 Things to Know Before Visiting Singapore!
Just wanted to share a few things i learned during my time in Singapore. Some because i'd done proper research, others because i'd made mistakes and some others well... i guess i just wasn't lucky!
Links mentioned:
Entry in to Singapore / visa Requirements
www.ica.gov.sg/enteringanddep...
For Australian passport holders, you only need a visa for business or tourism if your visit is over 90 days, so for my stay in Singapore, i didnt need to apply for a visa or anything - as long as i had a valid passport, i was good to go.
Singapore MRT Fare guide:
Check how much it costs to commute via MRT / LRT

if you live in Singapore then can you go and tell those street Cleaners in Orchard Road ''cleaning'' does not include attacking visitors with knifes and robbing their belongings.. i think the Singapore Police turn a blind eye to this because the cleaners are ''Malay'' so maybe they just don't want to highlight the issue that is so relevantly hidden and covered up..

Tip: The tissue packet as a table holder might not be the only things Singaporeans use to "chope"(reserve) tables. Umbrellas, water bottles, and sometimes even business passes for office workers. So to be safe try to pick an empty table or just pop a polite question if the seat is taken or not.

As a US physician who travels to Singapore every year, I've always wondered about emergency care. Next trip, I'll have to get over to Raffles, if only to say hello to the ER crew. You guys wouldn't be hiring, would you? Practicing there just might be a dream, but alas, I don't speak Mandarin. Or Hindi. Or Arabic.

Great tips!! My son and I were in Singapore in August, we loved it there and hope to return soon!! Not a tip for Singapore specifically but just for travel in general, pack a little cosmetic pack with over the counter medicines from the Chemist. Things like Cold and Flu tablets, nasal decongestant, panadol, cream for insect bites, bandaids, tablets for gastro (both types ie. To stop the diarrhea and to stop stomach cramps), aspirin, anti-inflammatory etc. That way if you have a cold or get an upset tummy you've got the basics to get you by in case you can't get to a doctor/chemist. Also if you have the kit before you go it means not having to spend money in countries where medicines can be very expensive.

So, I think that this is a really helpful video for tourists coming down to Singapore. The locals are really nice and they'll try to help everyone as much as they can.

Correction, most restaurants charge a 10% service charge and a 7% goods and services tax.(GST). Not all private clinics in Singapore are closed one weekends. They are some who are open on weekends and even public holidays. These clinics are mostly in the heartlands residential areas in the HDB (Housing and Development) areas. The charges varies from $30 plus to around $50 for tourists and locals alike. You can save up to a $100 or more compared to a hospital.

It's not true that all clinics are closed on Sundays. The ones near your hostel may be closed but there are plenty in the neighborhoods that are open during the day on weekends. Consultation + medications for cough/flu/fever should be around a third of what you paid at Raffles.

This local tissue-to-reserve-a-place habit started in the CBD food hawker centres where office workers rush out at noon for their 1hr lunch. Just like a virus, it has spread to hawker centres and airconditioned food courts in malls everywhere. Someone started selling packets of tissues with the word 'Choped' printed on it, where 'Choped' is the local word for 'Reserved'. 😀

Clinics are not really all close on Sunday. There are some neighborhood clinics that are opened for the morning though. Unless you are prepared to travel a bit further, the cost of the clinic is normally 3 to 4 times cheaper than the hospital. Waiting time is slightly longer though, about 1.5 hrs.
@SmallOpenings
@SmallOpenings 4 жыл бұрын
🤣 yeah the tissue is used to "chope" seats is very important to foreigners! Very good point to include! 👍🏻 I think for $100++ at a private hospital, is considered OK. If you go to a public hospital, may be cheaper for singaporeans not sure if there are any subsidies for tourist, but waiting time is a lot longer. In Singapore it is not cheap to see the doctor, most clinics 1 visst will easily set you back at least $50 and above. You will be better off getting some medications from the pharmacies which are open everyday. Even most 7-11 sells some basic medications.

Hi Janice, I'm a Singaporean here. Go to a family clinic that opens 24 hours, the cost range should be around $50 - $100 (depend on the medication), most of the family clinics are usually located at neighbourhood area. Anyway, I will be traveling on my first trip to Sydney next month. Hope you have more recommendation coming up :)

Hawkers Centers are the best place to enjoy nice and cheap foods in Singapore. You can also go to the pharmacy to get your thermometer and medicines when you fall sick here. I always do that for myself and my kids. One more important thing is to bring bottled plain water and make sure to drink enough water when you’re here coz it’s hot here. Our neighbourhood shops also offers nice things that are cheaper than at popular tourists attraction malls. Chinatown, Little India and Geylang Serai also good to buy things whenever you come here. Food and all easily available.

Hi Janice. Tip for tourist who needs to see a GP on weekends or midnight, there is always a 24hr clinics open 365days. Just google "24hr clinics". For "normal" fever like yours it normally costs less than half of what you paid, somewhere between $60 - $80.

There are clinics that open on weekends around residential neighbourhood. Going to the hospital really does cost a lot.

Private GP clinics are opened during weekends too, maybe for half a day and they can be found within our HDB neighborhoods. Next time, you can google and head to the nearest neighborhood where you are staying at.. You probably only have to pay about 1/3 of what you paid at the Raffles Hospital where you went to or less. Another way is to go to Guardian or Watsons, some of them had Pharmacist on duty and they can recommend some over the counter medication for your conditions, without the need to see a doctor and this is even much more cheaper, because the medications may cost under $20 or less depending on what was recommend to you...

Spending four days at SG this coming December on my way to the Philippines for Christmas. Good advice about the SIM card, thank you. Hotels and airbnb are expensive in SG, so the cheaper I can make it the better. Just used the MRT fare calculator, and Changi airport to Chinatown is now S$2.10. Excellent value compared to the subway in London.

Hey Janice great tips. Wish we would have had this before we went. We DO love this town though it is lovely. We never took the MRT bc we found uber to be very reasonable. We did take the bus and found public transportation to be very cheap and efficient!

Tissue is to “chop” the seats so that we can get back with our food and our seat is not occupied by others Going to a polyclinic will be much cheaper than hospital, but longer waiting time. The buses is actually cheaper than mrt so taking bus is a better option and most of the shopping malls and attractions has bus stop which sometimes nearer than mrt stations

You can google many things about Singapore, just make sure to type in "Singapore". Other items used as place holders in hawker centres can be water bottle, keys, even company ID and other personal stuff (but not wallet, this is not Japan) but they risk being stolen so that is why tissue is the most preferred item. We use the term "chope" (verb) to mean you want to reserve the seats eg "let's chope this table".
