The 360 degree executive bar in the Bangkok Hilton (not that one!) has amazing views - I'm not sure if you even need a pass to get up there either.

Yeah the Palace is always closed till 1pm for x reason. More than 3 people tried this on me so it was pretty comical by the end.

Lumpini park is at Silom, right? I'm trying to picture exactly where that is without resorting to google maps - am I close or being retarded?

Ahoy friends, My girlfriend may be offered a 6 month secondment from the UK to Singapore - I'd like to take advantage of this by moving to either there or Bangkok. I'm a Freelance Web Developer by trade, which means I can at least be mobile for a change like this. I have a few questions: 1. Visas: It seems I could probably get away with the 3 month tourist visa in Bangkok, and do a run to renew - but what about Singapore? Any ideas? 2. Places to stay: It seems Bangkok holds all the cards here really. Singapore seems incredibly expensive in comparison. 3. What sort of 'fare' to Singapore am I looking at, should I opt to stay in Bangkok? Thanks for any help guys, and if I do move out there the pints are on me.

Pompous Rhombus posted:If you're under 30 and have, are getting, or will start a uni degree, you can apply for a 6 month working holiday visa in Singapore. I'm 29 with a degree, so thats good news - I'll get started on that link. Basically, her company have a branch over there and she would be brought in to 'examine the cultural and working differences' between the 2 branches. Like you, I had only heard of it in a military scenario, but it seems to fit the purpose at least.

Cheesemaster200 posted:Singapore is actually more appealing to me to be quite honest. In my short time in Singapore I felt like it was more a place I would like to live/work. It essentially "has everything", including diversity, location and a lot more first world comforts. I move to Singapore on Dec 1st, so give me a shout if you end up here! (This also applies to other goons)

Yeah, I've only had it cold, from a bag myself. In a fit of madness down the shops I ended up buying a tin of powder so was trying to work out the best measurement. I think last time I must have used water or something because I just put in three tablespoons and it was rather pleasant! kru fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jul 13, 2012 |

ReindeerF posted:Very old, but a classic: On my 2nd day in Singapore I was looking for a flat with a guy my Girlfriend had hooked me up with called 'Ken'. Unaware that Singaporeans (and the locality) tend to basically state 'Can.' 'Cannot.', 'Got' 'No Got', It was absolutely painful. Driving around the place while I'd ask an arbitrary question which was always got the response 'Can.' I was sitting in the passenger seat of this guys car for 30 minutes, thinking he's just stating his name over and over. It was weird, and I have since become less retated.

My lungs are really getting fed up with my smoking too. I'm heading to KL in two weeks and will stay there for 4 days before heading to Nepal. Please let there be somewhere to get snus. A guy I hung about with in Penang nailed the stuff on a minute by minute basis, so it's there for sure.

I'm still trying to plan out whether I head home back to Scotland for xmas/new year, or spend it away from Singapore - Bangkok being my number 1 'go to'. How many of you will actually be kicking about for a beer/relax across the holiday period? I love a holiday and all, but it's not the same if I dont have Goonbro's for a beer.

Chocolate Milk posted:Sweet, that's very helpful, thanks. What about Singapore? We're spending four days there on the way back and I know it's a bit more expensive. Would we be better off booking online in advance? Singapore will probably kill your budget. There are cheap hostel rooms to be found in the $30/40 night range, but everything else apart from hawker food is pretty outrageous. Picture $12 a normal pint in any non happy hour bar.

The MSJ posted:Escalator coaches? There's something new. You made me realise, though, that coming from Malaysia mall food in Singapore and Indonesia seems all too familiar for me. Actually, this seems to be true for Australia as well. The most foreign mall I've been too is in Saudi Arabia where fried fish seems to be treated as something special. They arn't having enough sex because you have to fulfil a 17 point check-list before it's actually 'OK' in the eyes of the government
