Singaporeans live for three things: bubble tea, temporary menu items at McDonald’s, and great deals.

While bubble tea and Chocolate Pies provide a substantial amount of pleasure, nothing gives us as much joy as scrimping on some purchases.

From here, patrons will be able to see a host of local landmarks such as the durian-shaped Esplanade domes, the Merlion statue, as well as shophouses along the Singapore River.

You probably know about this attraction because 80% of your friends on Instagram have taken photos here.

The attraction, which occupies the former skating rink space, features 4D vision display technology in the form of a magnificent 14-metre tall light sculpture suspended from the ceiling.

More than 401,000 full-coloured LEDs are strung within 608 tubes hanging within the cylindrical sculpture.

This interactive technology also allows users to project pre-programmed 3D objects onto the installation via their smartphones.

Sampan Rides

Sure, it may not be a boat ride in Venice, but a sampan ride along the Canal at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands can make for a nice and romantic ride.

According to MBS, over 22,000 litres of water is released per minute from a skylight two storeys overhead, making for quite an impressive sight.

If you go at the right time, you might also catch a glimpse of the hourly water cascade.

Special tourist visa to Thailand will be available from October

Lobang: https://www.moneydigest.sg/special-tourist-visa-to-thailand-will-be-available-from-october/

Foreign tourists will be able to visit Thailand soon with a special long-stay visa amid COVID-19. Termed as the special tourist visa (STV), it will become available from October to Sep 30 next year. This is part of the government’s efforts to boost the economy, especially the tourism sector.

STV holders will be able to stay in Thailand for 90 days. They may extend the visa twice at a cost of 2,000 Baht (S$87) each time.

Here’s what you need to know about the STV.

STV aims at tourists with spending power

One must be willing to undergo a 14-day quarantine period upon arrival in Thailand. But before that, STV holders must arrange their own trip to Thailand either by a chartered plane or a private aircraft.

Bruno Huber, general manager of Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok, rightly points out, “Private or purpose-chartered flights would be too prohibitively expensive and greatly reduce the number of potential guests. A functioning and attainable commercial flight solution is integral towards any success.”

How to apply?

Those who have both the time and money to spare can apply for the STV with a travel agent. The travel agent will in turn work with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in order to obtain approval from the Thai foreign ministry.

In the application form, applicants must state their Alternative State Quarantine hotel in Thailand for the compulsory 14-day quarantine upon arrival. Currently, there are 74 such hotels nationwide – 69 in Bangkok and 5 in Phuket, Burirum, and Chonburi.

In addition to the above, they will also need to list down their flight details, state their post-quarantine accommodation, and purchase medical insurance for their stay in Thailand. The insurance should have a minimum coverage plan worth USD100,000 (S$137,000).

Upon successful application, a Certificate of Entry (COE) to Thailand will be issued. Applicants can collect the COE from the Thai embassy in their country.

Preparing for travel and arrival

Before travelling, individuals must obtain a fit-for-travel health certificate and a medical certificate stating they are free of COVID-19. The certificate should be issued no longer than 72 hours before departure.

Upon arrival, one will have to go through a health screening. If tested positive for COVID-19, they will be admitted to the local hospital. If all is well, they may proceed straight to their chosen quarantine facility.

STV holders can travel in Thailand after serving their quarantine. But they will need to install a COVID-19 contact tracing app before they can go about their daily activities.

Tourism operators and hotels rejoice with concerns

Daniel Simon, general manager of Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, said that all visitors going to Thailand will help to stimulate the hotel sector. This will in turn help support suppliers from fisherman and farmers to tour guides and small businesses.

“The Thai government’s planned special tourist visa programme is a step in the right direction, but we look forward to more measures which will quickly, but safely, open the kingdom to international travellers once again,” he added.

Pichanan Kongchana from Roast8ry Lab, a café in Chiang Mai, shares that while she believes this scheme would help improve the economy, she’s also concerned about safety.

“We want tourists to visit,” Pichanan said. “But I want the government to issue them some sort of document they can show to us. This way, we won’t have to be worried.”

As of Sep 25, Thailand has carried out 977,854 COVID-19 tests nationwide, according to a spokesperson of the COVID-19 Situation Administration Centre. The country has reported more than 3,500 cases of COVID-19 and 59 deaths. At the time of writing, 117 patients remain in hospitals.

Don’t Say Bojio: Mandarin Orchard Lets You Customise Your Own Staycation From $188

Lobang: https://goodyfeed.com/mandarin-orchard-staycation/

Lest you’re unaware, the current epidemic has rendered travel of nearly every kind, including overseas leisure trips, all but inaccessible.

Which is a notion that has surely disappointed many, many avid travellers.

Image: Facebook (The Projector)

But here’s the thing. Though leisure travel is pretty much out of the equation right now, there are other viable options which allow you to travel and have fun without running the risk of catching the Coronavirus.

Other solutions that stray a little closer to… home.

Yes, folks, I’m talking about local tours, scenic spots in Singapore and staycations…

Particularly customisable staycations, which not only serve as bang for your buck but are also suited entirely to your wants and needs.

Don’t Say Bojio: Mandarin Orchard Lets You Customise Your Own Staycation From $188

According to MeritusMandarin Orchard Singapore has released a staycation package which will make you forget all about that cancelled year-end trip to Perth.

Image: meritushotels.com

Called the “Make-it-your-own Staycation Package”, the offer includes one particularly enticing perk:

It’s fully customisable in accordance with your needs and wants.

According to the website, the package is priced from $188++ per night and entails a stay in one of Mandarin Orchard Singapore’s deluxe rooms.

Breakfast for two is also provided.

And apparently, you can add one of five complementary features at discounted rates to make your staycation an even better one!

Pick from a plethora of sweet-sound offers such as:

  • Their signature, award-winning Mandarin Chicken Rice at Chatterbox for $18++
  • Meritus Club Benefits for two at $80++
  • Late check-out until 3pm for $80++
  • One bottle of Auchentoshan 12 Years for $120++
  • One bottle of Auchentoshan Three Wood for $180++

Now I don’t know about you, but all of them sound endlessly appetising..

Though with perhaps the sole exception of the late check-out option. Sleeping past your usual wake-up timing has never been so costly.

But if you’re feeling up to it, by all means, carry on.

Also, it should be mentioned that the stay period is required to fall before 29 December 2020.

And considering how all Singaporeans aged 18 years and above are set to receive S$100 worth of vouchers for staycations, attractions, and tours in December 2020…

I think it’s safe to say that this is one staycation package that will not disappoint you, whether it’s the fun or expense side.

And So… What’re You Waiting For?

Been immensely troubled by the pandemic and in desperate need of a risk-mitigated, mood-livening getaway?

This is definitely the deal for you.

So book your offer here today.

And it’s time to enjoy your very own unique staycation at Mandarin Orchard Singapore!

Meanwhile, please take note of the following Terms & Conditions:

  • Cancellation or amendment may be made by 2pm (Singapore time), 48 hours prior to arrival. Otherwise, a one-night penalty applies.
  • Stay period must fall before 29 December 2020
  • Access to Meritus Club is only available for guests above 18 years old
  • Rate is subjected to prevailing government taxes and service charge

And with that in mind, I shall see you there. 🙂
