Underrated City in Thailand - Songkhla
Slightly less than an hour's away from #hatyai - #songkhlaoldtown is full of gems and cool cafes. I would say it's a more chill version of heritage sites like George Town or Malacca. You see shophouses, traditional businesses and others.

Singaporean Travels to Hatyai (Is It Cheaper than Bangkok??)
มุมมอง 470หลายเดือนก่อน
A popular destination among Malaysians, especially since they share a land border - I must say it feels less crowded than Bangkok and the food options are amazing. Plenty of #halalfood available since they have quite a sizeable Muslim population. I must say it's cheaper than Bangkok and quite underrated because there's quite a lot of things to do here but I don't really see a lot of Singaporean...

      The Australian PCR test results took about 4 days for me (because I realised they sent the results to the wrong number). Most of my friends got around 24 hours, but in the recent holiday season, I think the turn-around time is 72 hours (you can check the news for latest updates!). On arrival PCR in Singapore, results came out in less than 12 hours.
