You make the best travel vds and I can't believe you did this quality recording on just an iPhone! Your narratives are also sublime. Thank you for all your effort.
First trip to Singapore coming up and I’ve watched loads of totally uninspiring videos - but this one is brilliant ! Great photography and as ever Suitcase Monkey is entertaining, informative and has shown how beautiful Singapore is and I can’t wait to visit now
I have been to Singapore 3 times and loved it. Done all the main sites there and is one of my favourite cities that I have been to along with KL, Bangkok and more
I would love a Universal tips video and am looking forward to pt 2! Great videography and narration, as usual! Thanks for all your work in creating these.
Someone said you make the best travel vids and I couldn't agree more!👏 You truly highlight the location and let it shine🌞 So helpful with all the necessary details we need to know, and never boring with some of the witty remarks injected here and there. I'm a fan!👍 Safe travels to you and your wife and looking forward to watching more from you!🤩
We have been to Singapore many times and it never gets old. You always find something new to tour. You hit all the right notes in this video. Well done mate . Thank you for sharing. Sending you much love❤ from Richmond, VA Jim, Harriet and Yuki
Thank you for covering my home country ♥️ while i think there's nothing much to tour about in SG (good place to live but maybe not play), i enjoyed your video and find it is a nice balance between places that tourists frequent, and showcasing the local food and flavour which is our pride!
I appreciate your videos. First of all, you do your research, you structure them well and your voice is inviting to watch the video in full. I saw your Japan videos and helped me alot for my trip. I am now seeing Sinagpore and Bali to get inspiration for the next adventures.
Thanks for your reviews. Convinced us to go. Great family holiday. The locals are so polite and helpful and the service nearly everywhere was second to none. We found the prices were pretty comparable to here in Australia (except the camera lens I bought which was $400 cheaper!!!). Take lots of SD cards!!! So much to photograph.
You may not know it but the Netherlands was very much and still is associated with the development of Singapore. Albert Winsemius as an economic adviser contributed greatly to Singapore's development. More recently, Dutch engineers are helping with dyke construction to defend against the rising seas.
Your Vlogs always makes me want to travel to that destination! Whenever I want to choose my next destination to travel, I come to your channel! I went to Spain couple years ago and your Barcelona video helped me a lot! Keep up the good work! :)
Oh wow. I’ll have a Malaysia video possibly out by then (we went there after Singapore). Going to Bangkok in a few days actually but probably won’t be filming as need a break!
@@SuitcaseMonkey that is true. I happened to view another video about Singapore recently, and discovered so many distorted articles and even footages of other countries to describe street food in Little India and shop houses in Chinatown! It really looked like an AI generated video.
To be fair, they possibly were. Watching other people’s travel videos (often with more views) can be annoying when the host clearly has little experience of being there and it’s just copied generic text. Oh well.
Skip Raffles Hotel and goto Atlas Bar instead. The interior is beautiful and it is an actual bar and not a tourist attraction that serves pre mixed drinks. Just a short walk up to Hadji Lane after that.
Excellent job on this video! Thank you for shooting in 4K!! Looks magnificent on our 77 inch display!!! Almost felt like I was there. 👍 Now I know that someday I must go there!
@@SuitcaseMonkey Ha! Maybe not for some things. But size sure mattered when I paid extra for this big screen. I love this thing, especially when I find hi rez content (like your video) that makes full use of it!
Well t would be a shame to visit once and not see the main sights. I’d thumb get comments saying ‘I can’t believe you went to Singapore and didn’t see X’. But if I’m going to go somewhere once I wanna see the most popular things usually. Because they are usually popular for a reason. If I go again I’ll see other stuff. Cheers
Very engaging even for this Filipino who has been to SG several times…great job! 👍🏼 Please DO make a hackers’ guide to Universal Studios SG as I’ll be back to that attraction a second time this April 2024. 🙏 Thanks!
Oh yikes. Totally different trips. I know if I had to visit one again it would be Taipei as it’s a larger country so much more to discover whereas Singapore we hit most of the main spots (tho obviously more to see) and it was expensive so you’re money doesn’t go as far
This is a well-curated video and helpful for my first travel to Singapore this coming March. I was amazed by your night shot. May I ask what camera were you using for those shots?
Hey. Everything on this channel is iPhone. This is 15 Pro Max. I don’t do any colour correction but some of the night shots I needed to increase the brightness a little in editing.
Unless you are going for the Grand Prix, if you want to miss busy period, just be careful your dates don’t clash with the Grand Prix. More covered in the follow up Singapore tips video coming in 2 weeks 😀
Yeah as I mentioned in the video I’m not normally a zoo guy and I wouldn’t normally have visited if it wasn’t for it being so popular so I felt I needed to check it out for the video sake to be able to review it. From my limited understanding of animals I didn’t see anything like that but I get you
That was ages ago, I hope you can visit it again in present day as obviously massive changes have been made, and refresh or reinforce your perspective. Discovery walking tour tv has videos of the Singapore Zoo, night Safari, river wonders, bird paradise free for viewing on TH-cam
I don't think I ever said we were going to release that? We were only in Chiang Mai for a week and it was mostly resting time as I'd been filming for 2 months and was exhausted. I do have film for an elephant park day we did so that may be released at some point.
Are you in Singapore right now? I want to visit Singapore in the end of January. But I saw some news that you guys have covid outbreak right now. How is the situation today??
@@РозаВетров-щ8э Yes, there was a rise in cases in december and early january but its pretty much treated like the flu these days. See the doctor, wear a mask , be socially responsible and stay home. No special restrictions, life goes on.
Hi There, with the explorer card, do you pay anything for the actual card? Or do you just get the 33% off, due to buying it through the website? Clarification would be incredibly appreciated :D
Get your guide is not working today, tried several times. Maybe on monday after they fix the software patch. I noted Grab can access the same plans, but only 2, not 7.
Hi suitcase monkey😊. How does the get your guide all inclusive pass work please? Does it mean I can see as many attractions as I can fit in two days? Or is there is a maximum number of attractions I can see within 2 days... I'm confused cos I think I can fit in universal studios and at least 7 others.
Hey. I talk more about it in a follow up Singapore tips video so check that out. But there are two types of the all inclusive one includes USJ and you can see as much as you can within the amount of days you book. Or the other one is just for a set number of attractions and doesn’t include USJ
Been there many times, and my friends sister is a domestic worker there, she tells me that they are very abusive to their workers.

This was so good!!! The editing, the cinematography, the humour ❤ I loved it!!!! Can’t wait to see more uploads. Drink when you’re back 🙂
Oh, hello! Thank you. Yes, sure, just don’t cancel on me lol 😜
We really enjoyed watching this 🤩 Thank you for the awesome video!
You make the best travel vds and I can't believe you did this quality recording on just an iPhone! Your narratives are also sublime. Thank you for all your effort.
Yes to all this
We spent 4 funfilled days in Singapore. After Japan,this is another clean and developed region of Asia .
wow it's just beautiful. I never knew that Singapore has that amazing architecture
Yeah that was one of my favourite parts!
First trip to Singapore coming up and I’ve watched loads of totally uninspiring videos - but this one is brilliant ! Great photography and as ever Suitcase Monkey is entertaining, informative and has shown how beautiful Singapore is and I can’t wait to visit now
Thank you!🙏
Having hard time finding hotels for 3 adults and two kids
Have you checked out the ones I shared in the pdf guide? Those are good areas at least so you could look around there
Same!! I’m going in September and I keep coming back to these Singapore videos for reference. Very very helpful and informative
What an amazing place!
Greetings from Singapore! Thank you for such a great video introducing my home country. 👍🏻
I have been to Singapore 3 times and loved it. Done all the main sites there and is one of my favourite cities that I have been to along with KL, Bangkok and more
Thank you for visiting!!! 🥰
I love love love this!!! As always, amazing video Suitcase Monkey!! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
I would love a Universal tips video and am looking forward to pt 2! Great videography and narration, as usual! Thanks for all your work in creating these.

Starting my first SE Asia trip in February for 4 months. I have 3 days in Singapore so this is very helpful. Great video ❤
Oh wow. Not sure if you know but we are doing long term SE Asia too and Singapore was our first stop. Great way to start. We’re currently in Indonesia

Thank you that’s lovely to hear
Wow this video was great. Finally, it's not another budget trip video. Thanks for showing all the great places to visit.
Haha thanks. To be honest, ironically I don’t watch many TH-cam travel videos so I don’t know budget trips were a thing. So good to know!
Welcome to Singapore❣️🤩🤗
I never really thought about Singapore as one of the locations to travel...LOVE this video and it definitely makes me wanna go there!🤣😍
Always good to hear when I’ve put a country on someone’s radar!
Love the humour 😂 subscribed!😊

Thank you for taking me along this ride. Singapore is very high on my bucketlist and after seeing this, it has gone up some places.. 😀
Come before it gets too hot, February and March are good months to visit. :)

Thank you for the downloadable guides! It makes planning SO much easier. Also, the gentle sarcasm makes these videos for me. 😀Keep up the good work!

Love your humour you add to your video's ♥😊
Absolutely love your videos, and it's so endearing to know that all the footage is shot on iPhone, something accessible that we can learn to do!
This was interesting to watch....never been to asia before, let alone place like SG. Greetings everybody from Amsterdam🇳🇱🏍
SG is an easy mix of east and west to an easy entry into Asia if you’ve never been

@@NewmaticKe didnt know these details! Other then that the dutch been active worldwide with dyke/water management expertise.
Thank you!
Helpful video and guide👌 Heading here in 1 week for the 1st time🎉
You’ll have a great time!
Another top vlog and brought back great memories of our previous trip to the amazing island of Singapore 👏🏼
Love your humor!
Love the humor you inject in your content. You both are great!
Hehe
Your travel videos are the best and I love your sense of humour! 😂Looking forward to part two!
Thank you. It’s coming!
Great video, heading there soon, so you just sent my hype through the roof!
Singapore is absolute amazing! Best country in South East Asia.
Not only in south east asia but in the world ❤
Thank you for this video. Such a well made guide for people planning their trips. The pdf is an added and fantastic bonus. Keep up the good work.
Fabulous video....this looks amazing. More over we love your narration, hilarious 😅

So much information, very detailed, high quality of video! Love it! Happy New Year!
Glad you enjoyed! HNY

This is absolutely well researched. I applaud you for putting up all the correct information! :)
Haha shows the low standards we have reached when correct info is all we desire. Haha. But thank you it’s appreciated

Skip Raffles Hotel and goto Atlas Bar instead. The interior is beautiful and it is an actual bar and not a tourist attraction that serves pre mixed drinks. Just a short walk up to Hadji Lane after that.
Thanks for adding the tip!
Thanks for sharing! Love your videos &great tips!
You’re welcome!
That aquarium 😮
That get your guide looks like a great deal
Such a BEAUTIFUL place! Can't wait to go there after we go to finland in December next year! ❤❤
Excellent job on this video! Thank you for shooting in 4K!! Looks magnificent on our 77 inch display!!! Almost felt like I was there. 👍 Now I know that someday I must go there!

I really do wish that people would get out of the city. There's so much to see when you explore the rest of the country.

Hey yeah everything is iPhone on this channel. Super safe.
Perfect timing
I try my best!
Amazing video with amazing humour!
Love watching your videos!
Another great video mr monkey 🙈 defo wanna check out sing in the future after this!
Cheers!!!
I’ve missed you guys! Love this video. Unfortunately I do have kids slowing me down 😊
Great video! Would be great if you can also do a separate video on Universal Studios, and a cost breakdow😊 Will you visit Malaysia also?
We visited Malaysia after Singapore and a video will be coming. (Someone is not watching my Instagram stories lol). Noted about Studios
Thanks so much this was fabulous, we will be in Singapore in 2 weeks 😊
Have fun!
Finally the long awaited video is out! So glad to have the chance to meet you in person in Singapore.
Lovely to meet you guys too!

How did you film that with such clarity with an iPhone, it’s amazing

Good job, i love ❤
Awesome blog. Hoping to go to Singapore in September
Unless you are going for the Grand Prix, if you want to miss busy period, just be careful your dates don’t clash with the Grand Prix. More covered in the follow up Singapore tips video coming in 2 weeks 😀
@@SuitcaseMonkey thank you so much for that. We are over there the week later from 25 September. Great to know. Really appreciate your advice so much.
beautiful video. Good luck to you
Suitcase monkey has Sponsors. So Happy For you =) Happy New year! And may you 10 x your success this year!!! =)
Thanks. It really is what keeps the channel alive. All the best this year!
Remember going to the Night Safari in 1998 as a young teen, there was a very stressed tiger pacing up and down. So sad. Put me off zoos for life.
Yeah as I mentioned in the video I’m not normally a zoo guy and I wouldn’t normally have visited if it wasn’t for it being so popular so I felt I needed to check it out for the video sake to be able to review it. From my limited understanding of animals I didn’t see anything like that but I get you

IM waiting your vlog trip to Thailand in 2024 or maybe next 2025
I don't think I ever said we were going to release that? We were only in Chiang Mai for a week and it was mostly resting time as I'd been filming for 2 months and was exhausted. I do have film for an elephant park day we did so that may be released at some point.
What time of year did you go? Were looking to go October?
Hey. It was November. I’ve made a follow on video which is more about tips for visiting and covers the pros and cons to visiting different months
Love how you make lil jokes in between😂❤
Haha glad you spotted them lol

Thanks!

In which month you guys visited ?
Mid November. Video to follow up in 2 weeks about when to travel…
Best to visit in Nov/Dec as it gets cooler. The downside is it’s also the rainy season.
I have to ask, what cam are u using
iPhone 15 Pro Max
When u hv traveled. How about traveling in end january 2024 with resepct to covid peak in Singapore
When did the Covid peak start?
Mid December
We went mid November so missed it then
Hi There, with the explorer card, do you pay anything for the actual card? Or do you just get the 33% off, due to buying it through the website? Clarification would be incredibly appreciated :D
Hi there. The card is digital. It’s just on your phone so no fee. See the link which explains more.
Get your guide is not working today, tried several times. Maybe on monday after they fix the software patch. I noted Grab can access the same plans, but only 2, not 7.
Oh really? I guess it was due to the worldwide software issue. Interesting
@SuitcaseMonkey site is working now. Not at all impressed with the attractions list I paid for. I will detail later if I care.
Singapore government focuses on development... No distraction
Hi suitcase monkey😊. How does the get your guide all inclusive pass work please? Does it mean I can see as many attractions as I can fit in two days? Or is there is a maximum number of attractions I can see within 2 days... I'm confused cos I think I can fit in universal studios and at least 7 others.
Hey. I talk more about it in a follow up Singapore tips video so check that out. But there are two types of the all inclusive one includes USJ and you can see as much as you can within the amount of days you book. Or the other one is just for a set number of attractions and doesn’t include USJ
