Comments on: Bangkok – SEA’s Hottest Tourism Destination? https://stg.coolerinsights.com/2007/01/bangkok-seas-hottest-tourism-destination/ Content Marketing and Social Media Agency in Singapore Wed, 24 Jan 2007 13:09:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.6 By: Cool Insider https://stg.coolerinsights.com/2007/01/bangkok-seas-hottest-tourism-destination/#comment-191 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 13:09:00 +0000 http://coolerinsights.com/uncategorized/2007/01/bangkok-seas-hottest-tourism-destination/#comment-191 eastcoastlife I think you can bring your guests to some of Singapore’s museums and heritage corners. There are some pretty interesting and unusual ones that offer something a little different from the ordinary. Alternatively, try island hopping and charter a boat out to Kusu, St John’s Island etc. Oceanskies will be able to share with you the interesting walking tours that Original Singapore Walks has to offer.

You talking about me? I love Bangkok!!! For the food, spas & shopping lah.

Having been there so many times, surprisingly I have never seen a ‘Tiger’ show! OK, next time I go, watch the show & blog about it since Victor cannot do it.

I do agree with the points Walter brought out. What can Singapore offer to its tourists? I have many foreign guests every year and I have to go to Sentosa Island, Mandai Zoo & Jurong Bird Parks almost monthly. For repeat visitors, that’s not much for them to do except eat & chat with me (See, I’m more interesting than the tourists spots in Singapore), even the shopping here doesn’t interest them.

The authority needs to relax lah, let me start a ‘duck house’ or ‘chicken house’ & have it listed in 3 years. I got experience mah. muahahaha…….

IRs ah? I have been to casinos in Las Vegas, Melbourne and Gold Coast, so I will compare them when the time comes. But I can foresee that it is not cheap for the visitors.

Now Bangkok is a lot more sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Patpong is still there (we didn’t have the chance to visit it obviously), but its probably rather inconsequential now. The heady mix of exceptional service and hospitality, exotic spread of savoury goodies, wide variety of retail goods (both indigenous and imported), as well as vibrant entertainment scene makes Bangkok very attractive. In fact, many Singaporeans were there during our trip, and I know people who travel to Bangkok 5 to 6 times a year (or more) at the drop of a hat to recharge and rejuvenate.

From what I read in your post, Bangkok is very different now. Back then, there was still a lot of sleaze. Patpong was the hottest spot in town. What happened to it now? Is it still in existence? Oops, sorry that I asked. I forgot that you were there for a wholesome family holiday.

Alright, I think I should confess (especially to ECL), I saw a ‘Tiger’ show then. All I can say is that it was revolting, even to a hardened sex blogger like me. And I can’t bring myself to blog about it.
