Travel Bits: May 2024
Budget Trip...... Beginning the last week of May 2024, I will be going on a budget trip where I will be travelling by train from Bangkok to Singapore. My target is to set aside SGD$500 (about USD$370 based on current conversion rate), and set off from Singapore to Bangkok by Budget Airline. From Bangkok, I will progressively travel southwards by train towards Singapore. Train travel will be on Class 3. This is a budget travel trip after all. Along the way, I will pass by several cities in Thailand and Malaysia and spend time overnight in some of them. There will also be an over-nighter where I will travel in the train overnight. I have never travel like this before. Thus, I am absolutely looking forward to it. While there will be nothing luxurious during the trip, what I will get to enjoy will still be an amazing experience, traveling with the locals and exploring local culture and cuisines first hand. There will be none of those 5-star resort treatments. Neither will there ...
