A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

Even though Atour is a chain hotel consisting of more than a thousand hotels its got very high standard of service and maintenance and quality beds and pillows. Its like going to McDonald's you know what to expect, Here's a video of their breakfast and its very good I must say.

Stayed at Okura Garden Hotel in Shanghai for 1 night waited for my next day's flight. The modern part of the hotel is build on the former French Club of Shanghai which was built in the 1920s.

Really glad to be back from 2 weeks of travelling - too much Korean and Chinese food. Next morning go do marketing at a local Thai wet market and had a simple breakfast there, this cost me $1.40 for the coffee and 2 eggs. So nice.
