Fact check! Locals did not self-proclaim Singapore as a "Little Red Dot" on our own merely because of its size. In 1998, the then Indonesian President Habibie first described Singapore as being no more than "a little red dot" out of spite! Singaporeans have since come to embrace that nickname.
I visited Spore on budget, don't be tricked by this video. You can easily have a nice representable hotel in Chinatown and the Hawker centres, scatttered all over Spore offer very nice Malaysian, Singaporean dishes . Enjoy !!!!
I was born in Singapore many years ago, into a very poor family. Fast track 70 more years, I can now afford to visit Singapore and would usually stay at a Marina Bay Sands suite. From there I could see Clifford Pier, near where I used to fish and it brings back a whole lot of memories.
I find expensive hotel staff pleasantries to be phony. You arrive as a guest, you leave as a friend and you return as a family- meh. You're paying them to be nice to you, thats all.
I traveled to Singapore on the Ultra wealthy budget of the United States Government. Met and hung out with a lot of oil workers and locals, a very beautiful place. You gotta check out the port where all the boats come in and out…like something out of a movie.
@@Thefewfunds I am from Singapore. Go to the neighbourhoods or what we call heartlands over here to experience the Singaporean life/vibe though you might not like it as it's not the luxurious experience you had. Heck, buzz me the next time you're here. I can show you around, just not in a Rolls Royce and with Butlers.
Few weeks ago, on CNA, a Singapore TV show, there was a documentary about old folks dying alone at home 😢 a man said he doesn't close his front door, only the secondary metal frames door, just in case he die, people can discover his body sooner 😢
It's on my bucket list. Every travel vlog I watch on RUclips leaves me excited and astonished by just how much cool, interesting, delicious and aesthetically gorgeous stuff is on offer in Singapore. I lived for so long not having any idea. Now I know, I will HAVE to go to this fascinating little corner of the world.
Raffles Singapore was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. Excellent service and hospitality. The Singapore Sling at Long Bar was a little overrated. The Gin Sling, tasted much better….suggest by our host when I was there 😎
Most Singaporeans go to the Marina Bay Sands once a year when their employer throws a company dinner. We arrive early to walk around for free and that’s just about it.
As a Malaysian that moved to the United States for a while now, I will be flying back to Singapore and Malaysia soon and I can't wait to explore Singapore. Planning to make a bunch of videos there as well, it's such a beautiful country! AND of course the food! Malaysian/Singaporean food are the best! (I am biased :D)
for the hotel man who said you come back as 'family' if it is like 'family' I am not coming back for another 10 or 20 years. Family brings too much drama. I don't want to spent 10,000 dollars a night to have someone cuss me out.
Visited Bucharest few months ago on a business trip...well...small Paris is closer to a dream than to reality. 😂 Buildings lacking maintenance, no cycling infra, huge traffic jams, awful public transportation (especially the trams are SOMETHING 😅). There is a potential but you are far far away at this moment.
I visited Bucharest last October and fell in love. It truly is the safest city in Europe. And so much English! Many fast food places had English titles with Romania subtitles. Most people under thirty speak some English, which came as a shock. I spent the most civilized night of my life at the fountains in Bucharest. I will return.
lol 😂 no way I’m eating an undercooked pigeon. Singapore 🇸🇬 is well worth the visit. But I can also imagine a lot of tourists that visit there are stretching their budgets.
Choose quality over quantity for overseas or interstate holidays. Instead of 3 to 5 cheap holidays save and go for 1 expensive memorable overseas holiday.
Living standard in Singapore is really high even for the lower class but for people wanting to emigrate there, Singapore only accepts the rich or experts
I visited Spore in budget... With lots of Hawkers, you can experience a lot of Malaysian/ Singapore food for cheaper than cheap. Everything from chicken to fish
As someone who used to live and workm in SG, you cant be tricked into this crap. Whch is why a lot of people go broke, except for Singaporeans. The only expensive thing in Singapore is accomodation. Evrything else like bus fare, train, groceries and food and affordable. A Singaporean said to us bfore, in Singapore, you dont need to spend more tha n 10 SGD in 1 day. I think as of today, its 15SGD. THat already includes your bus/train fare, lunch and shop around for a nice iced cold drink
The only thing remotely interesting in that itinerary was the boat in the end. The rest of this hilariously boring and not far different from travelling elsewhere except for more air-conditioning. It says a lot, for example, that the only person interviewed who actually dresses for the weather here is the captain on that ship.
This is the first time I'm hearing of the show "Crazy Rich Asians" and suddenly I'm reminded why I haven't watched television for the better part of ten years.
Singaporean here. Whatever is at Sands is bad taste. Look at the shops from a little distance for a better perspective, they all are tacky. Real Luxury is one that isn't store-bought but made bespoke.
Whats the big deal? If you spend US $5000 a day even in Rwanda or Somalia you will get the same first class ultra lux treatment and service like Singapore. To a person like me who has this kind of budget to blow, I value personalized service and unique experiences more than luxury cars, wine, dine, hotels and shopping. Example: I was staying at a former Maharajas palace in India. Saw a painting of his family in traditional Rajput wear. In 24 hours, the palace arranged a tailor, portrait painter and photographer to have my family dressed up in similar suits, jewelry and clothing. In 48 hours the tailor made the items ready and we had a family photo shoot, portrait and jewelry. Palace also arranged a convoy of 4 horses, 2 camels, elephants and a royal entourage. Thats is exactly what people like me look for. Unique, meaningful luxury experiences not available anywhere else.
Southeast Asia looks meh? How come way more people prefer to go there instead of the US? Who in their right mind would want to go to Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco etc over Singapore, Bangkok, Hanoi etc plus all of the paradise islands, beaches, jungles, mountains of Southeast Asia?
@@kayflip2233 I'm not talking about SE Asia. Rather, I'm talking about these luxury places in the video. They, like other luxury places around the world, look meh, overhyped, and overpriced. This video is more like a commercial to these places than an objective informative video.

As Singaporean I can tell you we only go to Marina Bay Sands mall just for the air-con
as a Singaporean I go to Marina Bay Sands for the air-con & once a week TWG visit.
And the restaurants
Indoenshians : What does Marina Bay Sands even mean ❓
As Filipino tourist, we do the same.

yes, we’re the rare first-world city where we have hawker centres for cheap food. everyone always tells us how lucky we are when we travel overseas!

As a Singaporean, we don't even eat pigeon 😂.
That's a relief. They're considered flying rats in my part of the world.
@@i.m.7777 Singapore mostly have Hokkien ancestry, but pigeon is Cantonese cuisine, anyway, very delicious indeed.
Honestly, why would anyone go to Singapore for French cuisine? Give me char kway teow instead
A proper title for this video would have been, "Where the ultra wealthy stay & visit when they travel to Singapore."
Indeed. This one had a really inappropriate title that didn't really pertain to the actual content of the video.
what do you think travel is buddy

That how I fell of Americans as a Dane in general
Probably why some people aren't so interested in hotels giving them extra surprises/treats etc. if they stay there on their birthday
Try the local chicken rice, don't cost 30,000 USD, can be 3 USD only.

Looks like an ad to MBS and Raffles
Especially raffles. Wth does a drink have to do with luxury?
Exactly what I was thinking
After all, they were the ones contacting CNBC to make that video. Nothing weird or novel about it

1st visit, how much discount can you give me since we're best friends?
2nd visit, how many years can I stay there since we're family?
If you need to ask the price, you can't afford the place. Haha. It is soooooooooo expensive

The Cost of Living IS Pricier In Spore Than In Malasyia 🤔
@@KamBar2020 Very much so. Food and accommodations in SG is very expensive
@@VincentXGoh Food is not expensive but affordable. The same goes with its public transportation.
@@Zayn-jc4zt That's true
Singapore seems like a clean and beautiful place to visit. Singapore is on my list of places to visit, I'm sure I'll end up visiting it in 2024
Singapore definitely seems like a must-visit place

14:51 Are you ready to go first class by sailing the seas, shop till you drop, visit the best hotels and restaurants that Singapore has to offer? lol
now i know i'm really not missing out on much
Forget French food in Singapore, you can go to France for that. Go to hawker center for laksa and beers!
Thanks for the recommendation! Now I know where to go for dinner ❤
Hello from Singapore 🤗
That shaking costs more than my house 😂
I usually stay at MBS when I transit Singapore, but its a hard pass for those Michelin restaurants. Give me Lau Pa Sat or Maxwell food centre any day!
i like this series
Next month i will see Singapore
Can't wait to go visit!
@@FV1KAWASAKIH2 I know Singa is expnsive.. I don't mind especially when you see how everything is run of there! I don't mind the premium at all!!
Be sure to take Singapore Airlines, the greatest airline in the world.
@@northernbohemianrealist that would be cherry on the cake...
dine at our hawker centres! each dish is usually less than $5. you can also stay a few MRT stops away from the central to save money.
What's the point if you can't show the prices??
They say if you have to ask about the price you are broke my friend & this isn't for you😅
I prefer Bali ... the food, culture, beaches ... much much much better in Bali.
❤ BEAUTIFUL BALI
We will make it one day boys!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful country to visit if you likes all the intelligent man made human creativity out of a box.
Singapore here I come
All okay but never gonna eat that pigeon dish 😂
I love that they showed a photo of a dictator and a dictator wannabe who stayed at the Cappella hotel. 😅
Air conditioning isn’t that exclusive. I have it in my car 🚗 💨

Why would the super rich want to emigrate to SIN?
IMHO, they would only do that if there're no other options.

Tax the rich !!
It seems that the ultra-wealthy are quite similar everywhere, doesn’t it? They're all rich.

Singapore is call a Shining Red Dot now. It also don't need to shine unnecessary.
Imagine being a millionaire, a billionaire even and eating pigeon!?!? 😱 this is crazy.
That's why it's called CRAZY Rich 🤯
Are you kidding me? The Uber rich are the ones most likely to do insane things.
Better than the junk that you eat
@@JohnSkyLey it really isn’t but ok. Let’s agree to disagree.
Its getting to crowded for there small size
This is the first time I'm hearing of the show "Crazy Rich Asians" and suddenly I'm reminded why I haven't watched television for the better part of ten years.

Did I hear Shopping luxury cars??
bruh, you really promoted the Raffles hotel with the north korean dictator ...
Question: who are this video aimed for?
Because as Singaporeans, our daily lives are not that opulent.
thats why the title says ultra wealthy
I thought the Fullerton hotel is much better
I hate how this is how SG is portrayed
Can't be even further than the truth if you're just a regular joe
the title literally says ultra wealthy
a city for rich people
Singapore do not have a minimum wage.

Singapore is one of the only places on earth where you can die from boredum.
Constantly hot and humid, and boring.
12:00
this while the 100s of millions of people in the world go without food, disgusting.
Geylang hotels not bad
💚
Unfortunately, Singapore is a very souless and boring island to live because there is nothing much to do in daily life in Singapore.
Maybe that's just because you don't know many people there? People make life exciting not locations.
Singapore is no more than a foot note for Malaysia, or the place that supply girls to the rest of Southeast Asia for 'extra' purposes.
