- We've been to Singapore close to a dozen times and one of our best friends is from there, so when Dan's mom and brother were traveling with us through Southeast Asia, we of course wanted to include a stop in the Garden City so they could experience it for the first time🇸🇬
Come along to see their honest first impressions of Singapore, including a hot pot dinner with a Singaporean family. At the end of the video, we also show the best hotel we've ever stayed at in Phuket: the Aleenta Resort, which you're also not gonna want to miss! We're so grateful to our viewer Anchalika for inviting us to stay here🙏
You can check out more about the resort here: www.aleenta.com

Thanks guys for watching lah, you're all our best kakis🥰
Right back at you. And thank you for the time that you must put into these videos to share your experiences with us. ❤️
And this Singaporean loves you guys, and Dan's family right back!
Welcome to Singapore!!!! :) So happy to have you guys here!!! =)
Hey guyz Txs for sharing. Your mom and brother dem are so cute. Your bro is a cutie pie. Singapore looks so cool and such a pretty place. Very modern. Love it. Hope to visit one day. I travel through your eyes u guyz. Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks Oskar and Dan! Hope mom and bro truly enjoyed their time here! Gerek sia all your vids! Rock on!
I like it when travellers like you guys are respectful and shows a genuine interest to understand about the country.
White People are like Gods in Singapore. All we have to do is walk around Orchard Road and many local women looked like they want to fuck me right there on the sidewalk. :)
I'm Singaporean and didn't even know that they did the "snow" at the airport haha. Loving the touches of Singlish and you're always welcome to visit 🇸🇬 Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Same
i just love how you took your mom with you, that's just wholesome. most travelers goes as couple or solo. i always take my mom and dad with me, not only because i am single or don't have siblings its because they are my best friends.
the best thing
Thank you for visiting Singapore. Oskar's pronunciation of the word, Nyonya is so perfect that it sounded so natural to him. Also, you guys are really catching up with the Singlish phrases very well. :)
Next time you visit again, hit me up cos I am a big fan of Dan's channel.
I think one thing that is under appreciated is the music choice at all the different sections, really helps bring out the vibe of the location (from the airport, to the haji lane, and the boat ride in phuket)
Well done, April, for being the best Singaporean host to Oscar & Dan & Mum. An excellent spirit portraying the spirit of excellence of Singaporeans.
I have shared this video with an old British lady who was brought up in Singapore. She was delighted.
Heartwarming to see Dan's family enjoying themselves. You are blessed to have made friends with your travels around the world.
Truly blessed🙏
We need to see more of Dan's brother...whoa!
Right?! 🥵😍
Yes please! He is dreamy.
April is 11 years older than you? Never would have guessed.
Love all the plant-based food. This, of all your videos, made me want to go to Singapore.
you're welcome to Singapore!
Dan, your Mom seems so calm and wise. I like her outlook on life. Singapore looks so clean and modern.
if you live here long enough you'll become poor and half your salary will goto rent, and food is basic but very overpriced,without any extras to dream unless your salary is very high. That's how bad it is here.
@@baddoggi4238 , so you mean that the citizens there are poor coz they stay all their entire life time in that country? But in the video I don't see any homeless hanging on the street.
@@baddoggi4238 Rent? What are you on about? Almost 90% of Singaporeans own their houses. They don't pay rent. Stop waffling.
@@baddoggi4238 bad? Are you even singaporean?
@@baddoggi4238 bro should learn to appreciate their country for how good it actually is. youre feeding into the stereotype that singaporeans always complain
I love this new way of showing your videos. It's like you guys are taking more time to enjoy all without a rush. I can tell you are enjoying this chapter of your lives very much. It was nice to see your family, and Dan's brother has the same smile 😃 🙌🏽🔥
Until recently i lived in Singapore for over 9yrs ..love the airport .. Haji lane is brilliant at night with all the musicians playing in the street a great vibe, so many brilliant places to visit there and yes it changed heaps in the time we lived there.. Tiong Bahru was also a favourite many years ago before it became hip to live there , Love Phuket also the hotel looked amazing, Ah the luxury life of Singapore seems like a dream now..great place to bring up our kids through teenage years, Very different from the western world of Europe and yes it is certainly not for everyone living with a lot of rules and not much people noise .Thanks for sharing .
Your brother has an amazing spirit and energy about him! Give him a hug from us!
Thanks for appreciating Singapore culture and society.
This was such a sweet trip for your mom and brother!!!
We love Singapore and hope to return there again someday soon. Were supposed to be there in March 2020...
Come back to Singapore again soon ❤ so nice to see you having fun here. Take care
Absolutely loved this. Your bro is adorable. So glad you all had a good time together.
I am a Singaporean and never looked at a video about Singapore… till this one and finished it. 😍
One of your best, Oskar and Dan! So creative. 👍
Welcome to Singapore. Bring your mom to see the Orchids in Botanic Gardens
So glad you guys are in Singapore again!! Enjoy!
Always love to see you with your family! 💯💯💯
Wekcome Jacob! I loved my layover at Singapore airport in 2016 en route to Tokyo. Thanks for sharing your experience of this super-clean city state.
Thanks for the upload, I miss my country so much. Always love to watch them on youtube.
Welcome to South East Asia.
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬
Hope you all have a great time here. 🙏
Fantastic vid, thanks for sharing!
Great to see everyone have fun in Singapore. 👍
LOVED this video! Singapore and Thailand look gorgeous. So enjoyed your family.... Cutie of a brother (LOL)!! Take care.....
Great vid guys. Singapore has many critics but they are doing very well
Singapore is absolutely fine. The rules and the laws are only for the rules & law unabiding. As long as you respect the rules & laws, you can enjoy yourselves thoroughly. 😄
Really so happy to see you guys in Singapore! Please come back soon! We love to have you guys in our country!
I always enjoy watching your videos! So amazing!
Oh that looks so good, Aleenta what a beautiful spot.
Wonderful video and amazing resort you got to stay and share with family at the end!!
The 4 seasons still made me laugh even though I had an idea what the driver said 🤭
As for the heat, I definitely recommend anyone visiting SG to bring a small chargeable fan. Really helps when you're walking outside, and you can even charge on your powerbank or in public/buses (just bring the cord).
hey! Thanks for coming to Singapore, your mom's and friends reaction was amazing ngl. Surprised you went to hai di lao that place was amazing btw you should get the bbq flavoured snacks, that Phuket resort looked amazing I want to go there so bad
I've been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy you're content. I especially love this video seeing Singapore through their eyes for the first time.
My husband and I enjoy traveling ourselves and our current count is 44, with Egypt and Jordan (country 45 and 46) in November; no where near the number of countries you both have traveled. Once we retire in 2025, we hope to do more traveling. We'd love to know if you will be planning a small group tour again like you did in Morocco. That trip looked really fun and would love to possible join you guys on another.
Anyway, looking forward to more of your travel content.
Mark & Mark
I can watch this video a hundred times. Dreaming of witnessing the same someday soon.
You guys and your mom are so cool. Love the videos. Stay cool 😃🤗
Welcome to singapore! Hope you enjoy your stay!
So much love for you guys! Come back anytime to Singapore! We’re glad you enjoy you time here! Hugs & Kisses ! ❤️
I am local and these places are places I go frequently as I walk around Singapore all the time. Hope u come back again ! Tks for Ur video!!
Hope you enjoyed / are enjoying Singapore!! Welcome to the tropical humidity! 🤣
"Be yourself and come as you are...." that`s something that has worked for me all over the years. It dosen`t matter if I`m home on Hising Island or deep down in New Delhi.
Cherish the moments with your family ❤
You deserve it, guys!!
Your mom and brother are so nice ❤
Hope you enjoyed your stay here !
Oooh I love what your mum says aroundintelligently
Awesome job you guys
Hello Dan’s brother! 😍
Right?! 😍🥵
amazing stuff!
Yeah! I was only there for a stopover. Would love to visit the actual city. This family is a delight BTW.
Am glad you enjoyed your stay in Singapore. Much appreciated for the respective and insightful video. We are well function but we do give up some things for it. But that's the difference better different societies. Its all good.
as SG local. Warm welcome back to SG. Hope you and your family had a good time
You know how lucky you were to see otters there they usually don’t come out like that they hide around the bushes you are very lucky ❤
You are so lucky! You get to see the sea otters!
New Subs here😍 glad you enjoyed your stay here in Singapore 🇸🇬😍
Welcome to Singspore:) enjoy watching non stop Dan airline reviews too :)
Wow the hotel looks amazing
Aleenta is indeed incredible and in my books it is a good thing it is just off Phuket island (essentially when leaving the airport turn left and cross the bridge to the mainland rather than turn right). Although there isn't much activity around the resort, the beach is incredible there. The beach stretches for kilometres left and right of the resort and it is completely deserted and feels super private. One of my best beach experiences ever. An alternative would be some of the hotels in the Mai Khao area on Phuket (e.g. Anantara Mai Khao is an amazing villa resort worth checking out!). It's on the same side as Aleenta but just on the Phuket side itself (a few km South of the airport - but you won't hear any planes). Similar beach albeit not as secluded with a bit more options for restaurants around the resorts.
Wow THANK YOU FOR THE INFO!🙏🙏
Criminally good...🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it!!
I'm going to steal that catch phrase! 😍😍
It's actually a pretty common saying in Swedish🤣
Wah! Happy to be a Singaporean sia! (srry for the singlish)
Spectacular video. The food looked wonderful also and the foliage. But have been there so I know all about the suffocating humidity as was Hong Kong and Bangkok.
@1:16 "what kind of airport is this?!" - ONE OF A KIND! just Awesome!!
I stayed at Aleenta last during for my wedding anniversary, i agree that it is such a great resort with amazing staff and reallly good food
So awesome🙌
I would gladly give up some of my freedom for a well organized society like Singapore in The Caribbean especially the eastern part is absolutely total nonsense and corrupt government never thinking about the future of their citizens I’m Trinidad 🇹🇹 bro its my sixth time in Singapore and I still can’t get enough of it, I came here for a connecting flight once and I never knew this place existed just brilliant
Singapore is the gem of asia!
wow Aleenta super shiok sia!!!
Feel like like Bungalow sia!!!
I also like the music theme too...
share leh the music at Aleenta north of Phuket ....
Dan,
Your mom is kinky for flowers and you didn't take her to the Orchid Garden at the Botanical Gardens? What were you thinking?
this is amazing
Welcome to little red dot , it’s raining season and enjoy the local delicious foods
I love your mum’s dress!
Hey guys, I’m a great fan of you 🎉❤😊
Thank you🙏❤️
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬
🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩Singapore ,we are Singapore.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Dan's mother made some very intelligent observations.
Hey Boys,I'm always SO pleased to see a notification from your channel(s),really lifts my day.
A pleasure to meet you lovely mama & bro & I'm always fascinated to see what's happening in Singapore, a place I did enjoy in the late 80s - a period now seen as a Golden time - like many I completely disagree with the more draconian laws & attitude to things dear to me. I too am lucky to have Singaporean friends,so blame government & fundamentalist religion rather than the average people.
The resort looks AMAZING & I've actually forwarded your video to 3 friends,before I wrote this comment.
Glad to see you both looking so well&happy and wishing you&yours health, happiness and very best wishes💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯⭐️'s💯👋✌️Until next time,around the world 😊
welcome to SG！
Wish to bump you here in Singapore, just enjoy stay here in SG❤
Omg it’s got NZ coconut yoghurt in that vegan place 😂😂 so weird that it’s all in English too!! Loved this vid ❤🎉
Thanks to the British setting up a colony there in 1819, English is one of the four official languages, the others being Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil.
@@paulybarr credit actually goes to our first PM LKY, who established Singapore as a working language and lingua franca. Singapore during colonial times actually had Malay as the lingua franca, as the British barely taught English to the locals unless they needed to hire or work with them. Much of the local English education was left to Christian mission schools who did it by their own accord, until Singapore gained independence and English education was nationalised from the late 1960s.
This is partly a reason why most Singaporeans speak with a local accent, rather than a Westernised or British one as one might notice among the educated elites who received English instruction from Westerners, in, say, China.
If you guys every come here (Singapore) again you should definitely try some of the coffee shops like the one in Bishan and 628 market
Welcome to my beautiful country Singapore.
Beautiful country with so few taxi?
I loved Singapore but The Kingdom of Thailand has got to be the best place ever 🇹🇭😍
Best place for police extortion?
Good shots
Omggg best country for me 🥳💕
I don't think you and your brother look that much alike, but your voice is SO much the same! Same timber and quality. Great video. I LOVE Singapore as well, even though as an American I hate a lot of their laws.
Is beautiful there ❤❤❤

Singapore is a very rich country.
Its total exports (2021) of US $ 457 billion is even bigger than India's total exports (2021) US $421 billion according to data from WTO.
