I think a max of 5 days will be more then enough to cover Singapore. It's not really cheap like the other countries in SE Aisa, Everything is double Malaysia. Why dont you go to Singapore for 3 -5 days and spend the rest travelling around Malaysia ?!

It is a lovely place and very interesting. There are some good museums (particularly if you are interesting in learning about the Japanese occupation during the 2nd World War) and the zoo and the night safari are a must. However, I would consider two weeks an absolute maximum. It is just a city on an island. It isn't a country that you need to travel around. You would base yourself in one hotel/hostel and then explore the surrounding area. And it isn't cheap. We paid £21 night for a double room with a shared bathroom. Compared to £4 a night in Thailand and £10 a night in Malaysia. cowie720 stuart hugh campbell Post Count: 6 Msg: #4 128 days ago, July 20th 2009 | am going there for ten days and i was thinking is it easy to get to more places from there | Rat on the Road Kris and Kate Post Count: 421 Msg: #5 128 days ago, July 21st 2009 | Hi Stuart | What exactly do you mean? Is it easy to use Singapore as a base to visit other places, or is it easy to move on to other places in SE Asia from Singapore?

You could comfortably fill a week there. It's also very easy to cross into Malaysia from there. Malaka is only a couple of hours by bus, and Kuala Lumpur is a couple of hours further on. So if you wanted you could do a side trip. Or there are some budget airlines that fly out of Singapore, Tiger Airways being one. If there is somewhere else you are dying to see, you could consider a short return flight somewhere. If you fancy the Malaysia idea, there isn't really any need to plan it too much before you go. You can land in Singapore, see how long it takes you to explore and then catch a bus into Malaysia if you fancy a change. We didn't book the bus to Malaka in advance, we just turned up and jumped on one. cowie720 stuart hugh campbell Post Count: 6 Msg: #9 126 days ago, July 22nd 2009 | thanks for all the info guys i will write all these places down sibu island sounds really nice look for sea gypsy thats sounds fun lol how much are the short flights then how much would u say to take for 3 months of traveling | Rat on the Road Kris and Kate Post Count: 421 Msg: #10 126 days ago, July 23rd 2009 | 3 months travelling where exactly? | Just Thailand, Sydney and Singapore or other places too?
