Blossom Bliss - Sakura in Singapore @ Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay
What? Sakura in Singapore?!
Back in two years ago, in Year 2016, Singapore did some “experimental floral display” by bringing the weather-sensitive cherry blossom to the tropics, to see if they would thrive. Not only that the experiment worked, the event also sees a large turnout of local residents and foreign visitors who didn’t want to miss the chance to see cherry blossom in Singapore.
“Sakura, in a tropical weather? You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Off The Beaten Path - Phatthalung : Khao Chai Son, Hatyai and Journey Home
We checked out after our complimentary breakfast and the songthaew driver was already waiting for us in front of our bungalow. We hopped onto the songthaew with all our luggage, and bid farewell to the beautiful Thale Noi. The songthaew driver then dropped us in front of Phatthalung train station. The ride costs us 450 Baht or 50 Baht per person (SGD2.06 / RM6.50). We then enquired about the earliest available train tickets to Hatyai and Khao Chai Son, bought the next train (10.30am).
