Been thinking about visiting Singapore and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $83/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
