Planning my first trip to Singapore in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from Canada and have experience in a few different countries but this would be my first time in Singapore.
Thanks for any help!

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $56/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
