  • Koh Tao Revolution Hostel by the Beach

    Koh Tao Revolution Hostel by the Beach

    As you may have seen, we have we have covered many budget friendly hostels across the north of Thailand in various locations for you to make the most out of your trip… and your money. 3 of these have been with Revolution Hostel who are the most popular Hostel chain in Thailand that offers all you need if you are an avid traveller. Find this one here.

    The hostels covered have included pools, nightlife, amazing tours and so much more!

    If you don’t know already, Koh Tao is an island off the east coast of Thailand that boasts such beauty.

    It’s an Island we haven’t broke down for you guys to make the most of yet, I’m sure we will, but for now we will focus on Revolution!

    Location

    Now, we are starting off with maybe the best part of the Hostel first. Koh Tao is an Island which means you will have a much different experience than what you did when you were staying on the mainland with Revolution.

    The location is pretty much perfect except for one major point, so let’s get onto that. The location you are dropped off from when you make the ferry journey to the island is mighty far away from where the hostel resides. When we arrived, it was probably a 45 minutes walk, if not an hour, for us to make it to Revolution Hostel. We are ask travellers so we don’t mind a nice walk across an island. But with a heavy backpack and a long tiring journey from mainland, it’s the last thing you want to do.

    The only way you can avoid walking Is by hiring a bike or car. The bike is simple enough, but the car definitely would not fit down the narrow paths for a direct route to the hostel. A car would require to go out and away from the main areas and round the island to get to the hostel, potentially taking 30-45 minutes and costing you money. So it can be hard/costly to find your way to the hostel, but once you are there, there is no drawbacks at all.

    You are located at the crossroads of 2 busy streets, perfectly placed next to good food spots regardless of your favourite cuisine. But the most important thing to note is how close you are to the beach. The beach is literally a 1 minute walk away and you know that the views from the beach are magical.

    Hostel Room Experience

    The room we stayed in was a 6 bedroom mixed dorm which currently costs £14.94 per person per night. The room was very simplistic but had all the essentials a good hostel has. This includes lockers, a bathroom, charging ports, and most of all… curtains.

    Even though the room was quite small for 6 people, it felt very quiet and independent once the curtains were closed. The bed was super comfortable and had enough room for a good nights sleep for sure.

    The bathroom was spacious, with a good shower so there’s not much to explain there! Also, each of the rooms had cool names from cities all around the world… I believe we were Sydney but there was loads dotted about.

    We would always recommend people who are travelling alone to try dorms to meet people experience more of what the travelling life has to offer.

    Other Rooms Available

    As it is one of the smaller complexes from a Rev hostel, there were limited types of hostels that you can book.

    For instance, a 6 person dorm is the only sized room you can book and the only differences in these rooms would be a ‘deluxe’ or ‘standard room’

    I’ll be honest, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between them but the only one we could find was that the deluxe was inclusive of curtains for independence. And let’s be honest, for less than £1 a night, why wouldn’t you pay the extra??

    There are independent rooms which you can book the Standard double bed private suite which as you guessed it is a room for you and one other for only £41.37 per night! If you think about it, it’s only £6 more than what you pay for a dorm.

    If you are looking to kick back and relax or want to escape the busyness of a dorm, then this is the perfect opportunity!

    Social areas

    Koh Tao revolution has a great social area located around reception which is where they host all of their event nights and games. It’s equipped with a bar, computable chairs, benches and even a pool table. They have live DJs who play music to keep the atmosphere pumping well into the night if you like. Or if you just want to chill with a drink, there are nice, quieter spots that are perfect for you.

    The social spots are a great place to meet new people and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

    Events

    Now this is where Revolution truly stand out from the rest…

    They are world renowned for their amazing trips and experiences. So there’s no better place to look for those once-in-a-lifetime memories.

    The Koh Tao Rev hostel is no different with loads of events to choose from. This includes sunset paddle boarding, Cliff jumping, diving and open water courses, shark bay snorkelling, abandoned hikes, and of course a glow-up party!

    We did visit shark bay for snorkelling which was an amazing experience, one you can check out ‘here‘. to see our full experience! But the hostel truly has so much to offer, and so does the island with it’s tours. No matter which tour you choose, you will be getting the best of the best and they will not disappoint.

    The reps who look after the tours are super friendly and always happy to help regardless of the situation.

    Overall Experience

    The hostel is definitely up there with some of the best we have stayed at. The views, location, events and people really make this a special place to stay when visiting Koh Tao. You can find out more and book here.

    The hostel really offers so much more than just a place to sleep, it’s a place to make lifelong friends, have forever kept memories, and so much more. We honestly couldn’t recommend this hostel enough, and if we ever make it back to the wonderful island of Koh Tao, we know exactly where we will be staying!!

  • Visas needed for popular South East Asian Countries from the UK in 2025

    Visas needed for popular South East Asian Countries from the UK in 2025

    Check out OurTwoStepStart on Youtube Here. Where we post our travel blogs and insights to inspire you, to travel!

    Visiting South East Asia is a daunting prospect, with months of planning and organising. That… partnered with creating your itinerary and wanting to make the most out of your once-in-a-lifetime trip, it’s really not easy.

    In fact, it’s rather time-consuming and even scary trying to gather all the necessary information and create the perfect plan. There’s so much to organise and find.

    When we were planning our trip to South East Asia, one of the toughest parts for us was finding up-to-date and correct visa information for each country we aimed to visit. Now, we are going to cover some of the most popular destinations in South East Asia and the visa requirements needed if you are from the UK (We shall do any other highly requested countries also… So let us know!!)

    Please note, all this information is as of the 11th of August 2025 and is likely to have changed by the end of 2025 or even sooner.

    Visas from the United Kingdom

    We are both from the UK and spend many hours looking for country visas. Here, we have the most popular ones all in one place so you don’t have to spend loads of time like we did!

    1. Visas from the United Kingdom
      1. Thailand
      2. Vietnam
      3. Philippines
      4. Cambodia
      5. Laos
      6. Indonesia
      7. Singapore
      8. Malaysia
    2. Visas for Southeast Asia
    3. Find our Travel Essentials!

    Thailand

    Thailand is a pretty simple country for visas… Well, to start off with.

    Anyone from the United kingdom can access a free, 60-day visa to explore and visit Thailand at their leisure. However, at the time of checking, the Thailand Embassy are in talks to reduce this to 30-days. Fortunately, this does not have a confirmed date yet, and something you would need to check yourself here.

    But as it stands, the 60-day visa is accessible for all British Citizens, so make sure to make the most of this before it changes. Also, this is a single-entry visa, so if you were to leave, you would have to reapply before entering again, so bear that in mind. There is an opportunity to extend this visa by 30 days once it’s running out, but you would need to do that at a Thai Immigration office.

    Also, British Citizens have an option of a multi-entry tourist visit, which allows you to spend up to 2 months at any one time in Thailand before having to leave the country and come back. This visa does last 6 months total so you can make the most from visa runs or visiting other countries while dipping in and out of Thailand!

    British Citizens do not qualify for the visa exemption scheme as of the date writing this.

    Vietnam

    Vietnam is known for being quite a complicated location to get a visa but as of recent, things have changed.

    The country is really popular for tourists and we think they know that, and that’s why they have competed with Thailand to make it easy for travellers.

    When we travelled, we were only limited to 14 days of travel before requiring a visa… However, today you get 45 days of free travel to Vietnam before requiring a visa. All you need is a valid passport!!

    For the visa, there are also quite a few options. The most obvious being the 90 day e-visa. As expected, it is something you can apply online or go through your travel agent to acquire and seems to be a relatively easy process. Not only does the visa extent your day by double but also it allows for multiple entries to the country.

    So, if you want to nip to a neighbouring country and come back, you still have that option.

    It really is that simple, you can visit for up to 45 days or get an e-visa which allows for a full 90 days. Find more information here.

    Philippines

    Philippines for us is one of the best countries in the world – full of beauty, wonder, and amazing people and culture. So definitely look at visiting this wonderful place!

    But how do you visit here?

    The Philippines allows you to visit here visa free if you are from the UK up to 30 days for business or tourist use providing you have an exit flight out of the country. This is a great opportunity to visit a large portion of the country and explore a lot of the island it has to offer.

    But this country for sure could and should be visited for longer. If you want to stay longer in the Philippines you would have to apply for temporary visitor (9a) visa while in the country. This would extend your initial 30 day travel period to an extra 29 days.

    Cambodia

    Cambodia is an ever increasing popular tourist place to visit. It may not be as popular than the staples of Thailand or Vietnam but is just as beautiful, so how do we get there?

    The visas for Cambodia is 30 days and costs either $30 or $35 depending on the type of Visa you get. This is the only real way of visiting Cambodia and you can get an extension for Cambodia travel which can only be applied for once you are in the country.

    This is something you would need to complete once you are in the country.

    Make sure you are also aware of the E-arrival card which is required for most foreign visitors into the country (including the UK). This is completely free but something you have to apply for and obtain at least 7 days before arriving in the country. So don’t forget this!!

    Laos

    Laos is simple, you NEED a visa to enter!

    This visa is easy to apply and you have 2 ways of obtaining the visa. Firstly, you can get the visa online through the Laos e-visa portal. This is the safer way to apply and obtain the visa and avoids any problems when arriving in the country.

    However, you can also get a visa upon arrival to Laos but please note this only includes certain location. This includes Vientiane Wattay airport, Luang Prabang Airport, and Paske airport.

    To be safe, it would be worth getting a e-visa to stop and unnecessary risks but it all depends on how much of a risk-taking you are.

    Indonesia

    Now this is a popular location for travellers like you! Bali- one of the many islands in Indonesia- is one of the top locations in South East Asia. But don’t forget the rest of the beautiful country, which has so much to offer!

    The Indonesia visa is pretty simple and easy to acquire.

    Anyone entering the country would require a 30 day visa which has an easy access link here. It’s an easy online E-visa that should take you no longer than 30 minutes to apply for. As you can tell, it’s only 30 days…

    if you do want to stay longer in Indonesia, then you luckily have the option to do so! However, you are only limited to a small extension… 30 days! I mean it’s not too bad but is it enough?

    The cost for the visa extension is a total of 500,000 Indonesian rupiah, which is a total of £22 give or take. So pretty cheap if you ask me.

    If you want to stay more long-term, then you have the option of applying for a 60 day visa. This is something you have to apply for at least a week before your flight to leave the country. This is done on the immigration Indonesia Website, and as predicted, is less likely to get accepted than the 30 day visa. But it’s worth the shot!

    Singapore

    If you have come to this page looking for an easy way to enter Singapore, then you are in luck. Singapore is not like many other countries in Asia, and they are no different with their entry with visas. Believe it or not but you DON’T NEED a visa to enter Singapore.

    Yes, you read that right!

    But unfortunately, it’s never that simple. You have no costs sure, but will be given a limited amount of time you are allowed to stay in the country. And, to be honest, it is completely variable.

    Usually, for a UK national, it is anywhere between 30 days to 90 days, but there’s no guarantee what the number would be. The way you find out the amount of time you are allowed to stay is when you arrive…

    Now what does that mean??

    Unfortunately, the time you spend in Singapore is totally dependant on the immigration officer you meet once you arrive. As explained, it’s most likely between 30 to 90 days but you will have to cross a few fingers and hope it’s long.

    But either way, who has the money to stay in Singapore long anyways??

    Malaysia

    Malaysia is similar to Philippines in a sense of not needing a visa to enter. But for the Philippines you are only limited to 30 days. That’s right, that must mean for Malaysia you can stay longer visa free!!

    Drum roll…!

    You can stay in Malaysia, Visa free for 90 DAYS!! This is shown here but wait… there’s more!

    In Malaysia, if you are loving it so much, you can apply to stay for extra time there! You have to apply on the official portal of Malaysia to be granted a visa to pass 90 days. However, without applying and getting this accepted, we are unsure on the length of time the extension is, so you might have to find that one out for yourself.

    But nonetheless, 90 days visa free is pretty awesome, so we can’t complain!

    Visas for Southeast Asia

    South east Asia is such a popular place across the world with more and more travellers each year venturing here. So before you travel, make sure to keep note of our post to relay back to when you are country hopping! Because the last thing you want to do is have to individually search for each individual Visa for every country you visit. We have done it… it takes time!

    Wherever you are in South East Asia, or even if you aren’t there yet, we hope you are having an amazing time. Visit these countries, explore all they have to offer, and most importantly (for legal purposes), make sure you keep up to date with Visas and their changes.

    Be aware that ALL the information of visas are as of the August 2025 and are change more than we would like. So do double check to see if anything has changed so no mistakes are made.

  • Outpost Hostel Review, El Nido – Philippines

    Outpost Hostel Review, El Nido – Philippines

    El Nido is a beautiful coastal location in Palawan which is surrounded by tranquil blue waters and paradisal islands. When researching the town there is so much to do and therefore we decided to stay for 5 nights and searched for a busy Hostel that provided lovely views and had good access to beach tours.

    We used HostelWorld and came across 2 main Hostels to choose from. The hostel we ended up choosing was Outpost Hostel as it was directly on the beach and was known for good socialising to meet people.

    Arrival – 7/10

    When arriving in El Nido we were dropped off in a peculiar location on the side of a bend of a main road. From here we were directed from our driver to head down some side steps. This was reimbursed as we saw overhead signs directing us onto the beach for the Outpost Hostel. Take a left across the beach for 2 minutes and you will end up at the steps of the Hostel.

    It’s a simple Hostel to find as you just have to follow the beach until you find the entrance. If you are arriving in the morning you may find an issue of the tide coming in and having to walk through the sea (maybe up to your knees) to get to the entrance so wear appropriate clothing.

    When you arrive you head past the bar to the desk which you are welcomed with happy staff who will help you with your bags and direct you to your room.

    map of the Philippines in Outpist Beach Hostel, El Nido

    Rooms 8/10

    There are many rooms to choose from including dorms ranging from 4 – 12 people and the option for a private room. The dorms are very spacious and offer ample space for you to keep your belongings at the bottom of each bed. It’s important to note that the dorms are bunk beds so you may require to stay at the top bunk which many people try to avoid. If it isn’t completely full at the hostel you are able to ask and they will put you in a bottom bunk if there are bottom bunks available.

    The bedding is clean and the rooms are well kept. Very simple but all you can ask for from a hostel and the beds are comfy. Unfortunately they don’t have any privacy in the rooms. Curtains are not provided to give privacy which some may prefer but the- beds do still feel isolated and hidden which is nice.

    Toilet & Showers 9/10

    The toilets are very professional and communal to all the rooms in the Hostel. It’s one large area which has many cubicles that are checked regularly and kept to a really good standard. It’s decor is very modern and all the surfaces are kept clean. The showers are located in the same area as the toilets and are within cubicles just like the toilets. The showers are powerful and warm which is a nice touch for a hostel with hooks for your towel and any clothes you look to change into.

    Communal/social Area 9.5/10

    The communal area is the whole of the downstairs which consists of a reception, bar for drinks and tables and chairs for food and general socialising. It’s a large space which can hold up to 50-75 people perfect for social nights at the Hostel. In the day a lot of people spend their time at the tables eating breakfast/lunch and admiring the views before heading out on their daily adventures. There are even sun loungers and deck chairs provided for anyone that wants to spend time soaking up the sun and relaxing with on the beautiful beach.

    Upstairs there is a quieter communal area which overlooks the beach and ocean which was a favourite space to each breakfast and soak up the morning views. There’s an open space that has sofas for comfort, a space for books and music which is perfect to relax. it’s a less sociable area than downstairs and is often a space used to individual time.

    The Hostel offers an environment for both a quiet evening or a sociable one making it a great hostel no matter your situation.

    Trips 10/10

    The trips are the true selling point for the hostel! They do trips everyday as they have 2 main island hopping tours. The locations are split into tours A,B,C & D. One Tour is A & C and the other is B & D. These tours are very similar and but so different at the same time. They consist of visiting different islands that is close to the town of El Nido with different activities throughout the day.

    A stop off close to an island that is so tiny that you have to swim to… it has no beach and there is a viewpoint at the top. The island was no more than 20 metres by 20 metres but the island had enough height above sea level to provide a beautiful view overlooking the waters to admire the picturesque islands in the back.

    There were a few islands that perfect for scuba diving and offered the opportunity to find turtles. Although we didn’t manage to see any, there are popular locations that see many turtles in the wild. We were just unlucky. Some of these islands will offer drinks and snacks on the beach by locations and you are free to explore as you wish. If you don’t want to snorkel, you can explore down the coast or venture into the island further. Maybe plays some games with locals or other boat trip goers. Or just enjoy the view, sit back and relax on the beaches!

    One of the islands is remembered very fondly as we played a game of volleyball with some locals on a random island. They didn’t speak any English and there was no way to communicate but all was needed was a volleyball. We split the teams up so we had some locals to make it fair and we played a game. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had! The best part of it was we played volleyball as the sun started to set! It was magical!

    Also on the tour there is lunch provided which consists of a large fresh fish that is cooked whole and so soft! The fish was beautiful and there was also pork and chicken provided with rice and a handful of other options. There was also fruit provided which was super fresh! Watermelon and Pineapple is provided and you can eat as much as you want. We enjoyed this on one of the many beaches on the beach. They brought a table to set up to plate all the food on! The other trip had a stop which had a beach hut built on the side with benches and a table so food was served here!

    Towards the end of each trip simple games were played with the whole boat and losers would be served a shot of the rum provided by the hostel. Everyone was given a shot as mandatory to get people in the mood and was a great way to kill time between islands.

    When heading back and arriving back at the hostel, you were welcomed with an alcoholic beverage which was a lovely touch.

    One of the days we wanted to go to a beach roughly an hour away and one of the workers were happy to take us there in a minibus and charging us a small fee each to do so! We ended up getting 8 or so people to come with and made a full day of it with the staff enjoying the trip also! We visited a few beaches, played volleyball and ate local cuisines. The staff are very flexible and are happy to help with any bookings or plans you have when in El Nido so if you do have a question be sure to ask!

    Location 8/10

    The town of El Nido is only a 5 minute TukTuk and once you get back onto the main road there will be TukTuks waiting or they will stop to ask if you need taking somewhere. You could walk the distance as it isn’t far but a TukTuk makes it easier! You should be able to get a TukTuk for 100/150 Filipino Peso. Make sure to barter and not overpay! There isn’t much to do in the town but there is food spots and a nice town.

    Food (Taste) 8.5/10 (Price) 5/10

    The food at the hostel is super nice! They serve up local foods like Pork Sisig (our favourite) and Chicken Adobo and it’s all freshly made and so flavourful. In the day they offer sandwiches and other snacks which is a great bite to eat while chilling! There is a lot of variety with vegetarian options available also! When you order just let them know you where you are sitting and they will bring the food up to you!

    However, the price of the food is premium and you can find local restaurants that offer their food at a much cheaper rate. In September 2022, the food in El Nido cost roughly 300 peso for dinner with the lunch being slightly cheaper. However, there is a local restaurant round the corner which offers some beautiful homemade dishes for roughly 100/150 Filipino Peso which is a lot more affordable and is only a 5 minute walk.

    We would recommend looking for local restaurants to eating to keep spending down for your trip.

    Breakfast is included when booking a room and is one of the best meals for the day. They provide fresh fruit and beautiful options which will leave you very satisfied for your busy day ahead!

    Facilities

    The Hostel had an ATM on the top floor which was really convenient so you didn’t have to search for one and head into town.

    Overall Review for Outpost Hostel

    The Hostel was an amazing stay and one we would totally recommend when you are heading to El Nido! They customer service really is amazing and they really do improve your experience. The food is lovely and the boat trips really help you to see the surrounding areas which you cannot afford to miss! The rooms are standard but have the necessities needed plus some well kept and modern showers and bathrooms! The evening is organised well to keep travellers busy with games, social activities and more! The hostel is one of the better ones we stayed in during our time in South East Asia so don’t miss out! There’s no better view from a hostel balcony than a morning at Outpost, El Nido!

    Thank you for reading our review of the wonderful Outpost Hostel in El Nido, Philippines! If you are debating whether to book here we would totally recommend it and know you will not be missing out!

  • Vietnam 2 week Travel Itinerary

    Vietnam 2 week Travel Itinerary

    Vietnam is a beautiful country located in South East Asia and is a popular backpacking location for travellers!

    No matter your travel itch, it will for sure be scratched here with bustling cities, rich history, and so much more to get your teeth into. Each location you visit is like a new country itself with it’s unique design and feel.

    People seriously dream of visiting this place, but where in Vietnam shall you start?

    There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but you sure want to make the most of your time here. If you are from the UK, you can spend 1 month here at most before moving on or doing a border run.

    Through personal experiences, stories and research, we have come up with the best itinerary for travelling Vietnam, so look no further!!

    Hanoi: Day 1 to Day 4

    When visiting Vietnam, you are likely going to enter through one of the major cities. This will be either Ho Chi Minh in the south or Hanoi, the capital, in the north. Here, we opt for the north. Hanoi is a busy city that truly never sleeps.

    This would be a great introduction to life in Vietnam and an opportunity to try a lot of the local foods, including Banh Mi. During your time here, you can visit local markets, hit up the local puppet show, or visit the history of Hoa Lo Prison and the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long.

    You can easily find yourself lost in the busy streets of Hanoi but there is beauty wherever you turn and would be a great starting point for you Vietnamese journey!

    Ha Giang Loop: Day 5 to Day 8

    Now, this is one location people won’t think of and maybe only been made aware of due to other people’s experience but this is a MUST DO. For us, this was the best thing we did in South East Asia and something everyone would rave about when speaking about their top things in this part of the world.

    It’s an experience that can very much cater to your itinerary and you can choose the length of time you want to experience this. Only a short 12-hour bus journey from Hanoi. Deep into the northern hills of Vietnam lies a tiny village called Ha Giang that boasts a pretty popular and beautiful sights many visit each year.

    When visited in 2022, it was very popular, so it may be more so now it would still be highly recommended to see. The loop starts from a 1-night stay in the northern hills to a 3-night, 4-day stay. This stay will include travelling, from location to location, all through the northern mountains and staying in various villages and seeing sights along the way.

    The sights include stop offs to meet locals, beautiful vantage points to enjoy the awe-inspiring views, homemade, local delicacies, and so much more. The itinerary will be laid out by the company you choose to do this through, and will give you a rough guide of your day-to-day activities.

    All this travelling through the mountains will be done on a motorbike so get your license ready or get a joy rider to do it for you, either way, the experience will be a once in a lifetime trip you will not regret!

    For more information on this, check out our blog on the Ha Giang full experience here. And make sure to try the veggie spring rolls!!

    Da Nang/Hoi An: Day 9 to Day 11

    Now, moving further south in Vietnam to a beachside location full of surprises. Da Nang is a powerful, coastal city surrounded by places to explore and local attractions.

    Firstly, a day trip/night stay in Hoi An is required to experience the floating markets, beautiful handmade clothing and so much more. This place is likely venturing through a Disney film with it’s vibrant colours and feel. In the evening, the locals sometimes set off lanterns on the river providing a beautiful image as the sunsets.

    Here is the home of leather wallets, tailored clothing, jewellery and so much more in Vietnam and a great place to explore when you have a little money spare from your trips.

    After leaving Hoi An, you have options…

    You can either venture to Ba Na Hills to see the hand bridge and venture up cable cars to the hidden cloud city in the mountains. Believe it or not there is a theme park up there and you can stay overnight for an amazing experience, something we weren’t aware of at the time. The hand bridge is the one you see on Instagram; however, be prepared for the views to be covered by the clouds because, yes, you really are super high into the clouds.

    Or you can head to the Temples of My Son, which are deserted historic relics that you can find yourself exploring till your hearts content. This is a unique and unheard of UNESCO heritage site that not many travellers visit and have stood for centuries. To be specific, the relics here were built between the 4th and 13th century for Indian Kings and rulers and they really do still stand today.

    Unfortunately, the Vietnam War saw to that some were destroyed, but large building still stand erect and strong even after all these years. It’s a great location to just wander for the day, see where the path takes you. Some people opt to visit there via bike to be able to visit the UNCESCO site and see all the beauty it has, and upon reflection, wish we did the same!

    (both of these locations would lead you to head back to Hanoi and complete your 2 week trip! However, if you opt for neither of these, you have the opportunity to spend a couple days at one last location…

    Ha Long Bay: Day 12 to Day 14

    This is one of the natural wonders of the world and the views are not to be underestimated. Here, you can find yourself on the water, weaving between hundreds of tiny, uninhabited islands boasting all of its natural green beauty.

    The water and bay are something to admire for sure, and worth the long trip to the City from the (likely) capital. However, don’t be fooled by the large, tall buildings in the city of Ha Long Bay as the city feels deserted and baron.

    When exploring the streets, it was really difficult to find anywhere to find a place to eat or shops open. Maybe it was the time of year we visited (November) or something, but it wasn’t what was expected.

    However, the Bay is really something to admire and a wonder that shouldn’t be slept on. You have the opportunity to explore caves, visit Ti Top island, and go kayaking to look for wild monkeys! The great thing about Ha Long Bay is that the locals to preserve the natural beauty and therefore make sure that it is kept well even with many tourists visiting it throughout the year.

    If you don’t know already, Vietnam is really a beautiful country, and a trip here would be a huge highlight reel for you in many years to come. The country really does boast a beautiful mix of amazing foods, loving people, historic sights, natural wonders and so much more. And even in 2 short weeks you can find a way to experience all this and more!!

    W would however recommend a whole month in the country to really explore and soak in the country has to offer. It truly is amazing and a location we could not recommend for new travellers, avid travellers, or generally anyone in this world.

    If you have been to Vietnam before or any of these locations, we would love to know your thoughts and recommendations on any locations that are a MUST to include in this 2-week itinerary.

  • Boat Noodle Alley; The best authentic Thai Noodles?

    Boat Noodle Alley; The best authentic Thai Noodles?

    Bangkok is famous for its vibrant street food culture, and few dishes capture this spirit like boat noodles. These tiny bowls of flavor are not just budget-friendly but also offer a taste of Thai culinary traditions. With prices that won’t break the bank, you can enjoy a satisfying meal while exploring the city’s lively food scene. So, we bring you Boat Noodle Alley.

    The late 1700’s saw Bangkok canals being a big place for trade, and vendors in wooden boats would paddle up to potential customers with shallow bowls of noodle soups (to avoid spillages), however, as the 1970’s came vendors were forced to come to land. Now, you find an alley of noodle spots north of the Victory Monument, where you can have your own taste of these authentic Thai foods!

    In this adventure, we visited two popular noodle shops: Pa Yak Boat Noodles and Baan Kuay Tiew Ruathong Noodles. Each offers a unique experience, showcasing their take on this beloved dish. One is all about quality over quantity (both are v good though), while the other cranks up the heat for spice lovers.

    Cost-effectiveness and spice levels stand out as key features in our noodle exploration. Whether you’re looking for a tasty meal on a budget or a fiery culinary challenge, Bangkok’s boat noodle stalls have something for everyone.

    This blog post is based on our newest vlog which you can check out here!

    *This post contains affiliate links, which we may earn from. This does not come at an additional cost, but helps us to pursue this dream 🙂

    Pa Yak Noodles

    Noodle Variety and Prices

    At Pa Yak Boat Noodles, the menu is limited to just four variety options. Each bowl costs a mere 18 baht, roughly 40-45p. This price is hard to beat, especially in a city noted for its street food. When you think about dining out in Europe or North America, you could pay four times that amount for just a snack, making this a fantastic deal for travelers.

    Flavour Profile and Texture

    The dishes here feature an interesting range of noodles. Options include slippery glass noodles and wide, flat noodles. The rich broths are packed with flavor, accompanied by various toppings like tender meat and veggies. We also got the best bowl of crispy pork crackling. The overall experience is marked by complex flavor profiles, making each bowl stand out, despite the limited variety.

    Ambiance and Service

    Situated by the river, Pa Yak Boat Noodles offers a unique dining atmosphere. Though the view may not be picturesque, the lively vibe adds to the experience. However, the service was a bit direct, which can be common in tourist-heavy areas. A bit of patience goes a long way when navigating a language barrier.

    Baan Kuay Tiew Ruathong Noodles : A Spice Lover’s Dream.

    Expanded Menu and Options

    In contrast, Ruathong Noodles boasts a more extensive menu with nine options. Diners can choose from a variety of noodle types and proteins, including pork and beef. This breadth makes it appealing to those looking to explore different flavors in one visit.

    Spice Levels and Flavor Intensity

    Ruathong Noodles is a haven for those who enjoy spicy food. The heat levels vary dramatically from one dish to the next. For example, the glass noodles come with a mild broth, while other options fire up your taste buds with intense heat. The lingering spiciness makes for an exciting meal, but be warned: not all dishes are suitable for the timid (like us).

    Ambiance and Service at Ruathong Noodles

    Ruathong Noodles offers an energetic atmosphere. You can see chefs crafting noodle dishes right before your eyes. This behind-the-scenes look can be quite entertaining and adds to the overall dining experience. The service was friendly, making it a more welcoming spot compared to Pa Yak Boat Noodles.

    Comparing the Two Boat Noodle Experiences

    Price and Value

    When it comes to overall cost, both restaurants offer amazing value. At Pa Yak Boat Noodles, four small bowls and a large bowl can leave you full for about 150 baht (around £4). Meanwhile, Ruathong Noodles, with its more extensive menu, still maintains a comparable price point for the quality and variety offered.

    Flavour and Spice Comparison

    Both of these establishments on Boat Noodle Alley deliver impressive flavours, but they cater to different taste preferences. Pa Yak Boat Noodles provides a delightful experience with its well-balanced flavors. In contrast, Ruathong Noodles is perfect for those who crave spicy dishes. In essence, both places deliver satisfying meals but appeal to different preferences.

    Recommendations Based on Spice Tolerance

    If you enjoy a mild meal and are exploring local fare, Pa Yak Boat Noodles is the place to go. On the other hand, for the spice aficionado, Ruathong Noodles is a must-visit. Understanding your spice tolerance can help you choose the right spot for an unforgettable meal.

    Beyond the Noodles: Tips for Exploring Boat Noodle Alley

    Communicating in a non-English speaking environment can be daunting. Learn a few basic Thai phrases or use translation apps to help order your food smoothly. Keep it simple; locals often appreciate the effort, even if you stumble over the words.

    Exploring Other Food Options

    Boat Noodle Alley is bustling with street food vendors offering various delicacies. Take your time to explore beyond noodles. You might discover hidden gems, like fresh fruits or savory snacks that complement your meal.

    Budgeting for Your Trip

    When planning your food budget, consider that meals at these noodle spots range from 18 baht to about 50 baht per bowl. With such low prices, you can try multiple dishes without worrying about costs.

    Conclusion: A Delicious and Affordable Bangkok Adventure

    Visiting Pa Yak Boat Noodles and Ruathong Noodles on Boat Noodle Alley reveals the rich diversity of Bangkok’s food scene. Each place brings its unique flavor and experience to the table. While Pa Yak Boat Noodles stakes its claim on affordability and classic flavors, Ruathong Noodles fires up the palate with spicy selections.

    Boat noodles in Bangkok offer a tantalizing and budget-friendly culinary adventure. Whether you’re wary of spice or eager for a challenge, these establishments have something for every palate. Dive into the delicious world of boat noodles, and don’t forget to share your experiences with fellow travelers!

  • Pai Revolution Hostel

    Pai Revolution Hostel

    Planning a trip to Pai on your Thailand trip? This hostel is a top pick for visiting, from top-tier trips and discounts, social evenings, free dinners, a pool, the list goes on! Carry on reading to find out exactly why we loved Revolution hostel so much, and how you can visit when you go Pai, Thailand!

    *There are affiliate links in this post – they do not come at any extra cost to you, but just means we can earn commission to help us pursue this further 🙂

    Revolution Hostel in Pai, Thailand.

    Location

    Pai is located deep into the northern hills of Thailand and quite a journey away from it’s nearest city (if you have endured the 4-hour journey from hell you will know). It’s a super popular spots for travelers and nomads to visit/stay in as it’s a small place with lots of character and activities.

    Revolution actually have 2 hostels located in Pai with the one we stayed at being by the river (Pai Riverside). But they also have the one in centre of Pai (Pai Town). The one in the centre, as expected, is closer to the busy streets and has a more city hostel to it whereas the riverside hostel is slightly outside giving it a countryside feel. Either way, you will be located no more than 10 minutes away from the centre of Pai which is ideal for those who wants to wander through the beautiful, quirky streets.

    On the same street as Pai Riverside, you have a few takeaway spots for a late snack but also a gym which is very handy if you are looking to keep in shape while you are travelling. Also, there are a handful of bars and local (and not so local) restaurants dotted close by with a 7/11 of course within a 5 minute walk.

    Hostel Room Experience

    The room overlooks the river which was a lovely view and easy to get to. But the room itself was perfect! It had all the basic amenities expected in a hostel room with curtains that offers a good sense of privacy. There are also sizable cages that are meant for you luggage with an option to lock away your bags while you explore for the day.

    The beds were super comfy and blankets were supplied also. The en-suite was roomy and was very clean considering it was a hostel. Shelves were placed near the heads where you sleep so you can store your phones and any other important items close overnight.

    Other Rooms Available

    For dorms, the options are a 10, 8, or 4 bed which start at 549 Baht a night (roughly £12.50). Other rooms include some very cool alternatives which we have not seen from hostels before! So they have a twin room which is a simple 2 person room but they also offer bungalows which are located separately to where the hostels are. These bungalows are surrounded by small gardens to make it feel like you aren’t staying at a hostel at all. The bungalows come as 3 options… a 2 person bungalow, a deluxe bungalow (for 2) or a family deluxe bungalow (for 4). So you can truly live in style at Revolution and enjoy all perks that comes with staying with revolution!

    bungalows available at Pai Revolution Hostel

    Social Areas

    As we visited during the rainy season, it was hard to make the most out of the social areas that are provided a the hostel. However, there is no better place to start than the pool!! Yes, they have a pool and it’s located outside next to the river. It’s a great place to meet people and take a chill day to just swim and relax.

    The other main social area is around the reception which consists of long tables which is a great place to eat in the evening and where some activities take place in the evening. There is also a pool table and some other machines to keep you occupied and a roof to stop any bad weather from ruining your time. The bar is located in the centre of this social area so make sure to grab a drink and enjoy your time socializing here!

    Social Areas at Pai Hostel

    You certainly cannot forget the local pets! The hostel has roughly 7 dogs which are all owned by the hostel. These are looked after well and can wander free as they wish. They usually chill in the social areas and greet each guest with the expectation of strokes. So make sure to give them a fuss! Also, a local friendly dog called mushroom is adorable and loves to turn up, we were lucky enough to see him enjoying the high life at Rev!

    Dog at Pai Revolution

    Events

    This can be split into two parts… firstly, the evening events that the hostel have on is to allow people to socialise and make amazing memories together. Each night they offer a local meal cooked which you can enjoy completely free and then a designated activity afterwards. The activity we took part in was their weekly quiz night!! Each event is a great laugh and has some highly desired prizes on the line (if you like a drink!!) An event is planned each night and they are normally free to join so make sure to be social and get involved!

    The other types of events the hostel provide are the tours!

    The tours at Revolution are out of this world and they really don’t stop in Pai! These include tipsy tubing, pub crawls, hot springs, cave exploration and SOO MUCH MORE! We opted for the canyon at sunset and witnessed an amazing sunset over the large canyons in Pai. The views were immaculate and really was a great way to wind down in the evening after a busy day.

    Also, we decided to visit the bamboo bridge which was a great way to explore local rice fields and wander the bridges. The experiences we had are ones we truly enjoyed and we definitely look to coming back to Pai and seeing more one day! And of course, come back to the Riverside Pai for more unforgettable experiences.

    Overall Experience

    Riverside Pai was an amazing place to stop over at whilst in Pai. It was a great place to stay and allowed us to meet some great people. The tours we attended were affordable but also allowed us to see some of the beautiful parts of Pai even though it was rainy most of the time. The social areas were great and really gave the hostel some life in the evening and we would recommend anyone who is heading to Pai to stay at the Riverside in Pai.

    We hope you enjoyed our breakdown of our experience and overview of the Riverside Pai in Thailand and you can check out Revolution ‘here’ for more locations, bookings and more!

    Location

    Chiang Mai is one of the largest cities outside of Bangkok in the north of Thailand. However, the centre of Chiang Mai is a small quarter which is surrounded completely by an old moat with a few bridges crossing. The Revolution Hostel is located on the east side of the centre inside the moat allowing for easy walks to the centre and even perfectly placed between the two largest markets in the area.

    Also, around the corner are quite a few breakfast and food spots which are highly rated, and bars across the road if you like some nightlife. Don’t forget there is always a 7/11 around the corner which is always handy for snacks, drinks and more.

    Artwork in Chiang Mai's Revolution Hostel.

    Hostel Room Experience

    The hostel room we stayed in was a 4 person dorm right next to the pool which was perfect! The room itself had good space and much needed luggage room under the bed for storage. The bed were suuuper comfy and had shelves for storage as well as a curtain if you aren’t feeling too social.

    The en-suite is one of the better touches with a large bathroom. It’s rare to find an en-suite in Thailand with a hostel that is large enough to separate the toilet and shower to avoid any issues. The room overall was a great offering for the price and had all you needed in a dorm room in Chiang Mai.

    Other Rooms Available

    The Hostel has many other rooms available for your preference. These include a 4/6/9/10 bed dorms as well as private rooms. Some of these dorms have a unique style. The 9 bed dorm is a 3 tier bunk bed which we have never seen before. The other dorms are as usual and offer the same facilities as the 4 bed dorm we described above.

    The private rooms are a great spot for a small group of friends or couples. Sometimes you need a break away from the busy dorms so do check out the private rooms available. Some of the private rooms offer 3 beds so if you have 2 friends then why not. The rooms are super spacious and are actually tucked away from the social areas of the hostel which offer a quieter experience.

    Social Areas

    The hostel has 2 main social areas with one being the pool area. Here is it busy during the day with many enjoying the pool and the games in the area – whereas others might just be enjoying the weather and relaxing ready for the evening. Considering you are in a large city, it’s pretty surprising to see a hostel with a pool. But it definitely changes your experience so much! There are also tables alongside the pool for games such as beer pong and a newly opened drinks bar where you can enjoy alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks during the day.

    The main social area around the reception at the entrance to the hostel. Here you have benches which are ideal to social on with a bar to get drinks throughout the day and into the evening. This space also has an upstairs area which unfortunately was being renovated during our stay but is perfect for travellers who are working while they travel. Its can also be used as a quieter space. In the social area they have a large board which outlines the evening activities alongside tomorrows evening activities and a whole host of tours that the hostels provide – but we shall get onto this later.

    Activity Schedule in Revolution Hostel

    An important but small addition to this area is a water outlet for drinking. It costs 1 Baht to fill up a normal sized water which is crazy cheap but also stops people from reusing plastic bottles to help the environment. Lovely touch.

    This area is usually where the hostels evening events will start. The people attending will be given a time to meet in this area and mingle before heading out for the evening. It’s a great spot to meet people and have a few drinks before the event.

    Events

    The hostel offers a wide range of events for their guests and they really don’t disappoint. The one we enjoyed the most was the elephants we visited! This experience truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one we won’t forget. The best part of the experience really was that the elephants were protected and are allowed to roam. During our trip, we spent the time looking for the elephants and finding them. The elephants were of course eating and relaxing where we spent some time stroking and taking photos of them. Once we finished, we went on a short walk to a local waterfall and enjoyed the water which was super relaxing. For Aimee, it was her 1st waterfall so she absolutely loved it!!

    Ethical Elephant Sanctuary trip organised in Chiang Mai.

    We wandered back to the main area where the elephants were enjoying time in the local river and we joined in! We ended up washing the elephants and spending time with them before have a lovely lunch overlooking the elephants enjoying their lunch also. The experience was honestly amazing and we would totally recommend anyone who visits Chiang Mai Revolution to go on this experience! The other events include a pub crawl, watching Muay Thai fighting, Cooking classes, sticky waterfall and Drag Queen Cabaret!

    The events are very broad which caters to many people and are very reasonably priced for the experiences. We would recommend doing atleast 2 experiences while at the hostel as all the people we spoke with during our stay said they were totally worth it.

    Would We Recommend

    The hostel offers a whole host of room options to stay with the needed amenities in each. The beds were comfy and there was ample space for your luggage to store. The social areas are really the highlight of the hostel with a swimming pool and loungers! This is pretty rare for a hostel in the city and is a great addition. They also have a bar so if you want a chill day, you can enjoy the pool and drinks at the bar in peace. However, they also have an evening social spot to enjoy and meet people. It’s the perfect place to meet fellow travelers and like-minded people.

    The events and activities during the day and in the evening really are the star of the show for the hostel. You can enjoy some crazy nights and unforgettable experiences with the hostel and we couldn’t recommend it more!

    The hostel is more than just a nights stay, they provided a family feel and allow you to get the most of your experience in Chiang Mai whether it’s a 2-day stop or you are here for weeks!

    We also wanted to highlight a big thank you to Lyndsey, the manager at Revolution Chiang Mai; Jack fell extremely ill during his stay in Chiang Mai, and needed a hospital visit. Lyndsey and the Revs team did everything they could to help in this situation, and we were SO grateful of their help and assistance throughout our stay.

  • Revolution Khaosan by the Bliss – Bangkok Hostel

    Revolution Khaosan by the Bliss – Bangkok Hostel

    Need to central hostel in the heart of Bangkok? Then look no further than Khaosan by the Bliss, a Revolution social hostel right on the famous Khao San Road in Bangkok! From social evenings, great facilities, plenty of events and the best social atmosphere, this hostel is one to check out!

    This is a very social hostel, so for those who want the most relaxing atmosphere, this may not always be for you. However, if you want to have a good time, get involved in fun evening activities, and meet lots of cool people, then this is the hostel for you!

    Want to book your stay at Khaosan by the Bliss? Find out more here!

    *There are affiliate links in this post – they do not come at any extra cost to you, but just means we can earn commission to help us pursue this further 🙂

    *This was a gifted stay, however all views are our own and genuine to our experiences.

    Revolution Khaosan by the bliss hostel in Bangkok

    Location

    Revolution Hostel in Bangkok is located perfectly off Khao San Road with a small alleyway taking you to the start. It is remarkably quiet considering only a stone’s throw away is the hustle and bustle of Khao San but it’s no means silent. Revolution always seem to locate near a 7/11 which is perfect for their customers to grab snacks from.

    The side street offers a few food spots but is otherwise quiet with limited activity during the day.

    Revolution also offer further stays in these locations : Chiang Mai, Pai, Kanchanaburi (new site) and Koh Tao, with more coming soon! We will be sharing further reviews on these other hostels.

    Private Room Experience

    At Revolution Bangkok, we stayed in a private room which had all the required amenities for our stay. The room was big enough for us 2, and also offered a separate toilet and shower room which was a nice touch. The shower room was rather large which can definitely be a problem when staying in Hostels in a city.

    The room also had great storage space for all your gear. But one of the best features was a mosquito covering around the windows to allow for natural air in at night but none of the bugs. Mosquito bites can be an issue in South East Asia so these nets really helped us sleep easy at night!

    Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay but they offer both westernised and local options at a budget-friendly cost! Perfect for any traveller.

    Other Rooms

    For dorms, Revolution offer 16, 10, 8, 6 & 4 bed dorms. So if you don’t mind the larger rooms, or want a smaller dorm, they have options for you. They also offer female only dorms if you would rather. All of these rooms come equipped with your own bed, a towel, access key, shared bathroom access, a bed light and personal charging port which is essential for all travellers. Find out more here.

    Social Areas

    The social areas are great! They have a balance of busy and quiet which suits any of their guests. First up, is the quiet reception area that is a great place to order and eat food, enjoy the peace or relax with friends. Here they have tables dotted about and even offer some board games which is the perfect ice-breaker for meeting new people.

    The outside area is where it’s at! This is where all the evening activities and entertainment happens which includes gender bender night, quiz nights and so much more. Here there are benches which soon fill up in the evening and they even have a pool table. There is also an outside bar and a small stage in the corner where they present the events. Beyond the pool table is a small stone garden area with stalls and tables for when the social areas are super busy.

    Bar area at Revolution Hostel Bangkok
    Reception area at Khaosan By the Bliss in Bangkok
    Social Card Evening at Khaosan by the Bliss Bangkok
    Revolution Khaosan by the Bliss Outside Seating

    Tours Available

    The hostel offer a great display of tours in Bangkok including temple hopping, river boat tour and a pub crawl. Although we didn’t partake in these tours during our stay, we did enjoy their gender-bender night activity and later in the night joined some rev reps and rev enthusiasts out on Khao San Road to a nightclub. The evening was really fun and turned out to be a late one… 5am!!

    If we had more time we would have loved to enjoyed a river boat tour and maybe even the pub crawl but all of the people we met highly recommended the tours.

    Would We Recommend

    Revolution, Khao San By The Bliss is by no means everyone’s cup of tea but if you LOVE party, or even just travelling alone and want to meet people, then this is the hostel for you. The hostel do amazing with creating ice-breakers to meet fellow travelers and organise some amazing trips for all to enjoy. The daily evening events really offer some great entertainment even if you want to sit and observe the carnage.

    Staying in the dorms have good privacy considering you are sharing the room with others. The curtains give good privacy, and you have all the space required for your luggage and more! The private rooms are very similar to a hotel as they are super spacious and provide great comfort when you need a night away from dorms.

    The social areas really are the hotspot for the hostel and provides more than enough space to meet people and have a great time during your stay. The staff are also very welcoming and supportive when you are staying and are happy to help with any further plans out of or around the city. We would totally recommend staying at this hostel and when we visit Bangkok again, we look to stay here!

  • Back Home Backpackers – Bangkok Hostel Recommendation

    Back Home Backpackers – Bangkok Hostel Recommendation

    Bangkok is a city full of adventure, and a hotspot for travellers from around the world. From crazy food, beautiful temples, stunning city vibes and so many different things to do, Bangkok is a place to visit for sure!

    While in Bangkok, there is an abundance of places to stay. Our stay was split between Back Home Backpackers (perfect calm hostel) and Revolution Khaosan By the Bliss (perfect social hostel), which we will share about in a future post. However, let us share about our stay in Back Home Backpackers!

    *This post contains affiliate links, which we may earn from. This does not come at an additional cost, but helps us to pursue this dream 🙂

    *This hostel stay was gifted, but all views are genuine and our own.

    2. Hostel Room Experience
    3. Other Rooms Available
    4. Private Room
    5. Social Areas
    6. Would we recommend
    7. Want help planning your Thailand adventure?
    8. Find our Travel Essentials!

    Location

    Based near the tourism centre of Khaosan Road in Bangkok, this Hostel is within close walking distance to the popular road, however is far enough away it doesn’t feel *too* touristic considering the proximity. It is right across from a 7/11 , so you can imagine the amount of toasties we have eaten (we know it’s a lot!!!). It was tucked up a side road, but we found it easily accessible by grab (which we used a lot in Thailand).

    Khaosan road is a hotspot for many travellers and tourists alike. It has a bustling nightlife that will easily take you into early hours (or even later…). However, for those who dislike the loudness and nightlife, finding a hostel within a close distance that is calm can be a struggle.

    It’s also known to have some of the best local foods spots in the area so be sure to check them out, you won’t regret it.

    Hostel Room Experience

    Whilst we stayed at Back Home Backpackers, we stayed in their 10 bed dorm.

    Each dorm had plug access and a light, multiple fans across the room, a pretty street view, privacy curtains on each bed, ladders for top bunks, and two bathrooms with showers in both.

    Bathrooms came with shampoo and shower gel to use, with towels available. Breakfast can be arranged at an additional cost.

    We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were comfy, and after our long flight to Bangkok it was highly appreciated!!! There were different wifi hubs available throughout the hostel meaning it was easy enough to be connected around the hostel. The facilities were somewhat simple, but all that was needed for our stay!

    Dorm Bed in Back Home Backpackers

    Bathroom facilities in Back Home Backpackers

    This 10 bed dorm starts from around £8.50 per night (always varies per season), and can be booked here.

    Other Rooms Available

    For dorm rooms, Back Home Backpackers offer rooms of 8 to 10 beds for mixed dorms, however they do offer a dorm room of 4 for just female visitors if this is something you prefer.

    Private Room

    There are options of single, twin, double and triple bed rooms within this hostel. They range from around £25 upwards a night, but there are some great options to check out! We didn’t personally stay in a private room, but from reviews and photos these seem a great option.

    Social Areas

    We loved the social areas! Great for digital nomads and freelancers, there were plenty of seating arrangements and areas, with internet and electric access for easy working!

    Common room area in Back Home Backpackers
    Digital Nomad space at back home backpackers in Bangkok

    There was food and drink facilities available which were highly recommended by the people around us!

    During high season it seems like they offered a range of activities, however since we visited in low season it seems like they didn’t offer many night time activities. This isn’t really an issue, since Bangkok is full of many fun things to do day or night.

    Would we recommend

    We would recommend staying at Back Home Backpackers! They have a really friendly atmosphere, perfect for digital nomads looking for a chill vibe. This isn’t a busy hostel, so those looking for a vibrant nightlife, we wouldn’t recommend here- unless you want close proximity to Khaosan road with a chill ‘base’.

    With great wifi available, and lots of space to work from your laptop, this is a nomad haven to relax in the busy city. You can find and book Back Home Backpackers here.

    24 Fun Facts about Singapore

    Singapore is the only island city-state in the world

    There are 3 city states in the world which are The Vatican and Monaco whose capital is the same as the country. With Singapore being the only one out of the 3 being an island.

    The most expensive city in the world in 2022

    This includes the average cost of a car being over £60,000!! They share the crown with New York so we wouldn’t be looking to move and live in Singapore anytime soon.

    One of the Greenest cities in the world

    They pride themselves on sustainability and greenery with many parks in their country. They boast natural amentities across the country even in their airports! Singapore is the most sustainable city in Asia.

    Singapore means Lion City

    This is named from a Sumatran prince in the 14th century who encountered a lion in Singapore! Lions aren’t seen in Singapore so it’s likely to be a tiger, but nonetheless, the name still stuck.

    6th Safest country in the world

    In 2023, Singapore is named the 6th safest country in the world! They are the safest country in Asia with the leading country being Iceland.

    Chewing gum is illegal

    If you don’t know already, Singapore is a very clean country and the government believe that allowing gum will change this. Therefore, gum is banned to avoid people littering in the streets and you can be fined if you are caught with it.

    World’s Best Airport

    Changi Airport is one of the largest in the world and boasts many activities which can keep you busy for days! They have an huge shopping mall which you could walk around for hours. In certain terminals, you can enjoy a 24 hour cinema which is a great way to spend time or watch some new films while waiting for your flight.

    The main attraction is the largest indoor waterfall which is located in the centre and is surrounded by gardens which offers a beautiful aesthetic view.

    Largest Orchid garden in the world

    This orchid garden holds over 1,000 orchids with over 2,000 hybrids in the garden which is filled with colour. It’s a popular destination with 200 VIP orchids which can only be seen at this garden.

    Singapore flag hidden meaning

    The simple Singaporean red and white flag has hidden meanings showing the core values of the country. The red and white bold colours signify brotherhood & equality and purity & virtue respectively. The moon representing the growth of a young nation with the 5 stars each having individual meanings. These are peace, democracy, justice, equality, and progress

    Maximum height on Singapore buildings

    The government created a law meaning that any buildings constructed cannot exceed the height of 280 metres. However, the Tanjong Pagar Centre was granted special permission and exceeds the limit by almost 4 metres to be the tallest building in Singapore.

    Military Service is Mandatory

    It is mandatory for all Singaporeans to serve in the military for 1 – 2 years once finishing school. Not only this, but they are required to serve every year in some aspect until they reach the age of 40.

    Richest population in the world

    It is said that for every 6 people in Singapore, one is a millionaire in USD! This is why they can survive in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

    Littering is Illegal

    If you are found to drop small pieces of rubbish on the floor you are likely to be fined S$100 and larger objects including bottles can lead to community service. This would be cleaning parts of the city and wearing a bright bib which intends to embarrass the worker to onlookers to avoid repeat offenders.

    Super Hot Country

    Singapore is known to be very warm even during their winter months. The lowest temperature ever recorded in the city was in 1934 where the weather was 19.4 degrees. This can be like a summers day in Europe!

    National Tree Planting Day

    Singapore celebrate a niche holiday called national tree planting day on the 7th of November. This is where Singaporeans will take time to plant trees throughout Singapore and can even be a popular gift for weddings and birthdays.

    Durian Love & Hate

    Durian is a popular fruit that is sold and consumed in Singapore which is odd for travellers to see. However, it is illegal to consume the fruit in public areas including public buildings and public transport so make sure to eat it in private.

    Greenest Country

    Singapore host a whopping 400 parks and 4 nature reserves across it’s small landmass. This is perfect for nature lovers and travellers to wind down in after being in the busy streets.

    Man Made Lakes

    All of the lakes in Singapore are manmade. They have been made to store fresh water. This means there are NO natural lakes at all in Singapore.

    Unnatural Beaches

    Not only do they have man made lakes, but also beaches! Singapore have been known to purchase sand from neighbouring countries. Therefore, some of the beaches you visited might just be a mix from countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

    Lowest Crime Rates

    We know already that Singapore is the safest country in the world but it also has one of the lowest crime rates! There are strict penalties for any offenders to stop anyone even thinking about it!

    Sentosa Island dark history

    Sentosa island is a popular island at the south part of the country. The island hosts tourist attractions like Universal studios, SEA Aquarium, luxury hotels and so much more! However, in 1942 it was used during the war and earned it’s nickname ‘The Island of Death From Behind’. Creepy right!

    Using others WIFI is Illegal

    Yes, this is right! If you are caught using someone else’s WIFI you may be given a fine as it is Illegal to do so in Singapore!

    Singapore Kindness Movement

    This movement was started to teach kids and parents the correct manners and etiquette to Singaporeans. This is created by the government to create a better atmosphere in Singapore so people are more friendly and respectful of others.

    Crazy High Reward for Paris 2024 Olympics

    The Olympics is very popular in Asia and the countries are known to be very successful. Singapore however is a small country that doesn’t often win medals so they have created an incentive for any Singaporeans to win a gold this Olympics. The reward is a staggering £700,000 which is one of the highest awards in the whole Olympics. They really want the best don’t they!

    Now that’s all for the fun facts on Singapore. Now you are ready to visit the beautiful country and learn more when you are there! Just make sure not to litter at all or try to use others WIFI as you may be there longer than expected.
