S'pore 01 Jun-Let's Go Racing
http://www.viator.com/tours/Singapor...d18-3695RACING
I will arr SIN early am 28May through afternoon 02Jun. Staying at www.1bnbsingapore.com This trip and the one I have planned for Sep to Kyoto will be my last two longhauls as I have just about exhausted my supply of M+ miles.
I will be at my leisure during my stay, so, if anyone cares to join me you are very welcomed. Having been to SIN over the years a number of times I am going to revisit some of the places that I have fond memories of. I have not set my schedule as yet, a few places I will visit, brewerkz, cafe Iguana, Golden Village(gold class) World City, Goodwood Park hotel for afternoon Tea, lobby lounge at Holiday Inn Atrium(reasonable happy hour and live house band) and top it all off Fri night at the races.
Should any of you who reside there or are visiting there care to get together let me know.
headinclouds points out by using MRT to races instead of by tour about USD20 can be saved for betting!

Thanks for the invite, 1000k00. It sure would be delightful to see you, but, sadly, we are Seattle bound that weekend.
Let us know if you are ever in the Emerald City. We would love to hook up for a drink or dinner.
Best regards, Punki

I am scheduled to be in SIN 31-May to 4-June. I may be interested in going, but the tour does seem a bit pricey. Round trip on the MRT between City Hall and Kranji station, which is across the street from the race track is $4. The entrance fee to the club level is $20. And that is SGD or about $16 US.

I make the train ride at about :41 EW13 to NS7 plus transfer time at EW24. It seems we would have to do the outbound during rush hour. A 6pm depart seems to be sufficient.
If I might suggest an afternoon High Tea at Goodwood Park Hotel on the 1st(2:30-5pm) or Raffles.

I am not adverse to saving a few $, it is that I do not walk as fast as I once did.

hey John, I can highly recommend 1BnB - stayed in 2 rooms with the wife and 2 teen lads 28-31 Dec last year. Great value, and great staff too.
I'm sure they'll remember the Kiwi guy with the Thai wife that stayed then !
I'm thinking about trying to do teh SIN do on 29 Jul - might try a Tiger cheapie ...
Cheers, TK
