🧳 If you want to travel, you only need your heart, no need for money. 💵
My first trip to Singapore with an unprepared budget but a willing heart
⸻
Going back almost ten years ago…
I was staring at AirAsia’s promotional ticket for Bangkok–Singapore, round trip for 1,800 baht.
The hand that pressed the booking button didn’t have a lot of money, but my heart wanted to “Go out and see the world once.”
And that was my first international trip.
The time I was the poorest…but I got the most in my life.

💡 4 days 3 nights travel plan (for people who have no money but have heart)
⸻
💤 Day 1 — Arrive at midnight, the airport is cold, but keep going
• ✈️ Landed at Changi at midnight
• No place to stay, so sat in front of McDonald’s all night, tried to sleep, but it was too cold to sleep
• Traveled into the city in the morning by MRT
• Passed Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands, but they were not open yet
• Waited until 10am, then walked to find a very cheap street food shop
• 🏨 Stayed at: 5footway.inn Project Chinatown 2
• Leave the bag first because you can’t check in yet
• Good location, very close to MRT and Chinatown
• 🛕 Continue to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
• Pray for a smooth journey And make life ahead better
• 🦁 Walk to Merlion Park
• Stand and look at the water-spouting lions, thinking to yourself, "Even though we don't have much... we've arrived."
• 🌙 In the evening, come back to eat a single-dish meal at Chinatown and then take a nap to regain your strength.

🏛 Day 2 — All-day museum and special meal with relatives
• 🎟 Visit the National Museum of Singapore
• If you like history and beautiful exhibitions, don't miss it.
• Inside, there are both multimedia zones and interesting antiques.
• Very suitable for those who are on a budget because the entrance fee is not expensive but you get a lot.
• 🍲 Lunch: A relative who works in Singapore took me to eat Bak Kut Teh at a famous restaurant.
• I was touched by both the taste and the kindness that helped fill the day of those who had no budget.
• 💦 Walk in line at the Fountain of Wealth
• The Fountain of Wealth... People with no money come to ask for wealth. It's hopeful.
• 🌇 Evening, enjoy the view at Gardens by the Bay
• This time, I got in. The view from the Skywalk in the evening is the best.
• Take some photos, collect lots of memories.
⸻
🎢 Day 3 — A day to let go and have fun at Universal Studios Singapore
• 🏰 Full-day trip to USS
• Even though the budget is limited, I intend to spend a full day at the theme park.
• Advantages of coming alone: I get to use the Single Rider channel, which allows me to play all kinds of rides very quickly.
• It's as fun as other people, but I pay less (and don't have to wait for anyone).
• 🍛 Evening, come back to eat something easy at Chinatown.
• I don't have the energy to walk far, and I'm running out of money. But my heart is still full.
⸻
🌴 Day 4 — Sentosa, the last round before returning to Thailand
• ⛴ Take a car to Sentosa Island
• Stop to see the big Merlion
• Walk to see the beach view and the atmosphere of the island without spending money
• 📸 Walk around, take the most photos on this trip
• Because I knew I had to go back today
• 🎒 In the evening, I went back to pack my bags and rushed to the airport
• My heart still wanted to stay…but my bag and money told me to go back to Thailand first

💭 Summary of this trip
“You don’t need to have everything…to travel.”
Sometimes, just dare to leave your usual place
Experience will come to you.
• I can’t sleep at the airport
• Walk almost everywhere
• Eat one dish almost every meal
• But I don’t feel lacking… except for “time” that I want more
⸻
📌 For those who want to try this
• Try starting from a nearby country like Singapore
• Use a loose plan, be open-minded
• Don’t let money be the only excuse that makes you not dare to travel
