use the shop on the left as you walk I to Jomtien immigration, just tell them you want a recisence certificate, they will will out the form, make photo copies and take your picture, then go over, had in your paperwork pay the fee 300 baht I think then pick up you resident certificate at after 3pm if you applied in the morning or at after 9am the next day if you applied in the afternoon. Is very easy to do, but remember the resident certificate is only valid for 30 days so get it when you have purchased a car.. the have the owner meet you at the registration shop, don't ha d over the money until the car had been inspected and you have been told everything is good.
depends what you want, I lived in the city center but Orchard area is very popular, I liked hanging out at Clarke Quay for drinks and around marina bay sands.
I am traveled all over Asia and yes there are sone great places out there but for me Singapore was never dull, I made a lot of local and expat friends so was always going out and loved it there. Now Pattaya is my home so all good
I lived and worked in Singapore for 10 years, far from dull!! It is expensive but lots of great restaurants and bars/clubs and shopping for high end luxury brands
Book direct with the airline or if you use an site like cheap flights, make sure all segments are with a code share airlines , then when you first check in the airline cba check you bag a the way through. If you use 2 different airlines that are not part of the same group the 1st airline will not be able to check.your luggage onto the next flight.
If you want to do a long layover book using multi city, it is very easy to have a night stop.over then carry on, I do this all the time.
