With Accor points you still need to provide a credit card at checking for any incidentals? You can book a room using points for another person but the other person will still need to provide a credit card or cash as a security deposit. How did you know so fast that someone stole your points and checked into a hotel?
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
