Horses for courses. You listed luxury brands, restaurants bars etc…yep well to me that’s dull and can be found in any Asian capital outside of places like Dhaka etc. I lived in HK for a few years which had all that and to me was more interesting than Singapore. Nepal is more interesting to me than both places and I’ve lived there to. I guess it just depends what you like. You live in Pattaya. I’ve been based in Thailand since the start of my Asia oddesy 26 years ago and never would consider living in Pattaya. Singapore has no meaningful sense of age & also chaos to it, which are the two traits I enjoy Asian cities. Different tastes. 👍
