Matters needing attention and taboos in Singapore tourism

Singapore is a highly developed country with perfect urban construction system and developed infrastructure. The country is a city, and various modern entertainment projects and facilities appear, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world.

Everyone hopes to have a pleasant trip. And the key to success often lies in small details. Especially in a foreign land, the expenses, transportation system, passport system, weather forecast and so on are different. Bian Xiao provides you with tips for traveling in Singapore, so that you can have a smooth and pleasant trip.

Currency problem

The currency used in Singapore is the Singapore dollar (currency symbol S$). Visitors can not only exchange money at Singapore Changi Airport, but also use this service in most shopping centers and hotels on the island. In addition, you can also use ATMs that can be found everywhere in Singapore (even in the most remote areas). Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress and other major credit cards can be used at ATMs.

weather

As we all know, the weather in Singapore is hot and humid, and the climate of the whole island changes little throughout the year. The average temperature during the day is 3 1, and the temperature at night will drop to about 24. The rainy season begins in June 165438+ 10 every year, and it rains almost every day. Therefore, during this period, visitors are requested to make adequate rain-proof preparations every day.

Mobile phone use

The international telephone area code for Singapore is (65). After entering Singapore, if your mobile phone has international roaming service, you don't need to dial (65), because your mobile phone will automatically connect you with the local area code.

No smoking.

Smoking is not allowed in public transport, elevators and some public places except shopping centers, restaurants, entertainment places and cinemas with air conditioning systems.

Consumer guide

Most retailers in Singapore pursue fair business practices, but a few shops and restaurants may make your shopping experience unsatisfactory. To ensure a pleasant shopping experience, we suggest:

1. Shop around and choose the most affordable goods.

Since dealers do not need to implement the suggested retail price of each commodity, the commodity prices of different stores may vary greatly. But almost all local large department stores have clearly marked prices.

Check the price tag of the goods. If you have negotiated the price with the retailer, please confirm the invoice amount before payment. Please check the product information before shopping, such as product model, function, accessories and warranty terms (including geographical scope). Before buying, try to compare the prices of goods or services in different stores.

2. Please pay attention to the matters after purchase.

In Singapore, retailers usually implement strict return and/or refund policies after payment. Before paying, you should ask the retailers about their store policies.

You can also ask the retailer to indicate the return and/or refund policy on the invoice.

3. Check the accuracy of the receipt or invoice.

No matter what you buy, please remember the receipt or invoice asking for a return or refund. At the same time, check whether the price, product description and other information are accurate, and ensure that you will not pay more.

Please check the goods you intend to buy to ensure that they are in good condition and can be used normally. When delivering, pay attention to the accessories, peripheral equipment and gifts (if any) promised by the dealer. It is more appropriate for you to pay after the goods are delivered to you after both parties reach an agreement on the price.

If the price of goods is calculated by weight, such as seafood, fruit, etc. Please check the total price before trading and ask the merchant to indicate the weight. This will greatly reduce misunderstandings or misunderstandings.

With our living conditions getting better and better, the number of people traveling abroad is slowly increasing. During some short holidays, we will choose to live nearby. During some long holidays, many people will choose to travel abroad. Now, traveling abroad will become the main way of traveling in China.

Of course, when we travel abroad, we will basically choose Southeast Asian countries. In many countries in Southeast Asia, this cost-effective way of traveling will naturally be very popular because of the backward economy, low consumption level and low round-trip cost.

However, if you go out to travel, especially for free travel, you'd better do some strategies first. Because I don't understand some local laws and regulations, I sometimes accidentally encounter them, from fines to direct repatriation. Go out, whether at home or abroad, do as the Romans do.

Singapore is also a country visited by many domestic tourists. This country is basically made up of China people. Singapore is also a developed capitalist country, a multicultural immigrant country and the most international country in the world. However, in such a country, there are some wonderful rules that many tourists will accidentally violate, especially those from China. So what should I pay attention to when I go to Singapore?

In Singapore, it is forbidden to take off your coat in public. This kind of behavior is judged to affect the city appearance in Singapore. If this behavior is reported, the maximum fine is S $2,000. I believe no one wants to be fined 2000 for such a thing.

There are certain requirements for being thirsty in Singapore. It is forbidden to drink water on the bus. This is normal for casual people, but if you report such behavior in Singapore, you will also be punished and the whistleblower will get a bonus.

There is also a belief that most countries in the world are like this, and Singapore is also quite strict. If there are beautiful girls walking on the streets of Singapore, basically no one dares to approach or harass them, because sexual harassment is a very serious crime in Singapore, so many boys will keep a certain distance from strange girls on subways and buses.

Of course, these regulations are not aimed at China tourists. In Singapore, these regulations are aimed at all tourists. Of course, many of our China tourists will fall into the previous behavior, especially the prohibition of drinking water in the car. So be careful when you go to Singapore, and don't disturb your wonderful trip.
