Experience traditional Thai culture along the river and in the historic home of a legendary entrepreneur. Embrace the new at a spectacular sky bar and a trendsetting restaurant. And don't miss out on the trans-gender cabaret -- evening entertainment with a twist!

With a more relaxed attitude, Singapore is enjoying a cultural boom. Soak it all in at a creative design hotel, brunch in the botanic gardens, a cutting-edge performing arts center, modern cuisine in a classic museum, and a nightspot marrying film, food, and a rooftop bar.
