Travelling Singapore - Bangkok (Day 5)

Today, the trip plans is flying back to Singapore from Bangkok.

We slept until about 9 o'clock, then preparing our luggage for check out from the hotel then head straight to the airport. Our flight is around 2 p.m. To prevent the same overweight luggage my friend decided to wear her clothes almost altogether, in layers, and it is hot in Bangkok that day. The check out process was also a breeze, and they also gave me the cancelled receipt for my credit card transaction. We took the airportlink city line back and arrived around 12 o'clock. On check in process apparently ground airport duty staff on Bangkok is not as strict as the ones at Singapore, they don't even weight our luggage. After checking in, the immigration process, it is a long line there, almost take us half an hour just to get pass the immigration. No delay on the flight and we arrived back at Singapore safely. We go and take our left luggage first then head to our hostel, this time we choose Hangout @Mt. Emily hostel to stay in.

Alight at Little India MRT, we follow the instruction directed by google map application on phone, reached the Mt. Emily road and its a climb up the hill road, but ... almost at the end of the road after almost 15 minutes walking we haven't seen the hostel yet, only dark pathway and a hill, the sign says it is Mt. Emily park. So we search for a different route on google map, it directed us on another way, this time via the Wilkie road. So its another walk down the hill and going up the hill again, until we reached our hostel it took us about half an hour, walking, thankfully i carried a backpack, but my friend had to dragged her suitcase and its not light. And after we reached our room, there is a map there, and there i can see that from Mt. Emily road all we had to do is climb up Mt. Emily park, and when i tried it the next morning it gave us about 15 minutes walking time cut. Overall the hostel is much better then the first time we had, the room are bigger, bed are better, bathroom are more spacious, they even provide us towels, soaps and bottled water. After taking a rest, we decided to search for dinner, and apparently there is another cuttrough pathway just by the hostel entrance which will take us directly in the middle of Wilkie road. We had dinner at the nearest KFC, only 10 minutes walk. Overall the location is only 15 minutes from Little India MRT, if you know the pathway trough the park. After dinner we had back, copied photos and rest. This hostel had a free breakfast (i didnt get to try it), free coffee and tea all day and computers you can use. There is a billiard table but you have to pay to use it.

Next, is Universal Studio Singapore day.
