They stayed for around 4 days each time," said, Edward Koh, Executive Director, Southeast Asia, Singapore Tourism Board.
The island country is full of events and festivals year round, as well as packed with concerts and exciting entertainment options. Families can enjoy world-renown attractions such as Singapore Zoo, River Safari, Universal Studios Singapore and S.E.A Aquarium. It is also regarded as a shopper's paradise with options aplenty for all budgets.

Even though you might be frequent travelers to Singapore, there will always be some new activities and experiences that are worth exploring. Under the partnership, VISA and Singapore Tourism Board want Thais to have memorable treasured moments in Singapore," said Ms. Sherleen Seah, Area Director, Thailand & Myanmar, Singapore Tourism Board.
