From Singapore we decided to go to Bangkok. The last time I was here was in 1998. So this trip was 9 years after. The Suvarnabhumi Airport of Bangkok is very modern and HUGE! It is a very big step up from the Don Muang Airport. From the Airport we got a taxi to bring us to our hotel, the Pathumwan Princess Hotel (Located beside the MBK Mall). Suvarnabhumi Airport It was still to early so we left our bags with the Concierge.

Bollywood (Singapore)

When you hear or see the word Bollywood you would think of India and its Film Industry and when you think of a Farm you would not think of Singapore. But in Singapore, there exists a place called "Bollywood" and it is also a Farm.  I never thought that a City State like Singapore had farms, but there are. Located in the Kranji Countryside, Bollywood stands out in Singapore. I had a fun day exploring the farm and seeing all the Fruits and Vegetables they grow. Bollywood is owned by Mrs Ivy Singh Lim and Mr Lim Ho Seng. It is a 10 acre Farm located at 100 Neo Tiew Road, Kranji Countryside, Singapore. Open Wednesday to Sundays 9am to 6pm.
