A Short Getaway in Phuket
I hope you enjoyed this really impromptu video which I didnt even plan on publishing in the first place. I spent a night in Johor Bahru before flying Batik Air from Senai Airport to Phuket via Kuala Kumpur to try out their 737-max product but didn't really have much time to edit those videos. I didn't manage to film the breakfast buffet that was included in the price but it was really impressive due to its variety and quality. There was a dinner buffet that was rather subpar as compared to their breakfast buffet as the variety of items available was relatively small comparsd to the breakfast. Nonetheless, I had a really good stay at the hotel with amazing hospitality from check in the check out. I'm really glad that I managed to edit this video as life has been relatively busy over the past year and a half and thankfully I'll finally be travelling again at the end of the year after my A Levels. Do expect videos from visiting Mt Fuji in Japan all the way to fatbiking above the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway coming your way very soon from December onwards.

Flying on Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Tokyo Narita

It's been a very long while since I've uploaded any vlogs! Recently, I went on a short exchange program with a Japanese school and took the opportunity to film a video on Singapore Airlines! Having flown the same exact route on a similar aircraft on ANA last year, this experience did serve as a great comparison between the 2 airlines. It was a really comfortable and splendid flight apart from t...

The OCBC cycle sportive ride was meant to be a 40km ride but it was cut to 20 after the flag-off timing of the race was delayed due to the rain.

A short getaway in Bintan

The One of a Kind resort was truly one of a kind with its spacious villas and amenities. It was a relatively laid back trip as I got to experience the local culture of Bintan as well as rejuvenate while I was away from the hectic city life I'm Singapore. If you're looking to enjoy the beaches or go snorkeling in calm waters, resorts such as Banyan Tree or Club Med would be a better choice. Havi...

Qatar Airways Flight Review - Singapore to Zurich (Part 1)

It has been ages since I last posted and I'm glad to be back! My first ever vlog on this channel which covers my first time flying out after the Pandemic. The flight on Qatar Airways was rather pleasant in terms of the food and service. However, the B777-300er aircraft was rather cramped and the IFE was rather out-dated as compared to the A350-900 from Singapore to Doha. Doha was pretty similar...

    Fantastic filming and editing, the quality of your videos is always improving and its impressive!! The Pullman looked like a lovely Hotel, you gave us a great room tour and views around the resort. I dislike the open bathrooms especially when travelling with companions, wish Hotels didnt move towards this concept. Thanks for addressing the bugs and mosquito situation in these resort places Thailand and Bali are notorious for mosquitos and you cannot leave the balcony door open to the room, not many reviews point this out so lm glad you did. The snorkelling was fantastic, loved seeing the fish and sea life. What a great trip, thanks for doing this video.

    What a fantastic experience to go to Tokyo on an exchange programme. How many of you went this group? The flight looked standard. Did you not get a snack when you boarded the night before? Only the breakfast was served?. Thanks for doing the impromptu review. 👍

    • @BrendanTheTraveller
      @BrendanTheTraveller 4 місяці тому

      About 30 of us went on this trip, considering the size of the group the separate check-in desk was really fast! They do serve complimentary drinks and snacks but I didn't opt for any as I had gone to sleep 😂

    The time lapse of sunrise over the mountain was gorgeous!! Your ski instructor seemed very proud of your efforts, well done on learning to ski. The last hotel with the onsen was not my favourite, l think ld prefer a Western style hotel. My goodness, the seafood you ate looked absolutely sumptuous and so fresh, l was salivating looking at your meals. Thanks for the travel tips at the end. Loved every minute of this series. I wish you all the best as you head towards a very busy year. Thanks for sharing 👍

    Thankyou for highlighting the issues with lifts in Japan and navigating the train stations with suitcases. It's very important information for those with mobility impairment so appropriate you letting us know.

    Really enjoyed this long video experience of Japan. You went to some great places l had not been familiar with, l looked up the history of Shogun as l also had not heard of him. The first Air Bnb in Tokyo with the 2 bedrooms would be great for families and good location. The second hotel, being close proximity to the station, was also an excellent find. I'd happily spend 1.5-2hrs or longer in the lounge car of the train you travelled back on, that looked very comfortable. Thanks for the narrative at the end it brought the video together 👍

    Welcome back and Happy New Year. This airline is excellent, ld have no complaints about ANA other than the IFE as you mentioned was lacking in shows. Interesting they give out a card with the menu on including pictures, most only have a Menu slip with the words and some just verbally inform each row of the choice so thats a nice touch 👍 That cigarette slot in bathroom, l thought it was a coat hook. So weird its still there. Gorgeous sunrise from Singapore when taking off. Thanks for the review.

      Hi there! Sorry for the late response. Yes the bed should be enough for 2 people, provided that the child is under 12 years old. If you have 2 adults and 3 children going along, it'll be good to have an extra third bed for comfort which can be requested befotehand.

    Loved every second of this video! I felt like if l look away for a split second ld miss some exciting highlights,l had no idea the cable car ran on different lines, so glad they reduced the prices, gives locals more opportunity to go on a trip on them, the Sentosa Fun Pass sounds like another great idea to save on a day out so appreciate you linking this information. You showed so many sights in one video it was brilliant, those crickets wanted to make themselves heard in this video though probably the time of day you went. Thanks so much for all the highlights and interesting facts in one video it's a good one👍 (Have you tried a lunch or dinner cruise on the Royal Albatross?)

      I haven't gone on the Royal Albatross as it's pretty expensive as compared to other attractions. You can actually book a privare Yacht with a guide for a little more that the Royal Albatross experience.
