Breaking The Cabin Fever: The Ultimate Guide To Travelling After COVID-19 [Singaporean Edition] | PriceBreaker

<h1 class="font-heading color-primary" style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 1.5em;">Breaking The Cabin Fever: The Ultimate Guide To Travelling Again After COVID-19 [Singaporean Edition]</h1>
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many of our travel plans in 2020, with lockdowns and travel restrictions <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-travel-restrictions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enforced worldwide</a>.
With non-essential travel being put on hold indefinitely, and enhanced measures put in place to curb the spread, many of us are genuinely experiencing <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/surviving-the-cabin-fever-syndrome-while-youre-housebound" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cabin fever</a> for the first time in our lives while remaining housebound.
Of course, our thirst for travel has never been more apparent, and one huge question continues to plague our wandering minds: how can we resume travel when it is safe again?
While we can&rsquo;t predict when we can all finally be free of the coronavirus and its impacts, we can certainly start planning for better times to come. &nbsp;
First, Let&rsquo;s Start Small. Look Within Singapore!
For those who would prefer to hold off flying for a while, and yet can&rsquo;t wait to escape from your homes, you should definitely consider giving our local economy a much-needed boost by starting your journey from within our island. There are so many hidden gems waiting to be explored, and many local businesses that you can support along the way. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">East Singapore</h4>
Take a trip to Changi, where you can take a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk by the beach, watch the sunset, and then top off the day&rsquo;s activities with delicious BBQ seafood at Changi Village and an ice-cold beer at <a href="http://libc.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Little Island Brewery Co</a> or <a href="https://www.thecoastalsettlement.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coastal Settlement</a>.

The Changi Boardwalk 7A Gosport Rd, Singapore 509710 
You may even consider a longer stay in the area, if you&rsquo;d like to also visit the untouched island of Pulau Ubin &ndash; just 15-minutes away via a short boat ride. Check in to Village Hotel Changi, one of Far East Hospitality&rsquo;s nine award-winning Village properties featuring multi-cultural experiences. [Check with us for exclusive <a href="http://www.pricebreaker.travel.travel.click/destinations/singapore">hotel deals</a> all over Singapore.]
&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">North Singapore</h4>
For those with young children, we know it has been an extremely challenging time (we feel you!).
Make plans to let off some steam with a relaxing trip to <a href="http://theanimalresort.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Animal Resort</a>, a kampung-style zoo where you can have close encounters with animals such as horses and fluffy rabbits. Best part of it all: entrance is free.
We&rsquo;re also pleasantly surprised to learn that they even have a Cassowary &ndash; a descendant of the dinosaurs that you would usually only find in Australia, Indonesia or Papua New Guinea. We had been rather privileged to get up close with this majestic bird in <a href="https://www.rainforest.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rainforestation</a>, Cairns, right before the COVID-19 outbreak, but for the time being we recommend that you see it in The Animal Resort. &nbsp;&nbsp;
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/4068fecc/pricebreaker-The-Animal-Resort.jpg" alt="" width="640px" />

&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">Central Singapore</h4>
Speaking of animals, we wonder if our fellow &lsquo;party animals&rsquo; are doing well cooped up at home! 😉
Everyone goes to Clarke Quay for a good time, but once age catches up, you&rsquo;d find that all you want is a peaceful place to chill, relax and catch up over a drink. Hang up your dancing shoes, and head over to Robertson Quay where you can dig into <a href="https://www.laurentbernard.com.sg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laurent Bernard&rsquo;s</a> freshly baked chocolate souffl&eacute;s and lava cakes, then have a taste of whisky from all over the world just next door in <a href="https://www.whisky.sg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Maison du Whisky</a>.
For those who wish to linger longer in this quiet neighbourhood, check in to Warehouse Hotel and experience old-world glamour with its modern, luxurious lofts by the river.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/805e2fb5/pricebreaker-warehouse-hotel.jpg" alt="warehouse-hotel" width="640px" />

&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">West Singapore</h4>
Those who miss exploring China and its endless natural wonders can stave off the wanderlust for a bit with a little trip to Little Guilin in Bukit Batok! You can simply snap a photo for your Instagram account, and prank friends that you are travelling in beautiful Guilin (although the real deal is far more impressive).
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/3ba0668b/pricebreaker-Little-Guilin-in-Bukit-Batok.jpg" alt="" width="640px" />

When it is safe to go beyond Little Guilin, you can also <a href="https://www.pricebreaker.travel/destinations/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">check out our customisable private guided tours to China</a>. Private tours with dedicated drivers offer you real insights into a destination, while allowing you to travel safely and comfortably, and minimise contact with travellers outside of your party.
&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">Plan to Visit our Neighbours in Asia-Pacific, and Help Them in Their Recovery Too</h4>
Prior to the outbreak, many of us in Singapore have been privileged to take full advantage of our proximity to many of the best destinations in the Asia-Pacific &ndash; often venturing to our neighbours up North, and down under to Australia and New Zealand.
The COVID-19 situation, however, has shown us that we should never take this basic freedom for granted, and that each one of us must take extra care of ourselves and the world around us on all our future trips.
While it remains unclear when we can finally visit our neighbours again, and while <a href="https://www.phocuswire.com/travelperk-after-coronavirus-travel-wont-be-the-same" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recovery may continue to be uneven</a>, we are hopeful that the stringent measures taken by APAC governments will pay off and that we may be able to explore the world around us soon.
In the meantime, here is a cheat sheet (accurate as of 20 May 2020) to help you monitor the travel and border restrictions in some of our APAC counterparts.

<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">Be A Responsible Traveller!</h4>
When travel restrictions are lifted across the board, do ensure that you are fit and well enough to go for your planned trips. Prior to your trip, do also get flu shots and vaccines as these will help you avoid catching illnesses that will further weaken your immune system and make you susceptible to secondary infections.
Do also note that travel insurance will <a href="https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/will-my-travel-insurance-cover-coronavirus">no longer cover COVID-19 on policies purchased on or after 12 March 2020</a>, as it now classified as a known risk. For advice on travel insurance coverage, speak to us to our friendly travel consultants to learn more!
&nbsp;
<h4 class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">Go On A Road Trip &ndash; Off The Beaten Track</h4>
When the world recovers, many of us would definitely be planning to go back to the cities and places that we are most familiar with.
In early April, we asked our followers on Instagram (follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pricebreakersg/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@pricebreakersg</a>) which are the places they missed the most. We found out that many young Singaporeans are most eager to return to places like London, South Korea and Japan.
To be on the safer side, we recommend that you choose a self-drive journey or private tour &ndash; and stick to an itinerary that helps you stay close to nature spots while avoiding the usual tourist traps, such as a road trip that will take you around New Zealand&rsquo;s stunning natural landscapes.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/fac73710/pricebreaker-wild-lupins-new-zealand.jpg" alt="" width="640px" />

Brilliantly coloured wild lupins in New Zealand&rsquo;s South Island are slated to bloom at the end of the year. We hope that in time to come, we&rsquo;d be able to drive through Mackenzie Country to enjoy this spectacular sight once again.&nbsp;

<h1 class="font-heading color-primary" style="margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 1.5em;">5 Places Near Singapore To Explore After COVID-19</h1>
As the world recovers gradually from the COVID-19 outbreak, governments are now working together <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-common-health-declaration-travel-asean-chan-chun-sing-12697786" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to prep for the resumption of essential business travel.</a> This may include coordination on health check standards and systems to track infected individuals.
Once essential travel resumes, authorities will then be able to work on implementing processes for leisure travel &ndash; wonderful news for many of us who have deferred our travel plans in 2020!
With increased coordination amongst ASEAN countries, we are hopeful that it would be safe for us to travel to our neighbouring countries soon - once we have finished combing through our island city.

<h4 id="redang" class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">1) Relax or dive into crystal clear waters in Redang Island, Malaysia</h4>
Located in East Malaysia, Redang Island is surrounded by pristine coral reefs and crystal-clear waters &ndash; a perfect hidden sanctuary for snorkelling and diving aficionados. Nature lovers can also go on an undulating 2km rainforest trek between Pasir Panjang and Teluk Dalam beach, and those that are lucky may even encounter a mouse deer along the way! &nbsp;
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/59c577db/pricebreaker-redang-diving.jpg" alt="malaysia-redang-island" />
Plenty of luxurious yet affordable resorts can be found within Redang island - the largest of which being The Taaras Beach &amp; Spa Resort which has its own private beach, and even its own VIP lounge in Kuala Teregganu Airport. (Admit it, we all need a little bit of luxury and pampering after being cooped up at home for months!)
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/57d4c8df/pricebreaker-redang-taaras-paddleboarding.jpg" alt="taaras-beach-and-spa-paddle-boarding" />
The Taaras Beach &amp; Spa Resort.
As of 4 May 2020, The Taaras Beach &amp; Spa Resort has resumed operations following <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/malaysia-covid-19-kuala-lumpur-conditional-mco-first-day-12700132" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Conditional Movement Control Order</a>, and continues to adhere to strict hygiene and sanitation processes set by the Malaysian National Security Council - so you can go on your Redang getaway with added confidence and assurance.

&nbsp;
<h4 id="chiangmai" class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">2) Escape the crowds and discover the real Chiang Mai</h4>
Located in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai with its lush green surroundings and misty mountains provides a cooler, calmer alternative to the heat and the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.
Post COVID-19, many Singaporeans would definitely be looking to return to Bangkok, one of our all-time favourite destinations. However, it might be safer to travel to places like Chiang Mai which are less populously dense (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Thailand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">88.5 people per km2 versus 3,620 people per km2 in Bangkok</a>), with more nature-based activities.
Within the city itself, Chiang Mai has plenty of natural attractions for you to explore, such as the Royal Park Rajapruek &ndash; a massive, picturesque park with beautiful landscaping, and an international garden zone with plants from 24 participating nations.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/ee070e1a/pricebreaker-chiang-mai.jpg" alt="Royal Park Rajapruek" />

From Chiang Mai, you can also visit the magnificent Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) in Chiang Rai, and take a leisurely boat ride down the Mekong River at the Golden Triangle which will give you a glance of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos all at once.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/6fee9ed7/pricebreaker-chiangmai-watrongkhun.jpg" alt="chiangrai-white-temple" />

Of course, a trip to Chiang Mai would only be complete with a hearty bowl of Khao Soi &ndash; Chiang Mai&rsquo;s signature dish with velvety, spiced curry broth, braised chicken, soft egg noodles and crispy noodle bits.
Foodies that have been craving authentic Thai food since the start of the circuit breaker (or even way before that) would also be happy to find many of the usual favourites from Pad Thai to Tom Yum Goong in the restaurants and on the streets of Chiang Mai.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/c16caefd/pricebreaker-chiangmai-khao-soi.jpg" alt="khao-soi" />
Discover the real side of Chiang Mai with our <a href="https://www.pricebreaker.travel/destinations/thailand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">private tours from just S$298</a>. Safe and affordable, private tours allow you to minimise contact with other travellers, while accounting for the costs of your transport, accommodation, meals and entrance fees.
&nbsp;
<h4 id="danang" class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">3) Explore ancient cities and countless hidden gems in Da Nang, Vietnam</h4>
From Da Nang in Central Vietnam to Halong Bay and Sapa all the way up in the North, Vietnam has plenty of fascinating historical gems and incredible natural landscapes waiting to be discovered. &nbsp;
One of the earliest countries to take <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/covid-19-vietnam-relax-restrictions-case-drop-12670028" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swift and proactive measures</a> against COVID-19, Vietnam is in a strong position to <a href="https://vietnam.travel/things-to-do/information-travellers-novel-coronavirus-vietnam" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protect its population as well as visitors</a> &ndash; another reason why this country is set to be a prime travel destination post-COVID.
Beyond Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, Da Nang in Central Vietnam has quickly risen in recent years to become one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam for Singaporean travellers. &nbsp;
Within Da Nang, you can stroll along the Han River, catch spectacular light and fire shows at the Dragon Bridge, or simply bask under the sun on long stretches of white sand at My Khe Beach.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/3d7c60e9/pricebreaker-danang-dragon-bridge.jpg" alt="danang-dragon-bridge" />
Located at the city centre, the Dragon Bridge offers dazzling light show displays on Saturdays and Sundays at 9pm.
Most travellers also use Da Nang as a base, travelling to the historic cities of Hue and Hoi An, and the nearby Ba Na Hills Resort where the famous Golden Bridge is located.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/f736d07c/pricebreaker-hue-khai-dinh-tomb.jpg" alt="khai dinh tomb" />

&nbsp;
<h4 id="phuquoc" class="font-heading" style="color: rgba(0,0,0,.35); margin-bottom: 20px;">4) Enter Vietnam's secret island paradise: Phu Quoc</h4>
With turquoise waters, dense rainforests and white sandy beaches, Phu Quoc (pronounced as &ldquo;Foo Kwok&rdquo;) is also another hidden gem in Vietnam that should also be added to your travel bucket list.
Located approximately 40km from the south coast of Vietnam, Phu Quoc has 28 islands that you can explore, and is home to the Phu Quoc National Park &ndash; a UNESCO site with activities such as hiking, river rafting and more.
You can ride the world&rsquo;s longest oversea cable car for panoramic views of the sea, coral reefs and islands beneath, or go on an unforgettable fishing and snorkelling experience in crystal clear waters at Hon Dua (Coconut Island) and Hon Roi (Lamp Island).
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/cf569a7d/pricebreaker-phu-quoc.jpg" alt="phu quoc" />

Phu Quoc also has plenty of stylish resorts for a perfect beach holiday, including Hotel Sol &ndash; a laid-back resort with direct access to Truong beach.
<img class="responsive" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" src="https://cdn.net.in/pacificarena/files/21a50607/pricebreaker-phu-quoc-hotel-sol.jpg" alt="phu quoc hotel sol" />
