Travel tips
- Carry cash for street food stalls and smaller museum gift shops, though cards are widely accepted at mid-range shopping malls.
- Download local ride-hailing apps like Grab to easily navigate between your planned museum stops during heavy downpours.
- Keep a reliable umbrella handy at all times since afternoon rain showers are practically guaranteed on a 7-day forecast.
- Stay hydrated while exploring indoor science centers and outdoor cultural sites due to the consistent 25-34°C humidity.
