We spent three days in Singapore - one entirely dedicated to Gardens by the Bay; and it was so beautiful. So, if you've got a spare 7 - 10 hours, you may consider this to be one of the best (and debatably lowest cost) thing to do.

As I make my way towards the east side of the larger pond, off the path, there's a waterway leading towards a flock of small cranes. They are picking at the water. Their feathers rustle to clean their plumage. In an otherwise sleepy environment, they seem to be the only other ones awake this morning. I liked the way the sun reflected off the water they bathed in. It's like they were washing themselves with the light.
Elephant tourism is one of the most exploited trades in Thailand. These beautiful animals are often beaten into submission so that tourists can come ride them and see them do tricks. Instead, tourists are encouraged to come to sanctuaries like the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary to feed the elephants, bathe with them in the river, and interact with them more naturally.
