1. Hamdeok Seoubong Beach

Hamdeok Beach is known for its white sandy beach and turquoise seas. It became one of the most popular beaches for tourists in Jeju, described as “Korea’s Maldives”. Along the beach, there’s an Instagram-worthy place – Cafe Delmoondo, selling a wide selection of pastries and beverages, a great spot for admiring the gorgeous ocean view. We also made our way to Seoubong Peak for a hike, located next to the end of Hamdeok Beach.

2. Seongsang Ilchulbong

Seongsang Ilchulbong is a UNESCO World Heritage and a designated natural reserve. The hike up to the summit takes about 30 minutes; an hour to complete the hike up and down. There’s an entrance fee of 5,000KRW per adult and 2,500KRW for youths and children to reach the summit. If the weather is clear, you can see the shape of Hallasan Mountain and Udo Island. Otherwise, you can opt for the coastal walking trail that is entirely free, offering low-intensity seaside views, which does not go up to the summit. 

Parking is free, but the lots tend to get crowded, so finding a space to park your car can be tricky. Operating hours may vary by season, so it’s worth checking ahead of your visit.

3. Bijarim Forest 

Thousands of centuries-old Japanese torreya trees call this forest home, some standing for 500 to 800 years – including the towering 810-year-old “New Millennium” tree. The loop trail is easy and accessible (stroller- and wheelchair-friendly), with a relaxed walk taking about 1 to 1.5 hours. Great for all ages and a perfect way to immerse yourself in nature. There’s an entrance fee of 3,000KRW and parking is free.

4. Aewol Cafe Street

Aewol Cafe Street in Handam Village is one of Jeju’s cafe-scene highlights. Thanks to the Handam-ro coastal walking path, many of the food spots are connected, so you can wander from one to the next with sea views the whole way. We went to Team Blow, an aesthetic cafe known for its sweeping ocean views, to quench our thirst, and it’s a great spot to unwind between sightseeing or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon with a beautiful view.

5. Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff

One of our favourite places was the Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff, a striking rock formation made up of hexagonal basalt columns formed by cooling lava from Mount Halla thousands of years ago. We spent about 30 minutes snapping pictures at the observatory platform and admiring the panoramic views. Since there are a handful of popular photo spots on the platform, crowds and queues are common. There’s an entrance fee of 2,000KRW for adults and 1,000KRW for children and youths; parking is not free.

6. Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls

We visited the Cheonjeyeon Falls, which are actually three separate waterfalls, but do not be confused with Cheonjiyeon Falls in Seogwipo. Their names are similar but differ in ‘je’ and ‘ji’. We spent about 1.5–2 hours leisurely walking around and enjoying the scenic views. Apart from the three waterfalls, there’s a 130-meter-long bridge (Seonim Bridge) and Cheonjeru Pavilion within the area. 

There’s an entrance fee of 2,500KRW for adults and 1,350KRW for youths and children. Operating hours vary based on the season you’re visiting. Do note that there are several stairs, and it might not be wheelchair- or stroller-friendly.

7. O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House

An unmissable stop is the Osulloc Tea Museum and Innisfree Jeju House, located within the same compound. The Osulloc Tea Museum draws crowds even on weekdays, thanks to its souvenirs and cafe serving up matcha– and peanut-flavoured desserts. There’s a photobooth on the same level as the cafe too, great for visitors who want a memory to take home. Right behind the Innisfree store, the tea fields make for a popular photo spot – and the store itself is stocked with skincare products perfect for bringing home as gifts (or treating yourself).

8. Snoopy Garden

A must-visit spot in Jeju for any Peanuts comics fan, this theme park features indoor exhibition halls with artistic installations tracing the history of the comics and characters, alongside a sprawling outdoor garden with plenty of photo opportunities. We spent about 4 hours exploring the indoor and outdoor areas; good grief, you’ll never want to leave! 

Admission tickets can be purchased on arrival, either via the kiosk machines or at the counter, priced at 19,000KRW for adults (ages 20 and above), 16,000KRW for youths (ages 14–19), and 13,000KRW for children. Parking is free; no need to worry about extra costs!

9. Mount Hallasan

Mount Hallasan has seven hiking trails, with Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa being the main routes to the summit, and Eorimok and Yeongsil offering beginner-friendly, shorter trails, with no reservations needed. We went for the Seongpanak Trail, a 19.2km round-trip route, taking 7-8 hours to complete. This route is physically demanding due to the increasing steepness and rocky routes. For this trail, it’d require an advanced, mandatory online reservation here – Hallasan Visit Reservation System. Be sure to read up on all the different trails before deciding on which to go for!

Whether it’s your first time in Bangkok or not, we have compiled a list of places recommended by locals and frequent travellers, with a focus on lesser-known, unique spots.

theCOMMONS

We know how ironic it is that a list about less “common” places in Bangkok starts off with a location known as theCOMMONS. But trust us — this is a place you can potentially spend an entire day at. With a focus on “building a wholesome community”, theCOMMONS is a family-friendly destination with a large collection of lifestyle and food and beverage concepts. 

You will not just find a wide variety of all-day restaurants, but also wellness stops and community events. You can also shop for sustainable products and activewear. 

Imagine a day like this: you start off with breakfast at the egg-centric Crackhouse, then drop by All Kinds to look at healthy, planet-conscious snacks you can bring back home.

After your food has mostly digested, you head to Absolute for a Pilates class — stretching and strengthening your body. And of course, after the session, you take a nice shower in the boutique fitness studio’s facilities. 

After you’re done, you feel the familiar hunger pangs after a workout session. So, you decide to have lunch at Easy Buddy for Thai food with a twist. Soon, your belly is full, and you just want to have some time to give in to your food coma.

Your next destination is Clay Head Spa — where you treat yourself to a Nano Hair Therapy with a relaxing head massage. Before you know it, evening approaches and you look for your next hangout spot from the numerous bars in the same complex. 

If what we’ve described sounds like your perfect holiday, you know where to explore the next time you’re in Bangkok. For the full list of vendors and activities, including the WHOLESOME Run Club, visit theCOMMONS’ website.

Note that theCOMMONS can be found at three locations around Bangkok, so make sure to check which location you actually want to visit before you travel there.

Lumphini Park

Want to get closer to nature and the outdoors? Visit Bangkok’s first public park — Lumphini Park. Located near the central business district of Bangkok, this park feels like an oasis where you can slow down, take in some fresh air, and appreciate the city skyline while taking a stroll.

At the same time, the park is home to numerous sights and activities. You can go for a morning run, exercise with some upbeat music in the background, or explore the library in the park. Just make sure to watch your steps as you might run into a monitor lizard or two!

One popular activity at Lumphini Park, however, would have to be renting a Swan Paddle Boat or rowing boat and having a short trip out on the lake. Definitely try this if you want a different park experience.

The post Discover 5 underrated destinations in China for your next trip appeared first on Confirm Good.

Not only does Spidey appear as decals on screens and banners at the check-in area, but he also appears in person, hanging out on a couple of plane seats near Row 7. These new installations are just one part of a collaboration between Scoot and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which includes themed aircraft, experiences, and merchandise. Some of us got an early look at this brand-new collaboration in person and checked out one of the planes with a themed cabin interior. Keep reading to find out what we saw!

From now till 13 September 2026, two Scoot aircraft will be decked out in Spider-Man decor and artwork, immersing passengers in a Brand New Adventure as they travel to their destinations.

The first thing you will notice when you step into the aircraft is Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s main soundtrack playing through the speakers. It almost feels like you are stepping into a cinema or amusement ride rather than a plane. 

All around the cabin interior, you will also see Spidey, in the form of posters, quotes, and headrest covers. Keep an ear out, too, for a special message by Peter Parker himself, who will welcome passengers onto the flight through the speakers.

On these themed flights, passengers who purchase certain food combos will also receive a mystery movie flight tag. The Hero’s Fuel Combo (S$15) includes a hot meal, a Biscoff biscuit, and a cold drink, while the Hero’s Snack Combo (S$8) contains a Pringles and a Coca-Cola. 

To purchase any of these combos and redeem the collectables, simply approach the friendly Scoot crew, who will be as willing to help you as the friendly neighbourhood hero himself. They will not be hard to spot, as they will be wearing jackets inspired by Spider-Man.

For those of you who want to collect something extra, you can also spend S$50 on duty-free shopping and receive an exclusive movie tote bag.

Speaking with us after the Launch Ceremony for this collaboration, Calvin Chan, Chief Commercial Officer at Scoot, shared that what the airline hopes to achieve is to create “an immersive journey, from booking to check-in to the flight itself.”

The goal is not just to have a Spider-Man theme within the aircraft, but to provide passengers with Spidey-inspired experiences along the way — from the start to the end of their Brand New Adventure. If you are a fan of Spider-Man, you would definitely enjoy discovering all the Easter eggs featuring the webhead.

The inaugural flights of the Spidey-themed aircraft take off on 30 June 2026 and 1 July 2026 to Tokyo and Chiang Mai. Afterwards, they will be rostered to fly on selected routes to other cities, including those within Australia, China, and the Philippines. So, avid travellers who book Scoot flights might find themselves on one of these rare flights by surprise.

If you’d like to see the full list of Spider-Man: Brand New Day flights from now to 13 September 2026 and make your booking, visit Scoot’s official website.

Suit up and unmask your next adventure.

The post First look at Scoot’s ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ themed flights & experiences appeared first on Confirm Good.

Ahem, for those of you doing last-minute packing right now, we hope this helps!

1. Power banks

Yes, this is incredibly basic. But you don’t want to be the guy that rushes out of the house, travels all the way to the airport, boards the plane, then realises you forgot to bring a portable charger for your 10-day trip. 

You’ve worked hard to earn your holiday; don’t waste your first spending at your destination on unnecessary items you could have prepared prior. Also, if you’re bringing power banks, remember that you can now only bring a maximum of two on flights departing from Singapore.

They must also be placed in your carry-on baggage, and cannot be checked in at the airport. You are also not allowed to use or charge your power banks during your flight. Lastly, if you’re flying to China, only power banks with the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark are allowed. 

2. eSIM

This is usually the item many travellers think about last, or only when it hits them that they can’t access the Internet at their holiday destination. However, having mobile data is so important in our ever-connected world. 

Many of the services we need to access through our phone during our travels also require mobile data. So don’t leave it to the last minute; purchase an eSIM before you fly and simply activate it when you land. That’s one thing less to worry about.

If you need recommendations for a good eSIM, we have found Airalo to be reliable and fuss-free. Download the Airalo app on the App Store or Google Play, and you’ll be able to browse eSIM packages that cover more than 200 countries worldwide. 

The data roaming plans range from 1GB to unlimited data and are available in 3-day packages all the way up to 30-day packages. The package prices are also reasonable, especially considering how simple Airalo is to use. 

In fact, we currently have a couple of promo codes that will get you 16% off (Code: CGNEW) if you’re a new user, and 12% off (Code: CGALL) if you’re not. Simply click the respective links, purchase your eSIM, and make sure the codes are applied at checkout.

​If you’re ever in doubt about how Airalo works, don’t worry. Upon your purchase, you will also receive clear and straightforward instructions for quick installation. Just make sure your device supports eSIM installation and that your Data Roaming option is turned on in the eSIM settings after activating it at your destination. You’ll be good to go in no time!

3. Travel adapters 

Before heading to the country of your choice, make sure to do some research on its standard wall sockets. Then, before your trip, purchase the travel adapters you will need to plug in your chargers to those power sources.

Just like power banks, bringing along the right adapters will ensure your devices are charged up for the day. In fact, you need these to charge your power banks too! So, don’t forget to pack one for your trip, or a few if you want to be a great travel companion.

Speaking from personal experience — you never know who else on your trip might need it. 

4. Vacuum compression bags

This is a real travel hack — especially for those of you constantly struggling with luggage space. We are all too familiar with that feeling of starting a vacation with relatively light luggage, but ending with one that is bursting at the seams. 

Most of the time, this is the result of all your used clothes packed into plastic bags, plus all the goodies and souvenirs you got during the trip. Vacuum compression bags (paired with good packing skills) are a lifesaver that helps to alleviate this issue.

These bags usually come with a pump that sucks out all excess air, ensuring that your packed clothes take up as little volume as possible. They come in different sizes and can also be purchased at quite an affordable cost, depending on where you buy them from.

5. The right clothing

This one’s a given, and most of you are probably over-prepared in this department. But it never hurts to have a friendly reminder, right? If you’re heading somewhere cold, pack something warm. And if you’re heading somewhere warm, pack something cooling.

Singaporean guys, this is your time to shine with your UNIQLO wardrobe too. Show them the power of AIRism and HEATTECH. Just make sure you grab the right piece for the right climate. And bringing along a windbreaker or waterproof jacket will never be a bad choice. 

6. Camera (with sufficient storage)

What’s a holiday if you can’t keep the memories? If you didn’t take a photo, did it really happen? For those of you who own a camera, now is the time to sharpen those photography skills and take vibey pictures of your trip and of your friends.

But even if you don’t have a dedicated camera, we all have cameras in our pockets these days. Yes, I am talking about your iPhones and your Samsung Galaxies. Smartphone cameras have come a long way since their initial inception. 

With the right lighting and editing, photos taken on your phone can even compare to shots taken on digital cameras. The most important thing, no matter which you use, is to make sure you clear up space for all the new photos you’re going to take.

You don’t want to have to stand in the middle of a public space, clearing your iPhone storage, just so you can continue taking photos of the scenery in front of you (speaking from personal experience again).

7. Headphones

This seems like common sense, but we’ve all left home without our headphones or earbuds before. Going on a train ride without music is already a pain sometimes, but imagine a long flight where you can’t tune out of your surroundings just because you forgot to bring along your audio devices.

If you’re someone who plans to listen to music or watch your downloaded Netflix shows on the plane, remember to pack your in-ears or headsets!

8. Small bag (to keep valuables close)

No matter where you’re travelling to, and for how long, one thing you will always need is a small bag. This could come in the form of a crossbody bag, a sling bag, or even a tiny backpack. 

Having one allows you to navigate the airport and explore your destination comfortably without extra weight, while still carrying your passport, boarding passes, cash, and other valuables safely.

If you can, definitely invest in an anti-theft bag, which will usually feature cut-resistant fabric and lockable zippers.

What is the Lyrid Meteor Shower?

The Lyrid meteor shower is an annual celestial event that takes place as Earth passes through a trail of debris left by the Comet Thatcher. It’s known to have radiant meteors and to leave occasional bright flashes called a fireball. 

How to get the best views of the Meteor Shower

For optimal viewing in Singapore, the showers are said to peak on 22 April 2026 and 23 April 2026 after 11pm. For the best chance of spotting them, stay away from city lights and other forms of light pollution, and find a dark area with a clear view of the sky. Just in case you aren’t sure, we’ve compiled a few places to watch the meteor shower.

Changi Beach Park

Located near the edge of Singapore, Changi Beach is largely unaffected by the city lights and is a prime area for stargazing. The spacious beach and empty fields make a comfortable spot to settle for the night. Along with the cool seaside breeze, it’s one of our top spots for the best viewing experience.

East Coast Park 

East Coast Park is another area commonly frequented by casual stargazers. Its more accessible location makes it a popular choice; however, there is slightly more light pollution with the LED lamps placed along every road. If you do choose to stargaze there, we recommend finding a darker and more secluded area, such as the beach, for a better chance of spotting the meteor shower.

Labrador Nature Reserve

Labrador Nature Reserve offers lovely panoramic views of the sea and gets very dark at night, making it a suitable place to stargaze. However, it doesn’t have expansive fields and beaches like Changi Beach or East Coast Park. Rather, you may have to settle on a bench along its trail or boardwalk, or on the concrete floor of the Berlayer Shade. Whatever it is, the beautiful, tranquil views and clear view of the night sky will definitely make it worth the trouble.

Punggol 

Punggol has been a prime area for stargazing due to its low light pollution, and it even has its own astronomy club! Recommended viewing spots there include the Lorong Haulus Wetland, Sunrise Bridge in Punggol Waterway Park, and the Punggol Point Observation Deck in Punggol Point Park.

Various locations

Upper Seletar Reservoir

One of the more scenic spots to go stargazing, Upper Seletar Reservoir offers a breathtaking view from a field near its lookout tower. The serene spot is located near the water’s edge, so you can gaze out into an expansive open space and sky. It’s the perfect place for some quiet contemplation while you try to catch the meteor showers.

Yishun Dam 

The Yishun Dam is a secluded, hidden gem in the north that sports beautiful waterfront views and an uninterrupted vista of the skies. Situated near Rower’s Bay Park, it may not be the most accessible by public transport, but that just means you probably won’t have to share the space with throngs of fellow stargazers.

So if you want to gaze into the heavens and wonder at the endless cosmic space, these places should do the trick. Whether you’re planning a scientific pursuit or a romantic getaway, watching the stray comets streaking through our skies will definitely be a core memory you won’t forget!
