The centre and main attraction of the menu at Shared Table is the Nourish Plate (from S$21.90). This set meal aims to serve diners with dishes that are balanced and wholesome, yet full of variety and satisfaction.

No matter what you choose, you can expect nourishing food that feeds your body and soul, made possible by quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation.

Feeling high-spirited? A variety of cocktails are also available, including in-house creations such as The Golden Mango (S$21) – a vibrant, spiced tequila with turmeric, mango, and chilli. 

Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, Shared Table allows you to take in natural sunlight and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park’s greenery during the day. At night, the space turns into a cosy retreat filled with good food and even better conversations. A literal shared communal table in the centre of the cafe also encourages people to gather round and connect.

Pet owners are also welcome with a pet-friendly alfresco area. If Shared Table sounds like your vibe, make it your next destination with friends and your furry companions!

Kai Kai & Jia Jia’s Birthday Celebration

Jia Jia recently turned 18 on 3 September 2026, and Kai Kai will turn 19 on 14 September 2026. Visitors to River Wonders on 5 and 13 September 2026 can witness their birthday celebration in person at the Pavilion Capital Giant Panda Forest.

Keep an eye out for the black-and-white furballs on those 2 days at 12pm as they will dig into specially prepared gift boxes packed with their favourite treats. Cuteness overload!

Panda Planet Immersive Experience

Kai Kai and Jia Jia’s birthday celebrations are not the only panda-themed activities at River Wonders this month. From 4 to 14 September 2026, there will also be a new exhibition that visitors can explore. 

The Panda Planet Immersive Experience, presented by iPanda, is making its first stop outside China under the China-Singapore Panda relations initiative with Mandai Wildlife Group. With this exhibition, visitors will be able to get a closer look into the world of giant pandas through 3 themed zones.

One zone will let you learn about the evolution and behaviours of giant pandas, while another will put you into an MR Experience. The latter allows you to explore the natural ecosystem of the creatures through an interactive virtual experience.

Across the 3 zones, you can also test your panda knowledge with trivia challenges and snap photos at panda-themed photo spots for a chance to redeem exclusive merchandise. With this event happening exactly during the September holidays, it’s another idea for a day out with your family and kids.

Standard admission tickets to River Wonders are required to access this limited-time experience. Purchase yours here.

With the help of MOIC’s Scoop Professors, ‘students’ will experiment with classic flavours like chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.

Visit Snow City before it closes

Not travelling this September holidays but wish you were? You can still transport yourself to a cold place and experience real snow one last time in Singapore. As most of us would already know, Snow City Singapore is closing after 26 years of operations since it first opened in 2000.

The indoor snow centre’s final day will be 30 September 2026, so there are still opportunities to head there with family and friends to experience #OneLastSnowfall. At the time of writing, there is also an ongoing Farewell Promo for entry tickets, featuring discounts of up to 30%.

Tickets are now priced at S$19 for adults and S$16 for children; both include 1 hour of playtime and a Bumper Car ride. Seize these final chances to visit Snow City Singapore and get your tickets here.

Beach

1. Freedom Beach

If you’re looking for a secluded slice of paradise away from the tourism masses, why not visit Freedom Beach – turquoise water and fine, soft sand! There are a handful of small stalls serving drinks and light bites.

You can reach there via a short hiking trail through the hills, or if you’d rather skip the climb, keep an eye out for local trucks – they sometimes offer rides up and down the steep hill for around 100–200THB. One tip is to skip the flip-flops for the walk down; closed-toe shoes will serve you much better on the trail.

2. Bang Tao Beach

Stretching along Phuket’s west coast, Bang Tao Beach unfolds as one of the island’s longest and most scenic shorelines. If you’re looking for a place to stay nearby, Cassia Phuket sits just behind it, tucked within the sprawling Laguna Phuket complex. The hotel itself isn’t directly on the sand, but a free shuttle boat glides guests from the hotel’s pier straight to the beach, so the ocean always feels within easy reach.

3. Tann Beach Club

Tann Beach Club is best known for its nightly fire shows, held twice daily at 7pm and 9pm. While reserved seating gets the best view, guests can also watch and take photos from outside the seating areas if they prefer not to pay for a table. Minimum spend varies depending on how close you are to the beach. 

Overall, it’s considered a pricier but scenic option on Karon Beach – worth it for sunset and the fire show. For more information and reservations, click here.

4. Cooking Class 

The Private Thai Cooking Class by The Front Village in Karon, Phuket is a hands-on culinary session to learn how to cook authentic Thai food in a traditional Thai setting, with skilled and friendly chefs who imparted the secrets of Thai cooking to us in a fun atmosphere. After cooking, meals are enjoyed in an air-conditioned dining area, often finished off with a complimentary fresh fruit platter prepared by the staff. Each participant also receives a recipe booklet and a certificate of completion to take home! 

We booked our lesson through Klook for S$69.29 per pax, with Afternoon Classes ranging from Set A to D to choose from. There are two afternoon sessions available, from 1pm to 2.30pm and 3pm to 4.30pm. Keen to experience this cooking class? Book here!

The class is conducted by an English instructor, and is open to both genders.

All you have to do is turn up in your yoga clothes and a yoga mat, and equipment (blocks, etc) are provided for each session. You may choose to book and pay for the classes here to secure a spot. Do note that prior bookings are not required.

6. Snorkelling

Khai Nai Island is home to a beachside restaurant and plenty of deck chairs lining the main beach available for rentals, making it easy to relax between swims. We tried off-the-beach snorkelling right near the shore and were rewarded with sightings of colourful reef fish darting through the shallows. With calm waters, gentle waves, and clear visibility, it’s a relaxed, welcoming spot for snorkellers of all levels – just head in and explore.

8. Have a Bagel Day

Bagel lovers, we found a cosy, minimalist cafe in Cherngtalay, known for freshly baked, homemade bagels – dare we say the best in town. Beyond the plain bagels, you can also order Ready Bagel sandwiches like Bagel & Lox (265THB) and BLT (225THB) – great grab-and-go options to enjoy by the beach. Within the area, you can also check out Boat Avenue Phuket and Porto de Phuket.

Have a Bagel Day is a great spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch if you’re craving something other than Thai food during your trip.

The post Ungatekeeping Our Favourite Spots in Phuket appeared first on Confirm Good.

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!  

Save this post now so you don’t lose it before your next trip!

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.

JIAN CHA Tea

This one might sound familiar to those of you who are tea enthusiasts. JIAN CHA Tea has two outlets in Singapore currently, but did you know it is actually a Thai tea brand? JIAN CHA Tea, known for its premium fresh fruit teas and tea smoothies, first started in Thailand in late 2023.

Since then, it has grown to more than 60 branches across Thailand and has also expanded to outlets in Australia, Singapore, and Spain. It is definitely possible to find a JIAN CHA Tea outlet as you’re exploring Bangkok, so make sure to give it a try if you see one!

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.
