Thanks - yes will very likely check and buy during one of my BKK trips, nevertheless shopping around and checking such things in SIN would be nice too. :) Unfortunately haven't seen such places in SIN. You can go for the expensive antique at Tanglin but would prefer some more down to earth shops to ...

Hi All Thanks for sharing your stories and views. It finally worked out for me. I walked to Paragon Citibank and got my account and the Credit Card within a couple of hours. The staff in the office was very professional and helpful. The guys at the CC counter acted not very friendly, but with the he...
