Maybe Not Going to Thailand this April

I was talking about planning a trip to Thailand this coming April, the air tickets costs around $1700 for 4 person to and fro, damn expensive, that's $400+ per head, and it's only for air tickets, doesn't seem like a good way to spend my money. Note that it includes air tickets to and from Udon Thani, it's all to play safe, fly from Singapore to Don Mueang to Udon, no need to leave the airport, mainly it's for safety reason because I really don't know when the protests will end, who knows it could drag on and get more violent. If it was more peaceful, we could have considered taking a bus to Udon instead, but with the current situation seeming spiraling out of control, no.

Now I'm thinking where we should go for holiday, maybe Genting Highlands is a good idea? I ran a quick check, transport plus accommodation for 4 person is around $500, compare to $1700 just for air tickets, and we would have plenty of cash for spending, why not.

Got to save some money, me and wife thinking of trying for baby this coming June so I don't really want to spend too much for this holiday.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation ...
