Introduction
- Marina Bay Sands is one of the major landmarks in Singapore. Staying there has always been my dream. There is only one obstacle in the way: Money. During high seasons, it could cost up to 45,000 Baht per night. This sounds outrageous to me.
- Since I can't afford it, I've decide to capture its beauty instead. The architecture, the design, the environment around it.
