We really don’t need broke farangs in our country.

Come in stay hostel, bag pack around and look like haven’t showered for weeks.

Look at Thailand and Vietnam, so many farangs go there spent all their money end up begging on the streets LOL.

Actually that's true
I ever seen one sit whole day in the gym cos .... guess no money etc

 

[FireEmblem]

Wah, really is next level cheapskate. F1 weekend hotel so expensive meh? Even airport also can sleep.
But then again, save money for the concert tickets is it? Haha.

Supposedly one dorm bed per night $180 woh. Maybe hotel 81 $350 a night

So many people in one tiny island. You got to look at housing issue before organising such event.

 

[Orphan]

Nothing cheapskate about it. People sleep in airports all the time.

These 2 tourists probably don't know better and slept on the floor. Since they are boarding the plane in a few hours, they can go into the transit area and sleep at the various free "Sleep lounges".

If all occupied, there are many sofas everywhere that one can sleep in as well, maybe cannot lie down flat, but if people can sleep while sitting on buses, sleeping in soft sofas isn't an issue.

Changi Airport don't make people sleep on the floor one hokay?

They didn't do enough research

 

[weiess]

hotels price all up during F1 ..
they not here to watch F1.. bo budget so lan lan

 

[Gunnerspirit]

To ang mo
Sleeping in airport ish an sexperience lah
Hotel too mainstream

 

[vangug]

Is it not enough budget hotels?

I ever slept at San Francisco airport as I arrived past midnight and had an early morning flight to take. Save the hassle of getting a courtesy ride to checkin to hotel and returning after a few hours.

 

[PeanutButterJellyfish]
