About Singapore
Singapore is the compact city stop: clean, easy to navigate with elders, and no big wet or dry season - February is the driest month. Indian passports need a visa in advance, plus the SG Arrival Card (ica.gov.sg, checked 24 Oct 2026). The flight from Delhi is about 6 hours 10 minutes nonstop on three airlines (checked 24 Oct 2026). Vegetarian and Jain eating is covered dish by dish in our Singapore food guide, from hawker-centre staples to pure vegetarian restaurants. November to January sees the most rain, though it stays warm all year. Most families find four to five days enough for the main sights.
About Thailand
Thailand is the familiar favourite: Bangkok, beaches and hills, visa-free entry for Indian passports up to 30 days (scheme effective 15 Sep 2026; Royal Thai Embassy New Delhi, checked 24 Oct 2026), and a cool season from about November to February (months vary by region). The nonstop flight from Delhi to Bangkok takes about 4 hours 30 minutes on four airlines (checked 24 Oct 2026). Vegetarian and Jain eating is covered dish by dish in our Thailand food guide, including the phrases to order with. First trips usually split time between Bangkok and one beach or hill base, which keeps travel days short. The cool, dry months, about November to February, suit temple days and beach time alike.
