I visited Martin Mere Wetland reserve at Lancashire in 2011. I fondly remembered the large land and walking aroud while I was scanning through old pictures and decided to write about it. Pls plan your visit -->  https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/martin-mere/plan-your-visit/ I vividly remember the nice spaces created for photographers and it was awesome to setup tripod and tracking the birds. I also recollect the cute, active  Grey crowned Crane and it was very nice to see it running here and there and never stopping. More than hundreds of birds are there inside wet lands and season details are nicely detailed out in the portal. Enjoy and support nature.

There is a interesting and historical town called Ayutthaya near Bangkok ... you can go in cab as it is around 65KM from DMK Airport. I stayed in a fabulous hotel called Sala Ayutthaya .. which is located along the banks of River Chao Phraya and oppsite to the famous Wat Phutthaisawan. Because of the great location and boutique property, the stay is little expensive but worth it considering the great room, decor and fashionable bath facility. The stay could cost you around 260 SGD for 2 days based on demand and season. History Kingdom was very popular and had amazing trading connection with neighbouring countries.

There are two nice towns near Singapore and they are as called Batam and Bintan. Oh yes, you are right - they are in Indonesia. Let us chat about what to do there ! Trust me., they are ideal weekend getaways... Batam: Ferry and Immigration:  Simple to reach, just an hour of ferry ride. No heavy tides. Straight forward immigration process at both sides. Sometimes, you might have put up with 30 min in Queue at Indonesian sides during peak hours. But 3 day or 4 day week ends - be there much ahead. You generally dont get questions about your purpose of visit or where you stay ... Hotels:  Lot of good hotels in Batam - ideal place to stay is Nagoya as it is closer to Nagoya Hill Mall. There are so many options and price range and I like Harmoni Hotel and Swiss Inn Batam.  Some of the very good pubs are located walkable distance from Harmoni Hotel or Goodway Hotel - like The Last Pub or Chilli Bar. What to do:  Shopping at Nagoya Hill - try ManZone or Matahari.....
