My flight to Hongkong via Jetstar had a 6 hours lay over in Singapore. But the thing was, arrival in Singapore was past midnight. My original plan was to meet a friend of mine and have a night out in Clarke Quay then go back to catch my 6 am flight to Hongkong. But my friend canceled due to some unforeseen circumstance so i was left alone thinking how to spend 6 hours at the dead of the night in Changi Airport.
Well, a friend was enroute to Philippines the same time i was traveling to Singapore and we both found ourselves being at the same terminal. So when i landed to Singapore we hung out for a bit near her boarding gate. After that brief time, i still have 4 hours to kill and changi airport was almost deserted. all the shops were now closed and that's when i decided to go spend my remaining hours at Rainforest Lounge in Changi Airport in Terminal 1. Best decision ever.
Rainforest Lounge is located at Departure Area, opposite gate C1. It has a small elevator to reach this lounge. Receptionist was kind enough to explain what they offer and fortunately, they have a promotion. I availed the ~20 SGD for 4 hours of lounge use with complimentary shower. I was tempted to take the offer of a sleeping bed but i might miss my flight so i opted to just stay at the lounge to charge my phone, binge myself with endless snacks and doze off for a bit. Receptionist and one of the server were very nice and accommodating. I felt at home during those 4 hours.
Complimentary shower include free use of towel. The toilet, changing room and shower area were all clean and nice. I got the whole place by myself. haha!
here are some photos of the lounge...

got myself 3 full plates of yummy pasta, mashed potato and veggies. Their juice was cold and refreshing.
immaculately clean shower and toilet area
After experiencing a relaxing 4 hours transit in Singapore, i don't mind having Singapore as a lay over for my future travels. Thank you again to Rainforest for taking good care of me :) cheers! :)
