kyok Studios / new photo booth @chinatown

I recently explored Kyok Studios located at 32A Pagoda Street in Chinatown, and it’s a fantastic spot for some creative photo fun. What stands out is the variety of themed rooms they offer—there's a wet market concept room complete with realistic props (though the fish aren’t real) and a Mahjong-themed room that really immerses you in the vibe. I particularly enjoyed the mini strips feature, which captures cool, nostalgic-style photos that I rated 8/10 in terms of fun and quality. Getting there is super convenient; it’s about a six-minute walk from Chinatown MRT. If you’re coming from different parts of Singapore, there are easy MRT route options: from the red line, switch at Dhoby Ghaut to the purple line heading to Chinatown, or from the green line, change at Bugis to the blue line to Chinatown MRT. No need to book in advance either, making it perfect for spontaneous visits. Beyond the photo booths, there's also a large thrift shop downstairs with all items priced under $50, offering a fun shopping experience. Upstairs, you can grab some matcha or ice cream to enjoy during your visit. Overall, Kyok Studios offers a unique blend of interactive themed photo experiences and convenience in the heart of Chinatown. If you love quirky photo spots and want to create memorable snaps with friends or solo, this place is definitely worth a visit.
