First things you'll (probably) notice about the embassies in Singapore

The Chinese Embassy

Trees are grown all over the perimeter of the compound, such that you see nothing at all beyond the trees.

Even the gate facing the main road, is only as wide as a man's shoulder. The gate is brown (seemingly in a planked-up design). A guard stands in that open gate, filling in the gap, so that you still see nothing at all beyond him.

The British High Commission

It has barricades behind its main gates.

You can see through the metal gate, but the view is limited by the high walls surround the compound.

The Embassy of the United States of America

Well, the first thing you'll notice is the flag of America flying in a prominent position.

The nation's symbol (the Bald Eagle) is just behind the flag (if i remember correctly).

The Royal Thai Embassy

The fence surrouding the Royal Thai Embassy is black and low (a little bit taller than a man). Looking inside, you can see all the way inside, up to the main building of the embassy.

It is in clear view to all the passer-bys.
