My 4 country solo trip coming up tomorrow. Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand. Please suggest me offbeat places and hidden gems.

1. Kuala Lumpur 3 days
2. Singapore 2 days.
3. Angeles City + Manila 5 days
4. Singapore again 1 day
5. Krabi 1 day
6. Bangkok 7 days (is 7 days too much?)

Wanted to go to Chiang Mai, but hearing news of floods so not taking the risk. Some parts of Bangkok are also flooded, not sure if it's true.

i am planning to visit all the available lounges and restaurants at Changi which are available on priority pass, and also Transpa for a haircut.

7 days is not too much in Bangkok if you’re planning to use massagerepublic

You mean to say I should split Bangkok and stay 3 days in Bangkok and 4 in Pattaya? What are the places to visit in Pattaya?

No need to visit beaches near Bangkok if you are visiting phuket, visit phi phi Island , raya island and go to night street

or krabi .

Krabi can't be extended as flight is booked already. I'll be in Krabi for 1 day. I booked all the cheapest possible flights. Didn't pay attention to destinations. After booking flight, realized that Krabi airport is far from city. No idea what I'll be able to see in a day there.

Pattaya can be skipped completely if not interested in 💥. Most of it is same as BKK.
Rather go to Phuket.

HKT will become journey in opposite direction. I'll be entering TH through KBV, and HKT is near to KBV. All flights are non-refundable, if I need to go to HKT from BKK and back, it'll be too much journey in limited time.

Request you all to suggest places within and around the cities mentioned in post #1.

Take train? It will be worth visiting phuket

Krabi 1 day is less. You need minimum 1 full day for Island tours. Bangkok 4 days and Krabi 3 days is my suggestion. Bangkok temple tours and others is 2-3 days. If you want to shop a lot, then only go for 5-6 days Bangkok.


Also, I feel Singapore is minimum 6 days. KL 3 is enough.

Thinking of buying a drone from either KL or Bangkok. Which country is cheaper for electronics?

I have covered half of Singapore in my last trip.

You will be missing out on so much exploring like this. Do you intend only to visit the capital/popular cities? I would suggest you select Singapore+2 countries of your choice and explore.
If you are headed to Thailand, do not miss out on the islands. Just 1 day in Krabi is absurd and 7 days in Bangkok is overkill. I'm not sure of the rains, but if it is possible to go, do not miss out on Northern Thailand. Chaing Mai and Chaing Rai are just spectacular with so many interesting temples.
If you go to the Philippines and visit only Manila, you haven't seen the Philippines. I'd include beautiful places like Coron, Palawan, Boracay, Bohol, etc. Just do a quick google search and you'll know what I mean! Phillippines has one of the best waters in the world and is one of my favourite countries.

Mustafa in Singapore is cool. Eat some Durian too. There are amazing local food places in Simei. Simei is very peaceful and calm to walk through.

Feel free to ask any question you have. I spent a decade there
