    Personally i would fly from Bangkok to the islands in South Thailand. Spend a week there and then make my way through Malaysia overland to Singapore. The transport links are good in Malaysia and it's a great holiday location. You should look into Cameron Highlands and Taman Negara.

    If you like beach parties and sun holidays then maybe you should stay in Thailand longer and fly to Kuala Lumpur

    Air Asia will get you from Bangkok to Singapore for around 40 Euro. It's about a 3 hour flight.

    Or you can get the train from BKK to Butterworth/Penang in Malaysia. From there you can switch and get it to Singapore. This would be around 36 hours in total.

    Another option is the bus and is a bit quicker than the train. Go from Bangkok to Haad Yai. Then from there down to the border on the west coast. Once over the border you can easily get a bus to Kuala Lumpur. And KL is an easy connection to SIN.

    Malaysia is a cool country and cheaper than Thailand. Places worth stopping off at if you had the 3 weeks to play around with are Langkawi, Georgetown, Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, Tioman. The Perenthians are amazing but right up in the north east.

    There seems to be plenty of options anyways. Im more tempted to travel overland to see more and both the train and bus option appeal more even though it may not be as comfy!Thanks for that its realy helpful

    Well you can get your own bed on the train and they are pretty comfy and cheap. It's a busy route and you'd wanna book ahead if planning on getting a 1st class one.
