1st time solo traveler in need of feedback on Thailand + Singapore itinerary

Hi,

I need advice & suggestions for planning my trip to Thailand, my first solo trip ever. From February 26 - March 3 of 2024, I need to be in Phucket for a wedding. Since I'll already be in SE Asia, I figured it would be worth while to explore more of Thailand and Singapore (I hear it's a quick place to check out). I'd like to see a genuine Muy Thai fight, try authentic Thai food, check out Thai/Bangkok nightlife, and see anything else in Thailand worth checking out. I will be solo, so ideally I'd do activities that you can be fun doing alone.

My tentative trip itinerary:

Feb 22 - Feb 23 - Depart - JFK (NY) - BKK (Bangkok) - (fly from Feb 22-23, arrive night of Feb 23)

Feb 24 - Feb 26 - Bangkok - (2 full days)

Feb 26 - March 1 - Phucket - (wedding stuff)

March 1 - 3 - Ko Phi Phi Island - (1 full day)

March 3 - 5 - Bangkok - (1 full days)March 5 - 8 - Singaphore - (2 full days)

March 8 - 9 - fly back to NYC

My questions are as follows:

  1. The way I have everything planned, I have about 1-2 days in each place/location? Is that too rushed? Too many travel days? I've never done solo travel, so I don't know how to go about planning what to see.
  2. I read that Ko Phi Phi is a cool island to check out. If so, what's there to do/ see? Should I replace it with something in Thailand considering what my interests are?
  3. Any recommendations of what to see/where to go?
  4. I'm thinking to also check out Singapore since I'm already in SE Asia, and was curious if 2 full days was a good amount of time to check it out as well? (would also appreciate any suggestions for what to check out).

Thanks in advance!
