Hong Kong and Macau - Hong Kong or Thailand for me? (Im picky) =)

Posting this in both the HK and Thailand forum, so apologies in advance for the double post.

My wife and I are thinking of going to Singapore in December for 3 days and then another location, but not sure where.
Either Hong Kong or Thailand (I guess Bangkok).

Im into Touristy stuff, so on all my previous vacations, I went to places like:
China - Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square
London - Harrods, London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, London Bridge

Basically whenever I go on vacation, people always tell me - "Go to ABC and XYZ, thats where the locals go, you don't want to go to those tourist traps"
But I LIKE the tourist spots, I dont want to go where the locals go :)

And I'm not a big fan of the beach.

I rather be out checking out the "tourist traps"/sites than sitting on the sand.

Because my thought is this (could be the wrong way of looking at it):
"I will probably NOT be back anytime soon, so its a once in a lifetime chance to see these 'amazing' sights, afterall thats why millions of people visit this spot every year"
I know most people (including my wife) disagrees with it, but most people take 1 or at most 2 vacations a year...and once we start a family vacations are going to go from Paris to Disneyworld, so nows the chance to see all I can.

Knowing this do you recommend HK or Thailand (which part?)

Thanks!

Heck, I'd skip the Singapore part and go to both Hong Kong and Bangkok!

+1

That's exactly what I suggested in the OP's other thread.

I'd agree with that - if you can only do two of the three then it should be Bangkok and Hong Kong.

lol.

The main purpose of the trip is to go to Singapore to see my sister, who I have not seen in 2 years.

So Singapore is a must.
I was actually thinking 3 days in SGP is not enough, but wife thinks 3 days is too much.

Yes, 3 days is too much. :D

For that matters, OP can skip Bangkok for the time being after the flood...

Before you make any decision, do monitor the situation in Thailand right now.

They are saying the floods will not subside till 2 -4weeks?

But it probably take quite a while for Bangkok to return to normal I guess.....

Thanks for the info everyone.

We have made our decision!
Hong Kong!

Our plan is Singapore for about 5 days, and then HK for 3 days (since the main purpose is to visit my sister in SGP)

Thank you all
