Lot's of good advice in this thread. Let us know when you have another rough itinerary and we can help you iron out any new wrinkles.

Personally I prefer, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia (in that order).

Very rough itinerary:

Mon 18th - Fly from Singapore (SIN) to Sihanoukville (KOS)
Tue 19th - Koh Rong
Wed 20th - Bokor Mountain National Park
Thu 21st - Bus (?) to Siem Reap
Fri 22nd - Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Ta Prohm
Sat 23rd - Fly from Siem Reap (REP) to Da Nang (DAD)
Sun 24th - Huế / Hội An
Mon 25th - Fly from Da Nang (DAD) to Kuala Lumpur

But this is SE Asia, you just can't move around quite as fast as this - you'd enjoy it more if you concentrate on a single country (been there/done that!)

Agreed. Chop Vietnam out of that itinerary, add a day to Koh Rong, add a day or half day to Siem Reap.

Yes I've decided against trying to visit Vietnam on this trip, so I'll stay in Cambodia for the week.

I'm quite keen to visit Cambodia this time, but for sure I'll look into other places for another trip. Myanmar is a new suggestion, I hadn't considered it. South-east Asia has so much to offer.

18th Fly nonstop SIN-PNH and overnight there.
19th Bus Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville (4 hrs on good road, many departures)
21st Flight S'Ville-Siem Reap (Cambodia Air Angkor, check website for promo price)
25 Fly nonstop REP-KUL (Air Asia has good deal now)
Excellent suggestions, thank you. Sounds like a practical and sensible route which would give me plenty of time for sight-seeing.

The only reason I was planning Sihanoukville is because I want to go to Koh Rong. Happy to consider alternatives nearby.
