I guess thereafter I should go to Siem Reap in one of the airlines you mentioned. After spending about 5 days in Siem Reap, I am planning to return to Mumbai via Singapore and on the way stop for 4 days in Singapore to see the city. Any suggestions on pro and cons of this probable itinerary are deeply appreciated from you and other FT members. Thank you again for your thoughtful suggestion.
With SQ you will be flying from BOM to BKK via SIN, not a direct flight
Siem Reap is a very nice city, 5 days will allow you easily to visit Angkor complex, Tonle Sap and have nice food and massages in between. Just remember that from next week they are moving to the new airport in Siem Reap, much farther away than the old one, about 50km.
