This is always a personal choice issue. As the other posts say, going to SIN is like visiting a squaky clean, modern metropolis. BKK is just more exotic and more faceted (just one man's opinion)
what????

We just came back from HKK - BKK - SIN.

I liked BKK best, IMO SIN is a european city and too expensive.

Bangkok anytime again...

I like BKK too, but I think you didn't go to the right places in SIN...
