Looking for any advice/suggestions for travel in Southeast Asia. My boyfriend and I are planning to go for 15 days. Our idea as it stands is to spend 2-3 days in Singapore, 2-3 days in Chiang Mai, 3-4 days in Phuket and 5-6 days in Bali. We originally were just going to be in Bali the whole time, but we figured if we were gonna travel that far we might as well see a few places. Is this enough time in each city? Any city more worth seeing in the area? Any must dos in these cities? Thanks! 😌

Help! Last minute trip to Hawaii, want to use points. Have about 250k points thru both Chase and Amex (each). Also have Amex Plat.

- Amex also has $200 FHR/Hotel Collection annual credit for one of the hotels I'm considering
- Could also transfer points to Hyatt, but not as good hotel options where I'm headed
