I've been to Thailand myself a few times and know several people who have each made several trips there themselves. No one has ever had a complaint about their trip. Someone mentioned diving, if you're not licensed, it's really cheap to get your license there. Everything is dirt cheap. Cabs, girls, hotels, food, girls, souveniers, girls, drinks.
Been to Singapore a few times too, the navy does have some benifits. It's not quite as cheap, though very safe and a lot of fun. Just watch out for the ridiculous laws. It's illegal to bring chewing gum into the country, let alone chew it. I'm sure somewhere there are places where you can find out exactly what all the rules are. It's not really anything to worry about, you just gotta be a little careful. The laws they have go a long way in keeping the island country as beautiful as it is.
As far as Tokyo goes, I live there. If you're looking for drinking, go to Roppongi or Shibuya. If you want to go shopping, Shibuya, or Akihabara if your looking for electronics. Tokyo's a fantastic city with a train system that will take you anywhere easily. If you get lost the station workers, or even sometimes other natives, will do thier best to help you out. Great place.
Hope I've helped you out a little bit. Let us all know how things went when you get back.
