My wife and I backbacked through Malaysia and Thailand for several months. We didn't enjoy Singapore. It's just a modern city. Same goes for Kuala Lumpor, nothing to see, move along, move along. We didn't enjoy our time in the cities of Malaysia and Thailand, but the smaller places were great. The east coast of Malaysia is different from the west, you may enjoy yourself more on the west coast. Most of rural Thailand is great. Once place to check out it Surat Thani Treetops, in a national park. We loved it. You should be able to find out more about it on the internet.
Thailand doesn't use a roman alphabet, so that may be a problem. The language problems in Thailand were worse (in terms of english speakers) than anywhere else we went, maybe exagerated by the alphabet, but even then there always seems to be someone around to help out.
One thing to note: the Thais take their Buddha's VERY seriously. DOn't fool around with it's/his image, and be respectfull around and statues. They are a laid back people, but man that gets them riled.
