Planning a one month trip to Asia (Singapore, Bali, Thailand with a Dubai layover)
Hello lovely people of Fodor, Me and my GF are planning our first trip to Asia for a month in 2023 Please help me to figure out the best things we can do 
The only thing i am not sure is which courtiers we should visit? Which are the best? I am thinking --- Thailand -- then Singapore, then Bali and back to Armenia... is that okay? or We can do -- Malaysia--Singapore-- take a Cruise to Thailand from Singapore (Phuket) then return to Malaysia and go to Bali and spend the Majority of time in there.
The dates we can choose are from January to April. We are travelling from Armenia so we will have a Dubai or Qatar layover for 3 days, then continue our journey.
The budget for 2 of us is 6000 US $ for everything, is that enough? Flights are 1000 $ per person.
We are not that great with going around and finding the path, we can get stressed and get lost )) For the record we both have been to Europe and we know how to get around, but Idk about Asia, do we have to ride a bike to get around?
We would like to see the main tourist attractions, see an Ocean (we haven't seen one yet) have a relatively relaxed vacation, please help me out with some common sense, and a pro tips.
Thank you !

you are talking about an area as big (or bigger?) than Europe, with multiple cultures, languages, alphabets. One month is not a lot, so I wouldn't try to do everything - especially if you also want to relax and not travel too much.
In any case, if you've never been, I would take a flight to Singapore, spend a couple of days there, and move your way up through Malaysia (1 week) and the rest in Thailand. You can fly back from Bangkok.
