I thought this was a troll thread when I saw the title.
Bangkok wins in almost any category.
-Cost of living
-Quality of women
-Quantity of hot women
-Fun
-Muay Thai
-Beaches
-Mountains
-Tiger petting zoos
-Adventure tourism
-40 minute flight to Myanmar - final economic frontier in Asia
-Number of clubs and venues
-Equally good as a regional and intercontinental air hub
-Equally good as a budget flight destination
-Facing the strange and exciting every time you go to the local 711
-Learning a new language by default
-Emerging market and exploring business opportunities
Singapore wins for overall salary (although the cost of living and alcohol will eat that up anyway)
Singapore wins for low taxes if you want to incorporate. But then again this all depends on what you are doing.
Singapore wins for English language penetration - but then you are speaking fluently in English to a bunch of sterile and boring people. Would you rather have funny pantomime conversations in broken English with Thai people while picking up Thai or speak English to close minded Chinese douche bags and learn nothing?
If I was married and had a couple of kids I would still probably live in Thailand if it came down to it.
If you were going to die 5 years from now you would remember your year in Bangkok much more vividly than the year you spend in that giant sterile cultureless shopping mall at the tip of the Malay peninsula.

Question - are you going to build your career? Are you going to live as a digital nomad? Do you want to start an import/export business? Are you trying to launch a tech startup? Do you want to work in finance or private wealth management?
What are your goals? What are you trying to get out of these spots?
