I have July off work and was planning on visiting a friend in Kualar Lumpar for a couple weeks.
I'd like to see some other countries/cities in SE Asia while I'm there as I have the time and travel between the nearby countries looks very cheap, and some KL flights stop in places like Singapore or Bangkok.
I was thinking something like:
1st July-ish:
London -> Bangkok (stay 2-3 nights)
Bangkok -> KL (stay ~2 weeks)
KL -> Singapore (stay 2-3 nights)
Singapore -> London, maybe stopping somewhere like Istanbul on the way back for a night or two.
But I'm totally flexible on dates, how long I stay places and what cities I go to, which is great and means I can just go for whatever is the best deal, but it means there are almost infinite possibilities to explore!
I've never done anything like, this so was wondering what is the best way to go about searching for something so vague! Are there sites that can help? Is an actual travel agent going to be worth it (I'd only need flights, not accommodation)?
Or does anyone have any tips for routes/cities/airlines that would be cheapest to get to…?
Many thanks!

The question is more about where in SE Asia to fly to/from London to get the best deal.
However they do run a website giving advice for travellers so have a look there:
Some travel tips before you go

And some advice for visiting Singapore and Bangkok

They cover other countries and cities like Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong but you don't mentioned them. (edited)
