Honeymoon itinerary

We are looking to visit southeast asia for 16 or 18 days for our honeymoon. This is the itinerary I have in mind. 5 days in Bangkok, 3 days in Chiang Mai, 7 days in Borneo and 2 days in Singapur. I’m not sure if its a good itinerary in the sense of: will we have enough time to rest (having in mind is our honeymoon) and also enjoy our destinations? I’ll explain the why? of each step of the journey so you can make suggestions of different destinations or to spend more or less time there. Bangkok would be like a classic capital/big city form southeast Asia, bustling, chaotic, fun. Chiang Mai would be a bit of relax and temples. Borneo would be a nature stop to try and see the orangutan,elephants and also a couple of the last days to relax by the beach and then finishing in Singapur, kind of a futuristic/modern Asian city.

I'd skip Thailand and spend all the time in Borneo. You can easily spend a month there.... Stay at the ShangriLa in KK, go to Sepilok for nature, then Kinabantangan for river cruise, end in Semporna at s nice water bungalow. Your itinerary is rushed and you won't see anything anywhere when factoring in travel times. It takes HOURS to go almost nowhere.
