more comfortable and more likely to get a newer aircraft

You'd have to be pretty desparate as a tourist to consider any of this
"interesting". Maybe a little bit. But, face it, Singapore is an
incredibly boring city. Clean, safe, spotless, faceless and boring.

(I've been to Singapore 20 or 30 times, and Bangkok probably 100
times, there is no comparison, Bangkok is a more interesting place by
far.)

Take a taxi to Changi Airport and buy a ticket to Bangkok. You can see
all the buildings in Singapore from the air.
