Yep Singapore is 48hours not 72 hours , I wouldn’t even want to do that kind of flight, on & off in so many destinations & so many long layovers , that is putting the %age of testing positive on arrival way above average , personally I wouldn’t take the risk

You will need to take test and get results 48 hours before leaving Guangzho to comply with Singapore regulations at least thats how i read it. The first international flight.

Think it has more to do if you have to clear immigration or not.

Oh sorry see it's one booking but different airlines but still think that domestic flight will change things as far as Covid tests/entry to Thailand. Don't know if your bags would even be tagged all the way through. I'm not an expert though but just pointing out some things I think you need to look into...also if any of these flights get cancelled or delayed along the way what happens?

You also have flights within Malaysia so not sure how that works as you are not just landing at one and transiting out of county but rather flying domestically. It would change things I think if you have to clear immigration. Not sure if that's allowed or not. Probably have to do a little digging to find out.

It's 2 days not 48 hours for Singapore for Covid test. Is this all booked on one ticket? Think that's what will make the difference.

Thailand requires a paper copy but you should be able to find somewhere to print in Guanzhou.

Michelle brought up good point is this one ticket ? Otherwise problem in Singapore read the link she posted.
