All looks fairly good. I would recommend shaving a few days off Bangkok and Phuket at the end to stay an extra day in Phnom Penh and while you are in Hanoi - you would be crazy to miss out on spending a few days at Halong Bay."Expect the unexpected" - Old jungle saying

I would also seriously consider a Mekong Delta tour while you are in HCM City."Expect the unexpected" - Old jungle saying

too rushed. you need to do Halong Bay in Hanoi which is a 2 day/1 night trip (full 2 days), so you need a minimum of 4 nights in Hanoi. You also need to add time to Hue/HoAn (need 4-5 nights total) and it makes sense to fly to DaNang and bus to HoAn from there and then go to Hue before flying to Hanoi, in that order. You need at least 2 nights in Chiang Mai and you should do the Mekong Delta in HCMC, so 4 nights there. You should really revise to include NIGHTS in places, not days, as it seems you're going to be spending half of your first and last day on that itinerary in transit, so it really doesn't count. 3 nights needed in Siem Reap. Phuket should be fine with 4-5 nights with a side trip to Phi Phi.

Don't spend all your beach stay at Phuket. I suggest you do a few days at Phuket and then a few at one or more of other nice places on the way south towards your goal of Singapore.
