Cambodia! It is close (can fly there with air asia), fairly different, and the Ankor Temples are probably the biggest tourist attraction in SE Asia!
Burma! Bagan, inle lake, super! Not many western tourists yet.
A week is not enough to see everything in Thailand, you will have to pick and choose.
In November, the islands to the west are better for snorkeling etc. (Ko Lipe, Ko Yao Noi, Phuket, Krabi and so on) (Ko Phagnan, Ko Samui etc. are best may - sept) Staying on Nangyuan Island is nice after the day trippers have gone, but the food is not great.
