went there last month...
did:
3nights in BKK
3nights in Pagnam (full moon party)
3nights in Samui + snorkeling trip to Sam Sao (Natural Reserve)
3nights in Tao + trip to Nang Yuan
3nights in BKK
Bangkok is (imho) horrible.
Pagnam is not that great too, but there's some cool beaches if you look for it. crowded tho.
Samui was a nice surprise. very nice beaches, very nice night-life and all-around chill vibe.
Tao was freakin' paradise. best beaches, small enough and not as advanced as the others. also the cheapest meals/nights.
lessons learned:
buy ticket to BKK but buy the return from elsewhere.
one day/night in BKK is enough.
next time, book more than 20 days. it was the most frustrating part, not enough time to do all it was planned.
dont buy ferries/transfers/van tickets all together but rather pay-as-you-go. it will be cheaper and gives more freedom to change my mind.
forget about AC rooms or upscale accomodation... room just need a bed.
planning to go back next year in Sep/Oct again. this time, visit North (Chiang Mai and Pai) and Phuket side.
