Id pick Lamai on Samui and Thong Pan on KPN.

Stupid question without telling what you want to do... beaches,  girls,  ladyboys, boys, temples, food...

Most dont go there for temples. Girls at all major beaches.

 

Thong Pan Nan Yai is a nice quiet beach. Lamai on Samui is more busy but good.

 

KPN is pretty small. Easy to do on motorbike. Not much traffic.

 

Samui has bad traffic. So Samui more important to pick beach.

Can youtube the beaches and see.

Samui has heaps more nightlife. KPN is more about relaxing. I liked both. Never been to Tao.

 

Id split them 4n Samui, 3n KPN if it was me.

Thanks for that.

 

This is really early stage planning and I not considered linking the two places.

 

Nightlife is not important, relaxation and having a choice of restaurants is.

Samui heaps more restaurants. Samui you could need 2 weeks to see it all. KPN can see it all in 5 nights.

Then I suggest Choengmon or Maenam.

Lots of choices at both.

Usually good sunsets in February, so Maenam probably better for that reason - especially if you are with your partner. Lots of good restaurants with exceptional views.

[KhunLA]

February ... definitely S, and Chumphon or below.

 

Phuket if don't mind tourist, as high season and popular for a reason.

[khunPer]

There are many beach/sea view option available in the 3k to 6k baht range, even nice beachfront bungalows or rooms.

 

It's merely a question if you wish something more than looking at the sea or being in front on the beach?

 

One thing to consider is transportation. If you for example fins an great place to stay by Maenam Bay or Bo Phut Bay, but wish to visit the nightlife often, you should rather consider Chaweng Beach. If you however, are looking for excursions like daylong boat trips to the marine park or neighbouring islands, or daytrip on Samui, there will normally be a pick-up service included at your hotel, and you will be brought back after the tour. In such a case, could a little more remote from nightlife destination – which can still have plenty of good restaurants and some cosy pubs – like Maenam Bay or Bo Phut Bay and several other places, be excellent options.

 

You can use Google Street View to "walk the beaches", and when you find something of interest you will find a link to a website for further information.

 

If you tell little more in the group here, about what you are looking for, you might get some useful suggestions for places to stay.

I liked, but didn't love Hua Hin.

 

Cha Am would be my next kill a week at a low key beach-place. 3K would be the top end there.

Central Pattaya....   

[Keeps]

If Samui/Lamai beach then Pattra Resort is nice and fits in with your budget. Not directly on beach but only 2 minutes stroll away and smack in the centre of town.

If you do decide to split your week between Samui and Koh Phangan I've made a suggestion above for Samui. For Phangan I'd consider heading to Buri Rasa resort at Thong Nai Pan Noi beach. It's away from the crowds. They can arrange private speedboat transfer from Samui directly to the resort or collect you from Thongsala pier if you make your own transport arrangements from Samui.

I've stayed at both of the suggested resorts and found both excellent.

[Tropicalevo]

If you decide on KPN, I always stay at Maehaad Bay Resort.

Next to a lagoon/beach and Koh Maa. Stunning sunsets. 700 square meter pool.

I stay there for 3/4 days every February

You Wanted Recommendations for somewhere to to stay, I gave you one!, KC is only 3.5 hrs. from where? certainly not from BKK more like 5+ hours or Patts and if you only have one week as YOU stated then flying to Trat is a sensible option. You are calling others Morons I suggest you take a long hard look in a mirror. If you had stated in your OP you don't want to come to Koh Chang I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to give yo a recommendation. MORON.

Correct. All the Brians on here are like that. Something in the name.

 

Try Maenam Samui, if not your cup of tea try KPN.

 

Ignore the trolls.

Please Don't ever come to KC again. Ok it's on that forum but their is no need for your very rude replies. Calling someone Retarded just goes to show what kind of person you are.

Now you'll really upset the OP, not the forum he wants, wait for his rude reply.
