You don't need to do anything before you leave Samui. In Chiang Mai, within 24 hours of your arrival, you should go to the immigration and register your new address with them, using the form TM.28, which you can download here:

Undoubtedly the correct advice. However, when I tried to do this having moved home in Pattaya the Jomtien Immigration Office effectively told me to go away and come back and report with the new address at my usual 90 day reporting time. Maybe because within same Immigation Office, I don't know, but it does seem that they make it up as they go along some times! Worked though, reported new address at 90 day renewal with no hassles.
