Summer Travel

[arncap]

In 2 weeks time, I'll be spending one week on Koh Samui with family. After that, my 4-year old son and I will spend another 3 weeks in Thailand together. I was really hoping to do some traveling this time around (my 6th trip to Thailand). I was thinking of the following:

After Koh Samui, head across to Krabi and Phuket for a couple of days each. Following that, I would really like to get to Koh Chang, the central plains, Chang Mai and Chang Rai, Isan, and head into Vientiene, Laos for a couple of days. Then head back to Bangkok for our flight back to Tokyo. Any suggestions as far as routes, modes of transport, tips, etc.?

I know it's the rainy season but I don't want to let it ruin our trip...

Thanks...
