Thanks so much for your replies.

I will deffinetly head to the island first and do Bangkok last now, it makes much more sense!!

I read up a bit about Ko Samet but i am thinking that it might be a bit too crowded for what i am after. I guess my problem is i am just too picky...i know that i will have a great time no matter where i end up but i really really want to find somewhere without too many tourists and crowds. Although the beachs look so nice....and so do those on Phi Phi, the only downside for us is the crowds and the prices. There is nothing i hate more then being really ripped off and i am also on a backpacker budget so i have to be careful.

Well i guess it is official i am never going to be happy unless i stop being so dam fussy!!!
