I wouldn't cancel out Samui at all. I agree that it is worthwhile to see as much of LOS as you can.
Approximately 2 hours from Bangkok to Pattaya by car.
Another option you *could* consider is to visit Koh Samet from Pattaya. This would add a bit of travelling time to your itinerary (Bangkok --> Pattaya --> Koh Samet --> Bangkok Airport --> Phuket --> Samui) but would make for an excellent trip with a nice blend of action and chilling-out interpersed.
