Highway 44 is the best road in Thailand - keep heading towards Krabi (Highway 4) and you'll see the sign to Suratthani/Samui. The highway past Surratthani is pretty boring IMO (as is Hua Hin) but worth a trip.
On the way back you might like to try taking Route 401 to Baan Ta Khun (heading towards Takua Pa) and then through the Khao Sok National Park which is quite stunning. You pick up Highway 4 at Takua Pa and Khao Lak which is also worth taking a look at on the way back south to Phuket.
Don't forget to take some good music and expect your TG to sleep the whole time your on the road
