If you stay in Phuket, be prapared to spend an average of 5000 B (125 $) per day (hotel, drinks, food, girls). Everything is expensive there. I like Phuket very much but you must have a minimum experience to avoid tourist (or newbie) traps.

My average cost for 1 day in Koh Samet is 1500 B (35 $). Drinks and food (seafood) are very very cheap.
Nightlife is not very important in Koh Samet. Only 1 bar where almost evveryone goes. There is no prostitution there but there are often thai or wstern girls available for free (although it doesn't seem to be clear for everyone).
The only drawback of Samet is that there is absolutely nothing to do there. It can be very reaxing but also quickly boring if you plan to stay more than 1 week.
Regards,
Bobby
