Phuket - Thailand Adventure

Hello folks,
I'm glad i found this site. I was getting nowhere with postings and responses on other sites! Couple of friends and I are headed to Thailand soon for the 3rd time staying 3 weeks. We have been to Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Phi Phi, and Koh Samui before and I really want to see new places. Since we liked koh samui the best, this time we are planning to party few days in Bangkok and about a week in Samui. But where else can we go beside those places to get a good daytime activities (good beach, sights, etc), and nightlife where we can easily meet and hang out with local girls. I have to convince my friends that they won't get bored and lonely!

All I can think of is going to Krabi (Ao nang, Railey) and Koh Chang but not sure about nightlife. Any suggestion and help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You've been to the best (most touristy) places already, so anywhere else we suggest will not neccesarily live up to them, as far beach, entertainment etc.

In between BKK and Samui, is Hua Hin, might be a possibility, beach okay, entertainment, little to be desired, beer bars etc there.

Why not just pick your favourite places visited so far, stay different parts of say Samuii, or phuket?, in 2 visits you couldn't have seen all of these places completely?? could you?? or chuck in a few days at all of them, surely there are things you wanted to do but didn't get round too?

Welcome Tony. For what you are looking try Phuket.. Stay 5 days in Kata, then Karon, then Patong, then Phuket city with a few extra days for Samui! Krabi, while very nice, is worth a visit but not sure if it will be up to your friends expectations.

Yes, I did read that you have been to Phuket, my point was you can stay in many places on the island, have a blast and still do all the things you are looking for!

Hey thanks, I see what you're saying, and both saying the same thing. Maybe I should try kata and Karon, as I've been to Patong. Any good and reasonable price hotel in Kata and Karon??
