Any island with an airport on it is not going to be your cup of tea.
ie) Koh Samui in Thailand is just a large tourist trap disguised as a scenic island. Koh Tao is much more relaxed, laid back, not as touristy and dirt cheap.
If you do the border crossing over land from Thailand to Cambodia (we did on our way to Siem Reap / Angkor Wat) you will want to get the hell out of Poipet Cambodia as fast as possible.
I've been all over the world and Poipet has the most crippling/depressing poverty I've ever seen.
