The Krabi province in Thailand is an excellent place to decompress for a week or so. Bonus if you want to do some rock climbing while there. Koh Samui is really touristy and I would give it a pass compared to other islands. Koh Phi Phi is also really touristy and I might recommend the other islands around there instead.
Also, you'll want to pay attention to the news while you're there. There are somewhat frequent border disputes between Thailand/Cambodia and Thailand/Malaysia. Sometimes overland travel is more difficult because of this and you might want to fly to avoid the hastle. I found flights to be decently priced though. Lots of discount options.
