Wow, I must say you guys are absolutely awesome! That's more than a great start and I didn't expect that much detail, but I'm more than happy to get all the info. I think right now, I'd do something like this:
June 6-9 (travel) - arrive in BKK, stay for a day. Take in some shopping, boxing, maybe check out a tailor or two (though I've read the quality and overall sketchiness of the tailors is not good, but I'd play it by ear).
June 10-14 - fly to Koh Samui, ferry to Koh Phangan, party for 5 days and explore the scenery.
June 15-18 - head to either Koh Tao or Koh Samui (depending on what you guys would recommend), maybe take in some open water diving (I've never done it before), along with some parties, and general exploration.
June 19-20 - Fly back to Bangkok, chill, pick up potential suits and wait to return to reality.
I do appreciate the help, and any further advice would be great. I probably need to pick up a backpack considering lugging around a regular suitcase seems a bit cumbersome, and unnecessary considering limited clothes are needed in the hot beach environment. Though I wonder how easily a backpack could be snatched up if I leave it alone for a couple minutes. Activity wise, I can always find things to do, so I appreciate the advice (I don't think I'll be doing the crazy motorized stuff as I usually do because of the solo travelling, and so far away from home if something does go awry). I guess at this point my main concern all in all is safety of my belongings. I need to find a place that has a safe for my money during the day, and a place where I know my belongings won't be snatched up. I hope that won't be hard to find.
