If you have more than 10 days to spend in south Thailand and are open to the idea of seeing another island then split your time between Koh Samui and Phuket. There are more than 6 direct flights per day between Phuket and Koh Samui and the flight lasts about 55 minutes. If you book far enough in advance fares are very cheap.

It is also quite a bit less touristy than Phuket. In Phuket, ordering several bottles of beer costs about 100 THB (USD 2.70), while Pattaya’s prices are much lower – 70 THB (USD 1.8). This doesn’t just go for beer too. In general, alcohol is much cheaper in Pattaya than in Phuket. Nightlife selections are also more varied in Pattaya than in Phuket. Also, December to March in Phuket is the dry season. June to October in Phuket is the rainy season. It's quite rainy in Cebu. Phuket receives a lot of rain in the autumn. Phuket usually gets more rain in October than Cebu. Phuket gets 304 mm (12 in) of rain, while Cebu receives 150 mm (5.9 in) of rain this time of the year. Pattaya is no easy one.
