alright expats help me out please.

trying to decide on a take the gf away type vacation. preferable somewhere chilled and nice beach in the day then nightlife on the night. for example Ko Samui staying on the chilled side then going to Chaweng on the night would be ideal but i don't want to do Samui again.

so options i have come up with so far are either Ko Chang or Krabi then phi phi. Chang seems to be winning out of those as from travelfish it seems krabi has no nightlife and phi phi is going to suck with the amount of tourists around christmas time.

so, which do you guys think is better and any improvements on this? also visited and don't want to revisit ko tao, ko pang yang, pattaya, phuket.

thank you.

As a girl, I have to vote for Costa Lanta on Ko Lanta. It's one of the few areas I have yet to visit and the hotel is sexy and private as hell. Pricey, though, and I'm unsure of the nightlife factor. But who needs bars when there is wine and hammocks? (imo.)

Also, how about an upscale resort in Chiang Mai? Or Koh Lipe/Adang (very different accommodation options, however) Or a cheap flight to Singapore + nice hotel? There are a lot of possibilities here. Exciting!
