Internet is fine there, but the places might only be nice if you are a Russian.
I visited Koh Samui last summer after 20 years, it was really shit.
Hot, hardly any green left, oil on the beach, was my last visit.
But there are many more places i went years ago that are ruined now.
Now in Vietnam, i know how it was and i think it is fucked also.
But there are some nice unspoiled islands near Phu Quoc that might be nice around European winter time.
If you have 2 months it is best to just book a week and be able to travel around when you don't like it. And best is to not go to a place with direct flights from Europe/China/Russia. Cause most vacationers want to leave the plane and head for the beach for 2,3 weeks. If you are further from an international airport, it will be nicer.
If you think of Thailand i would do:
- Bangkok
- Flight to Krabi and few days there (Raleigh beach is nice to smoke some..), maybe to Phi Phi for short time (ruined also)
- Minibus / Taxi to Koh Lanta
- Minibus / Taxi and ferry to Koh Phanang
I was in Koh Lanta in low season, that was too quiet and a lot of plastic on the beaches.
