Our original plan was actually either Koh Samui and Koh Tao.. It was before someone showed us some article that alleges these place as being "not safe". I personally have my doubts on the articles but sadly now have reservations.. which was why we really hope for advise by local Thai (better yet if Steemian) as to better places to go and what advises and things we should take note as foreigners.
I really look forward to our (@vaelriey and me) trip to Thailand and it would mean to world to us if we are able to meetup with you too! That's what Steem is all about after all!
I think Thailand in general is safe and you won't find trouble if you aren't looking for it. Let's meet in July then! :)
I know what you mean.. Let's meet up soon!
