Sorry to butt in. Try Mae Hong Son a little northwest of Chiang Mai close to the Burma border. You can stay in a little rustic resort (by my standards) along the Pai River and as the morning mist evaporates, elephants will meander down and take their morning bath.
On a sadder note, I saw Ao Nang on the tube. There is damage. Koh Phi Phi isn't even recognizable. I hope the Similian National Park has survived. I still haven't managed to find time to dive there. Hopefully you will go someday in search of the Whale Sharks that swim the waters there.

I've done liveaboards for days in the Similans, I pray that the dive masters that sometimes spend weeks out there at a time are OK, I got to know a few from repeat trips.
I didn't spend much time on Phi Phi, but have dove all around the islands, its a special place.
