Just south of Phi Phi is a larger, cleaner and much more family friendly island called Koh Lanta. We stayed at Lanta Family Resort, right on the beach, and there were a lot of people with kids there, and the price was definitely right! It's very calm, quiet, none of the raging discos and spewing backpackers that are rampant on Pha ngan and PP.
Koh Samui, similarly, is a lovely place, a little bit more wild and noisy than Lanta, but easily escaped, and the beaches are great, and there's a lot of people around, which means you've got all the services you could want.
Why don't you just check out Air Asia's fares and go for whatever is cheapest/most convenient?
We have been to Langkawi it was nice (although i was rotten with the indonesian flu at the time!!) but for a nicer location i would go to Koh Samui!! i would love to go there......
We were on a cruise and did Kuala Lumpar, Langkawi & Penang.... loved Malaysia.

Thankyou Shan. We went to Penang in Sept, it was good fun. Just dont get on the dodgy blue buses!! Where are you staying? We stayed at the Lone Pine in Batu Ferringhi, it was a simple little place, but perfect for us & the staff were great.
