Thanks Amy,

We were thinking 4 nights in Bangkok which should give us enough time to see the grand palace, cruise up/down the river, maybe see the zoo and do a little bit of shopping

One of DF's friends lives in Pattaya, near Jomtien beach I think, so that's why we're heading there. They have 2 kids, one the same age as DD so we'll probably hang out quite a bit and I guess it will be like having our own tour guide. DF's parents haven't seen DD (except for skype) since she was 8 months old so we'll mostly just be spending time together because it'll probably be another year before we see them again.

Koh Samui sounds nice, I might just take you up on your offer
