Thailand is awsome, no visa required, travel is easy. You can fly Bangkok to Phuket, or take a train or bus. Traditional thinking is that the Similans and Indian Ocean side is best during winter. Summer is Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao. I did a liveaboard to Similans July 2007 on the Colona IV, we were the only dive boat out there, I had no idea that the park closes during summer? The Colona was the best value I have ever seen in Liveaboard diving. Private cabin with bath 4 days diving 4 nights on board for US$576. Koh Tao is a fun backpacker place with beautifull coral and way inexpensive. What Thom in Bangkok is a must see as well, have a great trip.
