Thailand/Phuket/Phi Phi/etc.

OK Ruth here is a question about Koh Samui and Koh Tao because I have been thinking of going there or somewhere similar around November or December.

I am worried about a place being overrun by hordes of European tourists.

I want a place that is relaxing with good scenery and a good feel about the place. I would be interested in taking a dive course, doing some sightseeing, and spending time lazing around.

I don't want lots of commercialization, beer-drinking loud smelly European tourists, pollution etc.

So tell me if these places are suitable or not.
