I'm thinking of a couple of days away from Pattaya next time and would be interested to hear opinions on the choice between Chang and Samet. I was in/on Koh Chang a couple of years ago and really liked it. Never been to Samet though. Samet is closer to Pattaya, so transport is a bit cheaper, but gets mostly bad reviews in terms of price and service.

I'd be bringing a "friend" with me, so that's not an issue, but just in terms of value for money, decent (1000bt) hotels, or other recommendations would be appreciated. Which would you choose?
