seeking (Thai) island to hang out in - late Oct.

21 years ago
Before heading up to ChaingMai to settle into for some months after my arrival 10/15, I'd like to make use of my Bangkok arrival point to head south to one or more islands. I am thinking about KO CHANG or KRABI area. Anyone have experiences in these places (or another favorite island) - to share?
My interests: sun/beach. swim, snorkle - also hiking and kayaking.
Seeking mellow area, quiet, inexpensive accomodation (250 bat or less) And how to best get there from B'kok?
Big Question: THE WEATHER!
I want sun, clear water; not squalls, flooded roads, major surf. Is there some island that can be mellow in late October, or do I need to bag the islands until (???) month?
Grateful for your thoughts, experiences. writerjoe
