You would first read a little about the country, about resorts and attractions. Based on your questions, you can write a book. Tai is a large, interesting and contrasting country. And after you decide on the resort, you can start choosing a hotel and analyzing excursion routes.
And the end of May for Tai is not the most comfortable period for most of the country. Of course, it doesn’t happen badly there, but it’s rather stuffy and the probability of at least night rains is guaranteed. Still, the period from May to October is considered off-season.

If you have a honeymoon, it is better to go to the islands, enjoy the sea and each other!

It is much more interesting on the islands, but you can lose money with the season, of course. Pattaya is not so affected by the season - but it is dirty there, and you can’t swim in the sea, and you can’t get on excursions because of the rough sea and the “lack” of tourists. Phuket is both more expensive and off-season. My recommendation: explore Koh Samui for this period. And you will choose excursions depending on the resort.

I was on Koh Samui in November. For three days a tropical downpour poured, but did not tire. True, the sea was dirty for several days and excursions were canceled due to a storm. It takes an hour to fly to Koh Samui by plane from Bangkok. language problems. The island is small. The main attraction is the monument to the big buddha. We must go to Samet, there is the best sea, but there is a purely family vacation, without parties. From Bangkok by taxi to the seaport, and then by ferry, better private, more expensive, but calmer.

If you choose according to the pagoda, then in the summer the weather is normal and predictable only on Koh Samui.
In any case, small islands are purely beach holidays, there is nothing special to see there.
From the point of view of an active excursion program, Pattaya will not be in competition, but the sea there is the dirtiest of all the other options. But that doesn't mean you can't swim. No need to live in the center of Pattaya and everything will be fine. Phuket is a cross between small islands and Pattaya.

You, comrades, need a combined 3 day Bangkok tour + Koh Samui. On Koh Samui, the season is from May to October.
In Bangkok, embrace the cultural program of sightseeing and shopping, on Koh Samui, relax and enjoy. If you wish, there is also something to do there - Pardize Farm, Namuang Safari Park, Angthong Marina Park, Wat Plai LAem Temple and Buddha are right there nearby, you can swim in Tao for a day - there is a special offer from the Lompraya company, whose catamarans go between Koh Samui and the mainland along the way, stopping at other islands. Under water, there is nothing to see on most of the sea resorts. The exception is Tao - people go there from Koh Samui to swim with a mask for a day.
And the "best" - it is for everyone, of course.

Yes, and also - on your honeymoon, do not spare money for an internal flight to Koh Samui :) It's an incomparable pleasure - to fly on a small painted rotorcraft to the airport-hut, and it's also nice to fly away. And the lounges at Bangkok Airways are just great for all passengers.

If you want to visit Thailand specifically, then it will be nice on a honeymoon trip both in Phuket and Pattaya, depending on how much you have, hotels, food, and fruits are more expensive in Phuket compared to Pattaya. In Thailand, hotels are taken only with breakfast, then they eat in cafes. It is advised to take money from about $ 700 per person for 14 days, we spent about the same in Pattaya in June 2014, took many excursions for 18,000 baht, the rest for food, souvenirs, beachwear, this is true without alcohol and expensive purchases type of crocodile skin products and jewelry. In general, it is advised to take $ 1,000 per person for 2 weeks, we took it with us, but spent less. Take money in dollars, in bills of 100 and 50 (higher exchange rate).

April, May are the hottest months in Thailand, on the beaches of Phuket the main problem this season is high waves, but people relax in May, read the reviews of tourists who vacationed in May, if this weather suits, and prices, then you can Phuket. If you are interested in a youth party, take a hotel on Patong Beach (although they say the sea is worse there), but this is the very center of entertainment, if you want a relaxing holiday, then a hotel on Kata Beach, it is possible to walk to Kata Noi and Karon Beach. Hotels on Karon Beach are also good, but this beach has big waves this season. Moving between beach areas by taxi or tuk tuk is expensive, 500 baht one way, so you need to immediately choose where to settle (party or a relaxing holiday) or ride a rented motorbike yourself if you can. Take a sunscreen with protection 30 or 50 and do not forget to use it, as it is easy to get burned, especially near the water on the beach or on excursions and ruin your vacation. Take excursions in local travel agencies (significantly cheaper than your own travel agency), there are many of them, you will find them.

And finally, Pattaya, yes, the water on the city beaches is dirty (to put it mildly, swimming is not pleasant, well, who cares). For swimming in clear water, tourists go to the island of Koh Lan, 40 minutes by ferry, there are 4 beaches on the island. Perhaps, as newlyweds, you can afford the Centara Grand Mirage 5 * hotel, there is a good area and water slides (its own beach) and then the problem of swimming will be solved at the expense of the hotel. Siam Bayshore Hotel 4 * (good and not cheap hotel) next to the pier and in order to ride a ferry to Koh Lan, you do not need to get to the pier from other parts of the city. If you don’t want to overpay for a hotel, but it’s better to spend more time on excursions, take 3 * hotels (Grand Jomtien Palace (we rested), Green Park. Don’t choose very cheap hotels, judging by the reviews, there may be theft in the rooms .There is no problem to get to the center.Visit a 2-day excursion to the River Kwai, see Bangkok, parks, zoos, elephant shows, 3D gallery, transvestite shows, there are also excursions to more distant islands.Try seafood and exotic fruits. For the first time in Thailand, in May, both Phuket and Pattaya are suitable for newlyweds, depending on your budget and preferences.

In Pattaya itself, you should definitely go to the Buddha Hill and the neighboring hill from which a beautiful panorama opens (the reference point is some museum of the Navy).
In the evenings, a walk along the road beach promenade is obligatory, with an hour visit to the massage parlor.
Pattaya also has a snake show, but nothing special. Be sure to visit the show of transvestites Alcazar or Tiffany show, and preferably both. And lastly go to the shock show 69 :)
For excursions:
From Pattaya a must:
flight of the gibbon
river kwai
Nong nooch
Khao kheo
From Bangkok
Dinner + view from Bayok sky (From 20:30 to 22:00 50% discount), you can visit on your own, tickets are sold on the spot
Tour the temples and canals of Bangkok
Oceanarium

Khao Kheo and Kwai can also be visited from Bangkok, it is not necessary to go to Pattaya for this. Plus Ayuthaya. The show is also in Bangkok.

By the way, Koh Samui is a cool airport. Free Wi-Fi upon presentation of a ticket, free food, cool territory. The food is good on the plane too. We arrived in Bangkok in the morning, had breakfast on the plane to Koh Samui. At Samui Airport, a taxi costs 800 baht, but if you get off, then agree with a taxi driver for 500. On the way back, we booked the Baiyoke Sky Hotel. (We used to be in Thailand, so we didn’t go on excursions) At the airport we went down to the lowest floor and on the blue line for 40 baht we reached the station RACHATPRAROP, went to the right and saw the hotel. The observation deck for hotel residents is free. The room is awesomely huge, they lived on the 25th floor, even the shape of a water bottle in the form of a hotel. There is a huge wholesale market near the hotel, it works from 5-6 in the morning. It seems like junk, but everything is 100% cotton for 100 baht. You can’t buy gifts of 100 rubles (decent) for 100 rubles anywhere. Yes, you can pick up all sorts of T-shirts and T-shirts for yourself. The food in the hotel restaurant is tasteless, it cannot be compared with food on Koh Samui! Do not wear chains and earrings on yourself, it attracts crooks in the evening. The policeman, seeing two chains around my neck, advised me to go down another street.
