I spoke with my friend and fellow fellow Korsin (who is from Thailand) about places to see and a possible itinerary.
He suggests:
1-2 days in Bangkok - recommends staying near the train station (which is the center for citywide travel), seeing the Wat Phra Kaew (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha) - thinks the wikitravel itinerary for Bangkok is "not good"
Water market (about 1 hour drive from Bangkok)
A bus trip to Ayuttaya
Fly from Bangkok to Phuket
Stay in Phuket for a few days
Take a bus trip Krabi Providence
then take boat trip to Phi Phi island
He says not to go further south than Krabi for safety reasons
He says we should be overpriced for tours, buses, hotels, tuktuks, and souvenirs.
He thinks the cabs and food shouldn't be overpriced. He also suggests to take only metered taxis.
He also suggests flying the local airline NokAir (http://www.nokair.com/) for cheaper flights
Okay, now we have some good Thailand suggestions.

You said Phi Phi Island. Hee hee! Just kidding... I know I have the sense of humor of a toddler. Anyway, looks like Dr. T gave you great advice! He didn't tell you to visit Chiang Mai? He always talks so lovingly about his home town.
