koh samui w/ 6 mo.-old: suggestions on hotel, gear

[mwinchina]

we're taking our 6-month old girl on vacation to Koh Samui late this month and would love for advice on

-- where to stay
-- what to bring

we're looking for an inexpensive place to stay near a beach that's not going to have throbbing disco music going on all night ...

we were thinking of taking our 9mth old to Koh Samui too...would be great to hear of other parents' experiences. it's either KS or a trip to somewhere in Europe...

Here are some travel tips for a 6mth old, what to bring, etc.
