Thank you everyone for sharing experience and suggestions. Having a Plan B seems prudent.
For this trip we're intending on FS Chiang Mai (return visit), and Amandari/Amankila (first time). We'd like to fill in an island experience with decent snorkeling, very good food, excellent service, and not too boring for our 9-year old daughter.
Would people suggest Amanusa as a Plan B, the Maldives (feels too far, but we'd pick somewhere near MLE to cut out some travel time), or something completely different...?
Thanks once more.
