We went to Ko Samui last July as thought it was very similar to Bali. Samui has much better beaches and is a bit more chilled than Bali.We really loved Samui - but have been to Bali 10 times and going back next week...I think it is the culture that keeps dragging us back - Bali is a very special place for sure.
Phuket's vibe is similar to Bali.
I highly recommend Ubud (Greenfield or Tegal Sari)and we love Seminyak too.
We are going to Gili Trawangan this time - looks great. Staying at a place called Scallywags - US $85 per night with breakfast - can't wait :)
Think your immunisations are about right - but I am not a medico :)
Have fun
