The closest island to Bangkok is called Ko Sichang, it's actually a very relaxing place that's popular with Thai tourists and hasn't been ruined by westerners yet. It has 1 decent beach and an old royal palace you can see, as well as a Chinese temple that's some kind of pilgrimage site. I really enjoyed staying there and you can get there pretty easily from Bangkok if you take a bus and a ferry. Rent a moped.

In Bangkok you should stay somewhere on the MRT for the sake of convenience. Sala Daeng is a nice area. Chinatown is good.
Skip Khao San road unless you really enjoy places like Camden or Damrak, because that's basically what it is. A place for old white people to buy overpriced bad food and lovely tshirts.
