Planning on using Bangkok Airways Discovery Pass for some portion of the travel. Is this itinerary doable? Missing anything? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated! Thanks.

A couple of suggestions here:

Daytrip from Bangkok: Consider Ayuthaya or, at a push, Kanchanaburi -- though the latter makes for a long day trip.

I'd rec. flying to Siem Reap, especially if you're going to use the Discovery pass, it's a long, slow, not all that scenic overland trip, and given your rel. short timeline, I'd go the flight.

I assume youre flying to Samui, if not then I'd go to a closer island, perhaps Samet - just to cut down on transport time.

Tis all doable and looks like a good taster for your next trip!
