thailand 10 days.. IS THIS POSSIBLE..?!

MY BF AND I ARE TRAVELLING TO THAILAND FOR 10 DAYS IN FEBUARY. I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO PHI PHI AS WELL AS ATEND THE FULL MOON PARTY BUT WONDERING IF ITS TOO MUCH TO DO IN 10 DAYS CONSIDERING THE TRAVEL TIMES.
I WAS THINKING
BANGKOK FOR 2 DAYS THEN FLY TO PHUKET TO GO PHI PHI FOR 4 DAYS THEN FLY TO SAMUI TO GO TO FULL MOON PARTY FOR 3 DAYS THEN BACK TO BANGKOK TO GO HOME.
WILL I NOT ENJOY THE ISLAND BY NOT STAYING THERE ENUF AND WILL I BE WASTING TIME BY TRAVELLING.
PLEASE HELP AS I WOULD LIKE TO BOOK FLIGHTS AND ACCOMODATION ASAP.
THANKSSS

Why don't you just stay in phi and do the full moon there...honestly, the full moon party has been SO done, that its not enjoyable anymore.....and everywhere has a full moon celebration . Enjoy the serenity of phi phi and not the drunken debauchery rip off of the fmp in kpg..... .If you do go, you are correct in flying over..its the easiest way..

Screw the island FMP, see some culture, head up north to Chaing Mai ot Pia a few days....

When time is limited, I find 3 days on an island can give you a real good idea of the place. So sure, your idea will work.
You can minimise time wasted in travel by catching a late ferry out of PP to Krabi, a bus or minibus to Surathani and the night ferry to Phangan which leaves at 2200 or 2300 from the town pier. Great way to travel to Phangan on your own numbered matress and pillow as the ferry chugs on. It arrives around 0500-0600 and transport is waiting at the pier to take you to your designated beach.
I have a fair bit of info on PP and Phangan in the second link below.

I am biased! I would choose the gulf side hands down! Others will tell you to go to the Andaman side. I just really like Koh Phangan. The party is a bit overrated, but it can still be fun! I wouldn't go there just for that. It tends to be cheaper on the gulf side for me. When are you planning to go?
