Ok.
1. 7 days is less for 4 places. You will be rushing most of the places. Phuket is far away, its either an overnight bus or a flight journey. Are you taking flight between places or cab or bus ?
If you want to stick to 4 places,
Bangkok - 2/Pattaya - 1/Phuket 2 /Krabi 2
If you want to drop 1 place, it will be Phuket just for the time taken and hassle with family travelling and then you can really enjoy the other places. Bangkok is huge and if you want to go to the good spots, you need 2 -3 days there itself which your schedule wont allow you.
Day1 - Bangkok
Day2 - Krabi
Day3 - Krabi
Day4 - Phuket
Day5 - Phuket
Day6 - Pattaya
Day7 - Bangkok
Pattaya is close to Bangkok ( 3 hours ) so you can go there and come back same day or stay overnight and come next day depending on schedule. Think again if you want to do 3 or 4 places.
2. Hotel - whats your budget per day ?
3. Points to remember
Travel with thai cash distributed with your wife or have a travelers card loaded with money prehand. If taking taxi, make sure its by meter or you can do uber also for local travel. Dont leave money or expensive things back in the hotel unless you have a locker
Touts are everywhere so dont fall for any typical tourist traps. stick to your plan
If you are shopping, expensive things can lead to customs when you come back so know the limits of carry.
Any local tours you take can be booked at hotel or travel shops that are everywhere. Do remember these tours will be fast from 1 place to another so you will have to adjust as per their schedule and other people will be on it also as its mostly shared. Private tours are expensive.
If you want to know anything particular, let us know.
