TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is contemplating whether to book accommodation on a Thai island for Christmas and New Year after having already secured a hotel in Koh Samui until December 12. Various comments suggest booking early due to the high demand during the holiday season, acknowledging that hotels fill up quickly and prices increase significantly. Recommendations for other islands include Koh Yao Noi, Koh Phayam, Koh Kood, and Koh Tao, with personal preferences for quieter locations.
