Question On Samui Hotels @ Peak Season

[Khema]

i am going to be on Koh Samui between Dec 27 and Jan 6, so I am booking the first 5-6 nights in advance. then I am going to leave a few nights un-booked so that we could move to another part of island and find hotel that we like on the spot (ie not via photos on the web).

or should i book ALL nights in advance because we won't find any reasonably priced rooms early Jan?

cheers

I think it depends on what type of resort you want to stay at, ive never had problems finding accommodation here at that time, even after the tsunami (when everyone rushed over here). But our resort is fully booked already for Christmas, so as I said, it depends what your after.
