by Eliza

Since December is nearing, it is time to finalise plans. Pack your bags and head to Koh Samui to celebrate a tropical Christmas and a wonderful new year.

What Is Koh Samui Like During Christmas?

Christmas is not an official holiday in Thailand; however, it is indeed embraced as a good time in time tourist areas in Koh Samui.

Where to Stay During This Season?

During the peak tourist season, most of the Koh Samui 5-star hotels such as the SAii Koh Samui Choengmon and most other accommodation options get fully booked. Apart from hotels and resorts, there are Airbnb’s, hotels and even apartments that can be rented for the season – whichever option you choose, make sure to book it in advance due to the aforementioned reason.

Expected Weather

Koh Samui is a tropical island. During December, there can be some rainy days. It is best to pack an umbrella or a raincoat, so you do not have to cancel plans in case it rains.
