The path has changed, and most operators are on the old one
A few years ago the route was simple. A guest searched Google or browsed a booking platform, and that was it. You optimised for those two and you were covered. That route still exists, but it is no longer the whole map.
Where they actually come from now
Today a single guest might ask ChatGPT for ideas, check your Instagram for the feeling of the place, read your Google reviews for trust, glance at your website to confirm, and then book through whichever link was easiest. Five touch points, and you need to show up well at each. Miss the AI answer and you are not on the shortlist. Miss the reviews and you lose the trust check. Miss the booking path and you hand the sale to a platform.
The island makes this sharper
Koh Samui has a defined set of operators in each category. That cuts both ways. It is crowded, but it is also winnable, because the field is small enough that being the best answer in your category is a realistic goal rather than a fantasy.
