Around 1947, then Khun A-Paiwong, Thailands Prime Minister at the time, asked for and got a Royal Pardon for KohTao's prisoners and with thanks to a gracious act by His Majesty the King. Kho Tao offers a lot of popular things to do one being diving at most of Ko Tao beaches. Local farmers and fishermen quickly realised that business people from other places were developing their island to accommodate to the needs of all these new customers and they too, immediately started to open their own businesses to fulfill all the clienteles demands. A culture shock to many, but generally the island reacted with a passion to these new visitors, over the following months much change has taken place, new resorts, with more facilities, a new array of restaurants offering cuisine from around the globe.

The early 80's brought to KohTaosome of the first travellers from Ko Phanganwho were looking for some thing new away from the masses & crowds who were going mad for the full moonparties on Kho Phangan. KoTao is surrounded by big sharks too, nice friendly ones fortunately. Strange, but true, from 1933-1947 KoTao housed political prisoners. Being situated about 65 km from Suratthani or Chumporn meant it was very hard to escape from! Alcatraz...piece of cake. This small islandwas still under Royal Patronage in the early days, but it did not thwart those fortune hunters from staking their claim. The first generation of todays community started settling when they brought their families to KoToa and began to cultivate and reap the rich soil and natural resources on offer. Although it still being under Royal Patronage, acres of land were claimed, and vacated for coconut plantations. You can still see plenty of verification of the very large plantations all over the island.

Information about Koh Tao

oh Tao is to the northeast of Surat Thani, about 38 kilometers from Koh Phangan, and about 64 kilometers away from Chumphon.

Since 2005 it is now really easy to get to Koh Tao. You can drive with one of the high speed catamaran boats. You can also arrive from one of the neighboring islands (Koh Phangan or Koh Samui).

Diving in and around Koh Tao's beautiful coral reefs is the islands main attraction. Resorts on Koh Tao offer a wide range of accommodation to fit most budgets.

Traveling around the island and visiting other beaches and bays pretty easy.. Just off the concrete main road you have to be careful when driving on dirty roads. Pick -ups and taxies can be found almost everywhere.

On June the 18th 1899, His Majesty the King Chulalongkorn (Rama 5 1868-1910) visited Koh Tao and wrote his sign as evidence on a big boulder at Jor Por Ror Bay (near,next to] Sairee Bay. This place is honoured until today and get treated with great respect.

Ko Tao is petite, 22 square kilometer and half of that too steep to get to. The island is surrounded by a lot big sharks as well, nice 'non-human-eating' ones fortunately. And yes, you can still snorkel with sharks, and perhaps the odd turtle too, just check out our web site for all the local dive centres available.

In the begining this small island had no one living on it, visited only by fisherman from not far away Koh Samui when looking for protection during thunder storms or when getting water or and supplies.
