They were the twin brothers Khun Oh & Khun Ueam who reached the islandby boat from the neighboring islandof Koh Phangan, Ko Tao was still under protection of the king in those days but it didn't prevent these fortune seekers from claiming their stake of land. KoTao now has twenty four hour electricity on the island too and finally they have had a water reservoir built to make sure that even in the dry season there is enough water for all. KohTao is a very small island, only 20 square km with all but half of that too steep to attain. To begin with the island was not colonized, frequented only by fisherman from nearby islands when looking for a safe haven during storms or when in need of clean water and supplies. It seems bizarre that such a tourist paradise should have been at first earmarked as a prison. Bizarre, but true. From about 1933 until 1947 the island was home to political prisoners. Being almost seventy km from the nearby mainland meant it was comparatively escape proof! Alcatraz...piece of cake. Ko Toa is surrounded by lots of Black Tip & Whale sharks as well.

Kohtao is a small islandin the gulf of Thailand. In the early days getting to Koh Taorequired a treacherous boat trip from the main land or near by islands, if and when the seas and weatherpermitted but the population of the islandcontinued to grow firmly all the same, even when simple life was hard without much reward. From the days of being a prison, through to its current development, Turtle island has retained it's sparkle, though it now caters for everyones needs and budgets. Unlike before 2000, visitors can get today everything from low-priced basic wooden huts with thatched roofs to elegant exclusive places with their own private facilities and swimming pool.

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.
