Kho Tao is full of undeveloped bays and waterfalls. Koh Toa is a very little island, only twenty two square kilometres and almost half of that too rugged to attain. To begin with the islandwas not inhabited, visited only by fishermen from nearby islands when in search of protection during heavy storms or when they require clean water and food. It seems bizarre that such a tourist paradise should have been originally earmarked as a penal island. Odd, but true. From about 1933 until 1947 the islandwas home to political prisoners. Being nearly 70 km from the mainland meant it was moderately escape proof! Alcatraz...piece of cake. KoTao is surrounded by loads of Whale sharks & Black Tip Sharks too. Every now and again progress can be a wonderful thing, it's a good thing KoTao has maintained its chilled atmosphere, ]it is,it's] still nigh on impossible to find a crowded beach. Ko Toa's standing broadened and speedily improved as it broadly became known all over the world through international travellers and adventurous visitors.
