Koh Tao is a nice island near Chumphon. Kho Tao is a place of impressive beauty and charm, a place, where visitors can have a holiday away from stress, lazy and on the beach or active and fast paced. In 1947, Khun A-Paiwong, Thailand's Prime Minister at that time, asked for & got a royal pardon for the islands prisoners and thanks to a gracious act by His Majesty the King. They were released and transported to Suratthani on the mainland and the island was uninhabited yet again. This was the same year that the original settlers started to claim a big piece of land on what is nowadays identified as Sairee Beach. These were the two brothers Khun Ueam and Khun Oh who came to Ko Tao by a small boat from the next island of Koh Phangan. Departures & arrivals were on the local coconut boats, and even then delays of several days were common practice, so back to the hammock and a world of dreams, the boat will come another day.
