From the days of being a prison, through to its current development, Turtle islandhas retained it's magic, though it now caters for everybodys tastes and costs. This small islandwas still under Royal Patronage in the early days, but it did not avert those fortune seekers from making their claim. The very first generation of todays community started to settle when they brought their families to Koh Taoand began to farm and reap the rich soil and natural resources on offer. Even though it still being under Royal Patronage, pieces of land were claimed, and vacated for coconut plantations. You can still see loads of proof of the very large coconut plantations all over the island. Every now and again progress can be a wonderful thing, it's a good thing KoTao has kept its chilled atmosphere, ]it is,it's] still nigh on impossible to find a crowded beach. On June the 18th 1899, the then king of Thailand King Chulalongkorn (Rama V 1868-1910) visited Koh Taoand left his monogram as evidence on a huge boulder at Jor Por Ror Bay near Sairee Beach.
