Ko Tao's standing spread and quickly improved as it extensively became known throughout the world through international travellers and adventurous visitors. Immediately following the terrible events of the December 2004 Tsunami, the type of tourist visiting Ko Tao have changed, previously it had been a Mecca for back packers, year out students along their way Chiang Mai and beyond. It has lots to offer but hasn't lost what attracted back packers here in the first place, it is still a little piece of tropical paradise for all to share and enjoy. This small islandwas still under Royal Patronage in the early days, but it didn't stop these fortune seekers from making their claim. The first generation of today's community started to settle when they brought their families to Koh Toa and began to cultivate and reap the rich earth and natural resources on offer. In spite of it still being under Royal Patronage, pieces of land were claimed, and vacated for coconut plantations. You can still see plenty of confirmation of the huge coconut plantations throughout the island.
