Here they discovered some thing more then just a new island to explore and soon the back packer network was buzzing about the fantastic newly found tropical island paradise of Koh Tao. Hyptomised by the pure white sandy beaches, the back of beyond aura, and of course the cheap living, back packers soon arrived in droves. A culture shock to most people, but generally the island reacted with a passion to these new visitors, over the following months much change has taken place, new resorts, with more facilities, a new array of restaurants offering different food from around the globe. On June the 18th 1899, the then king of Thailand King Chulalongkorn (Rama 5 1868-1910) visited KoTao and left his monogram as evidence on a huge rock at Jor Por Ror Bay near Sairee Beach. Koh Tao is full of undeveloped beaches and waterfalls.
