The island now has twenty four hour electricity on the island too and finally they have had a water reservoir made to ensure that even in the dry periods there is enough water for all. 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. Mesmerised by the pure white sandy beaches, the back of beyond aura, and of course the cheap living, backpackers soon arrived in droves. In the begeining this petite island had no one living on it, frequented only by fisherman from near by islands when seeking shelter during thunder storms or when in need of fresh water and supplies. The early 80’s brought to KoTao some of the first travellers from Koh Panghan who were looking for something new away from the masses & crowds who were going crazy for the full moon parties on Koh Panghan.
