History - Resort
A short history of "Koh Talu" It is a small
and private island in the Gulf of Thailand, there is
an area about 1,500 rai, its structure is like an enormous
whale, its beach is face to the coast, the back side
is a high cliff, a mountain trend lying down from North
to South, there are 3 bays with the white and clean
beaches, that's Big Bay, Pearl Bay and Thien Bay, most
of them used to be agricultural garden for coconut palm
trees and the area around "Koh Talu" is very
rich of sea resources, especially after January, the
winter wind will blow a lot of sea resources from the
Yuan Cape-The Gulf of Tonkin to pile up at coast of
the Gulf of Thailand at Koh Talu, Bangsaphan so it is
an important place for fishing. In the past, there were
thousands fisher boats did fishing without any consciences
and taking care; they also used the bomb for doing that
and destroyed its ecology system finally. In 1982, Fisheries
Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Co-operatives
had started the Sea Reviving Project, began the Management
of Fisheries Resources Project by Bangsaphan community,
It is the first place of Thailand for doing project
like this, they also provided the course to build and
rebuild the conscience for fishing with the convention
and responsibility for the fishermen in the area and
near by. They laid down the thousands artificial corals
into the bottom of the sea to be the bleed fish's home
for laying down their eggs, increasing them into the
Gulf of Thailand. And most of artificial corals become
a dam for protecting otter trawl of the big fisher boats
which used to destroy the ecology system, due to a balance
of the system and people also understood well about
this, cooperating for protecting and deducting some
disagreements within community, due to an important
way of resources reviving permanently.
In the Present day, of Koh Talu-Bangsapan Bay has been
rebuilt to be rich of resources again; the coral reefs
which used to be destroyed by the bombs due to the fishing
now it returned back and be alive, making lot of colorful

History - Island
A legend of Koh Talu (A tale of Prajoubkirikhan) is
the most famous for tourists because it is a source
of "Koh Talu" as a tale told that for long
time ago, there was a family lived at Aow Noi, Prajoubkirikhan,
there were 3 people in this family - father's name was
"Tamonglai", his wife's name was "Rampueng"
and their daughter's name was "Yomdoy" who
was very beautiful, so there were lot of men both near
and so far really need to be with her. Her beauty went
far a way to Muang Petburi.
A governor of a province had a son, his name was "Jaw
Lay", he had heard about her beauty so he disguised
to be a fiherman, came to meet Yomdoy. They met and
fell in love each other suddenly; by then he asked for
get married with her mother-Rampueng without telling
anything to Tamonglai. At the same time, Tamonglai was
catching some fish around Aow Bangsaphan and the he
met with a Chinese junks Group, they were Chineses merchants.
Tamonglai invited them to his home and one of them was
a son of a leader, he met Yomdoy, and fell in love her
suddenly too so that he asked for get married with her
from Tamonglay, he accepted that but didn't tell this
to his wife-Rampueng at all too.
On the wedding day, both groups were coming to Tamonglai-Rampueng's
home, they reached there at the same time, A trouble
thing happened and couldn't stop, they were arguing
and were very angry each other. And Rampueng stared
throwing a hat to Tamonglai, the hat flew to fall dawn
to be a Hat Island, (Muak Island) and she again threw
the bamboo basket to her hasband-Tamonglai again, that
bamboo basket flew to fall down to be Bamboo Basket

pestle and then it still flew to fall down to an Island,
its name Koh Sag, at the time that wooden pestle was
flying to hit an Island, there was a mouse deer, he
was looking for some food around there, it was hit by
that wooden pestle and its head was cut and flew to
fall down to be Mouse deer's Head Island in Chumporn,
at the same time, its intestine flew to fall down to
be Mouse deer's intestine Island near by. After that
they were fighting together and finally Rampueng lost,
so she ran away and died finally-it became to be Mae
Rampueng Mountain, laying down to protect Mae Rampueng
Bay since that day until now. After his wife died, Tamonglai
was very sorry and became mad, he tore his daughter-Yomdoy
