Prior to World War II, the island was little known.

During this period, the few families there

made a living growing coconuts and fruit. 

During World War II, when Thailand was occupied by Japanese forces,

This island was the scene of the 1941 Battle of Ko Chang

between the Royal Thai Navy and a Vichy French naval squadron,

in which the French won a decisive victory.
