1936, the government had a policy for the Department of Corrections to set up a reformatory estate and a prison. Being a remote island having natural elements which pose obstacles against escape. Tarutao was, therefore, chosen for this purpose. An ofcebuilding, houses for warders, a sleeping hall for prisoners, and an occupational training centre, were built at Ao Talo Wao and Ao Talo Udang. ln 1938, the rst group of 500 prisoners was sent to the island. The number of prisoners gradually increased to a maximum of 3,000. Ln 1939, the government sent 70 more political prisoners resulting from the Bowondet and Nai Sip rebels, to be detained at Ao Talo Udang.In 1941, World War ll caused an impact on the Tarutao reformatory estate and made it be in short of food and medicine. As a result, a great number of prisoners died of illness. The warders and some peisoners decided ot attack commercial ships sailing in the sea at the Straits of  Melaka and rob goods from them. There-fore, commercial ships were scared to come by the area. In 1946, the British government who ruled Melaka at the time suppressed the pirates of Tarutao by force upon permission from the Thai government. Later, the Department of Corrections announced the dissolution of the Tarutao reformatory estate estate. After that, the island was left deserted for 26 years. On 19 April 1974, the Royal Forest Department declared the establishment of the Tarutao National Park, the rst-ever marine national park of Thailand.
