Thai authorities have banned beach parties on some holiday islands following the murder two British tourists last month.
Surat Thani governor Chatpong Chatputhi, whose province includes Koh Tao, said no beach parties would be allowed apart from the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan.
The bodies of Britons Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were found on a beach on the tourist island of Koh Tao, or Turtle Island, on 1 September, prompting a barrage of negative publicity.
Two Burmese men charged with the murders were due to appear in court.
And Mr Chatpong said: "We've reached a point where we need to clean up the image of tourism in the province including beach parties that can get out of control and lead to violence.
"This is aimed at tourists' safety. Sometimes these parties are held at secluded locations that are difficult to reach and where we cannot offer adequate protection."
The ban covers all islands in the province, including Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Mr Chatpong said authorities on the islands were taking down posters advertising parties.
"Some people who come to the islands want peace and quiet but there are all sorts of parties," he said.
"This is also because of the killings on Koh Tao ... It's time to put things in order."
Police say Ms Witheridge and Mr Miller had been out drinking and went to a secluded stretch of beach where they were killed.

The murders have hit Thailand's tourism industry, which makes up nearly 10% of gross domestic product, at a time when the sector is reeling from months of political unrest.
Thailand's human rights commission says the two Burmese suspects may have been tortured during interrogation and has launched an inquiry.
Mr Chatpong said Koh Phangan's Full Moon Party, which attracts thousands of young foreigners every month, was not being banned because it is well organised.
