The Moken people, also known as sea gypsies, are an indigenous group that live in the Surin Islands of Thailand. They have a unique way of life, relying on fishing and living off the sea. The Moken people are known for their exceptional free-diving skills and their ability to navigate the sea without the use of modern technology. They have a deep respect for the ocean and live in harmony with nature. Despite facing challenges such as modernization and climate change, the Moken people continue to preserve their traditional way of life and culture.
They are the only one allowed to fish near the island but can not sell it so if you visite the Moken village think about bringing some pocket monney to buy souvenir and help those people.
