Thailand-s Paradise Island - Koh Surin: - 100% Real Durian Chips - Order Here: Koh Surin - One of the reasons I was very interested to visit Koh Surin island in Thailand is not only because it-s a gorgeous National Park, but also because it-s home to the Moken people - a sea nomadic community - experts of the ocean. So in the afternoon, we headed over to the village on the island, and it was an honor to walk around, and learn about the Moken people and their amazing culture. #Thailand #Andaman #island Moken - or people of the sea - traditionally live in the Andaman sea islands around Thailand and Myanmar. Traditionally, Moken people would live partly from their boats, and partly on ground. But eventually this community settled on Koh Surin, forming a village. One of the amazing things about the Moken is their acute knowledge of the sea. During the devastating tsunami in the Indian ocean in 2004, the elders of this village knew something as different, and they instructed everyone to climb to higher ground. Though the village was destroyed everyone from the village survived. It-s this sense of nature and the world that makes the Moken so special. Though it was a short visit, it was interesting and a privilege to learn a little about the Moken people on Koh Surin island. If you haven-t seen my other Koh Surin national park island tour, you can watch it here

For sure, if I am gonna live in that area, I will not be able to find my beloved and will not be able to live / stand with that kind of lifestyle too. I am just a simple person but don't want to live a life that is as simple as that, but I respect people who do have that kind of living, after all, they are also created by GOD, and also, I really love all kinds people, whether cultured or not cultured.

Amazing vlog, they are almost like the Amazon tribe. I hope they can keep their way of life and are not influenced by the outside world and tourists. Too bad you can't sit and have a meal with them. It would be interesting to see what kind of food they eat.

Strange that you did not mention the fact these people have been forced by the Thai government to live on the land and that they cannot live at sea as they once did, Thailand very racist to these. People-s way of life but great vid as usual

Great video! Love to see more about the village people. I'm lakota and learned much from my elders as they do. Nature tells us everything we need to know to survive. Many generations in usa blow off elders or just disrespect them, a loss!

Moken are Austronesian people like their cousins at maritime Southeast Asia. They remind me of Badjao people we have in the Philippines, basically people spending most of their lives at the sea.
