    The Moken people need to be proud of their identity and never be ashamed of their culture. It is a beautiful culture.

    One of the Moken helped me once when I was stranded by a high tide. I wish I could have thanked him in his own language.

      I think this is exactly why they were herded onto a island and stuck together and given TVs vaccines, gov't schools etc.
      The controllers don't want humanity knowing how to live off the land and follow nature.

      Governments don't want us to know natural healing or how to survive off the land in times of famine, etc. That is why the the Stock Exchange, the UN, and the World Banks are in play. Money and control the ones with money will control, they will own everything.

      You're 47 with a ane like Kid Tuber? And watching a documentary is not enough to go on to just pack up and go live somewhere that you don't speak the language and have different cultures etc... but sure-I guess you can be whoever you want on the internet 🤣✌

    The Moken stories need to be recorded and archived. I assume a group is working on this?

    They should leave the Moken alone. The Moken should be allowed to move across their islands so their environment does not decay. They shouldn't have to deal with so many tourists only ethnologists and anthropologists should be allowed on that island to do research on that culture. The Moken also should have a say in what technology is allowed on the island and not have it forced upon them. They have lived a long time without help from the Thailand government so the Moken should have the last say on government interference.

    Those Moken tribe originally from south of Philippines surrounding islands and northeast Borneo island of Sabah state Malaysia. I think no other on this world you can meet sea Gypsy like them. They are unique...

    The ancestors of this tribe are originated in the southern most part of the philippines between the border of malaysia, most of them doesn't have permanent adress that is why they called sea gypsies they can cross legaly in every countries in south east asia, except singapore without holding passport majority of them can only found in tawi-tawi philippines, sabah malaysia, sumatra indonesia.

    There's about 2,000 islands further north off the Burmese coast that were pretty inaccessible last time I saw it back in 2007/8,even the mainland towns seemed really hard to get to as they were surrounded by jungle,I,m fairly sure sea gypsies were quite common,I wonder what the opening up of Burma& tourism has affected that region as it always seemed an escape for them,Thailand is ruined by tourism.

    A very sad story when your Culture is Practically taken away from you, the Indians on the American Continent, from Canada to the Tip of Agentiana, South to South East Asia, it's sad when your whole life has been on Beachfront and are told you must leave so some Hotel can be Built on that Beachfront and not only that it becomes all inclusive and it's Only paid guests have exclusive rights to that sections of the Beach where you once played as a Child, and that's happening the World over. It's sad where the Human Race is HEADING, I maybe Pessimistic, with all the New Innovation, onless the Human Race Change it's selfish ways there's No Bright Lights at The End of the Tunnels. North Korea, Instead of Investing in Agriculture they Invest in Bombs, China, An Expansion in Troops and Military Warfare's, Russia the Same thing USA the Same thing, they all wants to be the # 1 Super Power on the Planet, Instead of taking that Money and Invest for the Betterment of Human Race, instead they Invest to Destroy the Human Race. ☮️.

    Just want to let everybody know, the word g*psy is a slur, and always has been. It's been historically used against the Roma. And it originated when racist propaganda just assumed that they were from Egypt. The Romani people originally came from a part of Northern India (I'm pretty sure). But yeah, it's heavily normalized, but is and always has been a slur. Not trying to attack anybody who's previously said it, but just so ya'll know.

    That’s not the way to help the Moken! No no no! This is NOT right! Modernity is horrible for these sea people! Where is the humanity in this? Their culture and their heritage are being destroyed! The same thing happened to the Lacandones in the Jungles of the Yucatan Penninsula! Tourists? They are human beings!
