    Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - One of the reasons I was very interested to visit Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) 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 (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island.
    If you haven’t seen my other Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) national park island tour, you can watch it here: • Trip to PARADISE ISLAN...
    Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

    We were there last year and because of a massive fire that burned half the village down, we were unable to visit. We were told that they would have it completely rebuilt in less than a week! Truly, a self-contained community! And a beautiful part of Thailand! Thanks for sharing 😍

    Wow the tsunami survival story was just incredible. I remember seeing the surge and devastation from the news back in 04 from the Philippines. It's amazing that through reading nature's signs none of them perished. Another amazing video Mark, thank you for letting us immerse in their culture through your videos. God speed. 😊 watching you from Southern California.

      Baby immigrant to Canada, who learned barely growing up thou realized as young adult, trying to reflect more in my forties how much the first persons, natives, Métis, Inuit went thru here
      It’s saddens me at moments watching these amazing worldly cultures because I question the absence of that. How may it look different here in Canada. And like those, what could we learn from them?
      It scary because under ruling of what should be leadership globally there’s many atrocities.. this creates trauma over generations yet I can still see the heart of all being good which has hope
