Mar 1, 2014 - Ko Surin, Thailand - Palm trees and boats at low tide on one of the many beaches the Moken forage on in Mu Koh Surin National Park. Often called sea nomads or sea gypsies, the Moken are a seafaring people who for centuries lived nomadically on the Andaman Sea. However, due to stricter border control, commercial overfishing, rapid development, and tourism, the Moken have gradually been forced to adopt a settled lifestyle. Today, the Moken who live in Koh Surin National Park, one of Thailand's most remote group of islands, have it better than many of their kin and are still able to live a lifestyle largely based on tradition and the sea. On these islands, it's possible to see free-diving Moken men spearfishing in the water or groups of women foraging along the shores, tidal pools, and mud flats.
