On the Surin Island on the west coast north of Phuket and Khao Lak you will find people which are different from the local people in Thailand. They call themselves the “Moken”. In Thailand are they also known as the “Sea Gipsy from Surin”. I just had the chance to visit them last June. People say that they live on the island for more the 200 years. Where they come from? Nobody really knows for a fact. The “Moken” make a living out of daily fishing and time to time they trade some fish for other things they might need. Trading partners are sometimes dive safari & scuba liveaboard vessels from Phuket and Khao Lak  which stopping by in the bay for a night. On this beach at Surin Island time has standing still for the last 200 years and the “Moken” don’t really want to change this. It takes about 8 hours from Phuket and 4 hours from Khao Lak by boat to get to the Surin Island in Thailand. Check it out!
