The Mergui Archipelago with its 800 islands is one of the last "terra incognita" in which otherness ethnic and biodiversity still have a meaning. The presence of the sea gypsies (the Moken) the development of a tradition within the Myanmar fishing community. and a nature still to be discovered makes this place one of last paradises on earth. They live a traditional lifestyle on the Southern part of the Myeik Archipelago. off the coast of Myanmar.
The Moken are also known as "Sea Gypsies". since they live on boats and inhabit in the sea. They are an ethnic group with about 2000 to 3000 members who maintain a nomadic. sea-based culture. Their language is origin from Malaya and likely immigrated to the Myanmar and Thailand areas from China 4000 years ago.
Their knowledge of the sea enables them to live off its organisms by using simple tools such as nets and spears to forage for food. What is not consumed is dried atop their boats. then used for trade at local markets for other necessities. During the monsoon season. they build additional boats while occupying temporary huts.
