The Moken of Ko Surin by Kristin Sherwood

Kristin Sherwood visiting The Moken of Surin

We are grateful to Kristin Sherwood for the lovely blog describing her stay with the Moken of Surin:
“Imagine waking up to the sound of water lapping along the shore, a picture-perfect beach outside your window. The shallow sea is a mesmerizing aquamarine. There are no cars, no commercial fisherman, no loggers to threaten this paradise.
This was my reality for three days, as I visited the island national park of Ko Surin in southern Thailand.
I was one of the lucky few, having come with Andaman Discoveries, an organization whose mission it is to partner with communities to help them to benefit from tourism. As such, I was privileged to spend much of my time with both a Moken guide and a translator, learning about the culture and getting a taste of their way of life.”
