[2025 Koh Phra Thong Attraction] Travel Guide for Moken community (Updated Mar)

🪼🐠🐟 Morgan Village is located in Surin Islands, Kuraburi District, Phang Nga Province. 🐬🐋🦀🐡 🌟The Moken people have been wandering in the Andaman Sea for over 100 years and have settled on islands in the Andaman Sea. The Moken people's way of life is fishing, diving for shellfish, sea cucumbers and other marine animals to make a living and to trade and exchange with rice and necessities for a long time. 🌟🌴It is a village that survived the tsunami. The senior Moken people in the community saw the unusual drop in sea levels and saw a large wave coming, so they warned their children and people in the community to climb up and take shelter on higher ground. Houses were damaged, but no Moken people died from this incident. In addition, the Moken people also made items to sell to visitors, such as necklaces, bags, and other items made from marine waste. Don't forget to support them. 👧🏽🧒🏽 🚤 This trip We traveled with Seastar and there are many others. The price is not more than 2 gray tickets/person.

#thailandtravel #phangnga Visiting the Moken village was an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on us. The community’s way of life, deeply rooted in tradition and seemingly untouched by the passage of time, was remarkable to witness. The Moken people have inhabited the islands in the Andaman Sea for over a century, and their connection with the sea is both profound and captivating. As we strolled through the village, we admired the simple wooden structures that made up their homes. Fishing is the main livelihood for most of the villagers, reflecting their deep bond with the ocean. Scattered throughout the village were small souvenir stalls, offering handcrafted treasures like ankle bracelets and intricately carved bangles—each piece a unique reminder of their rich cultural heritage. Although our time there was brief, the village stood out as one of the most fascinating highlights of our visit to the Surin Islands.
