This Moken village is the home of the Moken people, who number around 400 in Thailand and between 2,000 and 3,000 in Myanmar. Most of them live a semi-nomadic lifestyle and frequently travel by sea. About 20 to 30 years ago, some Moken families settled in permanent villages on the Surin Islands.

The Moken village is located in the Surin Islands National Park. It is said that the Moken people migrated here even before the area was designated a national park. All the children can swim from birth. There is a school and a health center on the island, so one doesn't have to travel far. The villagers live traditionally in wooden houses, catch seafood from wooden boats, and produce handcrafted goods.
