The Moken people are a semi-nomadic ethnic group primarily found in the coastal regions of Myanmar and Thailand. They are often referred to as "sea gypsies" due to their traditional lifestyle, which revolves around fishing, gathering, and living on boats. The Moken have a deep connection to the ocean and rely on its resources for their sustenance. Moken culture is rich in oral traditions, with stories and songs passed down through generations. They are known for their exceptional skills in free diving, allowing them to gather seafood from the sea floor. Despite facing challenges from modernization and environmental changes, the Moken continue to maintain their unique way of life.
