HIGHLIGHTS
We are a team of 6 people plus community partners seeking to serve the needs of local communities. We have successfully implemented over 120 projects in 12 villages by listening to and working with the villagers themselves. The traditional Moken people, a group of nomadic seafarers, have been forced to live on within the boundaries of the Koh Surin National Park as a result of the modern environment. We began working with the Moken to develop a community based tourism group so that they have more control over the tourism that is taking place within their village. We have facilitated guide trainings and tourism meetings have taken place to give the Moken more confidence and the skills needed to develop the tourism in their village sustainably and respectfully. The Koh Surin Moken Program offers a way for the Moken to gain a supplementary income and take pride in their amazing heritage!
Tourism at it's best! To learn about the Mokin culture from the Mokin people themselves is to feel like you are part of something good, something reciprocal. It is vastly different than walking through their village as a gawking spectator with one of the big tour groups. They are gentle, shy and vastly wise about the region. We have much to learn from them. Time in the village and snorkeling with Moken guides were equally unforgettable.
