Meet the Team

Member since: September 2014

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!
