Located at the edge of Thailand’s lush rainforest, the Surin Islands are home to the Moken, the last sea nomads who have survived for centuries by living closely with the ocean. This audiobook explores their rich cultural history, resilience in the face of external threats, and the profound impact of modern changes, including increased tourism and government policies. It highlights how their traditional knowledge helped them survive the 2004 tsunami while also examining the challenges they face as their way of life is increasingly threatened.
