Sea Gypsies

Salon or Moken never live permanently on a place. They travel around the sea and live temporarily on the islands where greener landscape exists. After the rainy season, they wander about the sea during winter and summer seasons, collecting marine products. Being at sea from birth to death, they are very skillful at sea. Some historians call them "Sea - Gypsies" because of having no fixed abodes. They can dive down to the depth of 80 feet under the water without diving gear. They used to live away from others. They are very simple, like alcohol and cigars much. At the instigation of the British they became opium-consumers and as a consequence, they become outcasts in social, education, and economic affairs.

Most of the Salon are addicted to intoxicating drugs, alcoholic and smoking since the young age. As they do not remain permanently on one location, they have no interest in cultivation and live-stock breeding. When they have enough supplies they do not work. Only when they have nothing to eat they do work. They are indolent by nature;

only young men work, collecting natural food stuff, though endorsed with natural resources they remain miserable poor.

They are very sincere to their masters or elders of the tribe and are obedient.

Although they are skillful to certain extent in handicrafts they are past-masters in building Kaban boats.

From the end of British colonial times until recent days no foreigners have been allowed into the Myeik / Mergui archipelago, the area off the Myanmar Tanintharyi / Tennasserim coast. The Andaman Sea all the way down to Phuket Island in Thailand is dotted with more than 800 untouched islands (in Myanmar) , densely forested with jungle, usually a frontline of white beaches and sometimes rocks. One of the very few “virgin” places on this planet, above and under the ocean surface.

Our e-books

.....Facts about the Salon were first discovered in the travel
diary of a Frenchman published in 1675. In Morris
Collis's "Siamese White" they were called Silita.
In 1891 census report of Kaw Thaung Township, they were called Silone.

Many years ago, they lived in Malay Peninsula and now, on the islands of Myeik, Botepyin and Kawthoung Districts. They are called Besing by the Malay. Thias called them Chao Talay or Chao Lay ( men of the sea ), Chao Nam ( men of the water ) and Chao Ko ( men of the island ).

On all the islands there are no hotels or similar you might have the possibility to stay in one of the native beach huts, the right place for your adventure tour, except one very near to the Thai border but on a Myanmar island, this resort includes a casino. If you ever might go to the islands, don’t be shy to ask if you can stay in one on the houses. Pls. keep in mind to pay accordingly.
Since the end of the 90 - ties some diving companies operating out of Phuket, Thailand, got permission to explore the waters.
