Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - One of the reasons I was very interested to visit Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island in Thailand is not only because it’s a gorgeous National Park, but also because it’s home to the Moken people - a sea nomadic community - experts of the ocean. So in the afternoon, we headed over to the village on the island, and it was an honor to walk around, and learn about the Moken people and their amazing culture. #Thailand #Andaman #island

 

Moken - or people of the sea - traditionally live in the Andaman sea islands around Thailand and Myanmar. Traditionally, Moken people would live partly from their boats, and partly on ground. But eventually this community settled on Koh Surin, forming a village.

 

One of the amazing things about the Moken is their acute knowledge of the sea. During the devastating tsunami in the Indian ocean in 2004, the elders of this village knew something as different, and they instructed everyone to climb to higher ground. Though the village was destroyed everyone from the village survived. It’s this sense of nature and the world that makes the Moken so special.

 

Though it was a short visit, it was interesting and a privilege to learn a little about the Moken people on Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island.

Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

INCREDIBLE INDIANS!

An Indian left his job and joined salesman's job in a big department stores in Canada.

Boss :- Do you have any experience?

Indian : Yes a little too much...

On the first day, that Indian worked with full mind.

At 6 pm the Boss :- How many sales did you sell on the first day today?

Indian : Sir I sold 1

Boss : Only 1 sale ??? Usually every salesman working here does 20 to 30 sales daily. Well, tell me how much money did you sell ???

Indian : $93300 dollars.

Boss : What ??? But how did you do it?

Indian : 1 person came and I sold him a small fishing hook.

Then a mazola and then finally sold a big hook. Then I sold him 1 big fishing rods and some fishing gear.

Then I asked him where do you go to catch fish and he said in the coastal area....

Then I said it would need a boat. So I took him down to the boat department and sold him a 20 ft double engine scooner boat.

When he said this boat won't come in his Volkas Wagon, I took him to the auto mobile section and sold him the new Deluxe 4 x 4 blazer to carry the boat.

And when I asked him where would be going fishing ???  He didn't plan anything. So I took him to the camping section and sold him a six sleeper camper tent.

And then he said when he took all that he would take $ 200 groceries and 2 cases of beer.

Now the boss took 2 steps back and asked in a very rude way :- *You sold all this to the man who came to buy only 1 fish hook*???

Indian : "NO, SIR..." *He only came to take 1 tablet for the headache.... I explained to him that fishing is the best way to get rid of headaches.*

Boss : Where did you work before ??? *In India*???

Indian : Yes, I was a doctor in a private hospital : *On a minor complaint of panic, we get the patients tested for pathology, ECO, ECG, TMT, CT scan, X-ray, MRI etc*.

Boss : You sit on my chair. 😄

So this man goes into a shop in Kolkatta and tells the sales lady, "Can you show me some Shaarts".  She says, "Sir are you Bengali or Punjabi"  Dude says, "How does that matter" and She says, "Sir, if you are Bengali I will show you Shirts and if you are Punjabi I will show you Shorts"

With due respect to all Bengali friends ... in true spirit of humour ...

Why did the British shift the capital from Calcutta to Delhi?

Because they got sick and tired of the Bongs saying "GOD SHAVE THE QUEEN" !☺🤪
