Live is a boat, discover the
forgotten sea gypsies and the
islands of the Andaman sea.
The Myanmar Andaman sea is
the right destination for adventure
travel tours, a almost unexplored part of the Indian Ocean bordering
India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and partly
Thailand
with almost no contact to
any foreigners except the Thai part.
The last times foreigners were seen in
the Myanmar Andaman Sea was during
British colonial time,
now slowly some "live aboard" diving tours are offered
out of Thailand
.
There
are not many places on earth so
untouched and this wont last very long
have a look into our unique
e-books
......on
the Andaman Sea......
just the right stuff for your adventure
travel tours into a area almost no one has been
there.
Sea Gypsies
Salone or
Moken never live permanently. 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.
Salone
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. They 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;

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.
In our book on this adventure travel you will find comprehensive
up to date information about the Andaman
Sea and the seafarer, for the casual
traveler and also from a ethnological
point of view.
.....Facts about the Salone 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 ).

Salone in the Mergui Archipelago
Myanmar Burma Sunset
until recent days no foreigners have
been allowed into the Myeik / Mergui
archipelago, the area off the Myanmar
Tanintharyi / Tennasserim coast.
The
Myanmar Andaman Sea around is dotted with more
than 800 untouched islands, 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. |

In 1990 the Myanmar government
changed the mostly English names
of the islands to native names. |
|
|
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.
