Prehistory and Sea Gypsies | ||||
|
The earliest known peoples to inhabit the Andaman
coasts of Thailand are the Moken, or so-called sea gypsies, who can still be
found here in several villages. The earliest people to leave trace of their
presence were painters who left images in caves, particularly in the top end of
Phang Nga Bay. Some caves here contain deep mounds comprised of shellfish,
leftovers from prehistoric human meals. |
