Story and photos by Austin Bush, CNN • Updated 19th April 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Ko Surin, Thailand (CNN) These days, Salamak Klathalay, like most of us, lives in a house, on land. But this is a relatively new experience for the 78-year-old. As a kid, I lived on a boat part of the year and on land part of the year, Salamak tells me from his home on Ko Surin, an island-bound national park in Thailand s south. We would go to land during the monsoon season to look for tubers. After that, we would go back to our boats. Salamak is a member of Thailand s Moken ethnic group.
