Meet your host
Isawan and Tommy are a couple with a deep love for the sea and a strong commitment to the Moken community. After volunteering in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, Tommy stayed in Khao Lak, learning the Andaman islands like the back of his hand. Years later, Isawan joined him, bringing her creative skills as a designer. Together, they work closely with Moken families to craft handmade goods, run thoughtful workshops, and transform marine debris into useful items. They also organize snorkeling and freediving trips, hiring Moken people as captains and crew, which provides income while sharing the islands’ beauty and local knowledge. What started with just two households now involves much of the village, all while keeping traditions alive and giving travelers a deeper, more authentic island experience.
