Hey, Very interesting blog. I was wondering if you had further research on the Moken that you have come across. I am a student at Eastern University in PA studying Economic Development. I am planning on doing a research paper on the Moken people that relates to hunger, land and identity. If you have any info let me know Thanks John Q III

Sounds great!
Am heading to Malaysia in a few days and hope to eventually cross into Thailand using the same border crossing near Kota Bharu. I found your website after searching for "hitchhike kelantan" on a google search. I'm hoping to hitchhike from KL to Kota Bharu. Had no idea about the wayang kulit performance. Hopefully, they still offer performances. Thanks for posting your photos and such a great blog entry!

Gobbledygook
Gobbledygook was coined by U.S. Rep. Maury Maverick in a 30 March 1944 memo banning "gobbledygook language" at the Smaller War Plants Corporation.[3] It was a reaction to his frustration with the "convoluted language of bureaucrats."[4] He made up the word as an onomatopoeic imitation of a turkey's gobble.[3] hey Francis X keep the adventure coming! 'i travel vicariously through my friends' - s. stickler ciao mate

Moken
hi John, thanks for the interest..i stumbled across the opportunity of being invited to koh Lao..and had never previously heard of the Moken. So..what i wrote is pretty much all i know from personal experience..there is stuff online-- the website for the NGO is mostly in Thai there is National georaphic documentary made about a photograher who died. That NGO said they would print the peice but didnt-- perhaps it was a little too revealing? im not too sure? but -- most of my blogs were written quickly while travelling -- i need to go back and edit and elaborate..but they were always brief --im a very impatient typer! anyway -- sorry i could really help -- good luck with your research - the moken are a nationless people that are treated badly by the Indian, Thai, Malaysian & Burmese Governments...consiering there is only approx. 7,000 total you would think the countries would give them citizenship?? they do for the ones born in that country in Thailland, now, apparently..anyway..good luck it's a worthy cause! all the best, frank
