Stateless in Thailand The Sea Gypsies
The Molken People of the Andaman Sea area or the sea gypsies are traditionally nomadic people. They have been trapped inside countries such as Thailand. With modern passport control they now have limited travel freedom. They are stateless people with NO RIGHTS in any country. This means no passports, no schooling, no health care, no legal rights and often no jobs.
Read here for some basic information on the Molken people.
