brief introduction

The coast of Phuket was once occupied by nomadic people at sea. They are called "hipsters" or "sea gypsies". These people will exploit all kinds of shellfish and other resources in a certain sea area or bay until all the resources in this area are exhausted, and then all of them will be transferred to other bays.

After the restoration of various resources and ecological environment in the former Bay, it will move back to continue this cycle. The captains who often sail in the Straits of Malacca call them "Saliteers" (meaning pirates), and even their reputation is not as good as that of local pirates.
