Myanmar, 2005 Photograph by Nicolas Reynard The space between the
rumpled sail and the boom on a hand-built kabang boat reveals a slice
of sea and skyR12;and other members of the flotillaR12;in Myanmar&#039s
Mergui Archipelago in the Andaman Sea.

Some of the archipelago's 800 islands are home to the Moken, a nomadic
Austronesian people that live aboard their boats nine months of the
year, surviving off the waters surrounding Myanmar and Thailand.
