Mu Ko Lanta National Park

This guide to Mu Ko Lanta National Park in Krabi follows the Urak Lawoi sea-gypsy community who called this cluster of islands home for centuries before Thailand declared it a park in 1990. You'll hear about their twice-yearly boat ceremony, led by an elder called the to mor, and the music, offerings and confessions that go into it. Along the way it questions something as simple as how many islands actually make up the park.
