The Moken (aka Salone, sea gypsies) are a seminomadic seafaring culture that live off the fruits of the Andaman Sea. They have their own ways and religion and live for 8 months or so in boats, returning to land during the rainy season.
Here is a Moken village on Bocho island. Nomads living in a village is rather contradictory—they are still seen living in their boats among the islands but through some series of events unknown to me, involving a combination of population and the government, some live in this spartan village headed by a buddhist monk/former army colonel.

It’s a big dry lake bed, made up of a vast flat “playa” of dried mud. During the winter when it’s cold, windy, and wet, the rocks slide around on the surface. No one has seen them move, but the tracks they leave behind are left in the dry mud to see in better weather. Each rock takes a different course across the playa, some straight, some curvy, some zigzag. Most of the sliding rocks are on the southern end of the playa.
