PHUKET: Sea gypsies living in the Klong Tha Jeen area on the east side of Phuket Town have been given more than four rai of state land to live on under a government pilot project to ensure the once-sea-faring indigenous people now have a place to call home.

 

The news was announced at the unveiling of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Phuket City Municipality offices in Phuket Town yesterday (Nov 6).

 

The main signatories to the MoU include the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE).
