Thailand: Panyi Muslim Fishing Village, Ao Phang Nga (Phangnga Bay) National Park, Phang Nga Province. Ko Panyi is a massive karst outcrop in the lee of which a prosperous Thai Muslim fishing village shelters from the South-West Monsoon. The unusual location of the stilted Muslim fishing village, together with the unexpected mosque and minaret, has provided the inhabitants of Ko Panyi with an unexpected and welcome additional source of income in the years since the advent of tourism. Although the island has become commercialised, the people are remarkably open and friendly.
