"Kampung Budaya Sarawak: A Malaysian’s Honest Take! 🌿🏕️"Expectation: "Wah, like Disneyland but with longhouses!"Reality: More "living museum" than theme park—authentic but sleepy. Loved the cultural shows (ngajat dances = fire!), but some exhibits felt slightly "abandoned zoo vibes". The longhouse stay was cool (mosquitoes included for free 🦟), and the kek lapis workshop saved the trip. Pro tip: Go during the Rainforest World Music Festival—that’s when this place truly hidup! Verdict? "Wor

I had a fabulous trek into Bako National Park, even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate. It was raining when I arrived, so unfortunately I didn’t get to see much wildlife along the trails but just as I made my way back to the base, I was lucky enough to spot one of Bako’s famous residents: the bearded pig!Getting there was an adventure in itself. I took a cab straight from my hotel to the Bako terminal to register. I felt super lucky because, as I arrived, I found a group of friendly strangers who had one slot left on their boat. Sharing with them saved me a lot of money, I only paid RM 40 for the round-trip boat ride instead of having to pay the full RM 200 if you don’t find anyone to share with. So if you’re planning to go solo, try to team up with other travelers at the terminal, it’s a great way to save some ringgit and meet new people!Once I got there, the rain had just stopped, so I decided to hike up Telok Pandan Besar and Telok Pandan Kecil. The first part of the trail was quite challenging, with steep slopes that really gave my legs a workout. But the views and the sense of adventure made it totally worth it.If you ever come to Kuching, I definitely recommend setting aside a day for Bako National Park. It’s such a unique place — you’ll feel like you’re stepping into another world of dense jungle, hidden beaches, and the chance to spot amazing wildlife.

Thank you, Damai Beach resort for a lovely few days.Wish we had longer there,Yes, a few things need fixing up, but did not bother us.The room was lovely, very spacious ,clean, and the bed was very comfy.The food was good, plenty of choice.The staff was lovely and friendly,All ways had a smile for us.Yes, there is rules, but after reading them, I could understand why they have them , none of them I would do while on holiday so no worries there.Would definitely recommend this hotel.
