Spending a day in a village off the beaten paths in Borneo Malaysia

We met another friendly local who offered to show us around his village in Sarawak Malaysia. The lovely and unique village was near a small town called Mukah, in which we stopped for a night during our Borneo Malaysia road trip. It ended up being a super interesting and fun experience in this village!

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

    Hey brother Ken. How are you? Exploring Malaysia is always a delightful experience. Cheers and keep enjoying Malaysia.
  • @giannishen
    This is a very relaxing episode, those who dare to eat bugs must be brave. That big swing is so exciting thank you for sharing! 👍😃🙏
  • 3:45 That smells come from the rotting sago trunks. If it smells, chances are there are sago grubs in it! 😁 I find the sago grubs is becoming common now. He should have you guys try the kejumah/kenyumah/temilok. 😆 Maybe you might find it in your upcoming Indonesia travel. 8:45 Ah yes, chickens... I remember that case in France where the chicken named Maurice was sued for crowing loudly early in the morning. 🤣🤣🤣 In this region, I think chickens and their crowing are part and parcel of life. 9:10 Ken, ironwood is so strong even termite wouldn't go near. 9:23 Not just flooding but also high tides and king tides. 10:05 Those sago pearls are Melanau staples, same with 'linut' (known as ambuyat in Brunei and Sabah). The Melanau inhabit an area that is not suitable for paddy planting but the swampy and waterlog area has plenty of sago trees. The process of making those sago pearls is pretty tedious and time consuming... Very lucky to meet Benedict! Shout out to

    This type of video is the best, Ken. An adventure off the beaten path where tourists never visit. It's informative and knowledgeable and l learned so much about this Melanau tribe. Great content, amazing video and entertaining to watch. Thanks Ken.

  • @KennyK8
    Really great to see you always offer to pay the locals. I think it will help them a lot.
  • @marinaadlan8274

    Hi Ken 👋🏻 Steve , Ivana , Mike & GG hello there 👋🏻 really fun riding a motorbike and go 'jalan-jalan' around the village. Interesting story about the burial tomb really unique 👍 beautiful background of the river and landscapes.. whoaa not in a million years for me to eat the sago worm 😢 I could be traumatized 😅 love the fresh prawns and immediately cook with noodles hmm...made me hungry on the spot 🤣 hope you guys had a great time and as usual you always give some token in cash as your appreciation which is a very wise thing to do 👍👍 like always see you in the next Ken 👍🥰⭐️
  • @kakisport
    This is what I like about Ken. always going to the nook and cranny of places he visits. Not just the tourists spots. Maybe someday I will be able to visit Sarawak and Sabah. My sister is a teacher in Sabah
  • @chaw294
    That village looks quite similar to the village you, Steve and Ivana visited during your roadtrip to Perlis, right? The houses are built on silts and beautifully painted with different colours. Yeah, during high tide, the sea water can flow to/flood the village, that's why the houses there are built on silts. Oh gosh, those sago worms scare me. By looking at them already give me an eeeeerie feeling, what more to eat them.... lt's a big NO for me 😂🤣😂🤣 Shout-out to Benedict for showing you around. Thanks for the kampung tour, Ken...enjoyed following you around.
  • @BreakawayBites
    Learning and experiencing the life of the locals in this part of the world, and a place where you don't get to see many foreigners venturing.... Those worms reminded me of a similar experience I saw in South Korea.. As always, stay safe, be vigilant and take care mate.....
