Finally : Kampung Air

My trip around the Kampung Air was not planned and more of a spur of the moment kind of thing. After arriving in Bandar Seri Begawan we parked our car near the Secretariat Building and walked towards the waterfront.

When I was there a year ago, I only marvelled at the number of boats crossing through the waters. So for this trip I decided to take a better look at Brunei's famous Kampung Air.

My friend and I took a boat ride which goes around the Kampung Air. We were only charged 20 brunei dollars per boat for around 20-30minutes ride around the village. We were lucky that our guide was kind enough to point out interesting facts on Kampung Air.

Brunei's Kampung Air is not like the one in Kota Kinabalu Sabah. There are like more than 3 schools and mosques built by the government for the villagers. On top of that the village too is equipped with its own fire brigade and various petrol station.

A note of advice to future visitor, be sure to arrive earlier if you want to pay a visit to the Kampung Air's Visitor's Center and do ask your guide about the village's famous Nasi Katok.
