- My first time in rural Borneo Malaysia was full with surprises
First road trip video ➡ • We Started A Road Trip...
The goal of the Borneo Malaysia road trip was to also explore rural parts of the Sarawak state. So, lets go to places where the usual tourists don’t end up. Rural Borneo Malaysia really surprised me in a positive way…

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.

I'll help you translate what the scared lady said.
10:50 - Siapa Tu? = Who's there?
11:03 - Saya Takut = I am scared.
12:15 - Kau Penyamun ka? = Are you bandits?
12:20 - Haa, tau pun cakap Melayu = You can speak Malay
12:28 - Owh, Jauh = That's very far.
12:35 - Saya ingat kamu penyamun = I thought you're bandits.
12:43 - Tak boleh = Cannot
12:48 - Bye
Love how you guys make the locals happy by offering to pay more money than they want! We're from UK and travelling to Malaysia in a couple of weeks for 54 days! We find your videos so inspiring and fun to watch! Keep up the good work!
The sarawak is a wonderful place ...n thank u for introducing our homeland to the world..welcome to sarawak..sir
You will find more traditional Iban longhouse along the Rajang River from Sibu to Kapit. Also you can find the longest Kayan longhouse at Sg. Asap e.g. Uma Belor Homestay
Ken reaction trying out sugar cane for the first time : priceless✨
😄😄
He looks like a baby chewing on Farley's Rusk
@@KenAbroad they tricked u.
The right way, use a knife to strip the tough surface.
Cut the sift inside into sticks. Chew the stick to get the sweet juice out. It's a treat for us kids long ago.
They asked Ken to eat from inside. U can peels off the skin using teeth.
During my younger years, l ate sugarcane just like Mike did..no knife, used one's strong teeth to peel off the skin, then bit, chewed and sucked the juice...😄
@ 9:00 I strongly advise that you guys don't roam around in the jungle or even a plantation like that, especially without a local to accompany you, not primarily because of some misunderstanding that you may have like what you had there with the terrified lady, but more because there had been cases where someone got shot by someone else (someone else being own friend, and even own husband, true story, not made up!) because the someone was thought to be a wild animal moving about behind the trees and bushes, like a wild boar 🐗 etc. So stay safe guys!
Hope they read this. This is so terrifiying
real incidences indeed! take care, guys!
Strongly agree with you and we don't do that if we were in their country.
I remember going to a long house for a healthcare service where we went there for a month & provides health consultations for the people living there. It was the best experience I had in my life. Some of the best & friendliest people I've ever met.
Hello and good evening Ken and all. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
Ooooooooooooooooooo Ha!!!
Have a nice weekend chaw 😊
This is a really good vlog. I never knew they still keep the skulls until now. That's mind blowing.
Back then, the more skulls you kept in a longhouse, the more respect you earn. They still keeping it as part of ritual, one of it is for Gawai, a harvest festival..
We still keep 5 in our longhouse (paternal). There used to be more but they were either given a traditional burial or given to the museum. Some longhouses certainly still have them.
awesome guys! You guys are really gentleman. Bargain up and made the old lady happy ,respect
Hope you guys can visit Org Ulu long house while you are in Miri later.If you visit Mulu National Park you will find Org Ulu longhouses along the river nearby that National Park.You can ask the tourist guide to bring you to visit the long house.Org Ulu is one of Sarawak native like Iban and Bidayuh.The food and culture is a bit different from Iban and Bidayuh but we are all Sarawak Native.You can find Org Ulu Long houses along Baram river in Miri division as well.Org Ulu is consist of ethnic from Kenyah,Kayan,kelabit,Penan,Lumbawang and Bisaya tribe.You can travel by 4W D or long boat to reach Org Ulu longhouses but nowadays most of them are using 4WD.
Ken for your information sarawak black pepper is the best in the world many countries import for their supplies
I found out Sarawak pepper is top quality when I worked at an international trading co. for a couple of years.
yes, Sarawak pepper is the best!
Am a bit late, but I made it here. Keep safe guys.
She said, 'Siapa itu? (Who is that?).
' Saya takut' (I'm afraid).

0:50 This little grocery reminds me when I was on audit trip at oil palm estates and logging camp in Bintulu. They have squatters in the middle of the estate/camp with offices, stores, canteen, grocery etc.
If in Sabah, the beer selling is rm10.00 for 3 cans. I mean used to be that price, not sure now. That is why, it is called "sepuluh tiga" 😃
Sarawak tiga sepuluh🤭
This is a Bidayuh Village at Serian Area, Kuching. The longest n Famous Bidayuh long house is Benuk longhouse,22 miles drive from Kuching City 🤗
Ivana understands Malay as far as I know
nice video once again Ken,I would have loved to try that beer you bought.So what is your next destination Ken? Greets from Phuket,Till
At last…….tiada masalah!
Wife for today. Hillarious!!!
Ken... She said siapa tu?... Means who is that?... So my advice is that you bring a local from kampung to avoid misunderstand... Love ya content Ken...
nice trio gais...what a wonderful village...
Omg..ken i want to see you and your friend drink beer ..please make video 😄
siapa itu means who are you,the thing is people at the boarder area always worried if they encounter illegal boarder crossing might bring some illegal item
Malaysia Tourism Board, what say u??? 🤬
Bro, Tq promoting Malaysia to the world.
Thank you very much
✨⭐EXCITED⭐✨
Kuhum Mawang village.
Happy Birthday Ivana
19:10 Ken getting nervous thinking that he might be the next one inside that skull cage 😂
Beautiful kampung life
dont drink and drive. XD
that place looks peaceful.
mix beer with redbull guys!! trust....its a malaysian thing 😁😊👍😎
Broo, please try Cap Apek, Langkau in Sarawak
Nice
First!!! 💝💝💝🌹🌹🌹🐱🐱🐱
what's the kampung name? kuhumawa?
Pls don't drink to mush of local distilled alcohol some contain methanol it very posion you get killed no time . Sri Lanka lot happening. Every time go to good brands.
Beer is cheap in east Malaysia
Are you German
You have to peel of The hard husk with your teeth and then chew on The fire to sqeeze out The juice. Its a sugar cane
Yes, use a knife of
R penknife to cut down the outer layer then cut the inner flesh downwards too. You will never taste the sweet juice from the outside! too
The Kampunbg (village) is clean but the Dogs make its dirty
Why are you with the arrogant American?
He is not American. He is Romanian. Yes not as friendly as Greg and Jumi or Travelgrammers.
Canadian
Hahaha 'Sapa tu?' means Who's that?
Happy birthday to Ivana!
That rattan bag looks so exquisite, I like it.
As a reminder, sugar cane is easier to bite sideways, and not all varieties can be eaten directly, some are made of sugar!
The village looks so pristine and the people are friendly, thanks for sharing! 👍😀👏
Thanks so much for the birthday wish🙏
@@JetLagWarriors You are most welcome, thanks to you too, you are very nice, take care！👍😃🙏
That rattan bag is nice and cute, skillfully made by that elderly aunty. Shout-out to Steve by paying her extra even though she said it's RM80. Great experience with the rice wine and flower wine. Love the way they cheer...Oooooooooooooo Ha 🤓
Another great video with so much information and knowledge. Thanks Ken for taking us along the journey again.
Yeah, weather is damn hot and humid too over here in Peninsula Malaysia. Do drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Awesome adventure with Steve to that "jungle" where there are sugar cane plants and young oil palm trees. That local lady is scared of you guys, thinking you both are bandits/robbers. Words used by her "takut" = scare, "penyamun" = bandit, "tak boleh" = cannot...
Anyway, there's a wave from her finally. 😂
I recommend you go to kampung Sapit. A village above clouds. There is a Malindo 144 peak...very nice view up there. Btw, the lady is asking 'who are you...I'm afraid'...maybe she thought you guys foreigners who crossing the border illegally...the village is near the border anyway...hahaha
Not sure its a good idea walking through land when you do not know who owns it, someone may try to protect it from you. The girl was scared. I think the Tuak you tried is a commercial product, traditional Tuak would not be quite so clear. It is very good though. The Anna Rais Bidayu longhouse is a more touristy type of longhouse. Longhouses are usually rated or described by the number of doors. A visit to a real longhouse needs the permission of the head man, we had a 1 hour longboat ride and a walk through the rainforest, when we visited an Iban longhouse. You need to take gifts for the people, like cigarettesfor the adults and sweets for the children. We have done that in the past, fired the poison blowpipe and the short bow. It was very special.
The little carrier made of rattan is nice and neat . Good buy and make the old lady happy 😊
The headhunters basically love to hunt warriors... Jetlag Warriors would be a good bounty... 😜😜🤣🤣🤣
None. But don't upset the locals in the rest of the Borneo island. You know already Borneo island is divided into 3 different countries.
Ken: It's Camel beer. Steve: Let's drink it! Hahaha. You would have gotten the same response if it had been Lizard Beer. Steve is game for anything
😂😂😂Cheers!
Ken,please come to Sibu,Sarawak from 18-23 July to join and do the vlog during the Sibu Borneo Cultural Festival 2022.🙏🙏🙏🙏📹📸
Wow that's really nice. Every look so amazing around there. Thanks for taking us with you everywhere. Enjoy guys and stay safe!
Relax Ken, pretty sure the Iban dont head hunt no more 😂😂
Almost every village has a small grocery shop to cater for the villagers' needs. That is a valuable traditional bag. We call the big one- Juah and the smaller one -Lumok. I being a bidayuh tribe only has one as a souvenir from my late grandmother. Only the older generations like that old grandmother knows how to make it so please keep it properly as it is a treasure. Also hard to find in any souvenir shops.
In Sarawak there are still a lot of longhouses along the pan borneo highway. The ibans still live in longhouses. Wow you also bought some tuak.
the basket is 80 ringgit. The hospitality is priceless
Just now I went to the stall with the uncle selling interesting oils and mentioned how you showed him in the video. He remembered. So I will be buying a massage oil from him as well tomorrow
Hai ken..if all of you reach bintulu, and if you want to see hornbill closer about 2 meter close..just go tu Taman Tumbina Bintulu..its a zoo, a small zoo..there you will be able to see protected animals in sarawak…especially hornbill…

Ken your vlog so special 👏👏 i give 5⭐⭐⭐⭐🌬⭐
You can now proudly say that you're probably the first ever German in rural Borneo 😂 even I myself as a Malaysian have never been to Borneo Malaysia before
Happy Birthday to Irvana, all the best. That village was impressive Ken and say, how was that Camel Beer?
Thanks for the birthday wish🙏
Love this vlog Ken. Please keep safe, no wandering off in the jungle boys!!
my village kampung kuhum mawang 😁
Interesting rural 😍place
When you are in Bintulu, do visit Tanjung Batu beach especially on weekends, the atmosphere is very lively. Not fogetting Bintulu old airport & waterfront too. Have a safe & pleasant road trip🙏🏻
By the way, if you wanna see longest longhouse, you can go to Uma Belor Leo Dian Kayan longhouse, Sg Asap.
Say ' minum ' then she knows ... U say drink, she might not know ... Need to increase your Malay vocabs for simple word like ' minum ' etc ...
Exactly, previously he came to MY and stayed for quite some time but never bothered to learn more, just the simple Malay words for every day use. I suggest he look up Google or TH-cam and learn.
Have fun traversing Sarawak and travel safe Ken. Its a beautiful and amazing country.
if you all could spend 1 month at each division.. you can find alot more good spot for your channel, alot place to discover that you might miss..
You can find long house in the Indonesian part of Borneo/Kalimantan. It's the traditional house of the Dayak people.
Doubt you can find any. It's more like the modern terraced houses. Or wooden stilt house by itself.
@@switchback4312 I'm sure you can find the authentic one if you go far deeper into the central Borneo/Kalimantan.
That girl screaming..saya takut means I'm scare..maybe see u guys are stranger..take care guys
Part of the experience, getting lost in the middle of nowhere.... "Beer Plus"... Steve the joker.... ...And yup, Exploring long Houses & villages. Nice gesture to buy a nice handmade container, no doubt the money will help the local community. Stay safe & watch out for another. Cheers!!
After Pandemik impact...lot of visitors not to much come to sarawak land...sorry if all of u feel alone or not happy here..its hott season now in sarawak until month 9.
((if u want Jogett(dance happy)...GAWAI DAY is the day))
Real to try Tuak,,Ayam pansuh etc
😁
by the way big Welcome to SARAWAK land..or Borneo land.
Ken says "freakin hot" - very American, Steve-influence I think, made me laugh
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍❤️
Goodness me you walked into someones private land and the owner doesn't know why you are there. How frightening perhaps!
I know you don't deliberately be disrespectful......but!
Haha... Not the smartest.
If you can, try to bring someone...maybe one person from that kampung before roaming around. I mean, just for communication and safety purposes. Have a nice travel guys.
I agree about getting a local to accompany you. The lady was worried for her safety; that’s understandable.
Ken, you are a GREAT ambassador for Malaysia
did you guys just trespass people's properties? lucky you they no longer hunt heads lol
She said - Siapa tu? (Who are you?). Saya takut la (im afraid).
Maybe you guys scare her. 🤣
Happy that in the end she smiled and waived towards us 😊
@@KenAbroad dont worry, its all good. She sound like a friendly lady 👍
I'm sad that tropical rainforests have been destroyed to grow oil palms.
"Bargaining in reverse" is a great move. :) Love it!!!!!
The lady seem to have said “Siapa tu??”…..which means Who’s there??
Ahh..tq for dropping on my uncle village...kuhom 🤗
You should probably stop trespassing into other yards… quite disrespectful
Happy birthday to you ivana
Great Vlogg Ken! Thank you for uploading this and appreciate the difficulties you experience in uploading it. Worth it definitely👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Usually we call it hundred plus not one hundred plus
Great video as always. Thank you Ken.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
shouldnt drink and drive ! XD
the lady working in the orchard say saya takut which means im afraid and then she also said a word penyamun which means robber or crook. so she is afraid of being robbed in the middle of nowhere😆
Long time ago 'penyamun' used to kidnap and cut people head for the foundation of bridges and buildings.... Village people are very scared of 'penyamun'
Although they are nice people, don’t take advantage and go roaming private lands
Sapa tu ? = Who is that?
