Another awesome video! Bateq Jungle Hut is a community-based eco-tourism initiative spearheaded by BirdGroup Taman Negara (BGTN) with some fundings by Ministry of Tourism & Culture (Pahang Office by Dato' Haji Idros Yahya) and supported by Bateq tribe as well as local players. This is for the benefit of the Bateq community themselves; at last they have their own "mini resort" and the Bateq youths are involved directly in day-to-day activities and operations in the Jungle Hut. It was built up few hundred metres away from the original settlement in order to give the Bateq families privacy they deserve. Jenut Holidays as a strategic partner of BGTN has produced a promo video at ruclips.net/video/IOA_UneqtSw/видео.html Thank you Steve and Ivana for having a video in a different perspective! You guys rock!
Thanks @Jenut TN for showing us around Taman Negara. Your passion to preserve the rainforest so we can all enjoy it for generations is admirable. That includes helping the Bateq community thrive and survive in this ever changing modern world, while also helping them preserve their way of life in the jungle. Thank you again.
Did you guys managed to do a homestay at a Penan longhouse when you guys traveled through Sarawak back then? 😄 Steve and Ivana should come over to Sarawak. 😆 This place is nice but not sure if they have a homestay though... www.pressreader.com/malaysia/the-star-malaysia-star2/20190316/281479277741373
Steve, Ivana... not sure if they are still nomadic but some of the Penans of Sarawak are still nomadic. The State government is working in assisting them to settle down instead of roaming the forest as hunter-gatherer. At the moment... there are probably around 400 of them who still live a nomadic life. The Penans are also great at making the blowpipe from ironwood ("belian"/Eusideroxylon zwageri). They are a very gentle people - and proud to be Penans.
Im orang asli from Temiar tribe... I hope u guys enjoy exploring around those villages... My village is in Pos Balar which in Gua musang kelantan but I've been living in cities since my school day... So sad now the jungle is being destroyed with palm plantation n others...
This Village headman Sena and the community is used to visitors and cameras, that specific village is a tourist attraction to Taman Negara. There are many other smaller villages further upstream undisturbed by tourism, which is part of my academic research.
What an experience.. I believe they can speak English because some of them went to school. I remember when I was a kid in Kuala lipis in 1980s I went to school with orang asli. We've separated class because standard 1 for normal malaysian is for 7 years old where orang asli was like most of them were teenagers. They are quite shy.but I admire their determination for knowledge.
@@JetLagWarriors yes definitely.. many orang asli are now educated and event went to university. Now, the history repeated as my son went to kindergarten with orang asli in Selangor. Although they were provided with single storey houses, I think by government, they still went into jungle and has their own built house in the jungle.. sometimes I can see orang asli came out from jungle and bring out Vege, etc in early morning
The Description " They were in Malaysia before the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and others came. " Guys, i am sorry but i need to correct some info here. The Malays in Peninsular was 'born' from Orang Asli Tribe. So which means, the Malay is the same stock or family with Orang Asli in the Austronesia family. The Orang Asli is also known as Proto-Malay (the inland people) is the original genes that makes the new clan which is the Malay which is known as Deutro-Malay or the Coastal Malay. To make Long story short, Malay and Orang Asli are one family. The Malays did not come to Peninsular like the Chinese and Indian (Which most of them came in the early 19th century brought by the British)
Steve, thats why the malays are called Bumiputera.. The son of the soil. Our dna shown that we are the descendent of org asal/ asli. Not research done by malays but by chinese researcher and west researcher. This refute those claim that we are pendatang like others.
it's called EVOLUTION. asli is an umbrella term for them all..because they still maintain the asli/original cultures. while modern malay culture kept evolving.
@@JetLagWarriors 'Orang Asli' refer to the community who maintain the way their ancestors live. Malay who lives like that can also be called 'orang asli'...but of course not many will like it. Around KL there are still few 'orang asli' communities, but most have adopted modern living. That fern are locally called 'pucuk paku' (which in english directly translate as 'nail shoot')
This is why i like your vlogs. You guys are inspirational and are willing to dive in deep into all the different cultures here in malaysia. It shows sincerity and willingness to learn and explore. All your videos are very knowledgeable even for a Malaysian like me. You guys actually did your research and are willing to try new stuff which is why you guys deserve all the new subscribers that you're getting everyday. Once again, good vlog and never have i missed out any ever since i started watching you guys. By far one of my favourite travel vloggers of all times ☺️❤️ Keep up the good work guys 👍🏻 The drone showed us a whole different perspective and experience that many of us have never seen before. Some Malaysians doesnt even believe that Malaysia could be this beautiful and yall proved us wrong. Thank you 🥺
The drone gives a very good view!! So jungle , and clean river. Kelantan river was that clean 40 yrs ago. Folks took bath in the river that time in Temangan.
We have few modern settlements for the orang asli nearby gombak ... not far from KL. But some of them prefer to live like their great grand parents near to mother nature ... we do have Professionals among them . Anyway it goes back to their prefernce and as Malaysians , we respect each other way of life .
This reminds me of the movie Medicine Man with Sean Connery. The village people opened up slowly to the female Dr. the tribe goes deeper into the jungle to get away from the Covid-19. I wouldn’t invite tourists there for awhile. These people are almost germ free and don’t get the illnesses we do. Think of John Lennons song imagine. Great vlog. Stay safe and healthy. I’ll be watching for the next one.
The name "orang Asli" or aboriginal people in English is a new invention. There's no such category before 1960. The name "orang Asli" is derived from British colonial category - "the aborigines" which the colonial administrator created to homogenising them. In actual fact there are numerous diverse tribes with distinct language and culture from each other within the "orang Asli" category. During the heyday of Malay Sultanate in Malay Peninsula before the arrival of colonial power, the so called "orang Asli" is known generally as "orang darat" (literally means land people) for those who are living in hinterland and "orang laut" (literally means sea people) for those "orang Asli" who are living by the sea. "Orang darat" provides jungle product for the Malay sultanate to trade at the port and "orang laut" provides expertise in sea navigation and also protection for Malay Sultanate from enemy attack through the sea. In fact without "orang Asli" most probably the Malay Sultanate won't survived because they provide a very crucial services to ensure the Malay Sultanate flourish through their expertise at sea and their resourceful expertise in getting the jungle products. But unfortunately after the coming of colonial power particularly the British who brought with them racial ideology, the fate of "orang asli" started to dwindled and slowly they are pushed to the periphery due to the introduction of capitalistic market economy which needs intensive labour to exploit the resources from the Malay peninsula. And these intensive labour is more easily available and cheaper by bringing migrant workers from China and India.
@@JetLagWarriors I'm just taking it from book written by historian Leonard Andaya, an American scholar based in Hawaii University who's an expert in the history of Malay Peninsula. You can check out his book entitled "Leaves of the Same Tree: Trade and Ethnicity in Straits of Malacca". Basically Malay and "orang Asli" are leaves from the same tree but the coming of colonial power particularly the British with their racial ideology changed the dynamics of relationship between Malay and the "orang Asli". British racial ideology brought the idea of separation between those who they considered as civilized and uncivilised. And of course at the top of the hierarchy of British's idea of civilization is the white European themselves and at the very bottom, you know who even though in the beginning Malays and "orang Asli" are leaves of the same tree. Check out the book for further information.
You are a very lucky traveller. Able to experience what most malaysians ourselves doesnt get. I will just follow through your video to experience the adventures So.... explore more Malaysia for us please. Thank you. Looking fwd to your video all the time.
damn this video make me appreciate my country more. good video and you guys are doing much better job in promoting our country than our mainstream tv. good job and thanks :)
Oh my god! What kind of video is this? like really? Really really.... wowww this is amazing!!! Steve & Ivana 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Guys you are amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tourism Malaysia please lah see this 👍🏻
MAD RESPECT to you!!! Wow… thank you for sharing with us this experience! Somehow watching it slows down the nonstop pursuit in the mind and just be. Thank you! Amazing…
The things with orang asli they are very tough. Their immunity is on different level compared to us. They are born in the jungle even without proper healthcare facility they survive. Yet our healthcare system are improving nowadays they also in provided with the vaccine. Funny things when is time for the health check up they will run into the jungle and the healthcare provider team will chase them. Such a bless experience for both of you ❤️
Wow! Amazing, right? Experiences like this are the reason we travel. When Sana told me he was born in the jungle without a doctor around I was speechless
good to see the chief in good health. me and my friends did met him a few years back. we were there camping not far from their settlement, led by a local guide who of course knew him well. there were 5 of us plus our guide. the chief is actually a cool guy and fun to talk with, atleast in bahasa language i guess. talking and smoking, the same way as u did steve 😆. we were there planning to hike to one of the cave's there. on the first night our guide wanted to pay the chief's a visit, so all 5 of us decided to join him as there weren't really anything we could do at our camp. when he knew our local guide came with some outsiders (us), the chief instantly calling some of his boys telling them to find some stuffs. he was really trying hard to treat us like some kind of special visitors. it wasn't a planned visit of course. and he showed us the same thing that he did to you guys (how to start a fire, which wasn't easy of course 😅, the poison prep, and of course the blow dart 🎯 test).. in the middle of the night. what a guy.
@@JetLagWarriors absolutely ⭐⭐⭐⭐. spending few days there in TN definitely one of the most unforgettable experience I've had as we were pretty much disconnected from the outside world.
Proud to see even those deep in jungle can still communicating in English.. Orang Asli - Original People Orang Utan - Jungle people Orang Kampung - Village people Orang Bandar - Town people.
We have PIkachu for dinner."....... Poor Fella!! You can imagine why Orang Asli has survived and thrive for centuries in the jungle...... .They live off the land....food, resources, spices, medicine..... All there from nature..... The river boat ride was WOW! ..............Thanks to you guys , creating awareness and sharing this experience....
Actually some of the org asli did/are going to the schools as arranged by the JHEOA (they're the department that are responsible for the org asli's well-being). Some of them even finished the secondary & tertiary education. I went to schools that have orang asli students. They excel in sports
Oooh my brother in law is org asli study in the university and has a career same goes to his siblings , engineer , doctor and teacher ... so there is nothing suprise actually ... we are in 2020 😁
Good job Steve! Suddenly I remember Tom Hanks in Cast Away. .. in the making-the-fire scene.😁 I notice, the leaves have to be really dry . Thank You Ivana for the info on Jenut's activity
This made me recalled my experience staying at Orang Asli village nearby Cameron Highlands in year 2011 for 3 nights. It was a program that me and my friends planned under university student club with the Pahang state government agencies. During that time, I stayed in a tent that located next to Orang Asli grave yard. Spooky. XD
😊 Orang asli . I am Senoi woman indigenous people from Malaysia . I,m like a house traditional so beautiful place harmony We cooking and eat a food indigenous .
im org asli of Malaysia.. im the people of jungle,. Nature of Planet Earth is our necessary.. But now people of world dont heard the planet earth cried..
From City Boy to Town Boy to Kampung Boy to Jungle Boy.. What an adventure to experience.. Which I must sadly state not all Malaysia born have experienced..
Wow...amazing video Ivana and Steve... In Perak my hometown...We have orang asli kampung but I was always afraid of them. Now watching your video.. so great ..thank you guys..
Good experience steve n fiona.... feel shame to my self, eventhough the life complete with utilities still sighing....they have no utilities but still happy...the important lesson that we can learn always grateful for what we have...😊
I really respect both of you .. even we msians ourselves are not willing or brave enough to spend a night at orang asli kampong .. but you did .. Steve and Ivana .. you both are real King and Queen of Jetlag Warriors .. excellent video .. love you 👍😊👍❤
Much respect for these communities🙏. Leave them and the jungle alone and they will still be around for thousands of years. Same cannot be said for us "civilized" people. And it's funny how we keep on going "we need to help them" and shove our way of life in their face...
Totally agree with you but sadly, many people are taking advantage of them. So providing education so they can at least read and write is important in our opinion so they can survive in this ever changing modern world. Sadly we all need to evolve and change to survive. It’s possible while still respecting their way of life. We heard that the orang asli don’t easily trust outsiders...they welcome only those they trust, and can reject others who they feel they cannot trust. It is up to them, not the others.
Good mirning Steve & Ivana. Such a lovely experience and adventurous itinerary you have. Before you are out of Pahang, get fresh air at Panorama Hill and magnificent view of Rainbow Waterfall (Sungai Lembing). Enjoy and Safe journey.
Yes, recommended to them already. With Cherating - Firefly tour, mangrove cruise, Pulau Ular snorkeling, turtle watching and releasing turtle hatchlings. The list goes on ruclips.net/video/qhDS9wlPZFE/видео.html
Wow! I learn alot from your always amazing educational videos , and also from the commentors. Good job! 👍👍👍Thank you all! Many many stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 🌟🌟 🌟..... For your videos 😉
Making fire, success!!! Steve, certified Jungle Boy! ha..ha. and I'm impress with Ivana's `sumpit' skill, she hit the leg!! How nice just 'living' freely in the forest like that...
@@JetLagWarriors your kind of Channel is the only option for people who is still 'traps' in the same boring daily routines aka Office work!! Thanks for 'taking' us along your journey! I've been loving it so far....
What an amazing experience stay with orang asli. Want to visit their village one day. Last night wait your video until 9pm..After saw your IG story about slow Internet connection so i went to sleep with a bit disappointment. Feels like not able to watch my favourite serial drama. Haha😅
Hi wow u basicly there for the experience.now i think you are ready for sabah and sarawak deep interior jungle many times more exotic and memorible living with the native.tku
Wow great natives can speak English! Learn something with them because they are more knowledgeable about the forest. It's fun to live in a fresh world!
Just found out about the bateq tribe few days ago and here you are haha. They’re being extinct and about less than 1700 left i believe. You both not just traveling but really explore and learn every new thing of the places you’ve been. Love you guys!
The reason why they ran away were because they are shy people and one simple tips to get close to the children are chocolates. Also, the chief is usually called Tok Batin/Tok and most of the time he will do the talking. It is the chief responsibility to take care of the guests unless if he needs to go hunting and the guests will be accompanied by his second trusted person.
Oh ok! We weren’t sure if we offended them. When we were leaving we made sure to really say thank you to everyone (in bateq language!) and make sure to be clear we were really grateful. What an experience!
Yes orang asli from Batek tribe.. I remembered them appeared on Jeremy Wade's River Monster Show when Jeremy is on the hunt of the monster fish 'Tapah'
8:55 Those arent bamboo, those are 'rotan' or rattan. Kids are quite familiar with rotan, my generation at least. Heh. Fun fact about the ipoh poison: In China, this plant is known as "arrow poison wood" and the poison is said to be so deadly that it has been described as "Seven Up Eight Down Nine Death" meaning that a victim can take no more than seven steps uphill, eight steps downhill or nine steps on level ground before dying. Some travellers' tales have it that the Upas tree is the most poisonous in the world, so that no one can reach the trunk before falling down dead. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiaris
I'm a Malaysian but I only met orang asli on less than five occasions all my life. 1. The Temiar people in Gua Musang (where we did our CSR) 2. My post graduate colleague. She is a Semai girl. 3. My current colleague is an Orang Asli from Gombak (not sure her tribe is) 🤭
I wonder from where did the head tribe learn his English since he stayed deep inside the jungle all his life. He spoke better English than a lot of villagers living close to cities in Malaysia.
Nice adventures, especially the blowpipe- great hunting tool. The chief has a title - tok batin. I think orang asli can adapt just like native americans or the Red indian in USA.
😮😮😮 I've been to that kg orang batek. I wouldn't be able to do what Ivana and Steve are doing. The villagers there are used to it, different story. But us... Men. Tough hearts you two.
We did our best! Those Bateq people are really something. They all seem to walk around like they are perfectly at ease... without a care in the world. Seems like village life is bliss to them. We were so happy to get to meet them
Thanks so much😊 The exact same shirt is not for sale but we do have other t-shirts for purchase. You can buy here: jetlagwarriors.com/shop/ Thank you in advance, and let us know if you have questions. E-mail: jetlagwarriors@gmail.com
Yeah.. how much we are depending on technology....that it already spoil us I cant imagine not to charge my batteries in 48 hours! Now that can be Scary.😉 But seriously, the experience you guys had at Batek Tribe, is priceless. JWL score👍
wow that's was other way to catch the pikachu😂....orang asli culture also awesome....i like to visit them... I'm malaysian an I'm not arrive yet to taman negara..
When i was study in college, we went fir a trip and i accidently took the offroad thru the orag asli village...haha...luckily found way out to the town...
Wow that's how you enjoy life at times comfortable or otherwise so learn at last.its fun n memorable for u both.Have fun n great times guys.sarawak Malaysia Borneo.
Orang asli generally shy and nervous around outsiders. When tourist or outsiders come to see their way of living, most would think that our government kinda not really helping them but the reality is they really happy living the way their ancestor did. My cousin teach orang asli children in her school. You must not be too strict or get angry at them because they are kinda sensitive and shy. Sometimes her student will go into jungle for months and skipping school.

good to see the chief in good health. me and my friends did met him a few years back. we were there camping not far from their settlement, led by a local guide who of course knew him well. there were 5 of us plus our guide. the chief is actually a cool guy and fun to talk with, atleast in bahasa language i guess. talking and smoking, the same way as u did steve 😆. we were there planning to hike to one of the cave's there. on the first night our guide wanted to pay the chief's a visit, so all 5 of us decided to join him as there weren't really anything we could do at our camp. when he knew our local guide came with some outsiders (us), the chief instantly calling some of his boys telling them to find some stuffs. he was really trying hard to treat us like some kind of special visitors. it wasn't a planned visit of course. and he showed us the same thing that he did to you guys (how to start a fire, which wasn't easy of course 😅, the poison prep, and of course the blow dart 🎯 test).. in the middle of the night. what a guy.
Wow! That sounds like an amazing and unforgettable adventure for you guys. Wow! Thanks for sharing your story.
@@JetLagWarriors absolutely ⭐⭐⭐⭐. spending few days there in TN definitely one of the most unforgettable experience I've had as we were pretty much disconnected from the outside world.
"Eat healthy, lots of exercise" buddy lighting up a cigarette...lol
Lololollllll , just noticed that now too. Too funny
Organic cigarette i guess.. lol
Gosh, pls don't let my dad know🤫
lol i was going to say that hahhahahaha!!!!
Thank You For Coming To Taman Negara
Wow ! They walked from Africa miillion years ago and still the same look !! Really amazing !
wow! Would love to learn more about their history.
Excellent coverage! I enjoyed your vlog. Keep it up! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Respect to both of you who can live in the jungle with them. Not all like you.. Thank you for showing us the beautiful Malaysia.
Thank you.
Proud to see even those deep in jungle can still communicating in English..
Orang Asli - Original People
Orang Utan - Jungle people
Orang Kampung - Village people
Orang Bandar - Town people.
yeah I think some went to school
You are so good with the blowpipe that’s you qualify as an honorary member of the tribe. Well done. I have enjoyed all your videos.
thank you😊
We have PIkachu for dinner."....... Poor Fella!!
You can imagine why Orang Asli has survived and thrive for centuries in the jungle...... .They live off the land....food, resources, spices, medicine..... All there from nature..... The river boat ride was WOW! ..............Thanks to you guys , creating awareness and sharing this experience....
Woo! Thanks for watching. Videos like this one are eye opening to make! Wish we weren’t so nervous 🤪
I wish I could have done this during my younger days. My late husband was from Pahang. We have been to Taman Negara twice.
Oh you can also visit for a day trip!
Steve : how old are you?
........long silent.....
Tok batin : 52! Bla bla bla in english...
Whaaaaaaat?! That was f***in incredible!!!!
that was awesome! We had an interesting conversation going on there.
I'm surprised that Mr Senah can speak english. Not bad at all for orang asli..
we were also surprised! We asked him how he learn to speak English but there were still some miss communication so we didn’t get an answer lol.
it's 2020 not 1620!!!
Actually some of the org asli did/are going to the schools as arranged by the JHEOA (they're the department that are responsible for the org asli's well-being). Some of them even finished the secondary & tertiary education. I went to schools that have orang asli students. They excel in sports
Huda Halim thanks for the info!
Oooh my brother in law is org asli study in the university and has a career same goes to his siblings , engineer , doctor and teacher ... so there is nothing suprise actually ... we are in 2020 😁
2nd!!🙃❤❤ lots of love from Ireland 🇮🇪
stay safe out there!
Good job Steve! Suddenly I remember Tom Hanks in Cast Away. .. in the making-the-fire scene.😁
I notice, the leaves have to be really dry .
Thank You Ivana for the info on Jenut's activity
Thanks so much!
Oh! Cast Away...such a great movie👍
JetLag Warriors you beat cast away, hands down!👍🏼👍🏼
Zul Ahmad haha thank you😊
This by far is the best I've seen of Malaysia from the both of you. Amazing and unique experience, would definitely like to try this experience 😀
By the way, I love that you guys share this experience. Oila!❤️
Hah! Oila for watching! ❤️
This made me recalled my experience staying at Orang Asli village nearby Cameron Highlands in year 2011 for 3 nights. It was a program that me and my friends planned under university student club with the Pahang state government agencies.
During that time, I stayed in a tent that located next to Orang Asli grave yard. Spooky. XD
Whoa!!! Cool story lol
😊 Orang asli .
I am Senoi woman indigenous people from Malaysia .
I,m like a house traditional so beautiful place harmony
We cooking and eat a food indigenous .
such a great experience🔥🔥, I think many malaysian don't know about that village and tribal😅😅.. thank for sharing ❤️🔥
Thanks for watching ❤️
This must have been a unique experience staying with d orang asli.
Yes! Very memorable and thought provoking 😁
I wonder what your experience would be if u get a chance to stay with d bajau laut, sea gypsies, when u visit Sabah one day.
They live in a paradise! Will put this on my bucket-list! You guys are such an inspiration!
They do! So close to nature🌿
Thank you😊
Nice, peaceful, tranquil environment. No hustle bustle of a city.
Exactly. Laid back, to the extreme
@@JetLagWarriors 😀 Fresh clean air.
Lot of things to learn from orang asli right...amazing
They are very knowledgable about the jungle and nature.
Welcome to my Country Amazing Vilog
👏👏👏!wow!, you did it ,good job,Steve. You guys so easily adapt even though in the so remote environments,u inspired me.
Thank you!😊
im org asli of Malaysia.. im the people of jungle,. Nature of Planet Earth is our necessary.. But now people of world dont heard the planet earth cried..
Love d greeneries around d orang asli settlement. A sight for d sore eyes.
Beautiful, right? What a different lifestyle than ours. Unbelievable almost
@@JetLagWarriors Yes, I can see it's beautiful. A very simple life.
From City Boy to Town Boy to Kampung Boy to Jungle Boy.. What an adventure to experience.. Which I must sadly state not all Malaysia born have experienced..
Haha! Yes! Many versions of Steve😜
@@JetLagWarriors Next... TARZAN... probably can swing from tree to tree!! Lol. Better than the canopy walk.
You guys are truly awesome! You really distinguished yourselves from the pack with this one! Keep it coming 👍🏼
Hey, thanks! There’s so many interesting things to do in Malaysia! We are loving it
Awesome experience. Amazing video!!!
thank you!
Wow...amazing video Ivana and Steve... In Perak my hometown...We have orang asli kampung but I was always afraid of them. Now watching your video.. so great ..thank you guys..
They are very shy and don’t usually trust outsiders. But they are actually nice people.
Love the way Ivana speak, very clear, calm and soothing. 👍👍👍
The irony of delivering the 'eating healthy' line while smoking 😁 You guys are eating healthier than Ken
And monkeys are in their diet.
Good experience steve n fiona.... feel shame to my self, eventhough the life complete with utilities still sighing....they have no utilities but still happy...the important lesson that we can learn always grateful for what we have...😊
yes! completely agree 100%!
Wow so interesting to know orang asli culture and their style life.
I really respect both of you .. even we msians ourselves are not willing or brave enough to spend a night at orang asli kampong .. but you did .. Steve and Ivana .. you both are real King and Queen of Jetlag Warriors .. excellent video .. love you 👍😊👍❤
Much respect for these communities🙏. Leave them and the jungle alone and they will still be around for thousands of years. Same cannot be said for us "civilized" people. And it's funny how we keep on going "we need to help them" and shove our way of life in their face...
Totally agree with you but sadly, many people are taking advantage of them. So providing education so they can at least read and write is important in our opinion so they can survive in this ever changing modern world. Sadly we all need to evolve and change to survive. It’s possible while still respecting their way of life. We heard that the orang asli don’t easily trust outsiders...they welcome only those they trust, and can reject others who they feel they cannot trust. It is up to them, not the others.
Good mirning Steve & Ivana.
Such a lovely experience and adventurous itinerary you have.
Before you are out of Pahang, get fresh air at Panorama Hill and magnificent view of Rainbow Waterfall (Sungai Lembing).
Enjoy and Safe journey.
Yes, recommended to them already. With Cherating - Firefly tour, mangrove cruise, Pulau Ular snorkeling, turtle watching and releasing turtle hatchlings. The list goes on ruclips.net/video/qhDS9wlPZFE/видео.html
Thank you for the suggestions!
Wow! I learn alot from your always amazing educational videos , and also from the commentors. Good job! 👍👍👍Thank you all!
Many many stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 🌟🌟 🌟..... For your videos 😉
Wow! Thanks for the many many stars😁
Wow! Super interesting experience in the jungle with real org asli. Your video contents are getting better and addictive to us..👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thank you!
Making fire, success!!! Steve, certified Jungle Boy! ha..ha. and I'm impress with Ivana's `sumpit' skill, she hit the leg!!
How nice just 'living' freely in the forest like that...
Yeah wow! It’s really great to learn about experience lifestyles that are so different from our own. This is the reason we love travel! Just great
@@JetLagWarriors your kind of Channel is the only option for people who is still 'traps' in the same boring daily routines aka Office work!! Thanks for 'taking' us along your journey! I've been loving it so far....
What an amazing experience stay with orang asli. Want to visit their village one day. Last night wait your video until 9pm..After saw your IG story about slow Internet connection so i went to sleep with a bit disappointment. Feels like not able to watch my favourite serial drama. Haha😅
haha thank you. You are the best for waiting for our new video👍
Unbelievable, marking fire and using a blow gun.....bucket list stuff...whole vid amazing. 5 star👍👍👍👍👍
unforgettable experience 5⭐️
Such a nice experience for me to see this kind of Vlog 😍 I enjoyed at the same time learned a lot new things. Keep it up Steve & Ivana 👏
Thank you. Glad you enjoy the video😊
@@JetLagWarriors ❤
You 2 have travelled till the ends of the earth!!!!!💪
haha not yet!😁
Hi wow u basicly there for the experience.now i think you are ready for sabah and sarawak deep interior jungle many times more exotic and memorible living with the native.tku
Wooo! Borneo would be a dream for us, but COVID is making everything more difficult. Hopefully we can get there soon ❤️
Next stop..Sarawak long house..awesome video
hope we can get to Sarawak!
Wow great natives can speak English! Learn something with them because they are more knowledgeable about the forest. It's fun to live in a fresh world!
True! We learned a lot from this experience.
Just found out about the bateq tribe few days ago and here you are haha. They’re being extinct and about less than 1700 left i believe. You both not just traveling but really explore and learn every new thing of the places you’ve been. Love you guys!
Right! We were told around 1500 or 1600. And yes! Learning and exploring is the reason we travel. Thanks for watching❤️
It was interesting to light a fire..Awesome. After both of you explore West Malaysia. Do come to Sabah ..more to explore natural.beauty ♥️
We reaaaaaalllllyyyy want to get to east Malaysia if we can. Still looking into it
Covid 19 is still spiking in Sabah..Wait till everything is clear
The reason why they ran away were because they are shy people and one simple tips to get close to the children are chocolates. Also, the chief is usually called Tok Batin/Tok and most of the time he will do the talking. It is the chief responsibility to take care of the guests unless if he needs to go hunting and the guests will be accompanied by his second trusted person.
Oh ok! We weren’t sure if we offended them. When we were leaving we made sure to really say thank you to everyone (in bateq language!) and make sure to be clear we were really grateful. What an experience!
Rare experience, valuable one.
Yes orang asli from Batek tribe..
I remembered them appeared on Jeremy Wade's River Monster Show when Jeremy is on the hunt of the monster fish 'Tapah'
Hah! We actually watched this recently on RUclips, as someone told us the same thing
@@JetLagWarriors nice👍
Thanks for sharing this Steve ..Ivana.
Have to admit could be the best experience to try.
Thank you. Glad you enjoy the video.
8:55 Those arent bamboo, those are 'rotan' or rattan. Kids are quite familiar with rotan, my generation at least. Heh.
Fun fact about the ipoh poison: In China, this plant is known as "arrow poison wood" and the poison is said to be so deadly that it has been described as "Seven Up Eight Down Nine Death" meaning that a victim can take no more than seven steps uphill, eight steps downhill or nine steps on level ground before dying. Some travellers' tales have it that the Upas tree is the most poisonous in the world, so that no one can reach the trunk before falling down dead.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiaris
Whoa! Seven up eight down nine death 😳😳😳!! Great comment
@@JetLagWarriors and you go poking your fingers at the tip of the dart. 😆
I'm a Malaysian but I only met orang asli on less than five occasions all my life.
1. The Temiar people in Gua Musang (where we did our CSR)
2. My post graduate colleague. She is a Semai girl.
3. My current colleague is an Orang Asli from Gombak (not sure her tribe is) 🤭
Wow! Interesting stuff
that good that orang asli can understand and speaking basic English...nice...
Amazing, right!? He was even cracking jokes with us lol
I wonder from where did the head tribe learn his English since he stayed deep inside the jungle all his life. He spoke better English than a lot of villagers living close to cities in Malaysia.
I think he went to school.
Malaysia government always make sure they can be educated. Some of the teacher had to take a rugged more then an hour ride to orang asli school.
1st
Best experience💪✌️
wohooo!🙌🙌🙌
21:52... I like it how the chief walks thru the vegetation while you stumble thru it...
😂😂😂first time jungle boy here...
Interesting! As Malaysians we haven't been there but definitely want to experience it too ☺️
Yes, we really recommend this experience! It’s really eye opening
Nice adventures, especially the blowpipe- great hunting tool. The chief has a title - tok batin.
I think orang asli can adapt just like native americans or the Red indian in USA.
What a great adventure! And the blowpipe, WOW! All make from jungle stuff - even the poison! Wow
another amazing video guys...as a local, i'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard about the tribe
Hey, thanks for watching!
😮😮😮 I've been to that kg orang batek. I wouldn't be able to do what Ivana and Steve are doing. The villagers there are used to it, different story. But us... Men. Tough hearts you two.
We did our best! Those Bateq people are really something. They all seem to walk around like they are perfectly at ease... without a care in the world. Seems like village life is bliss to them. We were so happy to get to meet them
Last time i brought along some can foods or cloths for them...orang asli are very nice people.
yeah we brought some food as well. They were very nice.
@@JetLagWarriors terbaik👍
Great

Yeah.. how much we are depending on technology....that it already spoil us
I cant imagine not to charge my batteries in 48 hours! Now that can be Scary.😉
But seriously, the experience you guys had at Batek Tribe, is priceless.
JWL score👍
oh yeah, it was an unforgettable experience. They live such a simple life. And we on the other hand, wouldn’t know what to do without our cellphones.
2 words... Amazing video! I enjoy it very much.. (another 5 words..🤭)
Thanks for watching 🤪
WOW! simply wow! you guys never cease to amaze us ! Keep up the good work.
Awesome experience! Thank u for sharing Steve & Ivana 😊😎
Thanks for watching! Awesome experience is right
wow that's was other way to catch the pikachu😂....orang asli culture also awesome....i like to visit them... I'm malaysian an I'm not arrive yet to taman negara..
Lol! The other way to catch the pikachu 😂😂😂 . Definitely recommend checking out taman negara, and definitely x2 the orang asli 😁
When i was study in college, we went fir a trip and i accidently took the offroad thru the orag asli village...haha...luckily found way out to the town...
oh wow! Did the orang asli help you find your way back?
@@JetLagWarriors we were scared to even stop the vehicle...the way they look at us was just like how u guys felt ...hihi
Wow that's how you enjoy life at times comfortable or otherwise so learn at last.its fun n memorable for u both.Have fun n great times guys.sarawak Malaysia Borneo.
It was definitely an experience we will never forget!
Orang asli generally shy and nervous around outsiders. When tourist or outsiders come to see their way of living, most would think that our government kinda not really helping them but the reality is they really happy living the way their ancestor did. My cousin teach orang asli children in her school. You must not be too strict or get angry at them because they are kinda sensitive and shy. Sometimes her student will go into jungle for months and skipping school.
