Finally you visited Sarawak and came to my hometown, Bau 👏👏. Thank you for highlighting Tasik Biru, Fairy Caves and Bung Jagoi. My kampung is not very far from the cave. Happy to note that you did a research on the town as well as lake and the cave. Thank you! 👏👏Siniawan is another gem .. and it is really impossible to find parking there over the weekends. I pray the management will open up more parking spaces. Another problem is finding an empty table once you have secured a parking space. 😫😫 I must say your content is awesome. Well done and a Big Thank you to you! 🙋♀️👍🏼🧡
Thank you so much for sharing this video with me.Yea I am coming from Bau district too.My Kpg is Jagoi serasot Bau.Glad to see you all can explore about it.Thank you so much for your amazing works.God blessed you to where ever you are.
Thanks for visiting Bau. I just recently married to local women from Bau. Everything about Bau is breathtaking. The place, the air, the food & the local. So many to discover.
Love watching your videos it’s like I’m there with you. I just subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work of introducing and discovering amazing yet hidden places.
Thanks for covering the off beaten tracks or less known towns in Malaysia. After living abroad for so long I realized the smaller towns are the gems in Malaysia!
Hi bro, just saw your video, fantastic job! We are the owners of The Bikalan. Thank you for featuring our place & sorry we weren't there to welcome you personally. Cheers & all the best 😎🤘🍻
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video of Bau. Doggies of Bung Jagoi are very friendly and they are the local guides. They will wait for you and even come to you if you are taking longer to climb up the hills. One of my best hiking experience!
@@CKology Yes! Exactly my thought too after my hike there. Since then I always keep some dog kibble and dry cat food in my car. Never know when will need them 😂😂 ...never know when will meet such truly nice local guides again!
3:42 You are lucky Fairy Cave has all that nice stairs. The last I visited was in the mid 80s and we'd be lucky if we come out without having guano on us. 😄 13:58 It amused me to see the local Iban language being used (Sarikei (a town near Sibu) Jakar (Jakar is like an R&R stop by the roadside... can't even call it a town and it's near Sarikei)). "Bisi dijual ditu" - [the shumai] is sold here.
Thank u for visiting Sarawak, and thank u for visiting Bau, my kampung. Next time when you're in Bau, don't order kolo mee, coz you can find kolo mee all over Kuching, u try to order mee sup, that's the local favourite. Especially when u eat at the same kopitiam at siniawan.
Wow, Sarawak is so beautiful! Now CK has brought me here 😄 I will definitely visit in the nearest future. The blue lake looks very refreshing, beautiful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for promoting my lovely Hometown! Really appreciate your efforts and revealing interesting places to public about more best place in Sarawak. Good Job Bro👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@CKology Before the Covid19 Pandemic, Bau got the Border/bargain Market located at Kampung Serikin. Where it is the border between kalimantan indonesia and malaysia. The distance from the Bau town is only 25km. There are various goodies/foods sale and famously for bargaining the items. It's a pity because it's closed due to pandemic. Hopefully both goverments can give green light to reopen it soon😊😊😊
Ck, i have just subscribed to your channel. I love the way you present your adventures, very lively and down to earth. Your videos are engaging, keep it up👍🏻👌🏻💯😍
Awwww thank you for yr Bau Travel tips. I was about to ask hey..could you take us around then you said lastly you are from the west. Is there any tours to book from Kuching to Bau? I am very interested to visit next year. Any imfors are most welcome. Thank you in advance . And how do i book a nite stay at the homestay mentioned here. And i would a few recomendations on what or where to visit in kuching. I have only 3 days thou.
You don't need a tour guide, all you need is to rent a car and watch my video! You can do Bau in one one day! The homestay place has a Fb, I contacted them through there.
Might I just add a little friendly comment as a local Sarawakian. Bau is actually pronounced in 2 separate syllables. Ba-U. Not how usually the Malay language pronounced the word "bau" which means smell. Thanks for promoting the lesser known towns of Sarawak by the way. Keep up the good work.
This is a great video to showcase some of the places in Bau. With that said, since you featured Bikalan, on your next visit do give the "Dynamite Sticks" a go. 🙈
Next please come to our old kampung Semban further inside from Bau. But you need to hike and use boat a few hours and I believe you will love the view and the environment 😍🌈
Love the cozy and intimate district, Ck! Those food options looks so delicious, more meaningful that it is cooked by the locals :) do you exit the cave on the same dark path or there’s another way out? Hehehe 😃😃😃 Cheers to another great feature with storytime 😃👍🏻😃👍🏻⭐️
Bro I left an email in instagram furtherance to the DJI mini 2 in that email. If u r free sont u mind to check n guide me. Tq so much. So sorry trouble u
11:24 are you sure those are curry leaves in your beehoon? I thought it was ‘mani cai’ or ‘pucuk manis’ - the same vege you usually find in pan mee. No? :)
11:15 Did I not hear "Cangkok manis" being mentioned here?.. this is probably cangkok manis fried bee hoon with sprinkled stir-fried curry leaves as a crunchy garnish...??🤔
This is the first video of yours that I watch. You are so much fun! and I like that you show the hidden gems of Malaysia, which I find to be more fulfilling than the typical tourist places... Anyway now I'm in a bind... Travel to Sarawak or to Kelantan first?
Many folklore has about the same reason for being turned into "a tragedy site" regarding making fun of animals. The formation of Tasek Buyut in Kota Marudu, Sabah was also believed to emerge during a harvest festival celebration, where they dressup dogs and making fun of them. Hence they were cursed and being swallowed into the ground and a lake emerge at the site. That was what I heard from the community. I've been to Kuching every year during my work days but too bad did not visit Bau then. Heard about the town but not the underlying stories about it besides the present of Tasek Biru.
Early in the morning, about 7 30 am... I wanted the midst shot and with no visitor yet as the paddling is not yet in operation so I can shoot in peace too
Bau, A Small Village, An 'hour Drive from Kuching.This Historical Place is 'once A Rich Thriving 'Gold Mining Township' The 'Name, " Bau" were derived from the 'Geograpical of the Mountain Terrian, in the Mandarine Language, which bear the similarity of A Hat'.The Early'Chinese Settlers' from China were Immigrants to Work in the'Gold Mining' Exploration. Bau, beside, Caves, there are plenty beautiful 'Scenic Outdoors Adventure which will be A Thrilling Adventure to Explore.!!
This is my hometown. Years ago, there wasn't any proper stairs up to fairy cave. Basically u need to climb some vertical ladders & the walls were made into muddy rocky stairs. People use to go up there & hang out & sometime pray to the stalactites to ask for lottery number. There's a few special corner in the caves only old visitors knows about. As for the legends, there were two children. A girl & a boy from a poor family. The 'rumah panjang or baruk' belongs to a rich family who despise the poor family who happen to have no father. So he & the whole village ousted the mother from the village. During the Gawai festival the children visits the village hoping to get some food. Like the story, the headman gave the food but it was 'liliek'; which means leftovers & spits. They laughed when the innocent children accepted the food. When the mother saw the food, she became so angry & told the children to bring the dressed up cat. You see, long time ago, in our culture, animals are not pets. Cats are used to hunt pest. Dogs to hunt. They have their own spirits. Therefore you cannot mock or laugh at them. If you do, you're mocking their guardian spirit / god. The cat was the late husband 'companion' & used to protect his family. So the mother ask the cat to dance for the villagers. Once the cat dance in costume, the villagers started to laugh & angered the guardian spirit who turn them all to stone. That's why no animals allowed in the caves & you're never to visit the caves during Gawai. Bcoz the legend say during Gawai, the village comes alive & will take you to join them forever. Children were also not allowed coz well, it was said the villagers were sorry, so they wants to 'take care' of children instead of being mean. Nowadays many not bothered with the legends anymore. But few years when I went there alone during Gawai, I practically gave my relatives heart attack & they thought I got swallowed by the 'villagers' 😂 There's also stories & lore about the underground village under the cave & the tale of the 'tall people' (aka Bigfoot). But I've written too long already. 😂
Finally you visited Sarawak and came to my hometown, Bau 👏👏. Thank you for highlighting Tasik Biru, Fairy Caves and Bung Jagoi. My kampung is not very far from the cave. Happy to note that you did a research on the town as well as lake and the cave. Thank you! 👏👏Siniawan is another gem .. and it is really impossible to find parking there over the weekends.

Might I just add a little friendly comment as a local Sarawakian. Bau is actually pronounced in 2 separate syllables. Ba-U. Not how usually the Malay language pronounced the word "bau" which means smell. Thanks for promoting the lesser known towns of Sarawak by the way. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the note, certainly will take note! Nobody mentioned the name while I was there, so I improvised! LOL
@Bella Delphino I was struggling a bit to write the pronunciation properly. But, yeah. What u said.
Like bau wangi bau busuk
Thank u!
Wooow..its my beautiful hometown
Very beautiful indeed! Lucky you!
This is a great video to showcase some of the places in Bau. With that said, since you featured Bikalan, on your next visit do give the "Dynamite Sticks" a go. 🙈
Thanks for the tips! Will do!
Fairy cave so beautiful now.
Totally revamped 🤵♂️
TQ for introducing BaU to us. Must make it a destination to visit. Forget visiting other ctries. We shd explore our own backyard. I'm so guilty....
Thanks for watching! More exciting destinations coming up and they are all in our backyard 🚜
Great video...👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Next please come to our old kampung Semban further inside from Bau.
But you need to hike and use boat a few hours and I believe you will love the view and the environment 😍🌈
Omg I totally will do that 🌴
Well done, thanks for information
U are welcome 🙏🏻 for watching
You're very brave entering the dark caves by yourself! I could never do it. 🙂
It was easy!
Great find ! Thx 🙏🏻
Thanks 🔺🔺
It’s on my bucket list now BAU!
Should b on everyone's bucket list
Is it very hot & humid like singapore ? Stayed one night in singapore years ago, the humidity !!!!!
It’s the tropic 🦎
Siniawan night market is just another local food court for me.
🪝You don’t know how lucky you are
Beautiful Bau.

Hi C, what's the easiest way to get to Bau from kuching if I don't drive?
Would you recommend spending a night there?
I can only think of driving my fren
Now I want to go to Bau!
Good idea 🔍
Nice to see you in Bau
Thanks Bau for having me!
You are one brave guy !!
Yep ! Watch the video where I swim with sharks 🦈
11:24 are you sure those are curry leaves in your beehoon? I thought it was ‘mani cai’ or ‘pucuk manis’ - the same vege you usually find in pan mee. No? :)
I think herbal leaves

really2 miss this place..been there before covid 19 war...😂
Glad it brings back memories
Suggest you go to Lundu and Sematan.
Oh I must do research on these two
This is my hometown. Years ago, there wasn't any proper stairs up to fairy cave. Basically u need to climb some vertical ladders & the walls were made into muddy rocky stairs.
People use to go up there & hang out & sometime pray to the stalactites to ask for lottery number. There's a few special corner in the caves only old visitors knows about.
As for the legends, there were two children. A girl & a boy from a poor family. The 'rumah panjang or baruk' belongs to a rich family who despise the poor family who happen to have no father. So he & the whole village ousted the mother from the village. During the Gawai festival the children visits the village hoping to get some food. Like the story, the headman gave the food but it was 'liliek'; which means leftovers & spits. They laughed when the innocent children accepted the food.
When the mother saw the food, she became so angry & told the children to bring the dressed up cat.
You see, long time ago, in our culture, animals are not pets. Cats are used to hunt pest. Dogs to hunt. They have their own spirits. Therefore you cannot mock or laugh at them. If you do, you're mocking their guardian spirit / god.
The cat was the late husband 'companion' & used to protect his family. So the mother ask the cat to dance for the villagers.
Once the cat dance in costume, the villagers started to laugh & angered the guardian spirit who turn them all to stone.
That's why no animals allowed in the caves & you're never to visit the caves during Gawai. Bcoz the legend say during Gawai, the village comes alive & will take you to join them forever. Children were also not allowed coz well, it was said the villagers were sorry, so they wants to 'take care' of children instead of being mean.
Nowadays many not bothered with the legends anymore. But few years when I went there alone during Gawai, I practically gave my relatives heart attack & they thought I got swallowed by the 'villagers' 😂
There's also stories & lore about the underground village under the cave & the tale of the 'tall people' (aka Bigfoot). But I've written too long already. 😂
Gosh thanks for this story 👍🏻
