Kampong Ayer (Water Village). Brunei

Kampong Ayer (Water Village) on the Brunei River. Brunei

The water villages of Southeast Asia like Kampong Ayer on the Brunei River always fascinate me a lot.

For instance, the floating village on the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia. The old Chinese Waterfront Settlement on Penang in Malaysia.

Also, the floating farms on the Inle Lake in Myanmar (Burma) as well as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and many more.

I must say, Kampong Ayer is very well kept, clean and organised.

Walking around Kampong Ayer (water village) on the Brunei River is a delightful experience which I would suggest to anyone.

Watching the local villagers to set the fishing net before the high tide is another charming encounter.

Cruising around the meandering wooden stilt footpaths through the water village relaxes me a lot.

Brunei River

I’ve already been to Borneo twice. The first time, Sabah, in the Malaysian part and this time in the Sultanate of Brunei.

I have to admit, it has great sunsets, almost everyday!

Later, I left the water village of Kampong Ayer to visit the Brunei River by boat. Wonderful experience!

I saw Proboscis monkeys on mangrove trees. They live on the island of Borneo only.

The sky all over the water village of Kampong Ayer suddenly became surreal with strong magenta and orange colours on the way back to the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.
