South East Asian Trips

Early European visitors to Brunei Darussalam described Kampong Ayer, "Water Village" as "The Venice of the East". Today visitors continue to be fascinated by these traditional and historic houses on stilts which span the greater part of the Brunei River,

The world's largest water village, Kampung Ayer, extends on both sides of the Brunei River. It's a village consisting of houses on stilts, and it has close to 30,000 inhabitants. The village isn't actually one settlement, but a collection of 28 separate villages, most of which have literally been around for centuries. It's worth a visit, and if you want a closer look, water taxis can be hired which take you into the heart of the village,

No visit to Brunei Darussalam would be complete without a trip to this unique and intriguing place,
