failed to get the bioluminescent fungi (mushroom) .. but still able to see this beautiful glow in night fungi … amazing off the light for 10-20s then surrounding will be glowing…
found this at Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort (while we have our night walk), a place worth to visit for macro outing, found tarantulas, caterpillar mimic snake .. fresh air …
I visit both Bako National Park and Kubah at the same time and a great outing and am sure will revisit this place again in near future … again here full of oppurtunity of getting frogs, snake .. even birds .. but no luck for insects . could be the weather ? we don;t even meet one jumping spider in the trails … (some stick insect , spiders … )
beside Bako National Park, we also visit this beautiful mangrove for mangrove , crocodile, dolphin ….
arrive to Buntal village (from Kuching ~45minutes) it should have boat arrangement but prefer to be there earlier as best time for Dolphin ~19am-12pm but also depend on the tide
so excited for the 1st time so close to the wild crocodile .. (~2-4meter away)
my long plan East Malaysia wildlifes, macro etc trip to Bako/Kubah National Park locate at Kuching, Sarawak .
thanks Andy Paul, Maureen, Andy Teo, Michael Wong, Simon Rex, CM Chong, Nizam (thanks for the local arrangement) etc to make this fanstatic trip for me …
Bako National Park, from Kuching airport can take taxi, bus to Kampung Bako Jetty (about 30 minutes) and a boat ride (can arrange near jetty and the rate is fix ~RM90 return)..
within the National Park, you are near to a beach with beautiful Sunset direction (will share some pictures later) .. most of the track need bit walk, night walk is a must to see wild lifes, insect etc … but take extra note as saw many pit viper (saw ~4-5 Wagler’s pit viper for 3 days)… will slow update with pictures
****best prawn ever ..we bought alive prawn from the fisherman while we met them on ocean and immediate back to canteen to boil it …

was invited to attend a wedding of my best friends Andy & Maureen… got to know this place year back when they told me this GEM place for nature photography .. finally I step into this great place … even I did not do a lot of photography due to the agenda, weather and trying to go more place to understand more …
fly to Miri, Sarawak for MAS wing transit to Ba’kelalan (~1.5 hours total flight which stop by Lawas) … a great experience first time use this “small plane” …
wonder which one do I go up 😀 … left or right ….
and how far do I away from the pilot …
a wonderful experience on the flight … it fly not too high …. ~1000m from sea …
the Air port we step down …
and the waiting area ..
all of the relative and, Ketua Kampung will come out to welcome we all ..
will share more on this beautiful place soon …

after years , i revisit this place twice and here is recent one 2017 Sept visit
so far I never serious on mushroom even a real beautiful glowth while dark …
but while I meet up Nature photographers from Bintulu .. (their patient to shoot mushroom just have my full respect) … I think I will do more mushroom outing after the Bintulu trip
