“Have you ever heard of a village that floats?” I ask, gesturing towards Sungai Siamas. Sungai Siamas isn’t just a river; it’s the lifeblood of a floating village, a part of Kampong Ayer nestled on the Brunei River. Here, homes, schools, and mosques rise on stilts, connected by a network of wooden walkways. This unique village, officially known as Kampung Sungai Siamas, is a testament to Brunei’s rich history and enduring traditions. Sungai Siamas is located in the heart of Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, in the Brunei-Muara district, within the Mukim Sungai Kebun. As of 2021, the population of Kampung Sungai Siamas is a close-knit community of 102 people. The village’s postal code is BK1925, a small detail but a vital one for connecting this floating world to the mainland. Imagine the daily rhythms of life here on Sungai Siamas. The gentle rocking of the river, the calls to prayer echoing across the water, the vibrant colors of homes painted in cheerful hues. Sungai Siamas, part of the larger Kampong Ayer, stands as a reminder of Brunei’s historical connection to its waterways. A community thriving not just beside the river, but upon it. Sungai Siamas is more than just a village; it’s a living museum, a vibrant community where tradition meets modernity, where the past and present flow together like the waters of the Brunei River.
