Culture in Kuching

Great for relaxing and zoning out away from the city. PS remember to check when the fruit season is if you want to see orangutans

2D1N Homestay with a Bidayuh Local | Orangutans, Village Life, and Jungle Trek

We had a wonderful time and our highlights were the trek up to the waterfall with Abbie, our guide, who was amazing. Very kind, knowledgeable and full of interesting stories about Sarawaks history, culture and people. 
 Our Longhouse home stay family were so welcoming and we were invited to a birthday party within the community. Everyone was so kind and generous, it was such an interesting experience in itself. A trip definitely worth doing, especially if you can get Abbie as your guide!

You can visit the workshop and see the team of weavers in action. There is also a shop which sells Tanoti products, from handwoven silk scarves to rattan hairbands. A modern take on a traditional craft.

Now I understand why a piece of traditional hand-weaved silk can cost as much as RM80k. The deaign has to be weaved into the fabric thread by thread, all by hand without any electrical powered machinery. And it can takes a master weaver more than a year to complete. Weaving is beyond creating something practical, it's an artform and also a living artifact that speaks of our rich culture.

Amazing!! It is really helpful and give information by open the website and pages to tell everyone what they do contribute with all the handicraft.

They do offer the class to those interest to learn the handicraft making process. Tanoti House do sale the handicraft beside joint the world competition for creative designer to show their talents to the world.

Tanoti House also used their place to display all the handicraft and give study / advice to the public.

Very useful to those in research of the heritage by talents or any what's being did or do in the pass or in present time.

But business is still a business, not only gains the profit but the acknowledge to us and everybody who loved the heritage and the creative designer as a platform to help themselves and everybody.

Ms. Umang provided an excellent tour and explanation of the weaving techniques used by the artisans. I was captivated by their culture and would love to visit again if I return to Kuching, Sarawak with my friends to show a glimpse of Sarawakians culture 🤗
