Which jungle in SE Asia? Thailand, Borneo, Sumatra? I have a trip to Bangkok Thailand soon and have been racking my brain on where and how to take a nature-related personal trip while I’m in SE Asia on company dime.

Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia 2 weeks trip Last month me and husband spent 2 weeks in Sarawak. I did not see much info on reddit as most people go to Sabah.

Malaysian Borneo Looking for recommendations and suggestions for national parks / reserves where there are established trails and hikes that don’t necessarily involve the services of guides. Places where you can, to a degree, independently wander spotting wildlife, birds etc, lovely landscape or just have a jolly good hike. Bako NP is an obvious choice but some …
