Singapore’s last kampong has been in the news recently because of its slated development, and so we’ve started seeing an outpouring of visitors to Kampong Buangkok hoping to capture the last bits of kampong life, such as Claudia, and Aram’s virtual tour of the kampong. What’s so special about kampong life? For one, the peace and quiet. Stepping into the boundaries of Kampong Buangkok feels like you’ve left the hustle and bustle of modern Singapore and literally stepped into yesterday. Dogs and chickens still walk freely around the kampong.

Don’t mistake the rustic atmosphere for a prehistoric throwback into time: in Kampong Buangkok, old is gold.
